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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

The package was flagged out-of-date by mistake, I guess. It is currently up to date.

Yeah. I'm changing up the automation so we can work on the PKGBUILDs manually and something went a little weird with the pkgrel handling. Fix incoming.

This package doesn't need the obsolete gconf

EDIT: Thanks for this.

I was able to force java8 by setting the JAVA_HOME variable. I suggest having this script for /usr/bin/minecraft-launcher and having minecraft-launcher.desktop have Exec=minecraft-launcher

#!/bin/sh
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/"
exec /opt/minecraft-launcher/minecraft-launcher "$@"

This would require java-runtime=8 or specifically jre8-openjdk

scallop commented on 2020-07-01 03:23 (UTC)

does this actually need gconf? if it does, that's okay, but a comment on that package says that chromium and electron havent depended on it for years, and its a bit annoying having to need it because it is also an aur pakage
