Downloaded Minetest 5.8 but no menu

Downloaded Minetest 5.8 but no menu, only black screen. Please advise, thanks.

Which distro, wayland or x11?

Linux from Minetest.net

Which linux distribution are you running? Ubuntu? Mint?

I am using Linux Mint.

You might want to reach out to the authors. I think Mint can only run x11 right now, not sure if minetest needs wayland to run. Or if you could use xwayland to get around that - unsure how that works on mint.

thanks for the information
