I've downloaded Minecraft on a recently wiped computer. I installed Ubuntu 18.04 as my OS. After installing Java 8, Minecraft won't launch at all. This is the error message on first ever launch:

This appears to be a common problem in Ubuntu, and there look like there are several ways the install can go wrong. Based on the errors, it looks like it is a certificate problem. Most of the solutions involve reinstalling java certificates. What else have you tried?
Had this issue too, ultimately I completely removed OpenJDK (all versions) and just had Oracle Java Version 8. I tried updating the cert's, no change, but then I did the reinstallation of the certs and it started working for me. Also side note on linuxmint 19 Beta (based on Ubuntu 18.04). Perhaps try updating the cert again?
If that doesn't work you can install and run the Snap version, yes you can install minecraft via snap.
- Install snapd if it isn't already.
- Install Minecraft -- " sudo snap install minecraft "
Not sure about vanilla Ubuntu, but with Linuxmint 19 (Cinnamon) you may have to relog for a shortcut to it to show up in the menu.
Also if you want to install mods and are looking to install forge direct it to "/home/<you>/snap/minecraft/common/.minecraft " that's where the profiles and saves and etc are stored.

Please fix the error and restart.
I disabled and even deleted my firewall. I still get the same issue.
Expired certificates, or need to create new ones for the new version of Java?
idk I just downloaded Java yesterday
try:
this looks like a security CERT issue, this can be casued by an out of date OS, missing certs or even incorrect date and time.
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04... Just came out the other day. Also ccr's solution didn't work.
Then

Those two commands didn't work either, ccr. :/ I don't know what to do
