Hey wymdhr-

There are a few additional questions I would like to ask to help investigate your issue.

  • Was the engine installed under the root directory? If so, please try installing the engine in another non-root folder and let me know if you have the same issue.
  • When building the engine, did you include make UE4Editor to ensure the editor itself was built?
  • If you are trying to run the editor with the -OpenGL 4 command, please try opening the editor without this command.

If you continue to get errors after this, please let me know what your steps were for installing the editor. Also try using this tutorial and let me know if you still have problems: A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums

I fond that it was wrong with the Graphics driver, The default driver after finishing install ubuntu is open source graphics driver, unreal need to compile all the 3,000+ shaders built into the editor, the default driver is not supported. So before install the unreal, we need to reinstall the driver using nvidia official driver.

The steps are:

1、Remove old driver:

sudo apt-getremove --purge nvidia-*

sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

2、Download NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.27.run(my graphics is GeForce GTX 1080)

Download in home path

3、Ctrl+alt+F1

sudo service lightdm stop

4、Install nvidia driver

sudo chmod 755 NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.27.run //Get permission

sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.27.run //install

–Accept

–Continue installation

5、Open graphical interface

sudo service lightdm start

Thanks，I have solve the problem～～
