Affects Version/s: 2.0.1005-dev-linux
.
The bug
On the Linux beta launcher, when launching the game, the working directory isn't set to the game directory like the macOS/Windows launchers do. Instead, it is kept as /opt/minecraft-launcher
. This causes the game to try to save logs in /opt/minecraft-launcher/logs
(because logs are always saved in the current directory instead of the game directory), usually causing a permission denied error.
How to reproduce
Enable Open output log when the game starts in the Settings tab on the launcher.
Run the game.
Notice that no logs are saved in
~/.minecraft/logs
. In the output log window, you can see that the game tries to save them inlogs
(in the working directory), which results in aPermission denied
error.Manually create the
/opt/minecraft-launcher/logs
directory andchown
it to your user.Start the game again.
Notice that the logs are being written to that directory.
