Linux Minecraft installation
Hey there, struggling with Minecraft on Ubuntu 14.10? You've already downloaded the Java, installed the drivers, and edited permissions—still stuck on the installer. When you double-click the .jar file, it opens the archive manager instead of the game. It seems like you need to navigate through menus and check boxes, which is frustrating after an hour of searching. Need some guidance to get this sorted out?
You didn’t specify whether it was allowed to run as an executable. I couldn’t access the link properly.
I reviewed the permissions and verified the "allow file to run as program" option.
You recently installed OpenJDK Java version 7 about two hours ago.
I just went through the Lynda article. It will provide more information on getting it to function. This should be fine.
I discovered issues with my Java setup not identifying .jar files. I’m planning to try downloading another version to test it.
