MCL-2451Stuck at "Starting Launcher"
When started the launcher freezes at "Starting launcher." with no indication of a crash. Even after deleting my .minecraft folder when run through terminal it produces this output:

That
looks graphics driver and / or Java related.
Your Java version is out of date! Please update your Java to the latest version (1.7.0_55 / 1.8.0_05): http://www.java.com/en/download/.
If the above doesn't work, please try opening whatever terminal your system uses and type the following:
Normally, OpenJDK 7 works better than Oracle/Sun's Java.
After the install finishes, remove Sun/Oracle's Java from your system.
Please post your results afterwards.
To make sure that your Java Runtime Environment is up to date, I very highly recommend using OpenJDK. Open a terminal emulator and type "sudo apt-get install default-jre". This command automatically downloads and updates the recommended version of OpenJDK for your system. The previous comments tell you to install "openjdk-7-jre", but when OpenJDK 8 comes out, you might not even know it and it will not update automatically. Install "default-jre" instead.

Hi, I have had the same problem, but for some reason when I restart my computer it fixes the problem, and it only gets stuck occasionally, I then have no idea what causes this issue for me! I am on Ubuntu (not sure what version but I can find out) my graphics card and drivers are up to date.
Update: Didn't even have to restart, just randomly works.
