Minecraft Ubuntu Black Screen

[LukeYAYAY]

I have followed loads of tutorials, the launcher of Minecraft opens, but once i have logged in it presents me with a black screen. Does anyone have any ideas why this could be?

I get these errors:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.minecraft.LauncherFrame

Try this first:

!!-BLACK SCREEN FIX-!!
1) Download Maverik Java Monkey Engine libraries
32bit: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lwjgl/liblwjgl-java-jni...
64bit: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lwjgl/liblwjgl-java-jni...
2) Extract the Debian package
32bit: dpkg -x liblwjgl-java-jni_2.4.2+dfsg-3_i386.deb /tmp/lwjgl
64bit: dpkg -x liblwjgl-java-jni_2.4.2+dfsg-3_amd64.deb /tmp/lwjgl
3) Move liblwjgl.so to Minecraft folder
# mv /tmp/lwjgl/usr/lib/jni/liblwjgl.so ~/.minecraft/bin/natives
4) Download Java Monkey Engine binary package
http://code.google.com/p/jmonkeyengi...n.zip&can=2&q=
5) Extract Java Monkey Engine binary pacakge and change to its folder
# unzip jME2_0_1-StableDistribution.zip && cd jME2_0_1-StableDistribution/jME2_0_1-StableDistribution/
6) Replace jar files in the Minecraft folder
# mv lib/lwjgl/jinput.jar ~/.minecraft/bin/
# mv lib/lwjgl/lwjgl.jar ~/.minecraft/bin/
# mv lib/lwjgl/lwjgl_util.jar ~/.minecraft/bin/
7) Copy library files to the Minecraft folder
# mv lib/lwjgl/native/linux/lib*.* ~/.minecraft/bin/natives
8) Launch minecraft
# java -jar .minecraft/minecraft_name.jar
Pick a nickname (for LAN Server games), Login with blank credentials and select "Play offline"

Then, are you using Java from Oracle? or OpenJDK? I would recommend Java from Oracle. How to (JRE v6, yes you can install version 7 but some people report it works best with v6 still.

1) Add the Canonical Partner Repository (For Ubuntu\Mint users) and Update

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ percise partner" && sudo apt-get update

2) Install Java6 Runtime Environment

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

I used the command you put at the bottom to first install java, or something similar to that.

Sorry, this is my first time using Ubuntu, ever.
And i have no idea what im really doing

Upon typing
dpkg -x liblwjgl-java-jni_2.4.2+dfsg-3_i386.deb /tmp/lwjgl

I get

error: failed to read archive `liblwjgl-java-jni_2.4.2+dfsg-3_i386.deb': No such file or directory

When i launch Minecraft from the terminal, i get these errors when i get the black screen:
