since you've gone through that list,

[odd saffron]

here is a thread so we do not flood the main room

[vast zephyr]

“The hub does not have proper permissions to download” but i did give it permissions through properties many times

I think my computer is lying to me though

Sometimes when i try to download it it says i dont have enough space (i have 100 gigabytes)

[odd saffron]

if it says that, then you need to look towards your security software. are you using a Windows Admin permissions account?

[vast zephyr]

Im using my computers admin profile

[odd saffron]

what security software do you run?

[vast zephyr]

Hold on

I think i just did smth

[marble kestrel]

might be a firewall issue

you can turn it off in settings but make sure you put it back on

unity kinda hates firewalls 😅

[vast zephyr]

I downloaded the editor directly from unity.com/releases and it appears to be working

[marble kestrel]

where did you download it before?

[odd saffron]

that is a band-aid fix, but good. you will most likely have issues installing Modules with Hub now though

[vast zephyr]

Wait do i have to disable it completly or can i just add unity files as an exception (thats what i was doing)

[vast zephyr]

Unity hub

In the instals tab

[marble kestrel]

I believe (dont quote me) that you can select unity hub in the firewall so it can ignore it

if not then you can just turn it off for installation

then turn it back on after

[vast zephyr]

Thats what i did

[vast zephyr]

How would i add modules now?

With the website installation

[odd saffron]

i suggest figuring out how to get it installed the normal route through the Hub, than you will not have issues

[vast zephyr]

Alr

[marble kestrel]

show me how you did it

[odd saffron]

i do not know off the top of my head how, or if you can install them to a non-hub install

[marble kestrel]

did you turn it off via settings or control panel?

[odd saffron]

Unity Hub, and further, Visual Studio (which it installs) may require more permissions than just Hub. I would suggest using the initial suggestion @ dec_ves had, and disable the firewall entirely while trying again

[vast zephyr]

Windows security>virus and threat protection>manage settings>add or remove exclusion> i added unity hub

[vast zephyr]

Ok

[vast zephyr]

I turned it off and im downloading an editor rn but it will take a bit

[odd saffron]

even if it sits on Validating for a long time, just let it run. it sometimes takes more time than expected

also, make sure you catch any UAC pop-up when it asks for more permissions

[marble kestrel]

thats not the firewall

thats the antivirus

[vast zephyr]

Oh how do i turn firewall off

Nvm i found it

Just turned it off

[marble kestrel]

turn it back on after

its useful

[vast zephyr]

It says validation error but im assuming i turned it off too late

Ill try again

[marble kestrel]

so now you can download normally since you got a validation error instead of getting locked out

but do try again

[vast zephyr]

Wdym locked out?

[marble kestrel]

#1286492796470952007 message

[vast zephyr]

Ok

[marble kestrel]

i said it a little differently, my bad 😅

[vast zephyr]

Nope it says validation error :(

[marble kestrel]

check the logs to see whats causing it

get your project out of onedrive

that causes a ton of hiccups and errors

since it is cloud based, it screws with unity

did onedrive take all of your C: drive folders and such?

[vast zephyr]

yes

[marble kestrel]

nuts

welp

[vast zephyr]

is there a way to get rid of it

[marble kestrel]

well here is to get your folders back from onedrive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGxtK5WxiLA&t=210s&ab_channel=OnlineComputerTips

after you have all of your data restored to its orginal file path, you can delete onedrive (if you want)

[marble kestrel]

its recommended to delete it since onedrive is a pestilence

[odd saffron]

indeed. anytime i do a fresh install, one of the first things on the list is to remove OneDrive

but, for some, it does have its uses

[marble kestrel]

you use it?

thats not very nice of you 😂

[odd saffron]

me? no.. i uninstall it right away 🙂

[marble kestrel]

good, i helped someone a while back and it practically made a whole new PC for him

that was hard to get rid of

it took most of his files and put it in onedrive, so when he used unity, unity didnt know what it was looking at and failed on him

[odd saffron]

for future reference, this app helps a Lot with all of that
https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

one of the first things i run when i do a fresh install, and then also after any updates. it can be run at any time

[marble kestrel]

that looks amazing

oh wow it can literally block anything, neat.

where did you find it?

[odd saffron]

hmm. i do not really recall. i think i was doing random searches for how to disable things using gpedit.msc when i saw that pop-up, so i tried it. i used to use Blackbird, but it was to easy to totally destroy a Windows install with it, and also not very easy to use

[marble kestrel]

gpedit.msc? seems like a virus tbh

or at least spyware

[odd saffron]

nah, that is the built in Microsoft Group Policy Editor. it is not in Home Edition though.. only the Pro and what used to be called Ultimate

in Home Edition, you'd have to edit Registry Entries, instead of Group Policies

[marble kestrel]

oh gpedit = GroupPolicyEdit

i see now

[vast zephyr]

I cant log into my onedrive account because my account is frozen, i go to the onedrive website and it says my account is frozen because im over my storage limit of 5gb. I deleted some stuff off onedrive through the website and now im using 1% of my limit yet the issue still persists and it still says im over my storage limit

It feels like my computer specifically doesnt want me to use unity

[odd saffron]

if you are on Pro edition, you can just press Win R then type gpedit.msc and it will open. i think you can open it from Control Panel > Windows Tools too

[marble kestrel]

ah thats what happened to the other guy, bro onedrive is a pest

just delete it

after you get your files of course

[odd saffron]

i have to get back to work. nice job figuring out it was a OneDrive issue!

good luck

[vast zephyr]

I cant get my files out due to the issue above

With my account being frozen because less than 0.1 gb being used is too much

[marble kestrel]

thats why we all hate onedrive, it forces your files to use it then tries to make you pay for it even though you didnt want to use it

what exactly did you have in it?

anything important?

[vast zephyr]

I put important stuff on google drive

[marble kestrel]

ah nice, then just delete it by going to add and remove programs then finding onedrive

then Re-download unity hub on your C: and specify to windows that it will go there

then download unity normally

glad you have your important files on something not so bad

[vast zephyr]

I did that and my files have their adress as C:\Users\ricky\onedrive\desktop

[marble kestrel]

did you follow #1286492796470952007 message

you could just move your files you want manually to your C: drive

[vast zephyr]

I tried but i dont have other of those desktop and document pages

Only the onedrive ones

[marble kestrel]

you dont have desktop or documents in C:\Users\USERNAME?

[vast zephyr]

Oh wait i do

[marble kestrel]

ah good 😅

then just either follow the tutorial then or just manually move your files to your C: drive

[vast zephyr]

Ok

Onedrive is 100% deleted

[marble kestrel]

well i have to head out, if you still are having the problem tommorow then just ping me 👍

[vast zephyr]
