|
|
Hi,
I am trying to run Minecraft without success.
I have done bellow from this website:
http://minecraft.net/download
Quote: | Minecraft for Linux / Other
Download Minecraft.jar (86 KB). The jar is executable and should work as-is, also please use Oracle's JVM.
|
and I have this:
Code: | $ ./Minecraft.jar
./Minecraft.jar: line 1: $'PK\003\004': command not found
./Minecraft.jar: line 2: $'\b\b\222t\354B\002': command not found
./Minecraft.jar: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
K-*��ϳR0�3���M���u�I,.�R�K-����KM.JL+�K��/).)J,�s��x�x�PK'K-.�
|
Code: | # eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
[1] icedtea-bin-7
[2] oracle-jre-bin-1.7 system-vm |

You should probably play another game. Proprietary software is bad, especially on a Gentoo distro.
Maybe you could try Minetest, it's an open-source clone of Minecraft. |

You're trying to execute a jar file. Have you remembered to set up binfmt_misc to handle it appropriately? |

Thanks!
I love free software and I had no idea about Minetest, I will try now as my Minecraft crashes all the time (intel driver), and I cannot try to use it with bumblebed and nvidia drivers, as there are again problems with nvidia and kernel 3.11.0.
Which one is the proper game?

I solved the problem with Minecraft just by not touching anything in CONTROLS settings (for keyboard) - so I have any crashes now and system works pretty well on my 64 bit Gentoo with Nvidia Optimus just by run:
Quote: | $ optirun java -jar Minecraft.jar |

You can increse framerate on laptops with Nvidia Optimus just by using primus instead of optirum (from bumblebee). With max details and far view, I had 40 fps with optirun and 65fps with primus.
Usage:
Code: | $ primusrun java -jar Minecraft.jar
|
