I have downloaded the .jar file for Ubuntu Linux, and I can run it from Java running under the Wine Windows Compatibility Layer (allows some Windows programs to run under Linux). But, it won't load under the native Oracle Java 7 Runtime.
I can also run the Windows version under Wine, and it still works just fine (although using Wine really turns up the fan).
I know I installed Java right-I even reinstalled it through a manual install and using apt-get install to download the package through a PPA ( http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu - oracle-java7-installer package).
So, when I launch it via native Java, it gives me a black screen after I login.
Running it under Java on Wine, it runs just fine, but it turns the CPU fan up (I have Intel HD Graphics 4000 in my laptop, so it relies on the CPU).
How do I get it running properly under Ubuntu Linux?
I found a fix for this-I just use this command to launch it:
java -jar ~/Desktop/Minecraft.jar
It actually launches it. I made a launcher for it on the desktop, and it runs just fine now.
I dislike how it makes my fan get loud, but I am still not complaining considering the noise is about equivalent to what my old laptop was at its lowest volume.
