I will check that version of the launcher when I get home, but I am optimistic given the others success getting it working! Thank you for helping to fix this issue! I appreciate it.
That appears to be graphics corruption that occurs when your GPU stops working correctly when either the hardware is dying or the driver is corrupted.
I can run curl correctly and download the file (When I pipe it to version_manifest.json via ">". Otherwise it just prints to stdout). I made sure it was in the .minecraft directory but the error persisted.
What is the wireshare capture after you changed the password and logged in again?
I updated my _launcherlog.txt file that shows the error.
Lostic I tried that but on Linux even with a fresh install with no added accounts and no launcher_profiles.json file it still refuses to log in with the console reading still "SaveToBuffer failed"
Alan I am not entirely sure how your post relates to this issue specifically, could you explain what you mean about the Edit Installation dialog box? Is that an option in the Launcher on Linux?
I added the launcher log, mine is the one with the underscore before the other text.
I was unable to upload it unless I changed the name.
I can verify that the "libcurl-fixed" version is also working for me! Will this fix be implemented into the regular launcher deb file in new releases?
Nonetheless, thank you Petr Mrázek for helping to fix the issue!
