I'm trying to run a local backtest.
I have succesfully cloned, built and run LEAN "Launcher" on linux.
1. First problem is with universe selection. When I stop with a breakpoint in MyCoarseFilterFunction, IEnumerable<CoarseFundamental> coarseFundamentals is empty. Same code pasted on quantconnect.com runs great and produces result in debug so the code is correct (see below).
2. Skylight does not work on my linux mint xfce. When I run from a terminal, all I get is:
"
2020-10-21T19:33:52.786Z TRACE:: Main(): Starting Skylight v0.1.11 (production)
(electron) The default value of app.allowRendererProcessReuse is deprecated, it is currently "false". It will change to be "true" in Electron 9. For more information please check https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/18397
Checking for update
"
after which prompt returns. "ps aux | grep sky" and "ps aux | grep quant" does not return anything.

Hi Quanter,
(1) Fundamental data is only available for free when backtesting on our web platform. To backtest with fundamental data locally, you'll need a MorningStar subscription.
(2) We have been experiencing issues with running on Linux Mint. Send support@quantconnect.com the logs from your system found at: ~/.config/{app name}/logs/
Best,
Derek Melchin
