Solution 1:

Update your drivers to the latest version, and also Minecraft. I'm sorry I don't know more about running Minecraft on Ubuntu...

Solution 2:

I don't know much about Ubuntu, but several similar reports suggest that this is a problem with Nautilus in 11.04 and nothing to do with Minecraft. Unfortunately, not much is offered in the way of advice, beyond sudo killall nautilus after the crash to get things working again.

General troubleshooting may still help, however:

1. Ensure your drivers (especially video) are up to date.
2. Upgrade the copy of LWJGL embedded in Minecraft.
3. Minecraft has been known to sometimes run better in Wine than natively. If you have Wine installed, it's worth a shot.

Solution 3:

I use the java command to increase the max memory allowed for the game and it makes in way less buggy on 64bit Ubuntu. like

 java -Xmx2048M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft.jar

that will run it at 1GB of ram to 2 GB of ram allocated.
