I seem to be having a different issue than what others are describing. Suddenly today, I an unable to start the launcher without getting a generic "An unexpected issue occurred" message. Here's what I get in the terminal:

$ minecraft-launcher
sh: line 1: orca: command not found
Created browser window for reuse: 0x1600004
[34399:34552:0308/133050.212343:ERROR:mime_util_xdg.cc(137)] Invalid mime.cache file does not contain null prior to ALIAS_LIST_OFFSET=44
[34399:34552:0308/133055.416488:ERROR:cast_crl.cc(443)] CRL - Verification failed.

Edit: I found that deleting the webcache2 directory in the .minecraft directory fixes the issue for me.

The package version is the version of the launcher bootstrap - the part that actually downloads and updates the launcher.

That means the version number of the actual launcher (2.x.xxx) is different from the version here (9xx+) on a fundamental level, and should not be compared.

The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

That was it! I was getting the 'Whoops an unexpected error occurred', and it got fixed once I renamed the folder at: $HOME/.minecraft/webcache2

+1 for what @wheat32 said.

I was also having this issue which was resolved by deleting that folder.

I'm also having trouble starting the Launcher with the Error Message 'Whoops an unexpected error ocurred'

Terminal Output: Created browser window for reuse: 0x1200004 [6621:6621:0307/173256.517111:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] Gdk: _gdk_frame_clock_freeze: assertion 'GDK_IS_FRAME_CLOCK (clock)' failed

I'm also getting the 'Whoops an unexpected error ocurred'. This error displays on a laptop that has been running Minecraft successfully for the last 4 years. I'm clueless on how to fix it.

@TheCycoONE seems related to graphics drivers

This seems to have stopped working for me. In the terminal window I see:

Created browser window for reuse: 0x1200004 [2345:2345:0305/185153.672991:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] Gdk: _gdk_frame_clock_freeze: assertion 'GDK_IS_FRAME_CLOCK (clock)' failed [2403:2403:0305/185156.340252:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times!

In the window I see Whoops an unexpected error occurred.

I could not for the life of me get this to use my nvidia card on a laptop with mux integrated intel/nvidia combo.

end up wrapping the minecraft-launcher so i can keep using the application shortcuts.

export __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
export __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia

exec /usr/bin/minecraft-launcher "$@"

and thats working now. i gave up playing with java args in the launch client
