[MCL-79] Minecraft launcher crashes after login

I start the Minecraft launcher with:
fredrik@fam-elghs-dator:~/Hämtningar$ java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
asdf

The following crashlog is output to the konsole just after login:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.minecraft.client.MinecraftApplet
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at net.minecraft.GameUpdater.createApplet(GameUpdater.java:373)
at net.minecraft.Launcher$1.run(Launcher.java:79)

Can you please help me out?

Best regards,

Fredrik Elgh

Hi,

perhaps I was not clear enough about this bug. After the printout the minecraft launcher program crashes and the game cannot be played. I think you should raise the severity of this bug and recommend a working solution. So far I have not seen any work-around. In 1.5 version I could re-install lwjgl and it worked again but now it just crashes. Please solve asap.
Best regards Fredrik Elgh

Hi,

OK so a crash is not a bug?? I will try using the forum you pointed out, thanks.

Force update Minecraft and try running the launcher by double-clicking on it. See if the crash persists.

Hi FireHunterX,

I have done the Forced update so many times now and it does not work (since 1.5.1 was released). Since I run Minecraft in Linux (Kubuntu 10.04 LTS) I launch the linux version of minecraft.jar (I download this separately, 80kB large file) from a konsole terminal window. So there is no double-clicking involved here. The minecraft.jar (5 Mbyte large file) that is downloaded with Forced update have never worked to launch minecraft.

This crash is persistent.

Did you try double-clicking the jar? (Make sure you open it in your Kubuntu java thing, probably OpenJDK, not your KDE archive manager thing)

Tails, this isn't a duplicate of the other issue. What is happening is that you are stuck without a minecraft, maybe try changing the appdata directory so that it completely downloads.
On windows, you can do this with

set appdata=%appdata%\nowhereinparticular

Although you can chose whatever directory.

Also, when you launch, does it say done loading with a incomplete progress bar?

Ooh, this is the game being broken with 1.6.
Update your graphics card drivers.
Worst case, stick with 1.5.
