Hi, like the title says. I'd suspect my installation but: 1) I went through the same setup process on a similar machine yesterday and that launches fine and 2) if I try 'sudo apt-get install Minecraft.deb' in the terminal I get an error ' ... Unable to locate package Minecraft.deb ...'.
Anyone else having this problem?
Some background:
I'm wanting to setup two development computers for my kids, so I've installed jdk 8 (confifmed installation ok with java -version and a 'Hello World' program), and downloaded the raw launcher files package. (It's a clean installation of ubuntu 18.04.1 so I doubt there's a ubuntu problem.)
When I extract the package and double click on 'launcher' nothing happens.
All works fine on the other machine, so I think the setup is good. Noticed that the minecraft site is having some issues this morning, so I'm thinking someone has broken the download package.
Any help much appreciated.
Also: can I sideload the package I downloaded to my other machine to this machine and try it (i.e. copy the package onto a usb, copy across to this machine and try it) or is that not going to work?

solved - missing dependency libgconf. Don't remember installing this on the other one!
