I successfully compiled UE from Git, but on running it fails to start, saying that the Editor was quit, however, it never showed up and the splash stays on screen at 75% loading. I’ve tried to find solutions, but nobody has posted similar issues that I could find. Graphics drivers are up to date and working fine, I have 64gb of ram which is largely free. I’m running on Ubuntu 18.04 following the official Linux getting started guide and the most recent github repo (As of May 18th). Both the Release and the 4.25 branches have been tested with identical results.
Here is what I believe is the relevant section of the logs. A complete pastebin of the log can be found here: Log file open, 05/18/20 11:09:40LogInit: Display: Running engine without a ga - Pastebin.com
