Bug ~/.local/share/unity3d/Packages isn't created but needed

The directory is needed to open unity-editor, otherwise the 'recent' window will just stay black and no way to login.
Workaround:

Code (bash):

1. mkdir -p ~/.local/share/unity3d/Packages

(Otherwise it will write to log sth like: "cant cp /opt/Unity/Editor/Data/Resources/Packages/unityeditor-cloud-hub-0.0.1.tgz to ..."

 

Hat the same error, just creating the ~/.local/share/unity3d/ folder is sufficient though, the other folder gets created automatically then.
I also wrote a short blog post about this: http://z3ntu.github.io/2015/12/18/fixing-unity-5.3-startup-error-linux.html

 

The workaround didn't work for me on Fedora 22. What I did was I created the directory in the workaround, then I went into the Unity Editor's root directory and copied the packages from, Data/Resources/Packages, into ~/.local/share/unity3d/Packages. After I did that, it worked just fine.

 

Weird, for me it just automatically copied the files on next run, after creating the directories

 

What version were you running? I was running 5.3.0f4.

 

Same here, didn't happen before 5.3
