    You'll need to make sure you are running it in terminal, else it will do nothing!

    again, it may just be that you aren't running it in terminal, if you just have it run by itself it won't do anything because it requires user input. If you run it from terminal you should see the main menu pop up!

    Re: Minecraft Installer

    Is there a way to get it to work with unity properly at all?

    Having a link there in unity and clicking it just makes the icon flash and then it does nothing.

    Is it possible to get it to work correctly with KDE menu's as well as the desktop icon?

    UPDATE!
    - The script allows you to download and install (or uninstall) the minecraft server client.
    - I made a nice little icon for the server launchers.
    << server icon

    It should work with unity? heres a video of it doing so, you're problem concerns me though.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odo6QbdCfeU

    It should not create a launcher in the unity quick bar on installation, only on the desktop and in unitys menu system, the launchers that it creates executes this command
    Code:
    java -jar /home/username/.minecraft/minecraft.jar
    which is the same command that is executed when you type
    Code:
    :~$minecraft
    into terminal. Try running it from terminal just by typing minecraft and see what the output is, this'll help identify you're problem

    Also,
    Making the script work with all distros and desktops is next on my to-do list! but right now it's pretty much made for vanilla ubuntu.
    The reason it doesn't work well on other desktops and distros:
    its assumes apt-get (for java installation)
    it assumes compliance with the xdg desktop specifications

    However, if you run the script on say... fedora with KDE:
    it won't be able to install java for you (fedora uses yum) nor will it create menu launchers for you, BUT, it should still download minecraft and write a shell script in your usr/local/bin directory.

    So, regardless of what distro you use, you should at least still be able to run it with just a "minecraft" command from terminal!

    Re: Minecraft Installer

    I switched recently to Kubuntu so it would be nice to get proper icons for it, that is my main request

    Nope. I tried running it by selecting "Open with" and then selecting LXTerminal. Didn't work, nothing runs.

    So I use this.

    Code:
    :~$ cd /path/to/downloaded/file/
    :~$ chmod -x Minecraft_Installer_20.sh
    :~$ bash Minecraft_Installer_20.sh
    And it gets me going, but I encounter errors.
    But it looks like I'm going to have to go through and edit your code since yours is written for Ubuntu running Gnome, & I'm running Ubuntu with LXDE. While Linux Mint 10 LXDE is based off of Ubuntu, there is some quirks as you can see below.

    The only thing that works is that it creates the .minecraft folder and that it checks for JAVA. Other than that, downloading the .jar from Minecraft etc doesn't work.

    Code:
    1
    .minecraft folder exists
