Applications're loading but not running ! [incomplete]

[imail7]

HI guys,
Sometimes I try to run some applications, They usually run as well but other times they don't !
For Example when I click on ' Software manager ' icon, it will be loading ,but after loading nothing happens !

I've took a look at

Code: Select all

ps -A

I think there is no about its process.
What should I do exactly when it happens ?

Thanks everybody

Hello imail7 and Welcome to Linux Mint Forums,

Best thing to do when a program will not launch in the menu is to try launching it from the terminal and see if it spits out any error messages.

For instance if your trying to launch software manager go to the terminal and type

Code: Select all

mintinstall

and see if it launches from there. If it does then something has gone wrong in the menu. If it will not it should give you an error which may reveal where to look.
Good luck.

Thank you so much for answering,
I've tried the following command in the terminal,

Code: Select all

minsinstall

and I got these reactions

I should tell it, that I just tried to run Skaiacraft-Minecraft launcher, to do this it needs openjdk-8-jdk or openjdk-9-jdk packages and I installed it through the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install openjdk-9-jdk

It was installed as well but I couldn't launch Skaiacraft and It created an error log file where Skaiacraft is.
So I used this command

Code: Select all

sudo apt autoremove openjdk-9-jdk

and it was removed as well.
(It's still where I want to launch with Right-click, Open with tab, and OpenJDK Java 9 Runtime) !!!!!

For this error, Should I install openjdk-9-jdk again or what else ?

I've already installed this package again, but I think There are some errors that there were not before it !

what's happening ?!

I got mine craft to work by downloading the launcher directly from mine craft, I am using openjdk 11-jre, some have this working using version 8.

Hi,
Actually minecraft is not my problem right now.
Software manager isn't working and it throws errors in the terminal.
I can't find any ways to solve it 'cause I am NEW.
Even though i've installed openjdk-9-jdk before removing it, It does NOT install now and throws above errors.(previous replay)
Thanks anyway

[imail7]

Isn't anyone to tell me what i gotta do ?
