Ubuntu: Failed to download version manifest, can not find server jar URL.

turbosnightmare · June 4, 2022

Hey so I am very new to Linux as a whole, I have a computer that I am turning into a Minecraft server, and I wanted to get experience with Linux, as I have never truly used it, I am using the Ubuntu kernel and following guides for everything. I am following this guide on YouTube linked here:

and I have followed the setup this guy has ex: /Documents/Server/Attempt1 (I replaced the server name found in the video) I have fully updated java to:

"java version "17.0.1" 2021-10-19 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39, mixed mode, sharing)"

I have in my Attempt1 folder the Forge installer: "forge-1.18.2-40.1.31-installer.jar" and that is it.

I use the command "java -jar forge-1.18.2-40.1.31-installer.jar" and then it loads up the installer, since I am wanting to download a server, not a client, I choose the server option, however I route the path of the server to the /Documents/Server/Attempt1 folder, and then I am given the error message: "Failed to download version manifest, can not find server jar URL." I have hit a wall at this point, and looked at other forums and have found nothing useful to me. Does anyone know what kind of jar URL I need? I thought the forge installer.jar would be the one it is looking for, but it appears not? If anyone is able to help, that would be greatly appreciated, and if you need anymore information or screenshots, I will provide them, however I might need instruction to ensure I send it the right way. Thank you again for your help!

Sorry for asking this, but how do I do that? Is there another guide? Cause the only install log I can find is syslog, but that is for the entire system, and in the installer folder, there is nothing for Forge, Is there a specific location of this log?

Well if it is, I think it could be because I haven't actually proceeded with the installer, so the server never officially started, because according to the video, it looks like after it starts, the installer populates the folder with the logs, and everything else with the server, which is not shown. But I don't think that should be the issue, would it? I saw in W2QGAMER's post his installer log, so I at least know what it looks like, but I don't have anything like that.

I'm not quite sure this is what you were asking, I ran the code through the console, tried to do what I had done at the beginning of this forum, and copy and pasted the code here: "

Is this what you were looking for?

Alright, i think that fixed the problem, I was able to use the sudo command and I was then able to browse through the files to the Attempt1 file and then I was able to install the server. First off, thank you for your help, it has been so nice to have instant replies, which I was not expecting, and this experience like everything else is helping me learn more about linux and computers as a whole. Second, is there anything that I need to know before I begin trying to find mods and downloading them, any guides or other forums that would help?
