Question by hubot · Jul 17, 2016 at 08:37 PM · unity 5issuelinux editor

I can't log in Unity on Linux

I use Linux Mint 18 Sarah 64-bit version with Cinnamon. I've decided to install Unity3d 5.1.0f3 from following website:

http://blogs.unity3d.com/2015/08/26/unity-comes-to-linux-experimental-build-now-available/.

I downloaded it as .deb package and I extracted it write command sudo dpkg -i unity-editor-5.1.0f3+2015082501_amd64.deb in terminal. When I'm trying run Unity3d from menu and log in then I'm receiving following error:

Service not available, please try again later. I shown it on this screenshot: http://imgur.com/bEItclP. Can anybody help me?

I got the Editor to run by entering the following from the Terminal window:

 LD_PRELOAD=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libresolv.so.2 /opt/Unity/Editor/Unity

Can you explain what it does?

I'm not really a Linux user (just occationally). However a simple google showed this which should explain what it does. Basically it let you specify a library which should be preloaded before the command / application that follows is run. So this line forces the "libresolv.so.2" library to be preloaded before the Unity editor is started.
