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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

The "orca: command not found" line is probably not related to any of the issues, but I've just added orca as an optional dependency.

@cbjake your hint regarding the Preferences file made me dig deeper. For me it helped removing just the plasma integration extension:

# yq from go-yq package
yq eval -i -o json --prettyPrint 'del(.extensions.settings.cimiefiiaegbelhefglklhhakcgmhkai)' ~/.minecraft/webcache2/Default/Preferences

Does that help anyone else? The extension is automatically added again, so this has to be done everytime.

Got the 'Whoops an unexpected error occurred', followed what wheat32 suggested and could get it to launch 1 time. Next launch same error. Did a bit more digging and found I only needed to delete $HOME/.minecraft/webcache2/Default/Preferences each time rather than the whole webcache2 folder.

EDIT #2: Nope. Not fixed... Closed the game and relaunched and now i'm getting: [*@archlinux ~]$ minecraft-launcher sh: line 1: orca: command not found Created browser window for reuse: 0x2c00004 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_function_call' what(): bad_function_call

EDIT: Fixed after completely deleting all traces of minecraft-launcher and reinstalling.

Broken for me. When I launch minecraft-launcher it just opens up a window for chromium.

Here's the log: [*@archlinux ~]$ minecraft-launcher Opening in existing browser session. sh: line 1: orca: command not found

I did a clean install twice and keep getting the same issue.

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.
