Weird Launcher Issue

[JRM_DePixel8r_]

Having an issue when trying to launch the EDU version of the client, or the server.  I am getting the window with no content, and the window is minimised to just the border.  If I run the default Minecraft version it works fine.  This is an out of the box installation, with no extra mods, or changes. 

Happening on a dedicated server, and on a desktop. 

No event viewer logs, but here is the crash report:

Any thoughts or ideas?

TIA

I am almost positive Java 7 update 51 was an issue with running MinecraftEdu.

Might be a good place to check.

I know 7 update 45 and 55 worked fine.

[EduElfie]

Looks like you are running Java 7 U 67 in the first error log, which should be fine, but the 'pixel format not accelerated' points to a graphics issue I think. However the second log does say Java 7 U51, which is a known issue as Shane suggests.

So I would be updating your graphics drivers, and removing all old java installs and installing either 7 U67 or as Shane suggests 7 U55.

Elfie.

[JRM_DePixel8r_]

The reason I it is to get mods working on the server.  Because we are going to run the EDU version as a persistent for one group, we want to make it run with mods, which I thought required the client to be run once first.

I have updated the Java to the and it's now on U67, and same thing.  =(

It WAS working, and in fact if I run the normal version it works without an issue.  Anything else?

[JRM_DePixel8r_]

Okay, so now to work on mods.  Fully wiped Java, rebooted, reinstalled.  Video drivers not touched, as a) already latest and b) vanilla was working so not a driver issue with that.  Sound drivers the same.

It's working, let's see how things go.

Thanks.

[MisterA]

Yeah comparing the vanilla version with the Edu version on the same build isn't really a good indicator per se. What it does tell you is that your issue is most likely with java and the Forge Mod Loader. The reason I say this is because the vanilla doesn't require the fml, but the Edu version forge is built in.

Glad to hear your server issue is solved, as long as you add the mods for your version of MCEdu, you should be fine. With that said, it is always best to add one mod at a time then start up the server. If successful, then shut down and add another. I prefer this method for testing mods and compatibility rather than load it up and try to remove what I think is causing the issue.

Hope that helps.

[Toni Paavola]

Pixel format not accelerated error is related to the graphics as Elfie said. Usually updating the graphics drivers to the latest version solves this issue. MinecraftEdu is built on top of Forge mod platform which explains why vanilla Minecraft works just fine but MinecraftEdu does not. Glad you got everything working though.
