Unity editor 2018.2.0b7 on opensuse does not even start, just splash screen

Hi,
I just downloaded the newest version of the unity linux editor (version: 2018.2.0b7) and installed it on my system (openSUSE Tumbleweed). The installer itselt worked fine, it downloaded some stuff and seemed to installed the editor correctly.

But as i tried to start the editor I only get to see the splash screen and then nothing happens, the console only shows this texts:

Code (csharp):

1. Gdk-Message: 14:05:30.155: Unable to load exchange from the cursor theme
2. Gdk-Message: 14:05:30.155: Unable to load sizing from the cursor theme
3. Gdk-Message: 14:05:30.155: Unable to load exchange from the cursor theme
4. Gdk-Message: 14:05:30.155: Unable to load sizing from the cursor theme
5.  

So basically nothing happens, what can i do to make it work? Is there some logfile i could post here to give you some insight?

 

Hi,
I've faced the same issue (openSUSE Leap 42.3). I've found dirty workaround - I run editor as root, logged in and copied folder from /root/.config/unity3d to ~/.config/unity3d. This worked for me.

 

I can run the editor as root, which is kind of good but when copying the files over as you said, it still not work for the normal user!

It may be interesting that there was no ~/.config/unity3d for the normal user, i guess the editor did not came to the point to create this file.
Btw: i did changed the owner of the files after copying them.

 

I'm on OpenSuse 42.3 and all I had to do was:

setenv GDK_BACKEND x11 ( in tcsh) or
export GDK_BACKEND=x11 in Bash
