Commander Godsmack Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 5	Posted - 2012.05.24 05:17:00 - [1] - Quote Ok so sometime about a year ago i tried taking a crack at linux; was all well except amd driver for my card at the time just didnt cut it. Now Im back again and something things have changed and things, aswell as getting a brand spanking new computer after 5 years of old one im givving linux a second try for various things one of which of too test out how the proprietary drivers work out. Anyway what i could use is a simple walk-through of how to get eve to run in linux; to start Ubuntu is probably prefernced but atm on my prototyping hdd im testing out ubuntu 12.04 and linux mint 12; (possibly more well to come but this is all on test hdd). Good response to the above will go will likely save me lots of time in being able to use this thread as a one stop shop xzy .. well you get what mean. this op is in two parts/ below for my eve question (piont of this thread) and second part is just some questions to a communtity why installing linux didnt go smoothly Now heres what i have done so far to try get eve running on linux = 1. On blank HDD I installed ubuntu 11.10; from here i immeidately upgraded to 12.04 (if wonder why i went this way there is more info below but prob not relevant to the issue of getting eve to work) 2. I opened up the software center and installed wine from there (and i took the download as is = i did not add or remove anything to be installed); this also installed mscorefonts 3. I downloaded the windows eve.exe file 4. I Ran the eve installer with wine 5. I let it do its thing 6. Eve is now installed; the launcher comes up fine 7. Seeing as everything seems to be working great... I click Play 8. Nothing Happens 9. NAO WHAT!?!!??!? BELOW = IGNORE UNLESS BORED Irrelvant info to the above issue but this is a linux community so here this goes if somebody is bored and can tell me about this.. HDD History I am testing out linux on a brand new 500 GB Seagate drive. First pass I tried installing ubuntu 12.04 from flash drive, the install was working until i got some fatal error telling me that the grub file wouldn't install or was corrupted ( i forget now). I proceeded to opt for now continiuing the installation and then just wiping the drive from my main HDD (which for somereason in windows led to it showing a smaller drive afterwards).then i also make a couple partions with easus manager to make room to test different linux os. I try to install 12.04 from the flash drive to find that the flash drive dosnt work anymore and im just left with a blank screen and a white ticker in upper left hand corner. I then try to install Linux Mint 12 KDE 64 bit frrom dvd and this went without a hitch... until i tried rebooting after the install to find that it wouldnt boot (whit ticker again) Then I Take a Ubuntu 11.10 cd which i KNOW will install and use that.. It installs and now the drive will boot- and it also shows the mint os which will now boot. After this I upgraded from the 11.04 to 12.04. That is the 100% history of this drive barring anything that may have happened over at manufacturer. basically from that i want to know why ubuntu didnt install the first time and why my ubuntu usb stick dosnt work anymore, whats the grub file all about, and how come linux miont wasnt able to boot on its own before succesful unbuntu installation.

Didnt work; still nothing happens when i click "play"
Commander Godsmack Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 5	Posted - 2012.05.29 08:53:00 - [3] - Quote Update: Just tried launching eve directly from where the .exe is installed and i get this = Archive: /home/satellite/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE/eve.exe [/home/satellite/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE/eve.exe] End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. note: /home/satellite/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE/eve.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/satellite/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE/eve.exe or /home/satellite/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE/eve.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/satellite/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE/eve.exe.ZIP, period. English ploxxeee??

So I copy pasted those two commands into the terminal; WINEDLLOVERRIDES="... just give me a new new line idk if im supposed to see something. When i tried to input the path, wine Home/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE/bin/ExeFile.exe or wine PATH_TO_EVE/bin/ExeFile.exe I get wine: cannot find 'Home/.wine/drive_c/Program' wine: cannot find 'PATH_TO_EVE/bin/ExeFile.exe'

Well that worked! sort of... it now loads the login screen and has a familiar blank EULA iirc i need to copy paste some fonts? Also loading is rather slow and and the login screen came up it seemed to lock up my computer as it wouldn't respond to my mouse or any keyboard commands (at least on hdd using linux mint - im testing this out simultaneously on laptop with a vm running ubuntu and on there i was able to ctrl+alt+T sudo xkill; would this be something between ubuntu vs mint or host vs vm?)
