I installed Ubuntu on my computer today, and when playing Minecraft it has been really laggy, so my friend suggested that I update my graphics drivers. I did. Now, when I'm about to join a server, Minecraft closes instantly with no error message.
Other Info:
OS: Ubuntu 10.10 x86
RAM: 4GB
Graphics Card: ATi Radeon HD 4650
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.5GHz
Java Version (java -version):
[email protected]:~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.2) (6b20-1.9.2-0ubuntu2)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)
Could you please run minecraft in a terminal for debug output? Open gnome-terminal, and type 'java -jar minecraft.jar' assuming minecraft.jar is in your home folder. If it's not navigate to the correct directory with 'cd'
And may I ask how you updated your video drivers? Ubuntu should have supplied you with the latest opensource drivers, and if there are proprietary drivers available it notifies you of this. It does not work the same as on Windows where you can have to download it from the vendor's website and install it.
Unless your friend is a linux guru I suggest you stop listening to what he says before you break anything.
My friend told me to update Java, and now it won't run at all. This is the output in Terminal (as of now with java updated):
[email protected]:~/Desktop$ java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp /home/burns/Games/Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
Exception in thread "main" java.awt.HeadlessException

at net.minecraft.LauncherFrame.<init>(LauncherFrame.java:17)
at net.minecraft.LauncherFrame.main(LauncherFrame.java:137)
I updated my drivers by downloading them from AMD's website.

I updated my drivers by downloading them from AMD's website.
1) Updating your drivers from the AMD website was foolish. This lacks any compatibility with Ubuntu 10.10's version of Xorg, uDev and internal filesystem. Only experts should touch that.
2) Your java virtual machine (OpenJDK) was already up to date. Unless by updating you meant switching to Sun/Oracle's java which performs *worse* in this case.
3) Could you please run the minecraft launcher jar with the 'java -jar <file>' command?
Could you install the proprietary 'fglrx' package via the Proprietary Driver management or Synaptic?
Also, that is not updating, that is plain reinstalling. You also installed the headless revision, which has no graphical output whatsoever. Could you fetch openjdk-6-jre instead? You do not have to use the command-line to install packages, you can just use synaptic in superuser mode if you prefer to do it the graphical way.
Now Minecraft closes as soon as I log in, and I've lost my visual effects and monitor settings.
Edit:
Terminal shows this on crash:

Did you log in and out (or reboot) after installing the fglrx modules?
EDIT AFTER LOGS: Yes, an error in libGL.so sounds like a messed up video module. Did you properly install fglrx, and log out/reboot (anything that'll kill X)?
Did you log in and out (or reboot) after installing the fglrx modules?
Yes, it said I had to restart my computer to prevent data loss and system instability.
Off Topic, what's up with posting on this forum? When I click "submit", half the time it doesn't make the post, it redirects me to the thread without any message. I usually have to wait a minute before replying.
If your screen is still f-ed up you can try and use the Catalyst Control Center and see if you can configure it that way. (the 'fglrx-amdcccle' package). If all else fails you can revert to the opensource drivers ('xserver-xorg-video-ati', dont forget to uninstall fglrx)
@Offtopic. I get that ALL the time. Drives me nuts!
Well, now we're back to where we started. Minecraft runs, but it's laggy. (using opensource drivers)
Off Topic, sounds like a laggy database, as in too many queries being made and the database server is having a hard time processing it. At least from my experience.
I try and run ubuntu and it loads up but then crashes. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 just as he is. Here is my output.

Enough for today, it's 5:20 AM and I need sleep...
Needed to install the sun-java6-jre package and add the multiverse repositories.

I really want to run minecraft D:.
Also, funny thing, I too have the ATi 4650, the agp version.
Odd. I thought Minecraft worked fine with OpenJDK.
Anyone?
