I seem to be having a different issue than what others are describing. Suddenly today, I an unable to start the launcher without getting a generic "An unexpected issue occurred" message. Here's what I get in the terminal:

$ minecraft-launcher
sh: line 1: orca: command not found
Created browser window for reuse: 0x1600004
[34399:34552:0308/133050.212343:ERROR:mime_util_xdg.cc(137)] Invalid mime.cache file does not contain null prior to ALIAS_LIST_OFFSET=44
[34399:34552:0308/133055.416488:ERROR:cast_crl.cc(443)] CRL - Verification failed.

Edit: I found that deleting the webcache2 directory in the .minecraft directory fixes the issue for me.

The package version is the version of the launcher bootstrap - the part that actually downloads and updates the launcher.

That means the version number of the actual launcher (2.x.xxx) is different from the version here (9xx+) on a fundamental level, and should not be compared.

The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

Please change the dependency from xorg-server-utils to xorg-xrandr. The latter is back in the repos.

Please add ttf-dejavu as a dependency. Without this font, the game fails at launch.

@sterlo I didnt flag it

sterlo commented on 2014-04-13 18:11 (UTC)

@Toost_Inc -- I think it's labeled as out of date due to the inclusing of a cruft library, OpenAL, as per Booster-SDK.

How can this package be out of date when it uses the same launcher as linked to on the official site?

B4SH-B00STER commented on 2014-03-17 18:27 (UTC)

OpenAL is not needed

There you go, updated description taken from wikipedia

The description for this package is wrong. (a) Don't include pkgname in the description, that's part of the PKGBUILD guidelines, (b) Use a more serious description, like "A game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine.", or "An open world sandbox indie game." (from minecraft.net and wikipedia respectively).

Under which wierd setup does the output go to daemon.log? If running in a console it goes to the console, otherwise, the output is discarted. Otherwise, daemon.log would be full of all sort of junk from almost every user-space app.
