I have Minecraft installed but whenever I open it, it shows the login screen, so I login, and then when I click login, the window turns black. When I tried to play in in browser, the same thing happened except the window turned whit. Please help guys! I feel like I've tried EVERYTHING! Thanks! =)

Oh and if you want a better look at the problem, I've created this video that is a recording of my desktop and shows what happens when I try to run Minecraft.

Remove all your Java packages and start over.

  1. Install openjdk-6-jre
  2. Remove the hidden folder ~/.minecraft (folder .minecraft, located in your Home folder)
  3. Download the minecraft.jar from http://www.minecraft.net/download

  4. Create ~/.local/share/applications/minecraft.desktop containing (assuming that you have downloaded the file in ~/Downloads):

    #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Minecraft
Comment=Start Minecraft
Exec=/usr/bin/java -cp ~/Downloads/minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=minecraft.png
Categories=Games;
StartupNotify=false
  5. Find a nice icon on the Internet for Minecraft and save it as ~/.local/share/icons/minecraft.png
  6. To start Minecraft, run desktop file that you've created. You can copy it to your desktop as well.

Installing the proprietary Drivers might help.

Go to the dash, search for Jockey, and install the Driver for your Graphics Card .
