Minecrafl launcher failed to launch the game

Game launcher failed to launch Minecraft with splash screen as attached. There's NO error log left behind, and there's no actual information about any problems or even warnings in launcher output log (see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24655546/).

Issue cannot be fixed by:

• clear installation of Minecraft
• updating drivers / java (as mentioned above, both are up to date)
• running MCL as administrator
• disabling AV software

NOTE: After downloading old launcher version (1.6.73) it's possible to launch the game (however, user is forced to reset all his/her settings), but this is NOT acceptable solution for this problem.

EDIT: Launcher log (510kB, plain ASCII) added. It is available also at http://paste.ubuntu.com/24659281/
