Ubuntu 22.04, latest launcher stuck on cleaning step.
Hi,
Context:
I wanted to download the launcher for Minecraft for my Ubuntu 22.04, because of upcoming Minecraft live and in game voting.
1. I downloaded (https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download) and installed Debian version of minecraft-launcher.
2a. Then I tried to run it from Application view
2b. Then I tried run it in console with sudo modifier.
3. Little window appeared saying it downloads something.
4. Little window now says it cleaning up. (for ~2 hours)
Step 3 and 4 in console (little windows was also present with same output):

Hi there!
Could you please record the video of the issue?
Did you have Launcher before? Or third party Launcher?
Do you have .minecraft folder created?
This ticket will reopen automatically when you reply.
As soon as i get home from job i will record it.
I had tried official launcher in my old ubuntu version, before i did upgrade.
But it was failing, too, however it was probably different error than current one, because instead of liltle window freeze it got stuck in processes (i didn't reported it, because i tried unofficial launcher that worked GD )
I had that .minecraft folder, but i did uinstaled launcher and removed it as one attempt to make it work (didn't helped) . I specificaly checked, if it is recreated, but it was not.
Hi again,
Have you tried installing it from arch file?
Also please check this issue for possible solutions.
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
After fresh restart and clean install it created .minecraft folder.
Here is the video: https://youtu.be/i6Coxud8n2A
I found some log files in .minecraft and one of them has an error near the end. I am attaching it too.
No, i don't know how to install arch files on my Ubuntu.
Sorry, somehow I didn't post issue in my previous post.
Please see this ticket for potential solution.
MCL-21060Many thanks !!!
It was exactly a SOLUTION.
[0.000000] RDRAND gives funky smelling output, might consider not using it by booting with "nordrand"I have almost same line to that one (different number at start) at every start of PC.
After i installed new BIOS version and
did clean install of minecraft-launcher (with --purge and removing .minecraft folder)
it was fixed.
I guess now i have HW random generator active too :3
Many thanks once more.
Glad it helped
