I installed Ubuntu V9.04 from disc went to V11.04, but then after I upgraded I found that Minecraft crashes once it hits the menu. I've tried Java Runtime, and Java JDK. Runtime gets into rendering singleplayer and it crashes about 1/6 way through it. OpenJDK just crashes at the menu when I start it. In 10.04 it ran fine, while in 11.04 it crashes. The Minecraft server runs perfectly fine; game crashes.
Any possible solutions?
(Sorry if this is the wrong section, didn't feel that this fit into technical support.)
Run minecraft from the terminal and post the error log when it crashes. It'll help us see what's going on.

This is definitely an odd one. There doesn't seem to be any errors. There are messages about failing to open input devices, but that should be normal.
You could always try to delete your ~/.minecraft/bin folder and forcing it to update.
It doesn't tell much. I says that it failed during the execution of a thread. The thread itself apparently failed. It seems to fail at some low level system call or something.
It says that you're using OpenJDK. Perhaps you could try using Oracle's JDK.
Install proprietary video drivers, install Oracle's Java runtime and try again.

The drivers are installed, and I have java runtime from java.com installed and removed OpenJDK. Still the same result. Except this time it renders the world, but crashes right before I actually see it.
That really sounds like driver issues to me. I was having issues as well with my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5950 or something along those lines.
The way I solved it was basically reinstalling the drivers until they decided to work. Try getting drivers directly from your graphics card vendor and install those.

Well that seems to have fixed it, thank you.
