I have this problem - my UE5 launch takes 4-5 mins.
Forum says:
This issue is documented here
The problem will be solved by the next release of glibc (3.34+)
Actually, you can use a patched version of glibc called glibc-dso.
It’s available on the AUR.
I’ve JUST installed it
my starting time for UE 4.27 falls from 1 m 11s to less than 15s
Thanks for the reply, you are correct on glibc being the problem. From my limited research it seems an official patch may take some time. If you cannot wait there is a patch available from a PPA, check this thread for details Apply DSO sorting patches to glibc in Linux images · Issue #177 · adamrehn/ue4-docker · GitHub .
I have installed it and it has reduced editor load times (for me) from over 4 minutes to just a few seconds
It was few years ago. So, I checked my glibc version:
ldd --version
ldd (GNU libc) 2.31
Copyright (C) 2020
And found:
The current stable version of glibc is 2.38, released on July 31st, 2023. · The current development version of glibc is 2.39
So, the questions are:
- is there a separate glibc 3.xx version like in Python versioning? Didn’t find any info about it.
- how to update my glibc to a proper version in Leap 15.5 if I see 2.31 in Yast as the latest?
- should I use Tumbleweed for “for the greater good” and better development experience? I used it before and quite good except of Nvidia GPU + kernel updates and Android emulator performance degrade.
