The team at Transgaming have finally done it. Exodus works on Linux thru WineX. With HL2 and CSS also working I no longer have a reason to use Windows XP on my main machine :) Hopefully I will have reports of WineX, EVE, and Mandrake 10.1 running on my AMD64/GeF6800 puter within the next few days.
Here is a screenie in the meantime from Transgaming's website :

Having been trained in Unix when it first was put on the market and later on Unix when it was released, and being completely unimpressed by it's capabilities, I've been a longtime detractor of anything Unix/Linux until recently.
I've been hearing much good things lately about the OS and this news has piqued my interest even more.
I look forward to your upcoming reports

I could never get the installer to work, every eve installer i've tried dies at the same point
and copying an install from elsewhere just causes eve to pump out python related errors
I would give it another go but I just trashed glibc and am rather screwed atm :>

It has been working since the Shiva beta, although there were some bugs. Since the release its working perfectly in fullscreen and somewhat buggy in a window (missing cursor). It's slower than under windows, tough. I'll try Cedega 4.2 (which has just been released) later. I'm playing under linux most of the time time now, just when i expect some fighting i boot into windows. There seems to be a little problem with the alignment of some textures, as you can see a thin distorted square on planets and ships.

Is there an easy way to dual boot Linux with Windows ME? I don't want to reinstall windows 98 on my system. How much does WinEx cost? I can research it and do it of course but I am busy so any help is appreciated.

Edited by: El***ER on 07/12/2004 23:04:02 tryed eve build 2942 on linux with cedega 4.1 demo about a week ago
Eve seemed to work and perform well - cursor was broken/invisible in windowed mode - switching from windowed to fullscreen caused eve to end (after eve restart the fullscreen mode was ok - even mouse pointer was working as intended) - character selection screen showed "you have been in corp for 409 years and ..." - wh000t - fps where very good/no graphic issues so far - undocking/docking/jumping worked - sound worked
waiting for a suitable payment option at transgaming :(
test was performed on gentoo linux - 64bit with 32bit libs installed amd64 3500+/1gb ram/gf6800 (thx to nv for 64bit drivers)/nfs root with copy of my windows eve/xorg and kde 3.3
winex/cedega cvs seam to be unable to work with Eve (see this page for possible details)

Edited by: Kaylona Tso on 08/12/2004 17:59:57 Ok good news bad news report Number 1:
My System :
AMD Athlong 64 3000+ ASRock SiS755 based mobo 1gig Corsair TwinX Cas2 DDR400 eVGA 6800 80gig WD 8mb Cache 7200RPM HD Toshiba DVD Player NEC DVD+R/RW
OK this is how installation went :
Mandrake 10.1 Official PowerPack Edition Installed with VESA drivers for video
You must install the kernel sources at OS installation time to install the Nvidia 6629 drivers
You must, before installing Nvidia drivers, RE-INSTALL using RPMDRAKE or the command line the Kernel SOURCE RPM... without this the Nvidia drivers will fail. This IS a documented error on the net for mandrake 10 and 10.1.
Once you do that you can then run the Nvidia setup as stated on their website, which includes running the script and editing the XF86Config.conf in the /etc/X11 directory. Note that Mandrake 10.1 uses X.org's version of Xfree86 however the xorg.conf is just a symbolic link to the XF86Config.conf in the same directory.
After this you must type as root modprobe nvidia to insert the new kernel interface into the kernel.
Download all the RPMs from transgaming.com for Cedega 4.2
RPM install Codega first, Point2Play second, MozCTL second ( this is a version of firefox that will be used when a browser is called from a game ) and then the fonts ( which may need to be installed after your games )
EVE ONLINE installed PERFECTLY. I installed off the CD I bought over a year ago. Gemini 934 IS NOT SUPPORTED or runs on my system. I then downloaded the 934 - 3007 patch and it installed PERFECTLY. I can get the main screen working and everything looks fine. I log in fine. I get to the Character selection and I get a CTD. I am going to try some manual options to pass to the game, such as making it think its Windows 2000 instead of 98. I think its a matter of some switches to get it to run.
To give you a heads up on performance I downloaded the steam client and installed it. It Installed Perfectly and the active x firefox you get with Codega works near flawlessly so you can see html pages just as you would in windows. I updated the steam client with Counter-Strike Source and went to find a pub. Ping was same as windows, fps was near same. I had an occasional stutter but 95% of the time I couldn't really tell the difference what OS was under me.

I really don't think the devs care about Eve on Linux. They're swamped with support problems now, let alone if they had to support an operating system like Linux.
I mean yeah, it's a great OS but supporting it is pure hell because all the distros do things slightly differently, and all the configuration is really up to the user.

Cedega 4.2 costs $5 a month I would rather buy another eve account. It's great you guys found that Eve now works on WineX unless the performance is MUCH better I will use Windows. I feel conflicted I hate Windows it's so... ordinary.

Cedega 4.2 costs $5 a month I would rather buy another eve account. It's great you guys found that Eve now works on WineX unless the performance is MUCH better I will use Windows. I feel conflicted I hate Windows it's so... ordinary.

