How to make EVE online run smoothly in Ubuntu 10.04:
get the latest version of wine from www.winehq.org and install it.
Download winetricks and install d3dx9 from: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
you will also need an updated graphicsdriver.. you may/may not have some strange issues based on your graphics card manufacturer. I have an ati hd4890 and with the catalyst 10.04 driver everything seems to work fine :) If you run 2 monitors I recommend running separate desktops on the 2 screens.
Install EVE online with wine. recommend using the offline installer, as the online one tends to crash for some reason.
to avoid some random crashes launch eve with the command: wine explorer /desktop=EVE1,1920x1200 "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" this emulates a desktop in wine. replace 1920x1200 with the resolution of your monitor :)
this command can be launched from terminal, or simply added to a custom launcher in the Gnome menu: Go to System -> Preferences -> Main menu select the path in the menu where you want the EVE online Launcher (maybe the games folder?) click New Item Add the following values in the popup-window: Type: Application Name: Eve Online Command: wine explorer /desktop=EVE1,1920x1200 "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" Comment: *whatever you want? or leave it blank*
You can click the icon to the left to select a launcher image. remember to set the resolution according to your monitor.
Some tweaks to EVE to make it run: the jukebox makes wine crash. Dont know why. But renaming the jukebox folder is a way around the problem. Locate the jukebox folder. default location is: ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE/res/audio/jukebox rename it. (to something like jukebox_disabled)
***** For Ubuntu (and variations like Kubuntu, mint etc) *****
ubuntu and eve dont really like each other.. so to make it run you need to change a value in a configuration file for eve. open the file with the command: gedit ~/.wine/drive_c/users/*username*/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/CCP/EVE/c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility/settings/prefs.ini
if you installed eve to a custom location you will need to change the path to the file.
in that file you need to change the value bitsCancelled=1 to bitsCancelled=0
eve will reset the bitsCancelled value after the game has been started.. so after youve started it up for the first time, and adjusted your graphics (they are saved in that file) make the file read-only.
Easy way to do this is to locate the file in the file-browser, right-click -> Properties -> Permissions -> set Read-only for all users/groups.
**************************************************************
Some tweaks to make Wine better suited for gaming: open a terminal and run regedit
a window should open up with a folder-tree on the left you need to go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Wine
if there is already a folder there named Direct3D thats nice, if not: right-click - >new - >key set the name to Direct3D
IMPORTANT: all names in regedit are caps-sensitive (direct3d is NOT the same as Direct3D).
click on the Direct3D folder to highlight it. in the main window you need to make some Strings.
you do this by right-click -> new -> String Value
1st one: name: DirectDrawRenderer data: opengl 2: name: OffscreenRenderingMode data: backbuffer 3: name: UseGLSL data: enabled and last: name: VideoMemorySize data: the memorysize of your graphicscard in mb. you can usually find this in the configurations window for your graphics driver :)
to update the wine-registry run this command in terminal: wineprefixcreate
you will also have to run this command every time wine is updated to update the registry. Otherwise you may experience some major lag at startgates etc..
you may also want to disable audio in winecfg.
this worked for me, hope it does for you as well! any questions, feel free to ask. feedback much appreciated :)

I can just go with the repository Wine in 10.04 and do winetricks for d3dx9, the explorer window and everything works on my other (substantial) computer. On this netbook I have, though, I could get EVE to work in Windows but nothing I do seems to get it working in Wine.
It shows the splash screen, then everything goes black and the cursor changes to the EVE cursor, then it gives me the generic "Wine and/or this program screwed up".
In the console it progresses with some d3d-related errors, but the program doesn't fail until this line...
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x7e8ac920 at address 0x68bfaec0 (thread 001c), starting debugger... ------------------------------- The fox chases for her meal, but the rabbit runs for her life. |

Please stop with the bitsCancelled=0 workaround!
Read my post #66 for a better solution.

And, Aphoxema, assuming 10.4 is doing the same thing as 9.10 did then it'll probably solve your problem.

Hmm, reading the AppDB entry for Eve it's saying: ***NOTE: This issue is resolved with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS release*** - May, 5 2010 - Scot McPherson
So, both bitsCancelled=0 and my link are out of date.

Never seen that error before but I'm guessing you're missing the requisite OpenGL driver.

I followed your tutorial step by step, and the Eve launches fine, but had a weird bug... The EULA frame appears, but not it's content, and I can't scroll, so I can't accept...
Any ideas?
[PS] I'm sorry if I mis-spelled or mis-used some words, but I'm french...

thanks personthingy, Solbright and others - was a complete linux nubber a week ago and I tell you it's taken a LOT off faffing and arsing about the interwebs to get EVE running in Wine on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 64 bit - but damn - now that i've got it sussed it's dreamy!
just want to add that there is no "full screen" mode for wine apps so check out http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/2.27/panel-properties.html.en to free up desktop space claimed by gnome desktop panels I've had no problem with partially hidden panels but if you do read through http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482285

You need Arial font - sh winetricks corefonts

I already did it, but seems nothing has changed...
I finally copied it manually, as said in the post #4 of this page, and it's alright now

I've followed this through but can't get Eve to display correctly. My Eve shows up within the wine window as a small rectangle in the top left corner of the screen in an almost perfect mini version of the eve window. I'm new to linux, only installed yesterday so still trying to get to grips with it.
Here's what the terminal window displays:

Hi there.
the only problem im having running eve on linux so far is; it doesn't show me the terms and conditions, so i cant scroll to the bottom and accept them.
i also have no idea how to install winetrix to install direct x drivers.
any help would be great thanks.

Firstly, this guide is a little outdated since wine is now onto RC4 (at time of writing).
Check out the Guide I wrote Here a few days ago.
As for winetricks: here

dudes really you guys if you turned down playonlinux because of some random reason which i cant fathom reconsider it because play on Linux did all this for me except the fonts for some stange reason and it took me 3 minutes to get that far admittedly finding the playonlinux file took some tinkering "just needed to allow show hidden files to link the eve.exe" but it was as easy as and it worked as i said straight off apart from the fonts which i need to put in myself haven't done it yet and i will edit this post as needed

I just switched my laptop to Ubuntu and this guide was a great help. I also had difficulty with the EULA being blank. Which is because WINE doesn't have any fonts when its installed. I fixed that and did everything and it works great.
