I have installed Minecraft by downloading it from the main site, mirror and via wget in the terminal and I get one of two results:
Failed to load the page.
Please check your internet connection and try Reload again.
Error message: ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED (code=105).
The second is:
Sorry! We were unable to get your account information. Please restart your launcher.
I never got a chance to submit my account information so no wonder they can't get it. Restarting it does the same thing. (Definition of insanity)
The third one is:
PAGE NOT FOUND
[Back to Minecraft]
I have:
- Tried Microsoft/Mojang help (spoiler: they are useless!)
- installed with both of Microsoft's Mirrors
- installed through snap
- installed with wget
- rebooted more times than I can count
- updated the system for video card drivers AMD Radeon 590 both open source and proprietary
- ensured there were no unmet dependencies
- checked my router for anything that could block it
My internet is stable and working well. Plenty of wired and wireless bandwidth (I'm on a wired connection). Just rebooted the router just in case, along with the computer (again).
I just want to go back to playing one of the few games I do still play. I know it worked last year and then I had to redo my system. (I messed it up at the end of Jan installing some dev tools and nothing worked! I used a RaspberryPi 4 running 22.04 to download the ISO so I could make a bootable flashdrive on a 10++ yr old laptop running 20.04 because my backups failed me).
Any ideas for more things to try would be helpful and genuinely appreciated.
