Error on Start

So after having my windows partition corrupted, I've started trying to play on Ubuntu. However, whenever I try to run it I get this error:

@ Pre startup
1281: Invalid value

Any help?

Do you want the good new or bad news first.

GOOD NEWS:

I love linux and think it is the best OS and it really is.

BAD NEWS:

Minecraft has a hard time running on linux and for some reason I never did find out how to do it. You have to a lot of things in the terminal to allow it then you have to some how get it running. I was using wine but It only worked for a little bit. Also you cant get on teamspeak with linux. Reason is that teamspeak v3.0 is what we use and it just does not run. Or at least i never got it running. If it did I would be still using my Ubuntu / Mint OS so yea I dont know what to tell you.
