How did you install minecraft-launcher ? Why are you in a git repo with that name?

Not really - there should be an executable file installed by the package. A .desktop file is a desktop application launcher (which describes various bits of information, e.g. the icon to be shown in menus and the executable file to be run).

Muddyfox · 28 December 2021 19:47

I installed it from the arch wiki following this guide:

jonathon · 28 December 2021 19:55

All the Arch wiki says is that

OK, but what did you do?

There are also two questions and a pointer that you have overlooked from above, please go back and review.

Muddyfox · 28 December 2021 20:02

the first thing i tried was installing it with add/remove software but that didnt work so i tried the video
well in the viedo he said to do git clone AUR-link and then makepkg -si. I guess that solves why its agit repo.

java -version
openjdk version "17.0.1" 2021-10-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.1+12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.1+12, mixed mode)

The folder contains:

OK, that makes sense, and the other good thing is you've found out how to install AUR packages "the Arch way" (using makepkg).

Next, let's find out the name of the script installed that runs the launcher, and then try running it.

pacman -Ql minecraft-launcher

If that list is too long, look for files installed under /usr/bin (which is where most executables are placed:

pacman -Ql minecraft-launcher | grep usr/bin

That should provide you with an executable to run, e.g. /usr/bin/minecraft-launcher - run that in a terminal and check the output.

Muddyfox · 28 December 2021 20:09

ok think thats it

usr/bin/minecraft-launcher
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what():  basic_string::_M_construct null not valid
fish: Job 1, '/usr/bin/minecraft-launcher' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)

jonathon · 28 December 2021 20:14

On testing the launcher, it seems to be working for me...

Just to rule it out, could you run it using bash?

bash -c /usr/bin/minecraft-launcher

Are you fully up-to-date?

Muddyfox · 28 December 2021 20:17

It even newer than uptodate

warning: garuda-settings-manager-git: local (1.0.0.r1.g15c4106-3) is newer than chaotic-aur (1.0.0.r1.g15c4106-1)
warning: garuda-settings-manager-kcm-git: local (1.0.0.r1.g15c4106-3) is newer than chaotic-aur (1.0.0.r1.g15c4106-1)

Ok changed the terminale and the error did change

/usr/bin/minecraft-launcher
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what():  basic_string::_M_construct null not valid
Aborted (core dumped)

jonathon · 28 December 2021 20:24

This throws up some hits.

Can you try

LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/minecraft-launcher

?

If this works then it's this issue:

and you need to fix your locale settings.

Muddyfox · 28 December 2021 20:25

Thanks that was the problem! how can i fix the locale settings?

jonathon · 28 December 2021 20:28

Make sure that the first two steps from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide#Localization are in place.

(The wiki link gives the minimal steps needed, you'll need to use your brain to work out the locale setting you want )

Muddyfox · 28 December 2021 20:30

These are my locale settings:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8

is it the problem that they dont match up? Like some german and some englisch?

jonathon · 28 December 2021 20:33

Maybe - I haven't mixed locales, so you could try making them the same, but before doing that make sure that both

de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
...
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

are uncommented in /etc/locale.gen and then run sudo locale-gen . If that doesn't help then edit /etc/locale.conf and see if it helps. If none of those help then it's likely something in your DE, I seem to remember that KDE has its own way of setting the active locale...

Muddyfox · 28 December 2021 20:38

Ok they werent uncommented in locale.gen.
i tried starting now with /usr/bin/minecraft-launcher and it work but then died

jonathon · 28 December 2021 20:41

Can I assume you also ran sudo locale-gen and it didn't output any error?

Try logging out and in (or rebooting) to make sure the new locales are known to the session.

It might also be useful to have a read through Locale - ArchWiki in case I'm missing something...

Muddyfox · 28 December 2021 20:45

yes it didnt.
I just rebooted but still the same error.
I will look into the wiki if i can find anything but atleast i can start minecraft with LC_ALL=C

jonathon · 28 December 2021 20:47

Grand. As I say, it could be a KDE setting so make sure to check there too.

Muddyfox · 28 December 2021 20:47

Ok thanks for the Help
