Minecraft launcher crashed in Debian

I installed minecraft with the normal snap install via the terminal.
It installs, and when I log in it downloads the latest files, but when finished I get an error message.
No idea what to do.
This is my error message:

---- Minecraft Crash Report ----
// Quite honestly, I wouldn’t worry myself about that.

Is the launcher snap connected to the opengl interface?

No idea, I installed minecraft via snap, and clicked open in Applications/Games and the launcher is called Minecraft Launcher. All other 3d graphics are working on my machine, blender, houdini, substancepainter, so I’m not sure there is a driver issue? How can I connect OpenGL to the Minecraft launcher? :slight_smile:

Refer the following article for information regarding snapd’s security confinement and interfaces:

This shouldn’t be the cause though as the opengl interface is an auto-connect interface, and should be connected by default upon install.

Ok, so basically its just broken. I’ll try and reinstall and see if it works, thanks anyways! :slight_smile:

reinstall will most likely just get you the same result if you do not research the actual cause …

snap interfaces minecraft

should show you if all interfaces are connected correctly … if not, use the snap connect command to connect them.

Ok nice! This is what I have on the OpenGL row:
:opengl cncra,mailspring,minecraft

So I guess its connected right? Could it be something else?

Yes, as expected. So the cause would be something else

indeed, it is likely not the interface then. watch syslog or journalctl while you start the app and look for any errors.

Also what graphics card do you use and do you use a distro provided driver or anything you installed from a third party location (amdgpu upstream drivers come to mind here, they seem to install in /opt which snapd does not take into account at all currently)
