-Tested using fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10.
-Use guide at your own risk, I am not responsible if you break something
1. Get and install wine. Go to "Applications">"Ubuntu Software Center", then in the search bar type in "Wine", click on "Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Beta Release)" then click the arrow pointing right to the right side of it. Scroll down and hit install, and type in your password(if it asks for one)"
You must be using version 1.1.29 at least which is the beta release
2. You have to download the client. They say you should download it from here http://www.eveonline.com/download/ and get the windows version.
(I kept having an issue from that link, it would give a verification error after it downloaded so I used. http://games.softpedia.com/progDownload/EVE-Online-Full-Client-Download-10415.html Its the full client so it may take an hour or two to download)
3. Right click on what you downloaded and left click on "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader" (the official and what I used work the same from here on out)
4. Standard install wizard pops up, just hit next and accept all the way through it, default location is fine.
5. Go to Applications>Wine>Programs>EVE>Play EVE there you go you can now play eve on your linux box.
(if this step only gets you a splash screen for a few seconds then nothing continue reading for the fix)
6. Go to System>Administration>Other Software click on "Add", type in "ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa" then click "Add Source"
7. Go to System>Administration>Update Manager click "Check" then "Install Updates"
(this may take some time depending on when the last time you updated was)
8. Now download this:
Intel 32bit
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/%7Ekernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32-rc6/linux-headers-2.6.32-020632rc6_2.6.32-020632rc6_all.deb
then
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32-rc6/linux-headers-2.6.32-020632rc6-generic_2.6.32-020632rc6_i386.deb
then
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32-rc6/linux-image-2.6.32-020632rc6-generic_2.6.32-020632rc6_i386.deb
9. Go to where you downloaded them to and double click on them(one at a time) for both its will open a package installer and in the upper right corner click "install package"
Install in the order you downloaded them in
10. Go to Applications>Accessories>Terminal type in Terminal window "sudo update-grub"
type in password when asked
11.Shut Down
11.When you turn your computer back on start hitting Escape on your keyboard till grub pops up.
13. Select from the list "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-020632rc6-generic" (chances are good its the top option)
14. Log in go to Applications>Wine>Programs>Eve>Play Eve, if it says "Could not launch 'Play EVE" then go to Applications>Wine>Browse C:\ Drive>Program Files>CCP>EVE find eve.exe, right click and hit "Open with wine Windows Program Loader" it should load up in a few seconds
Have fun
Feedback is welcome, and if you can test this on other distros let me know so I know what it works with.
