No way to activate my unity pro license on Linux.

So either on the unity hub or in the editor -> Help -> Manage license

You need to first log in.

you click on login which opens up a webpage where you log into your unity account,

but this is what happens when you're logged in (whether new attempt or that first attempt) :

and open xdg-open does nothing.

so can this please be fixed? I paid good money and it's been like this for years (this same issue prevents linux users from adequately using unity Archive) and I've now been unable to use my pro version of unity for months.

 

1- Check if you have the file unityhub.desktop in /usr/share/applications/, if not create it and if you have it already, make sure it has the below entries. In case you can also download my file here

[Desktop Entry]

Name=Unity Hub

Exec=/opt/unityhub/unityhub %U

Terminal=false

Type=Application

Icon=unityhub

StartupWMClass=unityhub

Comment=The Official Unity Hub

Categories=Development;

TryExec=unityhub

MimeType=x-scheme-handler/unityhub;

2- Make sure Exec and TryExec are pointing to the right location; in my case is /opt/unityhub/unityhub

3- Execute via terminal the following. With this command, Firefox will display xdg-open window and hopefully, you will be finally able to log in.

xdg-mime default unityhub.desktop x-scheme-handler/unityhub

4- In case the above solution did not work out for you, I would suggest you to use for the time being the Unity Hub 2.4.x
You can get it here and below is the MD5 Checksum
22494f15b4002829eb206ce82f26a0cd UnityHub.AppImage

Let me know.

 

3 only firefox?

also how did you install it?
I have an appimage.
and i manually created my own desktop file that points to the appimage
will this work with the appimage too?

EDIT :

Code (JavaScript):

1. xdg-mime default unityhub.desktop x-scheme-handler/unityhub

this returns without doing anything.
I also tried like this

Code (JavaScript):

1. xdg-mime default ./unityhub.desktop x-scheme-handler/unityhub

And yeah I'm in the right folder and my desktop happened to be called exactly like yours : unityhub.desktop

 

I had to do all the steps from 1 through 3 only for Firefox; Google Chrome worked out of the box for me.
I am using Debian BookWorm by the way with KDE 5.

You could try to uninstall Google Chrome like so

Remember to Backup your Google Chrome Bookmarks

sudo apt remove --purge google-chrome*

sudo rm -r /home/$USER/.cache/google-chrome/

sudo rm -r /home/$USER/.config/google-chrome/

Install a brand new Google Chrome

https://www.google.com/chrome/

Once you have downloaded Google Chrome go into the folder where you just downloaded Chrome and type

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable*

Hopefully now, you should be able to log in

Unityhub 2.4.x worked out of the box and I did not need to create the desktop file explained in step #1.

If you need help to uninstall/install Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?redirect_source=firefox-com, please let me know.

 

I don't really understand. I've tested on Vivaldi, Chrome and a freshly installed firefox now.
The desktop file changes did not work for the appImage version of unity hub.

How did you manage to have a local install of unity hub?

there's only appimage that I can find online.

EDIT anyways you're right, with that old AppImage version I managed to activate my license.
instead of opening a webpage it does it in the app.

 

Thanks, It helped me.
I had some forgotten bad copy of unityhub.desktop in folder ~/.local/share/applications/.
