As of the most recent update to the Minecraft Launcher, it is unable to run. Attempting to run the launcher normally simply returns nothing, while attempting to run it through the terminal returns:
MessageBox(Minecraft Launcher): Couldn't load launcher core from /home/[USERNAME]/.minecraft/launcher/liblauncher.so: LoadErrorNotPresent
The last time I was able to successfully load the Minecraft Launcher on the 23rd of August 2022 at around 2:00pm UTC+1
The first time I encountered this error was immediately after the launcher automatically updated. This occurred on the 23rd of August 2022 at around 9:00pm UTC+1
Attempted solutions tried already:
Uninstalling and reinstalling the Minecraft Launcher and attempting to run (Same error)
Deleting the .version file and liblauncher.so file within the Launcher folder inside of .minecraft and attempting to run (Same error)
Deleting the Launcher folder inside of .minecraft and attempting to run (Same error)
Deleting .minecraft entirely and attempting to run (Same error)
Deleting .minecraft entirely and uninstalling and reinstalling the Minecraft Launcher, then attempting to run (Same error)
Attempting to install a "later version" as available through the software channel (Opens launcher, but unable to sign in as the launcher believes I am offline. Also prompted to update the launcher, which just leads back to the installation options on Minecraft.net)
