DEVICE: thinkpad T520
new pc:

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition
RAM: 32 GB DDR4
DEVICE: custom built pc
MOTHERBOARD: MSI MPG X570 Gameing Plus
so heres the output when I run "minecraft-launcher" from the terminal:

NOTHING and it wont finish running the command
so "sudo minecraft-launcher":
[sudo] password for daniel:

ANNND NOTHING else, it still wont finish runing the command
also while its still running the system monitor says its an application even if there's no window.
so can you help me please.

also it shows the launcher taskbar icon for a few seconds
 
Here's how to fix it:

1. Update and Check Conflicts:
  • Update system and launcher: sudo pacman -Syu minecraft-launcher
  • Check for conflicting packages: pacman -Qqr (remove if needed)

2. Verify Java Compatibility (64-bit):
  • Ensure you have 64-bit Java installed (java -version).
  • If missing, install OpenJDK 8: sudo pacman -S jdk8-openjdk

3. Resolve Launcher Issues:
  • Delete launcher files for a fresh start (back up saves first!): rm -rf ~/.minecraft/launcher*

4. Consider Alternative Launchers:
  • Try PolyMC or MultiMC for advanced features.
