The EVE Launcher is now available for Linux. Note that this does in no way suggest that CCP is officially supporting Linux - this is just something I've been working on as a side project, and basically comes out of the work I've done for adding Wine support to the launcher for Mac.
This launcher is a native Linux application that downloads a version of Wine built by me, from the same source as the Wine version running on the Mac.
As we don't officially support Linux the test coverage is rather poor. I have an Ubuntu machine on my desk, and CCP Maxwell one on his. We've had some brave volunteers try this out and the results have been promising - we've had positive reports from players on Arch and Debian as well as Ubuntu.
If this doesn't work on your setup, please tell us here on the forums, I'll see what I can do but don't expect support from Customer Service - we don't have the bandwidth to add another supported platform.
If I haven't scared you off and you want to give this a try, get the launcher binaries from here: https://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher-1043593.tar.gz
Unpack this to your home directory (or wherever you prefer).
Run the evelauncher.sh shell script GÇô this sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that the evelauncher executable finds Qt in the installation folder. IGÇÖd recommend running it from a terminal to begin with so you get the error output in case there are missing dependencies.
Please let us know how this goes, and if you install any packages to get it to run, please keep track of them and let us know.

Seems to perform quite well with normal flying around on multiple accounts, good windowing, etc. Please note that this installs the following stuff:
- ~/evelauncher or wherever you untarred this to has the intial wine and qt install.
- ~/EVE has EVE SharedCache
- ~/.eve has the updater updates
- ~/.cache/CCP/EVE has the QtWebEngine
- ~/.config/CCP has the eve launcher configuration to set DX9 etc
- ~/EVE/SharedCache/wineenv/drive_c has your wine environment
- ~/EVE/SharedCache/wineenv/drive_c/users/${USER}/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/CCP/EVE/c_tq_tranquility/ has your eve configurations like overviews etc (used to live in ~/.wine/drive_c/users/${USER}/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE)
- ~/Documents/EVE gets captures and logs
- ~/.QtWebEngineProcess is created and empty
- ~/.EVE is empty
It would be convenient if some of these were relocated a little better, like collapsing evelauncher into subdirectories, with some of these things layered under there. Or standardize on ~/EVE with subdirectories, or .eve or .EVE or .config etc. Maybe change the evelauncher to untar to EVE/evelauncher with the evelauncher.sh in the EVE directory? Really appreciate your support for the community, Snorlax. It means a lot to those of us who use Linux.

PS. If anyone needs an overview with the new settings requirement, feel free to use mine: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=6070894 I moved the shared cache under the ~/.eve folder, the ~/EVE folder is probably from testing that prerelease version from last week.

Nope, was created and populated by your launcher. I confirmed all these file and directory creations by a date search. Oh, I missed one, ~/.nv/GLCache for your glcache. Doh, I forgot to update the version file - the launcher in the download link will downgrade to the previous version. This explains the folder locations not being what they're supposed to. I've updated the file now
This will mean that the shared cache will have to be downloaded again, and the wineenv folder will be reconstructed. My apologies for this oversight.

Also can we do something about optimus? Currently I'm editing evelauncher.sh to add primusrun, but it resets after downloading new launcher version.
Also https does not work in IGB. I'm planning on making the shared cache location configurable, expect that sometime next week.
The https issue should be fixed later today.
I'll think about a proper solution for optimus - for now, you could copy the evelauncher.sh outside the evelauncher folder and edit it appropriately, then it won't get overwritten by updates.

It will fail miserably - Wine has enough DX11 support to make EVE think it's running on DX11 but not enough to actually run it.

I've updated the Wine version used by the launcher to use libgnutls, so https connections should now work in the ingame browser.
The Wine version is wine-1.9.10-ccp-daily-16 - if you haven't messed with Wine options you should automatically get that latest version.
There is a caveat, though - it insists on loading libgnutls.so.26 - I haven't figured out yet how to get it to load without the version number. If you don't have this version (I did not on my Ubuntu 15.10 system) then symlinking it to the latest should work.
This worked for me - use at your own risk:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.26

I'd love to be able to keep any global settings (e.g. custom build options or USE flags in Gentoo). Obviously that comes with the risk of wine changes breaking the client, but you could just add a disclaimer to that effect and let us do it at our own risk. This is the plan, yes, not sure when I get the chance.

