I press launch minecraft and it crashes upon start up.

Please provide a crash log, or we can't diagnose the problem.

Paste it through Pastebin or Ubuntu Paste.

fixed it I needed aperture 2

@TheWesternRider yeah, in the change log it's stated that you need at least Aperture 1.2. It's nice that you was able to solve it. 🙂
