I am trying to create a new Blank project.
Ho to reproduce the issue:
“Select or create new project” => “Film, television and live events” => Blank => “With starter content, raytracing disabled” => Create Project.
After a while I receive the error in attachment.
Any hints?
Try building the project on the CLI to check what is failing on that plugin.

Same error as before 
And what does the log say? It should be in the project dir “Saved/Logs/”, that would also provide a bit more info.
I am launching Unreal from the CLI, as the desktop icon does not work. the warning says:

Apparently you need the decklink driver installed, so depending on your distro you might need to install that. Do you need the “Film, television and live events” type of project? You might also be able to just disable that one particular plugin in your projects uproject file.
I want to use unreal for animation movies, I do need the “Film, television and live events” type of project but I do not need the BlackMagicMedia camera. How can I disable that plugin?
I am using Pop_OS, an Ubuntu based distro. I think it’s easier to disable that plugin then to install the decklink drivers.
In the .uproject file (it is a text file) in your project directory go down and search for BlackmagicMedia and change the Enabled value from true to false
