Problem stated in title. When it opens, it instantly minimizes, and if I maximize it, same thing happens. If I launch without fullscreen, it's completely fine... until I turn on fullscreen. Anyone I could find either had a slightly different problem with it minizing every once in a while, or threads from 5 years ago with people using windows 7. Any help is appreciated!

Figured it out! Turns out all the lines in the logind.conf file are commented out, something I probably should have recognized, but I'm really only used to the // for comments. Anyways, changing this fixed it and the server now runs like a charm!

I checked the BIOS, but they seem very limited. Couldn't find the correct settings. Could it be that the BIOS have been intentionally limited, since this is a laptop? I couldn't find any "expert" or "advanced" mode either.

Ok, I formatted and removed every partition from the drive, reinstalled CentOS, redownloaded the server but did everything according to this guide instead: https://www.spinup.com/setting-up-a-minecraft-server-on-centos-8/. Everything now works great! Thanks a lot to @Eigenvektor & @Master Disaster for all the help. Edit: I realized afterwards that may have sounded sarcastic, that was truly not the intention. I have however run into a small issue: I cannot for the life of me prevent the machine from sleeping when I close the lid. I have changed pretty much every setting related to the lid i

Ok, new day and for some reason things have changed. After restarting the laptop(now server I guess) I opened screen and attempted to run the server using the following command: java Xmx4G Xms4G -jar server.jar nogui This resulted in the following output: Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true Error: Could not find or load main class Xmx4G Edit: Oops, typo(- before Xmx and Xms). Server now running, but I still can't connect to it.

Ok, I am about 95% sure I did this correctly, but I still cannot connect, and "netstat -tulpen" still doesn't show any tcp4.

Ok, to be honest I can't make that much sense of that thread. I know it may be a lot to ask, but I really want to get this going even though I get the felling I don't have the background knowledge necessary. I would really appreciate it if you could explain what commands I should use.

There are no entries for tcp4 in the list, as far as I know I'm only using IPv4 on my network, that is at least what I have been using when trying to connect to the server.

Yes, I have forwarded the port(TCP + UDP), and I am trying to connect on my other PC using the local iPv4 address of the laptop running the server.

Ok, screen is running, I used "netstat -tulpen" and the resulting list contains one line with 25565(minecraft port) in it: Proto Rev-Q Send-Q Local address Foreign address STATE User Inode PID/Program name tcp6 0 0 :::25565 :::* LISTEN 1000 82171 33583/java Still can't connect to it, though

That worked! screen now running (presumably as it should)

Ok, now it says it needs to be run with superuser priviliges (under the root user on most systems) but I am logged into the only user(which is admin) and username of said user is displayed on last line in command prompt.

Checked ports? no clue. the command you suggested return 3 text chunks; Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 20026 packets, 40M bytes) pkts vytes target prot opt in out source same thing repeats 2 times, except with: ... FORWARD ... 0 ... 0 & ... OUTPUT ... 5039 ... 395K I've tried the solution person with firewall issues was suggested, that is when i get the error message.

After some hassle, I managed to download CentOS on an old laptop of mine, as well as running a minecraft server after accepting the EULA. The problem is that I can't connect to it. I followed this guide for CentOS 8: https://linuxhint.com/install_centos_8_server/, this guide for sever: https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/how-to-setup-minecraft-server#How-to-Make-a-Minecraft-Server-on-Linux, and finally portforwarded port 25565 to said laptop. Note that I am using the version of CentOS with no graphical interface and I did not get to install Screen. After reading this: I downloaded t

Budget: haven't really thought much about it, but I want a smooth experience and some room as I might want to use it for other games down the line. The noise is a bit tricky, can't be anything like a full-blown server, but I might be able to have it in a room where noone usually spend time, so... there's that. Power comsumption, not a problem. I live in Norwway, so basically all the power is eco-friendly.
