MCL-12341Changed Summary:
[LINUX] Launcher is invisible on Wayland
Changed Environment:
Linux kernel 5.3.5
Gnome 3.32
Wayland
I'm having the same issue. I downloaded the undocumented tarball for "Other Linux" from <https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/alternative/> because the link from the official minecraft.net navbar <https://my.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft/> did not load.
I extracted the minecraft-launcher folder to /opt, and ran it with ./minecraft-launcher but it quit without any console output. It makes this log in ~/.minecraft/launcher_log.txt:
[Info: 2019-10-18 00:46:22.840418332: LauncherMain.cpp(134)] Running Launcher

[Info: 2019-10-18 00:46:22.843509235: LauncherMain.cpp(169)] Exiting new Launcher process
EDIT:
The above error was caused by a separate instance of the launcher running. (It quits without error when there is more than one instance running)
Now when I run the launcher, it brings my browser window in to focus for some reason, and then outputs these messages:
[1017/181929.598700:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(346)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.

Here is a pastebin with the contents of ~/minecraft-launcher/launcher_log.txt:

Hi, thank you for the help. This seems to be the same problem as
MCL-12342. I downloaded the new version and verified that it is in fact different (both the files have different checksums, it would help to have a version number appended to the filename, or in a README, or VERSION.txt etc...), but I am getting the same output from the updated version, here's my program output and logs: https://pastebin.com/g6NrvdLEI'm taking note of these two lines:
[Info: 2019-10-19 03:29:07.976119631: root_window_manager.cpp(64)] Main window has been opened: 0x1e97300
[Info: 2019-10-19 03:29:07.981031844: root_window_gtk.cpp(390)] RootWindowGtk::OnBrowserCreated
I am able to see "Minecraft Launcher" in the alt-tab/window switcher menu, but not the window itself.
Hold up y'all, I've got news.
I logged out and logged back in selecting "Gnome on Xorg" instead of "Gnome" and the launcher started right up! This is not a permanent fix, and I don't know enough about this sort of thing to provide any more insight.
Just to verify, this only happens when running Gnome on Wayland, Gnome on Xorg works fine.
This is duplicated by
MCL-12215The workaround `GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./minecraft-launcher` works like a charm.
Same issue on Fedora 30 running Gnome/Wayland, the workaround works great, thank you.
Have you tried the workaround in
MCL-12215? Run the launcher like this:GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./minecraft-launcher
The new version works fine on Wayland without any workaround.
