I'm Having Issues With Running Any Minecraft Versions Prior To 1.14 In The Vanilla Launcher

Hey guys! :) So this is my first post here (I think)... Let me start out by saying that I have some experience in Java, but mostly in other Programming Languages like C# and Ruby and C, etc.. So, any errors that pop up are still kinda foreign to me. :\ Basically, when I try to launch Minecraft, downloading Version 1.12.2, it crashes, and won't let me view the log. However, I deduced that the appropriate log would be in my .minecraft Directory. :) I'll attach it to my post. :) For context, I'm using Ubuntu 19.04, and just downloaded the Client fresh from their Server(s)! :D Everything works flawlessly, until I try and download any older versions. :( I can play 1.14 just fine, but alas... :( I tried searching Online, and found answers that say to do things like create a separate Directory, delete options.txt, etc., but I tried all that. :\ Nothing is working... I want to play the latest Version, but I also want to use mods that support at most 1.12.2. Any ideas guys? :) I'm going to try this in Windows and eliminate any potential options. :) Thanks for your help... *Bows*

I used to have this problem, my fix was reinstalling minecraft, but i think a better fix is moving mods out of the mods folder until it works again. (if you have mods) or reseting your PC/Mac as the VERY LAST RESORT. That is, if you are that desperate, but first try other things.

Yeah, those are good suggestions. :) Or, as we say in Linux Land, "nuke 'n pave". XD Well, using MultiMC worked for me, so I guess this case is closed. ;)

I use different directories to different versions of modded minecraft. I have 1.7.10 - 1.12.2 - and 1.14.3 directories. I making copies from .minecraft and rename them for example .minercraft_1710 and then I putting the version compatible modding in this directories. Then I change the starting folders to these in the launcher. This is the only mode to avoid a messed minecraft.

Funny thing is I tried that. :) Well, I think I did, but now I DEFINITELY know what the problem is: everything works fine under Windows 10, but in Ubuntu 19.04, that's where I'm having the issue. :\ So it may be something with OpenJDK.....

Yeah, I tried that. But as I found out and posted above, it seems to be a Linux issue, specifically, an OpenJDK issue. :\ So I'll try to use Oracle's Java, but the bundled Java Runtime with the Launcher doesn't work either. I'll post the output under Linux. :)

try using multimc
multimc.org/
multimc.org/

Yep, it worked! :) Something with the Client for Ubuntu, since they .exe for Windows worked just fine. :\

I'll try that out, but something tells me it's not going to work. :\ But, alas, I'll give it a go. :)
