Probably msbuild was not able to load created project... Today I have received this issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-23181 – xtmq Dec 29 '18 at 22:01

You can check log files: Help -> Show logs in... -> backend.log – xtmq Dec 29 '18 at 22:02

Look for 'MsBuild' keyword =) – xtmq Dec 29 '18 at 22:02

Where can I find the logs? - OK I think I know. – codeepic Dec 29 '18 at 22:12

There is no entry "MsBuild" in syslog. And there is no backend.log in /var/log directory. – codeepic Dec 29 '18 at 22:18

The issue, you refer to - I don't see any solution in there. – codeepic Dec 29 '18 at 22:27

I was getting the same issue (OS = Arch Linux). I'd also installed the dot net sdk and Rider from Snap. I had to:
- Remove Rider using
snapd remove rider
- Install dotnet-sdk using
sudo pacman -S dotnet-sdk
- Install mono using
sudo pacman -S mono
- 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.

2It 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
.
