    Minecraft

    So I attempted to play Minecraft moments ago, ans it started to load it, then it just black screened. And in the bottom corner it states applet running, but all I see is black. Anyone have any ideas?

    Re: Minecraft

    Try updating your java vm or reinstalling it
    I played it by coincidence yesterday and everything worked as it should, so it isn't a general linux problem but one with your config.

    If reinstalling the java vm doesn't help, try removing it and installing it from java.com. I dimly remember something being wrong with the VM in the repositories (but that could've been an issue with flash, not java, my memorie's not the best.. still, worth a try)

    Re: Minecraft

    No luck there, I tried that last night. I also tried clearing the cache since it stated that might help, but that also was no dice.

    Any other ideas?
    I think there might be an update for java available but I don't see that being the problem.

    Re: Minecraft

    have you tried it in another browser?
    Or tried out some of the multiplayer servers? (you need an account for that, but it's free and you don't even have to give it a valid email address)

    EDIT: I heard about another client which seems to be better anyway:
    http://www.worldofminecraft.com/Downloads (custom client)
    maybe that one works?

    EDIT: I attached the script for linux to get that client to start
    if you have a problem with the menu coming up everytime you click, see here: http://www.worldofminecraft.com/StayFocus
    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    
    JAVA=`which java`
    
    DIR=`echo $0 | sed -E 's/\/[^\/]+$/\//'`
    if [ "X$0" != "X$DIR" ]; then
    	cd $DIR
    fi
    
    RUN=true
    while [ $RUN == "true" ]; do
    	$JAVA -classpath skin:lib/jinput.jar:lib/lwjgl.jar:lib/lwjgl_util.jar:lib/wom.jar:lib/minecraft.jar -Djava.library.path=native/linux -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Dsun.java2d.opengl=false -Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false -Xmx800M Main
    	if [ $? -ne 10 ]; then RUN=false; fi
    done

    Re: Minecraft

    The script you gave me, I need to replace "which java" with the version I'm running correct? If so, how can I tell what to put there.

    Re: Minecraft

    the command "which java" should actually get the path of your java executable. just try it, open a terminal and type it in and see what it gets you - I get "/usr/bin/java"
    In other words, nah, you don't need to edit anything. Just but the code in a file in the same place where the two other scripts (for windows/osx) are, make it executable (chmod +x) and run it.

    you could probably just erase the line and replace "$JAVA" below with "java", but I just edited the script for os x so that stuff is still in it

    You can get the version of your java by using "java -version", but you don't need that here

    Re: Minecraft

    This might not be a Java issue as I experienced something similar, before loading into a save, go into the options menu and change the graphics settings from "fancy" to "fast", may solve the problem.

    Re: Minecraft

    I had the same issue as you described and the way I fixed it is by making sure I didn't have any other javas running ie Icedtea cause as soon as I uninstalled that Minecraft started to work for me.

    Re: Minecraft

    I have tried everything to get this game to work.
    The script that was posted here did not seam to work:
    Code:
    sed: invalid option -- 'E'
    Usage: sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...
    
      -n, --quiet, --silent
                     suppress automatic printing of pattern space
      -e script, --expression=script
                     add the script to the commands to be executed
      -f script-file, --file=script-file
                     add the contents of script-file to the commands to be executed
      -i[SUFFIX], --in-place[=SUFFIX]
                     edit files in place (makes backup if extension supplied)
      -l N, --line-length=N
                     specify the desired line-wrap length for the `l' command
      --posix
                     disable all GNU extensions.
      -r, --regexp-extended
                     use extended regular expressions in the script.
      -s, --separate
                     consider files as separate rather than as a single continuous
                     long stream.
      -u, --unbuffered
                     load minimal amounts of data from the input files and flush
                     the output buffers more often
          --help     display this help and exit
          --version  output version information and exit
    
    If no -e, --expression, -f, or --file option is given, then the first
    non-option argument is taken as the sed script to interpret.  All
    remaining arguments are names of input files; if no input files are
    specified, then the standard input is read.
    
    E-mail bug reports to: bonzini@gnu.org .
    Be sure to include the word ``sed'' somewhere in the ``Subject:'' field.

    Could not find the main class: Main. Program will exit.
    But thanks for trying anyway.
    The problem with mine is after I press "play offline" it shows the loading screen and the bar is full, but then the screen just goes black and nothing happens.

    You're actually missing some needed library files (Mainly from the Java Monkey Engine). It took me HOURS and HOURS to find out how to get Minecraft to run on Ubuntu Linux.

    Posted a great article on how i did it on my blog - http://timashley.me/node/596

    Enjoy!
