Minecraft Forums

Hello! I have a fresh install of Arch Linux on my P35K gaming laptop. I have installed minecraft from the AUR using Yaourt, and the launcher works perfectly. Unfortunately, I cannot launch the game client (and because of the error I would assume this will happen to all java games).

I keep getting this error:

A detailed walkthrough of the error, its code path and all known details is as follows:

I think it may be due to a missing package.
Currently, I use the "nvidia" driver that I installed via

sudo pacman -S nvidia

for graphics, if that is relevant. Also, here some of my specs (I would think that at least some of them are relevant):

Since no one has replied to this yet I will assume it is because nobody knows what the heck I am talking about. Does anyone know a better place to put this? Maybe a Java forum or something?

try "sudo pacman -Syu xorg-xrandr"
