Cannot run project with Rider 2023 and dotnet-8.0 on Ubuntu 22.04.3

Question

I had dotnet-sdk-7.0 installed and everything worked perfectly. Yesterday I installed dotnet-sdk-8.0 from the Microsoft package repository removing the existing .NET packages from my distribution first: sudo apt remove 'dotnet*' 'aspnet*' 'netstandard*' And now Rider cannot run my project.

My system: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

dotnet --info:

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Got exactly the same problem. For me solution was to edit

/etc/dotnet/install_location
/etc/dotnet/install_location_x64

/usr/share/dotnet instead of /usr/lib/dotnet

After that change everything works great.

I just deleted the /etc/dotnet folder, which worked for me. Related dotnet issue: github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/82858 – Glucoside

this is correct, saved me after 10 hours of pulling my hair out... :) – Amphibolous

Answer 2

Until someone posts a correct solution I'll present a temporary one. First of all, add an env variable:

DOTNET_ROOT="/usr/lib/dotnet"

Also, check that project properties are correct. Right-click on the folder with the project and select "Properties". Set the correct checkbox for "Target Framework". It looks like the command sudo apt remove 'dotnet*' 'aspnet*' 'netstandard*' leaves some artifacts from the dotnet-sdk-7.0.

Answer 3

I found that I had a global.json in the root directory of my project that looked like this:

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "3.1.0",
    "rollForward": "latestFeature",
    "allowPrerelease": false
  }
}

Updating version to 8.0.403 allowed net6.0 and net8.0 to appear in Rider's Edit target framework dialog.
