    I'm using Unity 2018.1.0b8 on Ubuntu 17.10.

    Wherenver I generate a standard 3D Terrain and drag it into the Hierarchy Unity crashes.
    Does anyone else have this problem as well?
    Can someone quickly confirm this behavior on their installation?

    Hi there. I am using the same version, on the Ubuntu Mate distro. I just installed this yesterday. I was able to immediately reproduce the behavior, by simply going to the Game Object > 3D Object > and picking Terrain. It's a little difficult to reproduce consistently after that though, but I've managed to get it to do it at least a couple of times, sometimes by dragging one from the asset menu, and even once by right clicking the Hierarchy and directly adding a standard 3D terrain game object there.

    I wonder if this particular bug is exclusive to the latest version or if it can be reproduced on any other recent versions.

    I can't reproduce this here - can you file a bug report when the crash occurs for you?

    Unity does not open a bug report window when it crashes, it just closes completelly. I tried starting Unity from terminal, but it doesnt't output any debug info there. How else can I get Unity to output a log?

    The log goes to ~/.config/unity3d/Editor.log by default, configurable at launch by the -logfile command line argument.

    Here is my Editor.log. I just opened Unity, loaded my project, created a new Terrain in the Hierarchy and waited until it crashed. I'm not exactly sure what to look for, so I'm just posting the entire log here.

    I hope this helps you investigate.

    Do you have progressive lightmapping enabled in your project?

    Yes, I think it was set to progressive by default. Setting it to enlighten fixes the issue. As soon as I go back to progressive unity freezes for 2 seconds before crashing and closing.

    In case you're hinting at a driver or graphics issue, here are my specs:
    Intel Core i5-7200U
    NVIDIA GTX 950M 2GB GDDR5
    NVIDIA Driver 384.111

    There's a known issue with the progressive lightmapper on linux - we're working on it.
