MCL-5215Not using already present installation
When having the terminal in elevated privileges, the launcher does not seem to use the minecraft data already present in /home/user/(Username)/.minecraft
and rather /root/.minecraft/. And therefore does not use already present userdata.
Perhaps this pertains to a linux issue, cheers!
Environment
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
Linux Mint - Most likely other linux distros aswell
Terminal root privilege
Launcher: 1.6.70

This is caused by linux. I wouldn't consider this an issue since root cannot know which user folder it should search in.
This is expected behaviour, if you run as root under linux then you gain all of the root users default environment variables, which sets the current home folder (~) to /root, while on the subject, I highly advise that you do not run the game as root, there is no reason at all to do it.
