  1. for some reason i can't use crostini and pointer lock….help

  2. So I’ve gotten as far as the SUDO apt -f install and it doesn’t go any further than that. But that was just trying the pocket edition. Maybe I’ll have to try this addition and see what happens. But you have any thoughts on where that could be happening? Could it not be enough room on the chrome book? Most of the room is taken up by almost 6 gigs of system storage and then we only have like two or three apps and I uninstalled everything else but it doesn’t seem to matter. I gave it like 4.8 storage for Linux but maybe that’s not enough

  3. Im so confused because when I enter the pointer lock or the gpu thing in chrome flags it doesn't pop up

  4. wait so if you have the game and play it on chromebooks that run linux, can you play multiplayer java?

  5. what if i dont have crostini gpu support

  6. ive tried to enable everything on the experiments page but nothing is popping up? Is it already there or can I just not install minecraft?

  7. thanks bro! you get a sub from me, this stuff still works after three years!

  8. I just says failed to retrieve info when I try to download, and it still doesn't work when I make the linux app space bigger it still says that. I need help please.

  9. i cant find pointer lock or crostini gpu support, what do i do plz help?

  10. I got it to work once, but then i couldnt open it back up. i tried deleting the file and redownloading it to try again, but every time instead of automatically opening it, it would say "app is available in your terminal. there may also be an icon in your launcher." it doesnt appear in my launcher, and i dont know how to open it with linux.

  11. THANK YOU DUDE. I know this is like 3-4 years later but still suuuuuuper helpful. If you do end up reading this comment, which is highly unlikely, then could you respond answering the following question: Can you play online with it???? Just wanted to know, but anyway, THX MAN!!!

  28. i got to the last step but now when i enter "java .jav OptiFine_1.19.2_HD_U_H9.jar" or "
    OptiFine HD U I2" it comes up with "Error: Could not find or load main class .jav
    Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: /jav" and I've been trying to figure it out for an hour but i can't find anything on this. do you or anyone in the comments have suggestions?