Supporting more then one OS means that more time and resources must be allocated for each additional client OS version. Add to that that there are now multiple versions of the client, each with it's own bugs. Multiple-OS support is fine for stand alone games, but not for MMORPGs.

Good find ;) I'd been playing around with this for a few hours, and tried your cache idea. That got me into the game, and the other thread about the crosshairs (running evemouse& in the background) was very useful.
Since I haven't been playing lately other than skill changes and paying bills, I realized quickly that one of the main apparent problems is that any image that already isn't in the cache by startup can't be written to the cache (or so it seems). I clicked on someone in chat to test getting their pic and was CTD'd.
Anyway, as long as I don't try to get info on people and things, the basic functionality is there. I took a shuttle ride to another station, and the graphics look good, frame rate was maybe 1/2 (~18fps). I'm going to run down the CCP directory tree and give all the files/dirs all permissions in case there's that type of problem with cache. It appears (key word *appears) that Eve can't write to its cache at the moment, or at least I'm not finding new files there after running it. I'll edit this if I can ever get past the cache problem.

Oh yes:: Some trivia for the linux crowd:
Distro: Fedora core 3 (but all latest rawhide) HW: Abit NF2/2.4ghz athlon xp/ti4200 (old noname)/30 buck TB soundcard DualBoot: Win2k (just for eve) and FC3 (rawhide for everything else/work). Nvidia drivers: 6629, source glue modified by me as described on nvidia's linux forums. Very minor mod to run with kernel 2.6.10-rc3-bk5 (well, I think all kernels higher than 2.6.10-rc2-bk7).

I'm not sure how cedega translates filenames, but maybe the cache thingy is a case of bad upper/lower case files somewhere, or maybe the use of something*.* or similar instead of something* as it should be in linux... anybody tried running it as root?
Also, there is an option to retrieve pics from the server or to generate them locally, maybe changing that will help...

Nice try :) trying to hide your location - just not did a good enough job :) I guess you are in Poinen around planet V - moon 12 at the internal security assembly Plant are around 25 km from it, reading your selected Item screen in the top right side of your screen 
I lived in Poinen for some time no need to be ashamed - its an ok system |

Mav,
One or two things maybe of interest. If the first has nothing to do with it, check the second.
1) When cedega installs from the big .exe file, it creates a huge /tmp/*.tmp file (I've forgotten the exact name). This file winds up being the workspace for *all* the .stuff files, and is over a gigabyte before it winds up and cleans things. So .. You have to have about 2 free GB (probably more) to even contemplate installing the entire thing. Afterwards, you only need whatever size the ccp/eve dir holds. (~1GB)
2) If you have tons of free space in your / (whereever your /tmp folder is), then try unpacking that .exe file on windows just to be sure it came over the line ok.

If you get the latest 4.2 version of cedega, eve installs fine, and runs fine. The only problem I've noticed is firstly its slower fps, but also if you press esc, the game crashes.
HL2 on the otherhand runs just as quick under cedega as it does in windows, no noticble frame loss :)

Any thoughts?
I have tried fresh installs from both 3106.exe and 3007.exe as well as just the folder from my windows drive I get the same error with all of these.

If it helps anyone I've been using Slackware 10.1 (default kernel 2.4). The graphic drivers from Nvidia (because of my card ;) ), and Cedega 4.3 (not the latest one out now). This works well apart from white text in certain places, which I'm in the process of sorting out. All in all though I'm made up I may finally be able to play eve on linux.....
Now lets just see if I get two clients running on it at the same time......

I think the status of EVE under linux hasn't changed much at all. With a bit of help it loads and you can even undock and fly around a bit but it still crashes. I got that far about 6 months ago and heard no new developments yet.

im now running eve on suse 9.3 pro with cedega 4.3 and i havent gotten any crashes. the performance is a bit sluggish though still. but its just as good if not better then my secondary computer wich runs winxp and a GF3 card this computer that i run eve in linux on is a... AthlonXP 2800+ 1GB DDR400 Geforce FX5950
my only problem that i have left is to get the performance up a bit so i can finally get the ******* rid of windows and move completely to Linux.
and pls dont yap to me about bashing on windows, ive used all windows versions since windows 1.1 so i think ive had enough grief from running all those windows versions so i got the right to bash it abit :)

Originally by: Kaylona Tso The team at Transgaming have finally done it. Exodus works on Linux thru WineX. With HL2 and CSS also working I no longer have a reason to use Windows XP on my main machine :) Hopefully I will have reports of WineX, EVE, and Mandrake 10.1 running on my AMD64/GeF6800 puter within the next few days.
Here is a screenie in the meantime from Transgaming's website :
looki here looki here
I am mining in my linux powered Thorax right now :P, Teamspeak and all...

I get the occasional lag spike but windows is far more sluggish on my box, than linux is.
Feel free to bash on windows all you want 8 ) I get 40 fps when tooling around, 35 around gates, 43 when warping, and 25-30 when mining with 3 medium drones out.
It sounds like you just need to optimize your WineX instance...

