Older Versions of MC not functioning after Java Updates

[Saffron-uni-Canux]

System Information:

MultiMC version: 0.6.12

Operating System: Linux Manjaro KDE

Summary of the issue or suggestion:

Older Versions of MC (e.g; 1.12.2) crash upon launch, even with Java-8-openjdk being the only version of Java installed which from my understanding means that older versions should function

What should happen:

Older versions such as 1.12.2 should launch as normal, as they did before the java / MC update

Steps to reproduce the issue (Add more if needed):

1. Install Manjaro KDE using the .iso from the official website

2. Update OS and build MultiMC from the AUR package provided by the "Add/Remove Software" pkg manager GUI

3. Select Java-8-openjdk and launch an older version of Minecraft which will then crash with error 255

Suspected cause:

Improper Java Installation

To be honest i suspect this may be some idiocy on my part and i simply misunderstand how Java should be properly installed but I'm not sure and I've tried and searched for solutions that i could think of and had seen but I've been unable to troubleshoot the issue.

install xrandr

[Saffron-uni-Canux]

I currently have "libxrandr" and "xorg-xrandr" installed... is that what your referring too?

Maybe you could provide me a link to the exact program you mean?

[phit]

so there's two common reasons for this bug to usually happen, either you don't have xrandr installed or you have some weird display setups lwjgl 2 doesn't like
if xrandr is installed, what is the output of xrandr -q

Ohh, ok well i just removed my dummy display that i use for VMs and it seems to work fine now, strange

[phit]

looks like LWJGL/lwjgl#129
HDMI-1-0 connected this screen is connected but disabled

[Saffron-uni-Canux]

Yeah, dummy plug in, MC crashes out, dummy plug out MC works fine
Well I'll see if i can work around that later but thanks for the help, never would have guessed it was a display issue!

[Saffron-uni-Canux]

Aaaaand i just got around it, had to make the main display a replica of the dummy, again thank you, this issue has been bugging me for awhile

[RudiAusBuddeln]

@phit I love you bro
