It would help if you explained how you were trying to start it and what
errors you’re receiving.

How are you trying to launch Minecraft?

You should run the minecraft.jar with the command below

(I have made an icon on the desktop which points to the launcher .jar, which
I have put in my home/bin dir)

java -cp /home/<username>/bin/minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame

Obviously put your username in the <username> this will then start the
launcher which will d/load all the needed stuff and set it all up for you in
a .mincraft dir in your home.

That should be it.

HTH.

Looking at the error messages and doing a quick google on them points to
trusted certificates and guff of which I know little.

I am not even sure why you should be getting anything like this, are you
trying to call the url with https instead of http?

Sorry java is not on of my strong points.

Maybe someone else can jump in here.
