Nope, it don't, there's no .deb...

The technic launcher doesn't really "install" and therefore does not need a package. It is just a jar file which you execute. From the command line (or a desktop link you make) you would run:

java -jar TechnicLauncher.jar

That is correct. The launcher uses java and is not a native linux program.

pawel@pawelmint ~ $ java -jar TechnicLauncher.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile TechnicLauncher.jar

That what is my terminal responding.

I got a Technic Launcher on desktop, should i navigate first?

When referencing a specific jar with "-jar" the target file must be in the current folder or must be referenced with a valid path. So, if you had the TechnicLauncher.jar file in a subdirectory called ".Desktop" in your home directory the correct syntax would be:

java -jar ~/.Desktop/TechnicLauncher.jar

First you should install the Java Runtime Enviroment (jre) by typing something like "apt-get install openjdk-7-jre" or "aptitude install openjdk-7-jre". Then download the Technic/Minecraft jar file, and put it on your desktop. Right click on it and go to the Permissions tab, then click the box that says "Allow executing file as program". Next, in the same window click the "Open With" tab and select OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime. After doing all of that you should be able to click it to run. This is how I run Technic and Minecraft on Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is based on Debian. Good luck!

I'm not sure, but did you perhaps miss this post by the OP?

not that trying to be helpful is a bad idea, but it looks like you didn't actually read the thread before posting.  also, while ubuntu is based on debian, they are not nearly as similar as you seem to believe.

You don't run the launcher JAR directly. You pass the launcher JAR to the java executable as a command line parameter. Reference the previous posts for precise syntax.
