I am so trying this, as soon as I can figure out how to dual-boot my main gaming box. I installed Ubuntu last night but ofr some reason Grub didn't install...
I'm so stoked about this. The only other thing I need to get running on Linux is BF2142 and then I can finally ditch Windows for good. WOOT!

Ok I've got Ubuntu running, and I've read through the entire thread. While it's great that CCP is working on a linux version of Eve, I'm impatient, and bolstered by others' success I'm soldiering on.
My first stumbling block is that when I go here
http://www.winehq.com/site/download-deb
for the Wine source code, and then follow the instructions, the version of Wine that I get is 0.9.22. The directory to apply the patch does not exist, and that's where I am stuck. How are you guys getting 0.9.26?
*EDIT
I found it by clicking the link on the bottom of that page:
http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html
However, I'm currently compiling (I think--it's all greek to me) the .22 version and I don't want to interrupt that so trying out the newest version will have to wait.
Thanks.

So I can't figure out how to get to the directory to install the patch to. I'm really new to this...
Anyway, I found a link that describes how to install Wine to work with WoW, and I figured the installing Wine part can't be that different. (I'm not installing WoW-I actually just canx'd my account :) ) Once it's done compiling I'll try from there.
Actually, it looks like it will take a while, so I'm off to bed. I'll post all about my success later. :) (Like my optimism?)
Cheers!

Ok, so I got further - I guess there's a problem with 0.9.26. I compiled 0.9.25 and it runs fine (to the login screen anyway - it's downtime at the moment :P)
More results later
Gwm
Good to hear. I'm at work for the next 10 hours so no tinkering until then :(
Let us know how it goes when you get a chance. Cheers!

Don't think there is a problem with 9.26. I'm running that and had the client up and playing all night last night.
Can you briefly list what you did, if it's not too much trouble? Did you have to install Nvidia's proprietary drivers (if you're using Nvidia anyway)?
Thanks!

I got to the Revelations splash screen, but then it sits there for about a minute and then dumps me out. I'm using 0.9.26 and I'm stuck... I'll report any progress if I have some...

Oops about the root thing. Yeah I know now how bad that is--forgive me, I've only been running Ubuntu since last Thursday :) I couldn't get "sudo" commands to work at the time. No worries, I'm not above reinstalling Ubuntu again in order to fix things if need be.
Can't wait to se what tonight's patch will do for us hopeful linux gamers. Cheers.

When you say you got it working +patch, what patch are you refering to? I've just installed Wine via Automatix (latest version) and now I'm d/l the Eve client. Please can you clarify the patch you mentioned? thx.

Heh. Ok, I got excited when a poster somewhere (maybe here) said he got it to run just like you said.
I've been trying this for a while now, from Wine .26. I've also been following so many posts on many different forums that it's becoming hard to remember which I've replied to and where lol.
I'll try that later tonight, thanks.
