I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an old PC, and have followed the steps. I put Minecraft,jar on my desktop, changed the permission rights to allow executing file as program, and tried to login. It worked, tried to download, but then crashed. Here is my error message.

Run what? The original script you gave me? Because I ran it twice already and went through that whole installation thing. EDIT: Never mind, I guess I didn't do it right the first time, but here is what came up.

Thanks to epikal and chuckaknuckle. Hopefully I can get this problem resolved in future. I will post my solution here, regardless of how long it takes.
