I was trying to run minecraft on my laptop with ubuntu 12.04 lts 64 bit. I have a lenovo ideapad p580 with 7.7 Gb and an Intel® Core™ i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz × 4 processor. Under the graphics section of the system overview in ubuntu it says I have none installed. My computer comes with and nvidia geforce graphics card but it isnt recognized. When I start minecraft I get this crash report.

I suspect that your driver could be installed but not in use, have a look in your config file using:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

If your data is not there you may need to add this or similar to this to enable it.

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

And then save and in the terminal type:

sudo reboot
