Mageia forum

Hi - I wanted to share since it took some time to find the solution and I want to save other Mageia users some Googling if they come here first.

For package maintainers: is this possibly something to package with openjdk (required for Minecraft) or nvidia packages?

Problem:
You have children, therefore you have to get Minecraft on your system at some point.

Symptoms:
When opening Minecraft you may get this error (btw: this box was Latitude E6510 which uses a NVIDIA driver:

Code: Select all

// But it works on my machine.

The main error you care about being:

Long story short, you want to install this package:

Code: Select all

urpmi xrandr


Hope this helps someone in the future using Mageia - and big thanks to phraktal on the Arch forum where I found the answer at (xorg_xandr package over there):

Well, technically neither of those two requires xrandr, so that would be wrong.
Generally speaking, it should be added to their support page, wiki or in the forums. As currently, nothing can be found there about xrandr ...
But I'll try to see what can be done about that on our side, as xrandr is frequently required.

FWIW, do you happen to remember if you only installed the xrandr package itself, or did it also install the lix(64)xrandr2 package?

Just xrandr was installed.

Agree, not technically a requires