I have been killing pirates, mining, jumping through a gate to a station to switch to combat ship, back to asteroid field for over 4 hours straight, without a single crash, all while running teamspeak. It crashes less than windows does for me LMFAO.
It's tempermental. You can only alt-enter once, to go to full screen. Second time crashes it. Sometimes mouse doesn't click where you are pointing. alt-enter to crash it on purpose, then restart game. If you know about these issues you just work around these limitations and it plays phenomenal. You get a feel for starting the game. The only issues for me occur during start up. A restart usually cures this and it will run for hours upon end without crashing. In windows the sound eventually starts breaking up after a few hours and I CTD quite frequently.
I am a oss programmer, by trade, and simply got fed up with the windows instability, despite using up to date drivers etc. the game would crash a lot. Game performance has never really been great in windows for me either. The servers I work on at work never crash so I figured I'd give fedora a try for gaming, since I already know some workarounds for some of the bugs and install gotchas ; )
It's a whole different feel to the game... It feels twice as fast. I don't know if it really is, but it's awesome. I am not looking back yet.
AMD64 3200+ 1GB ddr400 GeForce FX5700 128 RH FC3 - 32 bit Kernel update rpm 27 (35 breaks cedega) recompiled alsa kernel modules (since 27 has fubar'd sound drivers) Cedega 4.3.2 Windows 98 instance type full screen in a 1024*768 WineX tty. It's full screen inside of a window, if that makes sense... All graphics options selected...

I'll deal with the second point first. I don't care if you've been using windows since 1.1, I've been using MS OSs since MS DOS (though I always prefered IBM DOS) and my Grandad has been using computers since they introduced ticker tape. We both however use Windows out of choice and despise Linux. Does that give us a right to bash Linux? No, it just means that we have our personal preferences. That quite simply is the fact of the matter, all OSs have bugs, instabilities and genral problems. They are all however good for different things. So any and all flaming is stupid.
Now, to the first point, what happens when a patch comes out that causes Linux to be unable to run Eve? I'm sure there'll be people who'll come here and start crying about it. So do yourself a favour and hang on to Windows, you're going to need it eventually.

you dont get it do you?
btw... this is Malkens other character. first you need a bit of a lesson in Operating systems history. MS windows didnt become a fully fledged operating system until the GUI was fully integrated with the NT core wich makes all previous windows just that GUI's and yes ive been working with computers a long time and i started with that around 1978. you do the math. i have run extensively just about all operating systems out there. i even got my old MS-OS/2 in a box here. and not to forget all the boxes of MS windows versions and Dos versions and unix and netware versions i have. yeah i save them all. heck i even got a couple of BEos discs around. personally i dont care what OS you bash, its your choice if you are that narrowminded. i do have many years experience of microsoft products and theres alot about them that i do not like and propably never will. so i think ive earned the right to say what i want about microcrap products. with eve working somewhat good so far on linux i am one step closer to getting rid of windows on my computers.
and when there is a eve patch that stops eve from functioning on linux well then alot of ppl that are alot smarter then you sit down and solve that problem.

Originally by: Xendie personally i dont care what OS you bash, its your choice if you are that narrowminded.
Point out where I was bashing an operating sytem.
Oh, and you've just called yourself narrowminded and proved my point:
Originally by: Xendie so i think ive earned the right to say what i want about microcrap products.
Originally by: Xendie and when there is a eve patch that stops eve from functioning on linux well then alot of ppl that are alot smarter then you sit down and solve that problem.
I'm sorry I didn't realise you had telepathy working through the internet. You have no idea of my intellect or lack thereof so stop making assumptions. Though you are right, many people will work to solve the problem but this will take time and as I said many people will just whine on the forums.
Edit: missed a quote tag.

Well I got around to installing Ubuntu last night and Cedega 4.3.2 and though I'd give Eve a go.
I copied my Windows installation to ~/TransGaming_Drive/Program Files/CCP/Eve/ and then fired it up. The splash came and went and I was left with nothing .
Then I remembered to reset the permissions for the directory so I could write to it . Opened it up again and everything worked flawlessly. I undocked, flew around, jumped a system or two, did a show info on some people (this took a while and caused everything to freeze), jumped back and docked. Even the 'ESC' menu worked because I turned sound on to hear that wonderful sexy new voice.
The only problems I encountered were;
- Freezing while doing a show info - 2 buttons missing on the left hand side menu (they were red blocks). - Changing resolution did nasty things. - Performance chopped in half.. under Windows on the same PC I average about 45-50fps but under Linux it was down to about 20. Which is understandable given the extra amount of work the applications are doing (OpenGL please ).
I can't say I'll ditch Windows yet but thats only because of the slower performance. If that improves then MS is out of here!

Note - WineX or anything simmilar isn't really "running under UNIX". As long as you are running under any form of Windows, the instability, secutiry holes, and so on are still there.

Yeah, because Linux/Unix never gets hacked and when it doesn't files aren't replaced with recompiled files containing malcious commands.

Okay, who is responsible for resurrecting this atrocity?
