Another problem for me. Actually I was trying to run Minecraft on my
SLED 11. I installed it using Wine (.exe file), it all went good. The
problem is, I can’t start it. It says that I need JRE 1.5.0. Well I’ve
checked that I have JRE 1.6, so my only guess the problem is with java
itself. Though not sure what should I do.

Have not tried running it on Linux… but why use Wine? For one, Wine
will run Windows binaries and not look at (or use) any Linux packages
you have installed.
Minecraft has a jar file for Linux systems that you should be able to
run without Wine.

OK, that seems fair enough. I’ll try that. Thanks[/color]
I managed to start Minecraft, but something’s wrong with graphics.
Couldn’t see a menu or something. I believe, something’s wrong with my
java, because when I go to minecraft.net to play single-player classic
version I just get white screen. Any ideas how to fix this?
Did you see/try magic31’s suggestion of just running it under Linux
natively? If it’s truly Java-based there should be no need for wine.
Good luck.
Want to yell at me in person?

Well, I managed to start it somehow, but as I’ve said, something’s
wrong with graphics. I can only see a black screen when loading map.
Probably something with java, though no idea what.

I get black (or sometimes white) screen when I start the map, also,
there are some files, like hs_err_pid625.log, appearing in my user
directory. I figured that these are java errors. I would really
appreciate any help on how to fix my java.

Updated Java to the last version, still the same. I’m getting nothing
more than white screen on the browser and the black screen offline.
Can’t figure it out.

Hi
Did you install the original application in your home directory, or
systemwide. Normally it’s easy to identify issues if you create a test
user and try it out there. If the same issue then it’s systemwide
rather than just the user.

Minecraft is in my home directory I guess, but the problem is probably
system-wide, and that is because I have the same problem (white or black
screen) while trying to play classic version in browser (mozilla).
As I asked before, did you try magic31’s solution of NOT using wine?
java -jar /path/to/your/minecraft.jar
Good luck.

Oh, sorry, forgot to mention. No, I’m not using Wine with Minecraft
anymore. All the problems I’ve mentioned happened while I was trying to
play minecraft exactly how you just told me to. Yet it doesn’t work this
way and also in browser (I’d like to play at least in browser, maybe
it’s easier to fix).

Actually, I would like to try to reinstall my java, but the problems
are:
I have the latest java installed manually somewhere (not having
deleted the original 1 that came up with SLED) and I wouldn’t know how
to delete it if needed
I’m not sure if it’s ok to delete the original 1 that came up with
SLED
I’d like to know if there are any repositories of java, so that the
new java (if I’m going to install any) would be installed in the right
place
Also, if someone could pass me the code which would show me what
graphics drivers I have, that would be helpful.
