Can't start minion anymore

I'm having a weird issue with minion on my Linux machine, I followed the instructions on how to install and also got it working.

Didn't use minion for a while then (about 2 months or so), and now I can't start it anymore.
It keeps throwing exceptions on startup (Only visible when starting from terminal), and the window is not fully shown, just the border. There it hangs forever, see terminal.txt. minion.log is also included, but probably not helpful.

After some testing, I found out that it seems to be an issue with the proprietary NVIDIA Driver, maybe an update broke this. When I switch to the free nouveau driver, I can start minion normally and it works as intended (Systemdetails: system.txt).

I installed it like this: "Minion-jfx.jar" + "lib" and the required java-runtime in the same directory, with a startscript containing the following:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#Start minion addon manager
export PATH=./jdk1.8.0_311/bin:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME=./jdk1.8.0_311
java -jar Minion-jfx.jar
Feel free to ask for more information, I'm glad to help solving this.

Thanks and Regards,
