OK, just found that if you create the following folder, it launchs perfectly:
mkdir -p /home/USER/.minecraft/launcher/minecraft-launcher
Weirdly enough, after the launcher runs, the folder disappears.
Also, for some reason in the versions to run of minecraft, there's the latest snapshot, while I think it wasn't before.
Hi,
I'm also having the same issue. I've tried with openjdk-8 and openjdk-11. My specs:
CPU: i7-7700k
RAM: 16GB
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080
Desktop: Gnome 3.36.4
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.02 LTS
I've updated the launcher today and since then I'm unable to open the official launcher. Other launchers like GDLauncher work perfectly. If I try to start the launcher from the terminal, the result code is 1.
Here's a strace log while trying to run the launcher (strace minecraft-launcher)
Hi @peterix,
It works perfectly! I've removed the package and the
~/.minecraft
directory, then installed again and it launched without any issue.BR
