running technic launcher through command line in ubuntu?

[miniboxer]

Well, I recently reinstalled my build, and it nuked my java install. I got vanilla minecraft working, but when i run technic launcher, it seems to work, then whitescreens after i log in. I HAVE ALREADY TRIED ALL THE STEPS IN THE FAQ PAGE, THANKS FOR ASKING!

It's never a good idea to run modded Minecraft under Linux. NEVER!

That's a mistake right there.

i have no idea what you are talking about. I have been using mods for a while under linux, and figured out how to get it to work myself, and now it works just fine

You don't understand the Linux mentality at all.

You seem to have the windows mentality of "if it doesn't work, the devs need to support it better"

Whereas the linux mentality is "Anything can be made to work."

Tangentially related is this:

exactly!

Also, i do not see the difference between vanilla minecraft under linux, and modded minecraft under linux

[kingsocarso]

so why don't the devs support it? under Ubuntu, the mods run as slow as heck.

by the way, make sure you know whether you are using the .jar or .exe file. .jar should work better under linux with less errors.

miniboxer, I run Arch64 and had the same problem. Here's your fix:

Basically, if you look at your log files, you will notice the following error:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tekkit/bin/natives/liblwjgl.so: /tekkit/bin/natives/liblwjgl.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 (Possible cause: architecture word width mismatch)

To fix, open your ~/.minecraft/bin/natives folder and copy all the files in there. Place them in your ~/.techniclauncher/*game-of-choice*/bin/natives folder. Say yes to any overwrite requests and you should be good to go!

**EDIT**

A few notes. The above fix only works if you have a separate vanilla minecraft .jar that you play. If you don't have one, go grab it and make sure it plays fine. Then you should be able to follow the above fix.

If that *doesn't* work for you, then you need to download them. Follow instructions here:

Another thing to watch out for is that when you launch the game, it will go to the gray screen for about 5-10 seconds. Then it will sit on the MOJANG splash for about 30 seconds. So just give it some time when you launch it!

And kingsocarso, you can make ANYTHING run in linux. Especially java applications. Java is designed to be cross-platform compatible, so if you have a .jar file you can get it to work. :-)

doing a full update of LWJGL (as per http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Update_LWJGL) did the trick for me

Sniper061, I owe you a beer!
