I don't know what the problem is. I'm trying to get Minecraft started up on Linux, on my laptop, and for some reason it just refuses to get past the login screen. I have minecraft.jar on my desktop, I'll go into terminal, enter
Is it not showing any errors in the terminal? Also, look at the latest version of Ubuntu. I'm not particularly a fan of that Linux distro, but I can tell you that newer is better. If you're using 9.04 and the latest is 12.10, then I recommend doing an update / reinstall.
Also, before you resort to anything extreme, I would check that your graphics drivers are up to date with the Additional Drivers tool.
When I paste the code in terminal, there are no errors, there's no message at all besides "asdf", but after I try to log in I get this

And yes, I agree that newer is better, but 9.04 is the only one that works on this laptop. I have 12.04 running on my desktop.
What can I do to fix this? I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 if that makes any difference what so ever.
