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?
yes cloud backups exist, but they always do the backup when the game closes, not while the game is running, moan to microsoft for changing onedrive, use the method mentioned above, or do manual backups to the onedrive folder, don't use the onedrive folder for minecrafts install location
Based on feedback from Microsoft, it is an issue with Minecraft not one drive. One drive should work as a directory for your settings and saved games.
If you want Microsoft to look at it up vote it from the feedback hub app in Windows 10. Should be able to find it using "minecraft onedrive" in the search.
Thanks for finding a relevant bug report. However, my logs indicate that the Fall Creators Update was installed in December 2017. The issue started right when the 1.12.2 update dropped across multiple machines of mine. It looks like there is more to it than that.
Since Minecraft works in normal directory, but not OneDrive, that tells me it's an issue with OneDrive, complain to Microsoft.
I have posted on their site as well. However, they will likely say if I switch to the windows 10 version I won't have the issue. Also, the launcher has steadily become more and more restrictive. A couple months ago they broke the ability to use mounted drives in windows.
onedrive is a storage/sharing drive, its not meant to be used for actively running games, hence why its not working properly with minecraft, minecraft edits and saves its files constantly, onedrive would then be constantly updating the files on the cloud none stop eating your data and as it takes time to upload and download things it would also cause minecraft ot lag as it gets the chunk data
1) It has worked in the past.
2) I'm not concerned about data. It's not going to burn anywhere near the bandwidth that streaming video would. The files are on my machine, the syncing is just backing them up to OneDrive so when I switch machines I retain skins/saved games/settings.
3) You can pause the syncing feature if you are that concerned about it.
4) Having the ability to make your settings and save games portable between machines is common sense. That is exactly what cloud services are for.
I had been setting my game directory to a folder in my Onedrive account so I could keep settings etc. synced between machines. Recently it has stopped working. I get the following error when I try to launch the game:
Error details: Cannot create a file when that file already exists
Filename on disk: .minecraft
Path: C:/Users\xxxxx\OneDrive\.minecraft
Exists: true
I can launch the game if I delete the folder. However, that defeats the purpose of saving game directory all together.

Expired certificates, or need to create new ones for the new version of Java?
