Minecraft Error ----> video driver issues?

Howdy...

Linux Mint 14 Nadia
Dell Inspiron 9400
2 GB RAM
running openjdk-7-jre as required
don't know what graphics card - how do I find it?

I've been trying to run Minecraft on my Linux Mint notebook. After resolving some issues with the launcher, it fails to run and gives me an error message. I sent the error log to my son, who is a software developer but not very experienced in Linux, and he googled enough to tell me it seems to be a video driver issue. The error report is below.

Can anybody confirm that diagnosis, correct it if necessary, and tell me what to do with it. I'm also not very experienced, so if I need a video driver update, I'd need pretty detailed instructions on how to do that.

Thanks!

==========================

from what I can tell from a quick web search, your laptop has an Intel GMA 950
so you are going to struggle to get that to work with Minecraft, or anything 3d.

Since I have no experience with the Intel GMA 950 I may be proved wrong.
hmm,
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/lapto...-inspiron-9400

maybe you have the Graphics upgrade?

Good morning Firerat...

Does the fact that it reports a ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 help?

Thanks very much!

your in luck

my research was wrong

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Radeon Mobility X1400

it has been a while since I ran mint
I think Jockey, a 'driver manager' was removed
it is now part of software manager..

Software Manager --> Edit --> Software Sources --> Additional Drivers(tab)

in there you should see ati,
'activate'
it will probably tell you to reboot

after that you should have better 3d support, hopefully you will then be able to run minecraft

Firerat...

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

OpenGL: ~~ERROR~~ RuntimeException: No OpenGL context found in the current thread.

That card should run minecraft but it is looking for OpenGL I would make sure you have mesa installed.
reinstall it if you have to.
run glxgears see if openGL is in place.

There are no proprietary drivers for that GPU.

To the OP, what's the output of 'glxinfo' ?

Adam

Well, maybe.. there are.

http://linuxmint.com/rel_nadia.php
points to
http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/10/h...st-legacy.html

since Linux Mint 14 is based on Ubuntu 12.10 ( Quantal Quetzal )

mesa-utils is installed - is that what you mean?

glxgears run with pic of three gears turning and the following output:
=============
glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
296 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.163 FPS

Thanks!

Firerat...OK, looked at the Launchpad link, but no clue as to what to do with any of it. Any additional comments after seeing all of my catch-up replies?

Thanks!

. well the launchpad stuff is explained in the ubuntuvibes link, which was linked from Linuxmint's official site.

The problem is , your GPU being old, ATI/AMD dropped support for it
There are 'legacy' drivers available, but the problem there is they only support older Xorg servers, and kernels.

The Third party ( not official Mint or Ubuntu ) is in effect a 'patch' to this

The repository provides an older Xorg server, and patched kernel drivers for the newer kernels

from
http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/10/h...st-legacy.html

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install fglrx-legacy

if you then reboot you should be using ATI/AMD proprietary drivers, and Minecraft should at least start
But you may need 'tune down' the performance features, despite its 'blocky look' Minecraft is pretty demanding

Warning:
since you are downgrading Xorg, the above process may uninstall a few things
but you should be able to reinstall them later

Firerat...

OK - understand all of that. I guess that since I can undo it, I can take the risk and try it! I'm pretty shy of making changes if there's a chance that it will screw up something that's already working.

And that brings up another point.

On a lark, I tried Minecraft, and it worked! I have no idea what changed, but it's working. I'll have to "tune down" graphics settings since, as you pointed out, that in spite of the blocky look, it is graphics intensive. At home (I happen to be traveling right now), my wife and son play one of the mods - can't recall which one - and it runs on my ~2 year-old Alienware notebook, but very poorly and eventually crashes my 6-7 year-old Alienware desktop. These are both Windows - the desktop is running XP and the notebook running Windows 7.

I'll give your solution a try since I'd like to try installing some other Windows games via PlayOnLinux--->Wine, and that may help with the graphics. I was having trouble with graphics on Torchlight II, but got taht resolved, so this solution myght improve that.

Thanks again for taking tine to work through this.
