Bug Editor core dumping/crashes

Hey, I am using arch linux and the unity-editor package; also using the nvidia drivers (extra/nvidia 390.25-9) (GTX760), and xfce

I seem to be getting a few different crashes that makes the unity editor unusable for me. The first one I want to solve though (and hope it will resolve all other ones) is that the editor crashes while loading the first tutorial. It appears to load a lot and the editor window shows up but pretty much immediately crashes. Now, note that if I create a new project I can keep the editor open (but there are way to crash it from that point on too)

I kind of suspect there's something unique to my setup that is breaking it because it works for others that use this package

I've tried submitting tickets but both were closed as "could not reproduce"

I think because the errors tend to involve gtk, it might have to do with using xfce or something related

Anyone have any hints/solutions?

If it helps at all I installed google-chrome over chromium and it had no effect (not sure if unity is using an embedded version?)

Installed gnome3 and it didn't have an effect

 

@alex_unity704 did you try running unity from gnome? or just installed it?

 

maybe you can try deleting ~/.cache/unity3d*

 

Hey, I am running it from gnome at this point and it didn't fix anything
I'll give it a go deleting the cache folders

Judging by another post these errors didn't stop them from using the product so I am not really sure what to go on here

 

same problem here arch linux , intel graphics

 

can you skip the tutorial?

 

Do you mean like skip something in the UI but still load the tutorial project? Or do you mean create a new project alltogether?

I can create a new project and it won't immediately crash but there's random things in the UI I can interact with to crash it
The tutorial I can't do anything between when it's loading, when the screen initially tries to render, and when it crashes

The thing is I never used unity or another tool like it (for the most part) so I'd like to use the tutorial to learn

 

Oh I see, I thought you meant the video tutorials or something. In the tutorial's project folder try deleting Temp and Library.

What random things make it crash with a new empty project? I'm using it every day and it's pretty stable.

 

Hey, it looks like it creates a new .cache folder for the project every time I press start on the basic tutorial so there isn't really an option to remove temp and library

I'll have to get back to you on other things that cause crashes

 

I meant: close Unity, delete Temp/Library in the project's folder, open Unity

That fixes weird crashes for me most of the time.

 

was able to run the tutorials inside an ubuntu vm haha, terrible performance as expected though

 

what version of libgobject, libgtk, and libgdk do you have?

 

I guess ignoring the tutorial issue, maybe it's a little simpler to solve with a blank project
I can use a new project and if I click the layout button in the top right and then select anything it crashes. I am pretty convinced these are related

I can add objects and add components and it runs too, crashes on layout change (which I suspect maybe the tutorial was doing on load)




This thread sounds similar but I don't see a resolution
https://forum.unity.com/threads/crashes-when-changing-layout.351278/
https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-crashing-when-layout-tries-to-change.357508/ (although this is windows)

 

I just tried and my Layout button works fine. I remember that somebody reported on AUR that the combination of linux 4.15 + nvidia was causing problems with Unity, but I believe they were using nouveau.

I'm still on 4.14.15 because I'm just finishing a game for a client and I don't want trouble =] But it might be worth testing with an older kernel and see if that helps.

 

Ah...wonder if that's it...

[alex@arch ~]$ uname -r
4.15.3-2-ARCH

I'll think about trying another version later but that all depends how much work it is

 

[alex@arch ~]$ uname -r
4.14.20-1-lts

Problems still remain
I am using nvidia drivers
nvidia 390.25-11

Out of ideas at this point...
Maybe I'll throw together a VM with the same packages as mine (minus the nvidia drivers and see what happens

 

Exactly same problem here...
package unity-editor v2017.3.1f1 on Arch Linux kernel 4.15.3-2, integrated Radeon HD 4200 with Xorg ati video driver, KDE Plasma 5.12.

I can't load the tutorials but create and load a new project, always crashes when changing layouts.

Hooray, I am not alone

Looks like then it's not the graphics card/driver or the desktop environment
I suspect more people will run in to this as they upgrade their systems

 

Same thing here, editor crashes on reset layout. Also resizing editor panels is choppy even though i have disabled vsync from nvidia-settings (iirc that was a suggested solution)

OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20

 

@moure I find panel resizing a little bit smoother when launching the editor with -no-throttle-updates, but if you're using the AUR package that's enabled by default

@alex_unity704 I can confirm that after upgrading my system it now started to crash when I try to change layouts. This happens regardless of the GPU I'm using. I'm still trying to figure out which of the packages that were updated broke it but I haven't gotten anywhere.

I get the same stack trace @faromolo posted above, maybe @Tak or @PJayB can read into that more easily?

 

Might need some voodoo to summon them

 

Hi,
I think we've finally tracked this down. The root cause seems to be a behavior change introduced by the bleeding-edge gtk/gobject on arch, which interacts badly with some of the menu handling code.

The fix should be available in an upcoming build.

 

Awesome, this makes me really happy

 

Fixed in b13
