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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

@J0k3r: Doesn't work for me. AFAIK, that swing+gtk no longer works as of java7. :/

CheapTransfers commented on 2013-07-19 01:38 (UTC)

if you want the new launcher to use the swing gtk l&f, insert '-Dswing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel' in your start script. You can also insert '-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true' for anti-aliased fonts.

Is there any particular reason to pipe all output to /dev/null?

tmoore commented on 2013-07-14 00:56 (UTC)

If you want to get around this for now, just edit the PKGBUILD file and replace the second md5sum you see with 85273e24404cc6865805f951487b8a1e

Upstream checksum has changed.

BombStrike commented on 2013-07-11 15:23 (UTC)

I will though make a release 20 to address the changes highlighted by hobarrera and heftig

BombStrike commented on 2013-07-11 15:22 (UTC)

New launcher is included in version 19, please remove archlinuxfr from your repos as they have decided to provide dozens of outdated packages from AUR or explicitly install aur/minecraft and you should be able to install it.

Since version 1.6.1 it requires a new Launcher, this package is now obsolete

whynothugo commented on 2013-07-11 05:06 (UTC)

The license for this package isn't installed where it should be (/usr/share/licenses/minecraft/).

whynothugo commented on 2013-07-11 05:05 (UTC)

Please remove " || return 1". This hasn't been needed for ages; makepkg bails if anything goes wrong now.
