Second try: same machine, OS: Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia, JRE: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9.0.4+11).
I start the launcher with this command: java -jar ./Minecraft.jar >minecraft_bugreport_20180125_first_round.log
The launcher doesn't start:
OK, try with --sync option: java -jar ./Minecraft.jar --sync >minecraft_bugreport_20180125_second_round.log
The launcher starts, I am able to login successfully, but when I click to the Play button, the launcher disappears:
[media]
Aron: no.
As I have already explained above:
the launcher starts successfully (I start from Linux command line with the java -jar ./Minecraft.jar >minecraft_bugreport_20180116.log command - this command creates the bugreport, that I attached above)
I could successfully login
but when I click to the "Play" button, the launcher disappears
and the launcher doesn't create logfile in the .minecraft directory (I attached the list of the .minecraft directory)
The launcher doesn't create log in the .minecraft directory.
I attach the lists of the directory (in the .minecraft directory: ls - laR ./ ).
This is still issue with Java 9.0.4:
[media]but works with Java 8.0_171:
