hello all! newbie here.
i’ve installed ue5.1.1 on my linux mint computer (ubuntu 22.04LT). i dropped the quixel bridge plugin into the plugins folder. quixel bridge appears in the dropdown and the plugin list as its supposed to. so all that seems to be working fine.
however, when i go to open quixel bridge, ue5 hangs for a bit, then crashes.
cef3.log has this error:
[0100/000000.207373:ERROR:zygote_linux.cc(608)] Zygote could not fork: process_type gpu-process numfds 3 child_pid -1
[0100/000000.207633:ERROR:zygote_linux.cc(640)] write: Broken pipe (32)
and the main log ends with these two lines which seem potentially relevant:
[2023.04.04-18.34.56:621][262]LogToolMenus: Warning: Menu item not found: ‘OpenMarketplace’ for insert: ‘ContentBrowser’
[2023.04.04-18.34.59:265][410]LogCEFBrowser: CEF GPU acceleration enabled
looking online, i found some people with a similar problem. quixel bridge would crash ue. they were able to fix the problem on m1 max computers (whatever that means) by enabling the “web browser” plugin.
so i tried this as well.
now, when i open the project at all, ue5 crashes.
checking the logs again, cef3.log now shows:
[0100/000000.128511:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(374)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.
[0100/000000.817343:ERROR:broker_posix.cc(43)] Invalid node channel message.
apparently this error is fairly common with chromium? i know nothing about this.
seems like before, i didnt have any web browser, so it crashed. now, it cant load the web browser plugin, because my linux cef something something isnt working. maybe i need to install something??
if anyone can help, i’d really appreciate it. otherwise i’ll have to use windows. yikes.
or maybe someone can tell me how to get the docker version working, maybe that one wont crash X’D
