I first try running minecraft using the following command.

java -jar minecraft.jar

It will first let me log in, and if there is an update available it will show me the update loading bar. Then after that, it shows me only a black screen. Here is the output in the terminal:

[[email protected] ~]$ java -jar minecraft.jar
asdf

Through some Googling, I found this article. He said he launched Minecraft from a script containing the line export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/". However, that directory does not exist on my computer. So instead i tried usingexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/jvm/oracle-jre-bin-1.7/lib/amd64". Which gives me the same results in the Minecraft window, but gives me a different output in the terminal:

I am running Gentoo with the i3 window manager, my uname -a:

Hi I had the same problem (black screen, wrong ELF class) and I found this worked for me. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

1. Go to http://lwjgl.org/download.php
2. Click the link to download the newest stable release
3. Download lwjgl-x.x.x.zip (lwjgl-2.8.3.zip at the time of writing)
4. Go to your home folder and press ctrl + h to show your hidden files
5. Go to .minecraft/bin and copy the matching .jar files from the jar folder in the zip that you downloaded into there
6. Copy the .so files from the native/linux folder in the zip file to .minecraft/bin/natives
7. Launch Minecraft

So. I first deleted my entire .minecraft folder and did a clean install on 13.04 with OpenJDK-7-JDK. (MC 1.5.1 Final)
Get message:

Then, I install LWJGL 2.8.4:
Get message(After multiple blackscreens on my physical monitor):

What the hell am i supposed to do?? I have tried the same thing with LWJGL versions 2.8.3-2.9.0 with the same result.
