Signal 6 received while installing

I am installing mcpelauncher and providing an .apk file. It is a x86 version.

It is fine while extracting the apk until it gets to "18:54:29 Trace [Launcher] Loading Minecraft library"

This is the terminal output:

18:54:29 Trace [Launcher] Loading Minecraft library

In the meantime, i will try a different APK, just to be sure that it is not a corrupt apk file.

Good idea, I haven't had that problem yet

----- Update -----
I have tried using a different APK file and have had the same result

• Please remove the previous version of the launcher
• Install the current version https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-wiki/blob/Update-wiki-for-ng/getting_started.rst, current wiki still missleading.
• Install all updates of the launcher
• remove the imported apk in settings
• login to Google Play
• press download and play

Importing Google Play apks from the internet is deprecated, you have to own the game (Play store)

Great thanks! How do I uninstall the older version of the launcher?

[ChristopherHX]

depends on how you installed it

ubuntu packages
sudo apt remove mcpelauncher-client mcpelauncher-ui-qt msa-ui-qt msa-daemon

AppImage delete the file
