Adding a new

Hi, I'm trying to get Unity Engine to run on Arch Linux. If it's not installed in a native filesystem of type ext3 or 4 I get compilation errors.

Since I can't install UE in my root partition I need to make a new partition.

Can I do this while running the machine normally or do I need to insert a usb with the install files on it and load that during boot. `sudo fdisk /dev/nvme0n1` suggests unmounting all file systems even though they're in use.

[Thimble2112@overlord ~]$ sudo fdisk /dev/nvme0n1

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.39.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

This disk is currently in use - repartitioning is probably a bad idea.
It's recommended to umount all file systems, and swapoff all swap
partitions on this disk.

[Thimble2112@overlord ~]$ sudo umount /dev/nvme0n1p3

I'd suggest slowing down and doing better diagnostics as that really doesn't make any sense. If for no other reason than you want to add another partition just so you can make it ext4, but your existing root and home partitions are already ext4 - so clearly that's not actually the problem.

This is definitely an X-Y problem. What actually goes wrong in building unity engine?

You're right I jumped the gun a bit there and didn't notice the Home partition was ext4.

I've been trying to resolve this issue for such a long time and when I saw a post by a user claiming to have the same issue and that installing the engine in an ext4 partition resolved it, I got a bit loopy.

I swapped to Linux recently, been on-and-off trying to get it to run for a while now. When I launch the application it's entirely black. Other users have reported this in the past and some of them have been able to resolve this issue, however what has worked for them hasn't worked for me.

Other things I have

* Resetting the UI Layout (this crashes the application)
* Running the editor with the command flag -force-gfx-direct, this only launched the HUB, despite running the editor executable
* Disabling Sync to VBlank in NVIDIA settings

Things I've not yet tried
* Running Unity Game Engine through Wine

Please replace the oversized image w/ a link.

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22erro … .unity.com has the error couple of times - it seems to hinge on some plugins (input, occulus) but basically just to be a generic error.
