After 15.10 update, I can't play Minecraft or FTB

Question

I have been able to play Minecraft fine earlier, with Xubuntu 15.4. Yesterday when I updated to 15.10 I am unable to play online. Here is the launch log. I have tried reinstalling both Minecraft itself and Java. I seem to have another problem with Feed the Beast (a modpack client for Minecraft) that gives me these errors:

Authlib checksum download failed, please check log for bad SSL 
certificates: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: 
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: 
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to
find valid certification path to requested target

Here is another error from the FTB launcher:

SSL handshake failed. Something might be altering SSL certificates
Certificates are not trusted by JVM certificate chain
Certificate chain will be printed in debug logging level
Authlib Download Failed

And another one:

No usable authlib available. Please check your firewall rules and network 
connection. Can't start MC without working authlib. Launch button will be 
disabled.

For the record; I am not using a firewall and I have chmod +x every .jar file. I have searched around on several Minecraft and FTB forums for answers, but I havn't found any.

I think there is a possibility that these problems are related, but someone that knows more than me can probably prove me wrong.

I'd appreciate any help given.

Thanks!

EDIT: After a week with no responses I've almost given up. I still can't figure out what to do.

EDIT: I've removed oracle-java and replaced it with open-jdk-8. Now I get this error: Recognized exception: the likely cause is a set of broken/missing root-certificates. Check your java install and perhaps reinstall it.

Unable to download remote file. Check your internet connection/proxy settings.

    at net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap.execute(Bootstrap.java:95)
    at net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:381)


Please fix the error and restart.

I have messed around a bit and added a certificate to the jre/lib/security/cacerts file. With this I made some progress, now the log looks like this:

To me this still looks like a problem with the certificates, but to be honest I don't know very much about things like this. Thanks for any eventual help. I'm still lost here. Does anyone have any idea of where to start?

Ok, now I've got some help, but I can't seem to figure out how to this anyway. I have tested follow versions of Java:

Oracle Java 8
OpenJRE 8
Oracle Java 9

After testing and working with the awesome people in the FTB IRC, we got it to work. We changed a few things around (like linking cacerts into java's binary), but what actually fixed it was this command. Here you go :)

sudo update-ca-certificates --fresh

The answer is to actually install java the right way at the first time, I have issues on the main machine I was trying to use even after this partly, what happened was I wrote a wrong command and everything got messed up.I tried to remove the package ca-certificates and it brought down half of Ubuntu... a clean re-installation with hours of reconfiguration was the result, so I can't recreate the issue anymore. To the solution now : I suggest you remove every java installation and clean the folder for java manually as well. Now you could install a package called default-jre and that should do the trick. What it does is that it installs a package called ca-cetficates-java

sudo apt-get install default-jre

    The following extra packages will be installed:
  ca-certificates-java default-jre-headless fonts-dejavu-extra java-common libatk-wrapper-java libatk-wrapper-java-jni libgif4 libgnomevfs2-0       libgnomevfs2-common libsctp1 lksctp-tools openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jre-headless tzdata-java

it will then bring the certificates needed for minecraft to work! it is as simple as that.

OLD:I have the same issue, it needs still more certificates but the latest error log doesn't say what site it tries to reach. a solution would be to make java accept any certificate. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1828775/how-to-handle-invalid-ssl-certificates-with-apache-httpclient

Thank you! But I don't quite understand how to do it, even with the link you posted.. — 075, Nov 20, 2015 at 20:14
I have updated my answer, I hope it helps you, it seems it was much easier than what we expected after all. — TheNano, Nov 22, 2015 at 9:29
Thanks very much for taking your time to help me, but sadly, this still didn't work. I still have the same error. I might just have to reinstall my whole system. :| — 075, Nov 22, 2015 at 12:42

I was having this problem, but sudo update-ca-certificates --fresh didn't fix it. Turns out my version of icedtea was outdated relative to my verion of nss.

I could solve that error by using openjdk-8 instead of openjdk-11. To find out which version of java you use, type java --version in your terminal. By default, openjdk-java is installed at /usr/lib/jvm/java-$version-openjdk-$platform (where $version is the version e.g. 8 and $platform is the platform e.g. amd64). Should you find version 8 there, you can run the launcher with /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java -jar FTB_launcher.jar
