Issue:
After completely clearing out my .minecraft directory I restarted my launcher to create the required launcher_profiles.son file for the Minecraft Forge Installation.
I then proceeded to use the latest recommended universal Forge installer, gave it execute permissions and ran it.
After running the installer it gave me a green light telling me that the install went without a hitch so I opened up the Official Minecraft Launcher that I downloaded directly off of minecraft.net for Debian/Ubuntu.
The launcher shows me the forge 1.12.2 profile but when I attempt to start the game it just tells me that "An unexpected issue occured and the game has crashed. We're sorry for the inconvenience."
System details:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS x64_86
Kernel: 4.18.11-041811-generic
Nvidia Driver details:
Version: 396.54
X.Org Server Version: 1.19.6 (11906000)
GPU: GeForce GTX 980
Java version:
openjdk 10.0.2 2018-07-17
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.2)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.2, mixed mode)
The unmodded version 1.13.1 and 1.12.2 of Minecraft work without issue.
I don't get any crash report file, only the launcher log which you can find attached since it's too large for pastebin :/
This is seriously puzzling to me and this only occured after upgrading Ubuntu to 18.04. (Seriously tho wtf has canonical done to Ubuntu!?!) Thanks to anyone willing to help me in advance!
