Sounds like a problem with the display interface from Java. I'm assuming you downloaded the minecraft.jar file? https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownl ... ecraft.jar

Check your Java version and your graphics card (needs to be openGL compatible and 3D capable, IIRC). Please run the following two commands and share the output here:

Code: Select all

java --version
inxi -SGxc 0

ok so i ran the 2 scripts under Super User and here is what i got

David-Satellite-A505 sanocon # java --version
Unrecognized option: --version
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

however, i did look at the app itself and the version was 1.6.0_26-b03


David-Satellite-A505 sanocon # inxi -SGxc 0
System: Host David-Satellite-A505 Kernel 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 (64 bit) Distro Linux Mint 11 Katya
Graphics: Card Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller X.org 1.10.1 Res: 80x22 Gfx Data: N/A for root

now i had minecraft when i used to have windows, so i know the computer itself can handle it.

There is some input on this being cause by nvidia drivers being installed in error for this graphics chip (here). Check with the following command which nvidia drivers are installed, there should only be a nvidia-common package:

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep nvidia

Please also run the following command and share the output. This will give us the full details of your graphics card(s).

Code: Select all

lspci | grep VGA | cut -d' ' -f1 | xargs sudo lspci -vv -s

[Sanocon]

ok so this is what i got, now i thnk i remeber that the video card wasn't an NVIDIA card.
but here is what i got from the 2 scripts

Code: Select all

David-Satellite-A505 sanocon # dpkg -l | grep nvidia

The nvidia-cg-toolkit package would get installed for the package ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager; which is used by some games as a 3D rendering engine (for example, for Funguloids in the default repository). So I'd just leave this be, these nvidia packages aren't the root cause of the problems I think.

I had a look at your graphics chip specs, and they are almost identical to mine (mine has some additional PCI power management features, the rest is exactly alike).

Please run the following command to check if hardware rendering is enabled:

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep render

It should output similar to:

direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Desktop GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT

If it doesn't, I'll just park this link here as it may hold a solution http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=243976.

[Sanocon]

shows direct rendering is positive.

sanocon@David-Satellite-A505 ~ $ glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT

Well, I'm fresh out of ideas then

[Sanocon]

hmm. is there something i can run in the terminal that will make the terminal record the process of an app script by script?

[xenopeek]

Well, you have strace, that dumps the system calls and signals of a process you start. That might be a bit heavy on the output for your purposes.

For some people this is what works.

Install Latest JAVA from ubuntu.

Then,download minecraft from here..
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutor ... date_LWJGL

In the lwjgl-X.X.X.zip , there should be two folders, jar and natives. For every file that you have in your .minecraft/bin and .minecraft/bin/natives that exists in that archive, replace with the newer LWJGL version.
For example, in linux you would replace the following files (the process would be similar with Windows and Mac users):
In .minecraft/bin/
jinput.jar
lwjgl.jar
lwjgl_util.jar
In .minecraft/bin/natives/
libjinput-linux.so
libjinput-linux64.so
liblwjgl.so
liblwjgl64.so
libopenal.so
libopenal64.so
The .minecraft folder's location varies by operating system.
Linux: ~/.minecraft (Go to home folder and press Control + H)
