BreakingIce Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hello, I am trying to play Hexxit on my computer running Ubuntu 13.4. I just downloaded the launcher and when I try and play I get a white screen. I just downloaded Minecraft and have not messed with anything, so I don't know what the problem is. I played Minecraft extensively, but on a Windows machine, and circumstances forced me to change over to Linux (because its free, and I need an HDD wipe) so I don't know how a lot of this stuff works, and I am trying to learn as much as I can, so please excuse my ignorance. Any help I get to make this work will be very appreciated, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakingIce Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Oops, forgot to really say my problem. I downloaded the launcher, and I clicked to play on Hexxit and it seemed to load all the files for me. Then I click launch and FML does its thing and then I get a white screen. So I have no idea why, or what to do about it. Thank, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirleader Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm sure you really want to play.... wish I could help you. Since I can't, I'll just give you some advice: use the edit link instead of triple posting. oh, and read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakingIce Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Oh, well that sure makes me look bad huh XD. I'm terribly sorry, I should have read that. I'm pretty new here, as you can probably tell, but I'll make sure to follow the rules better, thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerson Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Sounds like a graphics card issue. What graphics card do you have, and have you done the stuff to get the official drivers? (they don't come by default for NVidia as I recall). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakingIce Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yeah I have the proper drivers (I believe) I can play vanilla Minecraft fine. I have a AMD ATI radeon HD 6450 GPU, if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerson Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Do you get a white screen as you click on hexxit and try to launch it, or is it the launcher itself which whites out on you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakingIce Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 It will go white when launching. Here, I have a screen recording of when I was describing the problem to my friend on Skype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniboxer Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 You need to manually update LWJGL. This is a known problem on linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakingIce Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hm, could you point in the direction to start? I have no idea what LWJGL is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniboxer Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hm, could you point in the direction to start? I have no idea what LWJGL is... Download 2.9 from their website, you can find the website via Google very easily. Extract it Copy all the files in jars folder into a separate folder, named bin In bin, make a new folder called natives, no caps, all lower case. Copy the Linux natives from the LWJGL download, they are in native/Linux, and are .so files. Paste them into the natives folder in bin Open the terminal and type cp -r <path to bin> ~/.technic/*/bin You will have to run that after a new modpack is installed. Only that line.

BreakingIce Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Ok, I did all you said, but when I put that line into the terminal, it said that there was "No such file or directory" I don't think that I have a .technic file, so that's probably the problem. Should I make one myself, if so where should I make it? I also don't have a .minecraft either, and I'm used to having one when playing on Windows, but I don't know if that's relevant. *EDIT* Ok, I found out how to do it, thanks a whole lot everyone for helping me, I wouldn't have been able to figure it out myself. I really appreciate it =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate it =D You probably didn't subsitute in the path to the bin folder. You do have a .technic though, it is in your home directory. You have to show hidden files, most of the time the hotkey is ctrl+h. In most linux file managers, hidden files are designated by putting a . in the front.
