The launcher copies over none working versions of LWJGL, as do all MC version on Linux.

The normal way to fix this is to manually update the libaries yourself.

However the FTB launcher compounds the problem by seeing youve changed them, and re-overwriting the newly installed and working files with the old none working files.

Until the FTB launcher stops this behaviour and reverts to the normal MC way of doing things, the FTB launcher will not work on Linux.

when in the folder the launcher is in, go control-h to un-hide the files. go into the .minecraft file. you should only see a bin file. proceed to update the lwjgl files there, because that's what the launcher is using to replace them in the instance.

Since the current launcher will immediatly overwrite the updated files again, I'm not sure what the point is of updating in the first place.

The launcher needs to be fixed first.

I was able to get 0.3.1 launcher to run correctly under F17 just now. That being said, F10 stopped receiving end of life updates almost 3 years ago. Unless you just have your heart set on F10, you may try updating.

How did you get it to work?

I put the launcher in it's own folder and ran it from command line. I have the OpenJDK runtime for Java 7 I'll put up some screenshots in a couple.

Edit: I decided that I'd just use gnome's build in screen recording tool to record a short video. http://rooticraft.com/ftb-0.3.1launcher.webm

Note that it's running in a virtual machine, so minecraft isn't exactly the most responsive program in the book, but it's all there and all working.
