Hallo!
I have installed Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) and I tried running defold on it,
but every time i try to start a new project software seems to crash without any error or reason why
maybe i need to install something more?
Are you starting the editor by running Defold-linux.sh?

I’m guessing you’re running Editor 2? (The dark colored one)
Have you read the F.A.Q?

I am using Editor 2
I am running it via terminal and also as an executable but its the same problem
editor starts and when I click to create a new project it crashes ( shuts down instantly )
i tried to install libssl 0.9.8 ( as it is mentioned in FAQ ) but i cannot do it
it seems to be outdated and i cannot install it or at least find the way
There could be some useful information in the log files, I think they are in ~/.defold on linux. Can you have a look? A wild guess would be it’s opengl related.

Yes, opengl/jogamp related. Similar issue reported here: https://github.com/defold/editor2-issues/issues/1905
And here:

We haven’t found a good solution to this yet 
Could you please try the woraround mentioned in the second link?

It works
before i start app i use
export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.1
in terminal and then ./Defold it works
If i make this permanent some apps will not work
but i believe i can make some script that will do this automatically anytime a start defold
thank you so much
