Defold Editor Not Starting in Linux

What does it say if you run it from the terminal?

What version of Ubuntu are you running??
Our minimum supported Ubuntu version is now 16.04 (see release notes)

Hmm, I’m not sure why it behaves like that. Is this directly when you start the editor?

After some googling on your error, “org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [gtk_init_check() failed]”, there are a few ideas:

  • The callstack suggests that you are having problems with the gtk package.
    What version of gtk do you have? (dpkg -l libgtk[0-9]* | grep ^i)

  • It could be related to your X server. Running as root could cause issues

  • It could be IPV6 related


I’ve tried to use root, and disable Ipv6, but It still ran for me :confused:

I downloaded the Defold editor 1 on our Fedora and tested to open the file defold-linux.sh and nothing happening! Is i opening wrong file?:grinning:

And in Editor 2 is the building function not working!
Before:


After:

There’s a progressbar bottom right in your last screenshot, at 73%. Doesn’t it reach 100%? And the status bottom left mentions that it writing files to disk. It looks like the builds are working, but I assume something goes wrong?

How is this related to Defold or the problem you’re having?
