I believe it has something to do with input, I mean, LWJGL can't find the keyboard and mouse. Those "Failed to open device" messages.

I have the same issue in Xubuntu 12.04.

What Java are you using?

I have tried it using both Oracle Java and OpenJDK, using default LWJGL and updated LWJGL, but

bump

Hail.

So, I have reinstalled Xubuntu 12.04 on my laptop and it is working fine, but Minecraft is not. After I login, it shows the Mojang logo, and then the title/menu screen but then it freezes and I can't click in any button of the menu.

I had Minecraft working before in this same laptop.

I have tried to:
- Use Java from both Oracle OpenJDK
- Reinstall Java
- Update lwjgl
- Delete ~/.minecraft folder
but nothing worked.

I have no mods installed. I can see nothing wrong in the terminal output:

$ java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame

and when I force Minecraft to close:

AL lib: ReleaseALC: 1 device not closed

What should I do to check what can be wrong here?

It's not blue, it's CYAN

blue == cyan fwiw

There's a testificate stuck in the well.

there's already an extra layer.

1. mine and burn ores or kill cows
2. craft armor
3. wear armor
4. ??????
5. PROFIT


You have many choices of skins on this extra layer: leather, iron, gold and diamond.

INstead of moving .class files to the jar, use MCPatcher to install mods. Much easier.

have you used wheat on enderman?

Quote from DJHyDrA

actually that would be a desertED island

a desert island is exactly that; an island which is a desert.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_island

A desert island or uninhabited island is an island that has yet to be (or is not currently) populated by humans.

[...]

In the phrase "desert island," the adjective "desert" connotes a "desolate and sparsely occupied or unoccupied" area and does not imply that the island was previously inhabited and later deserted.[1] The term "desert island" therefore typically refers to an undiscovered island.[2]

Quote from GrifCreeper

Turn the dirt into sand to make it actually LOOK like a desert island.

a desert island is not what you think it is. a desert island is a uninhabited island. it does not have to have sand.

It obstructs your vision, adds lag, and most of all, has ZERO purposes,

No, it has a purpose. The purpose is to obstruct your vision.

the chance of a sheep spawning there is the same as any other grass block on the surface.

I hope so.
