This is not a known issue. Would you please report a bug? (You can report a bug through the tray menu)
Also, I am wondering if your unity installs are downloaded with Unity Hub? If yes, did you change the installation location by any chance?

 

When you upgraded to the latest hub, did you lose the folders under `D:\Program Files\Unity Hub\Editor`? Or they are there and don't show up when you start the hub?

 

Hello,

After testing a few scenarios we came to the conclusion that your issue will occur when the Unity editor install location is inside the Hub's install location. Unfortunately our auto-update mechanism cleans up the Hub's directory at every update. We will try to detect this in the future and show a warning.

In the meantime we recommend you choose another location for your installs of Unity. Anywhere outside the Hub's installation folder should be fine.

Thanks for the feedback!

PS: If you wish to discuss this further, could you please create a new thread? This will help other users that experience the same issue.

 

Do you think it is related to this forum? https://forum.unity.com/threads/lin...nstall-mac-windows-build-support-mono.548896/

If yes, we are shipping a fix for this in 0.22.2 (soon)

 

Would you please open a new thread for this issue. I may have workarounds for this issue.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.
It may be related to the fact that you don't have 7z (a bug that we are working on). Can you try `sudo apt-get install p7zip-full` as a workaround to see if that is the issue?

 

You can find logs for Unity Hub here: ~/.config/UnityHub/logs
Also, you can report a bug through the bug reporter bundled with the hub (accessible through my account dropdown or the tray menu). That way, we can also take a closer look into the log files.

Thanks

 

Would you please open a separate thread for other issues. thanks
