JetBrains Rider hangs indefinitely when creating solution file on Ubuntu 16.04. Already restarted both Rider and my system.

I was getting the same issue (OS = Arch Linux). I'd also installed the dot net sdk and Rider from Snap. I had to:

  1. Remove Rider using snapd remove rider
  2. Install dotnet-sdk using sudo pacman -S dotnet-sdk
  3. Install mono using sudo pacman -S mono
  4. Download and install the Jetbrains Toolbox app and install Rider from there

In my case I found that my virtual machine did not have Mono installed. Killing and restarting the Rider process and selecting another project type prompted me to install mono using this URL: https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin-debian

With Mono installed I had to restart Rider once more before it would let me create an empty solution without hanging.

    It was the actual reason of the issue for me as well, and this is the actual fix that works for me, thanks. `sudo apt install mono-devel` that's all – Jonathan Gagne Apr 25 '19 at 03:01

I was able to bypass this problem by choosing ASP.NET Web Application instead of Empty Solution.
