    Hi guys, i'm new to linux here so please bear with me.

    My problem is i cant seem to open unity,my unity file type is "Unknown" and when i try to open it with terminal , it gives me a chrome embedded framework permission error. I tried to fix it by using "sudo chmod 4755 /opt/Unity/Editor/chrome-sandbox" but it still gives me the error regardless.I then tried using the agnostic-platform installer but I have no idea how to use it.I try to load the page but it takes forever and if i "save page as" an "sh" extension without waiting for it to load finish , it gives me an error.How do i fix this?

    Hmm, if your new to Linux it's probably a better idea to use one of the Ubuntus ?

    I don't understand the chrome thing, but the file to start is /opt/Unity/Editor/Unity (mayhaps a different path on your machine) and it should already be marked executable. If not, 'sudo chmod +x' that file. And, if your language is not english, start it via a little script and set LC_ALL=C.

    The file needs to be owned by root and then the 4755 stuff needs to be set.

    try:

    ls -l /opt/Unity/Editor/chrome-sandbox
    sudo chown root:root /opt/Unity/Editor/chrome-sandbox
    sudo chmod 7455 /opt/Unity/Editor/chrome-sandbox
    ls -l /opt/Unity/Editor/chrome-sandbox

    Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative.

    EOS (I know its an ubuntu derivative) is still quite buggy and I think you should switch back to Ubuntu at this moment

    @jacobgmartin Thanks, it worked except it's 4755 instead of 7455
