Crash when trying to load game on Linux

[simply-silver]

Every time I attempt to load the game on launcher version 1.09_15-pre3, it will crash with this message:

[2021-10-14 14:52:30] Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-lookup.c: 105: check_match: Assertion `version->filename == NULL || ! _dl_name_match_p (version->filename, map)' failed!

I've tried multiple versions through every era of the game, so it isn't an incompatibility with the game itself.

OS: Arch Linux (Kernel 5.14.11) Java: OpenJDK 17.u35-1

Try earlier Java version such as Java 8 or different build such as ~AdoptOpenJDK~Adoptium/Temurin Java. It might work better than a newer and/or different Java build that might not have some features that old minecraft versions might need. I also had problems similar to this when using stock OpenJDK 11 and I found that AdoptOpenJDK Java 11 build would work fine for me. Then migrated it to Adoptium later. If launcher would not work for you when using an earlier Java version I'd recommend using a different Java build such as Temurin by Adoptium team instead as on some systems such as mine the launcher wouldn't show the window unless such build was used. I haven't tested the Oracle Java, you might also try it too. I'm running on Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS btw. If you have multiple Java versions installed you should call the executable directly, also a desktop file for the launcher that has correct java executable used to execute it as shown in the example below would be a great addition to this.

Edit 2020-12-31: Consider migrating to Adoptium/Temurin if still using old AdoptOpenJDK build as the new updates will come from the new source since the project has been rebranded when it was moved to Eclipse Foundation. For linux installation instructions check https://blog.adoptium.net/2021/12/eclipse-temurin-linux-installers-available/ and later adoptium site when it becomes available, change executable to /usr/lib/jvm/temurin-8-jdk-amd64/bin/java where applicable

I've tried an x86_64 JRE 8 from https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=8. I'm running both the launcher and the game itself with it (specified with instance options). Unlike system OpenJDK 17 from Fedora 37 repositories, this allows b1.7.3 to start, but I get a black screen (I've waited several minutes).

I'm using an X11 session on NVIDIA 530.41.03, with a single 4K display. (I've tried reducing resolution to 1920×1080 just in case, but that didn't resolve the issue.)

Edit: I've resolved this issue by installing xrandr from the repositories, following the instructions from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58939641/lwjgl-crashing-at-startup.
