Defold Engine Won't Open

I recently decided to start using Linux on my Pixelbook. I installed the linux defold zip file, unziped it, and ran the defold file. Everything seems to be working fine. The splash page shows up, but then it just disappears. When I click on the linux icon it just shows a white line. The linux terminal alternates between checking line 283 and 290 and saying “ipdate not found”.

What is going on?

What Linux distribution are you using?
