Ran into a bug. How to reproduce: 1 - install a Minetest v0.4.6 deb binary on a Linux system. 2 - try to run 3 - watch it refuse to run when you start a new game.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

It runs fine for me on Linux
Also:

You should probably do what it says

This seems unrelated to Minetest.

Try disabling shaders.

I had similar error on another computer when I was trying to get minetest to run on it. It was using an integrated intel graphics card. Never could get it to work.

I've found a way to fix it- well, sort of. Editing minetest.conf to say:
"video_driver = software"
will allow it to launch. Granted, the graphics are quite buggy, but at least it launches. Oh, and make sure you don't turn fancy trees on (I tried), because that will cause a segfault, apparently.
Edit: eh, sorry. Apparently my brain is about 3 months behind.
