Official Hub 3.0 Linux new distribution mechanism - All you need to know

Hi,
I guess it's not a bad thing but I'd like to keep using the appimage (I can live without the integration thingy ); will you still maintain them?

 

Can't we just switch to the beta version within the Hub now?

 

Thanks, what about my second question, our posts passed each other by.

 

Okay, thanks. When will version 3 be officially released?

 

I installed following this article https://docs.unity3d.com/hub/manual/InstallHub.html#install-hub-beta-linux and now I'm stuck here, what should I do? https://imgur.com/a/DQwEmps

 

You need to look for the new executable, probably in usr/bin.

 

There is only 2 files with names close to "Unity", but none of them worked as expected.

 

Why not flatpak?

 

Is the flatpak version of Unity Hub packaged and provided by Unity ?
Or some other 3rd party ? Is it trustworthy ?

 

Flatplak are notoriously not supported by the software developers. There are exceptions but if the Unity Hub package is actually supported by Unity, then it should be clearly mentioned; if it's not too, for that matter.

Anyway, using anything that does not come from Unity is not recommended.

 

+1 for Flatpak support - It makes Unity easily installable through the different Linux app stores. I currently use Unity via Flatpak and it works great, although I'll be switching to this distribution method to get the beta in the meantime.

 

How do I install UnityHub if my Linux is neither Ubuntu/Debian nor RHEL/CentOS?

 

unityhub won't open.
Xubuntu,

 

Those "nice" Linux options (cough I mean fragmentation) aren't what they're marketed as. This is why Unity only officially supports Ubuntu's main distro. (sorry for the Sinicism). This plus monolithic-kernels aren't well suited for dynamic hardware while great for fixed hardware like SteamDeck / Consoles / Servers.

Flatpak might work for Unity but I found out from .NET Core team that Flatpak has a large number of issues as well. In fact the only way to install .NET Core on Linux / Ubuntu is now a .deb package as well. Snap is also just broken.

I've come to realize that for client side devs on Linux, official Ubuntu DE is the only option. Which itself has many issues but most major companies target it. Android Studio / Google, .NET, VSCode / MS & Unity3D etc.

Anyway this is just my view and experience. Linux topics can be like walking around egg shells but I do mean the best & hope for better solutions in the future.

 

Hub wont open Ubuntu 22.04


ERROR: Licensing SDK logging callback is not registered. Please use 'registerLoggingAdapter' function from the SDK to do so.

 

I did the installation following the instructions on Ubuntu, but when I open the application, this error occurs.
How can I solve this?

 

Can we get rpm variant for SUSE please?

 

Just like to point you and anyone who uses appimage to this software: AppImageLauncher or https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher

Pretty much takes care of the integration issue. I haven't had any issues using this with the previous appimage. Just a thought and I don't know how many really know about that option but it's suited my needs fine.

I run Unity on Artix Linux, an Archlinux based distribution and have no intention to switch distros or switch to Ubuntu. Hopefully you will check this out and realize there are options.

 

Any reason why Fedora is not supported? That seems kinda weird?

 

For anyone running Fedora 36, using the RHEL/Centos instructions work but you need to also install openssl 1.1 to at least get the hub to run

Code (CSharp):

1. sudo dnf -y install openssl1.1

 

+1 for Flatpak support

 

I have this exact issue. Any solutions?

 

Also running into this issue. Ubuntu 22.04.1

 

i'm on ubuntu as well nvidia graphics. getting stuck in a login loop after xdg-oprn part. the ./unityhub nor unity hub are command arguments. how did yall get past this?

 

With the obsolescence of the use of AppImage for Unity Hub on Linux, while I do see the instructions for getting Unity Hub via the terminal being linked from https://unity.com/download, I still seem to see the link for downloading the AppImage at https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download . Perhaps that page should be updated?

Also, for those on Ubuntu 22.04 who still have problems with Unity Hub, there is an official workaround with a list of steps, but it requires libssl1.1 which may not be ideal.

The workaround is mentioned in the OP of the following thread: https://forum.unity.com/threads/running-unity-on-ubuntu-22-04.1284083/

However, ideally, the Unity Hub should get patched so it supports libssl3 as well on Ubuntu 22.04 and later soon since as I mentioned in that thread that the workaround is not without consequences.

 

When I use the new installation method I cannot find the installation using `which unityhub`

Code (CSharp):

1. sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://hub.unity3d.com/linux/repos/deb stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unityhub.list'
2. wget -qO - https://hub.unity3d.com/linux/keys/public | sudo apt-key add -
3. sudo apt update
4. sudo apt install unityhub
5. which unityhub

 

I'm unable to download Unity Hub as a Debian package; it seems the package currently just doesn't exist in the repository. Where did it go?
