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.
