Have you tried the workaround in MCL-12215? Run the launcher like this:
GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./minecraft-launcher
Same issue on Fedora 30 running Gnome/Wayland, the workaround works great, thank you.
This is duplicated by MCL-12215
The workaround `GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./minecraft-launcher` works like a charm.
Just to verify, this only happens when running Gnome on Wayland, Gnome on Xorg works fine.
Hold up y'all, I've got news.
I logged out and logged back in selecting "Gnome on Xorg" instead of "Gnome" and the launcher started right up! This is not a permanent fix, and I don't know enough about this sort of thing to provide any more insight.
Hi, thank you for the help. This seems to be the same problem as MCL-12342. I downloaded the new version and verified that it is in fact different (both the files have different checksums, it would help to have a version number appended to the filename, or in a README, or VERSION.txt etc...), but I am getting the same output from the updated version, here's my program output and logs: https://pastebin.com/g6NrvdLE
I'm taking note of these two lines:
[Info: 2019-10-19 03:29:07.976119631: root_window_manager.cpp(64)] Main window has been opened: 0x1e97300
[Info: 2019-10-19 03:29:07.981031844: root_window_gtk.cpp(390)] RootWindowGtk::OnBrowserCreated
I am able to see "Minecraft Launcher" in the alt-tab/window switcher menu, but not the window itself.
I'm having the same issue. I downloaded the undocumented tarball for "Other Linux" from <https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/alternative/> because the link from the official minecraft.net navbar <https://my.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft/> did not load.
I extracted the minecraft-launcher folder to /opt, and ran it with ./minecraft-launcher but it quit without any console output. It makes this log in ~/.minecraft/launcher_log.txt:

EDIT:
The above error was caused by a separate instance of the launcher running. (It quits without error when there is more than one instance running)
Now when I run the launcher, it brings my browser window in to focus for some reason, and then outputs these messages:
[1017/181929.598700:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(346)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.

Here is a pastebin with the contents of ~/minecraft-launcher/launcher_log.txt:
The new version works fine on Wayland without any workaround.