Rumat wrote:Cheers to Kismeteer who pointed out some technical details. If you like me moved to this from running under Wine you accordingly might want to do these things:
- To keep your settings, move the according settings-folder(s) (you might have several, each one has the folders "settings" and "cache") from $HOME/.wine/drive_c/users/$USER/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE to $HOME/.eve/wineenv/drive_c/users/$USER/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/c_tq_tranquility (name it like settings_YOURNAME and you will be able to choose between different ones in the launcher with YOURNAME).
- To keep your old logs in the same place as the new ones (from chats etc.) copy/move $HOME/EVE to $HOME/Documents/EVE.
Ingame browser produces crashes (Debian Jessie), but limited to the tab/browser, so I stayed logged in at least (i.e. the client didn't crash entirely). Any hints how to get that 32Bit library to a 64Bit installation on Debian? Or even better, how to get it to use the amd64 version? Shouldn't that be able to handle any 32Bit requests as well? Or will this be included in the "binary package"? The ingame browser works fine on my machine, Ubuntu 15.10. Not sure what is causing it to crash for some players.

What gets downloaded in this native version of the launcher?
Is it possible to copy/paste what I already have so it doesnt download anything else besides the special wine and special settings?
Sorry, must have overlooked this.
Sure, you can copy the shared cache. Install the native launcher, then copy the shared cache from the Wine installation over to ~/.eve before starting it up.
The shared cache will be somewhere under your Wine env folder (~/.wine by default) - should be a folder called SharedCache next to the Launcher folder.

That should work - the graphs use the Arial font.

I'm a bit surprised actually, as even the CQ is working correctly. Mint 17.3 running Kernel 4.6.1 on AMD FX-8350 with an AMD HD8870 on my desktop, and a A4-3320M (HD 6480G on die) on my laptop.
As I can't say it runs 100% flawlessly, to report what I can, if I run in terminal, after initial run where it setup first-run information, it complains about not finding QT locales, and it can't find Steam API information, but neither have any effect on my usage. Those are the only things I've seen so far.
Your effort is really appreciated. Thanks, it's always nice to hear about the good things as well as the problems. You tend to get a skewed view of the world from the forums where people usually go to get help for issues.
Those errors from Qt and Steam are harmless, I just haven't found a way to silence them.

Mint 17.2 You are missing the Arial font. Are you using the Linux launcher? It should provide the font. If you are running your own Wine setup then you can use winetricks to get the font.

I can start the launcher, launch 1, 2 or 3 clients and they all run AOK. However over the next 5-10 minutes the evelauncher will eat ALL of my available RAM until it starves out the clients and everything else.
I let it run today to see how high the RAM usage of the launcher would get and after 15 minutes it was using 19% CPU and 7.2GB of RAM.
I can then close all of the clients and the launcher just eats the freed RAM from them until the system is maxed again.
I am running: Debian 8 x64 but have it setup for multi arch. Gnome 3 NVidia proprietary drivers, updated as of today.
I'm not sure where to look to figure out whats going on. Curious! Please file a bug report and attach the launcher logs. Go to the E menu, Show in File Browser, Launcher logs, that should open the folder where the launcher logs are stored.

The good thing about exefile is you can see all the wine whine in console. With the launcher, it's all silent and spooky and no error messages. You just press a button, it turns green then it turns white and nothing. If it happens and no exefile, what do? If you run from the Linux launcher, you can see the Wine output in LogLite. You can set the WINEDEBUG value in the launcher settings from the E menu - you'll get the same level of output as you do from the command line.
If you run the Windows launcher from Wine, you should get the Wine output in the console from the game as well.

It's probably easiest to install the Wine package - this will pull down all the dependencies for Wine, even if you then use the Wine build that the launcher downloads.
So try apt-get install wine, then run the launcher again.

Have a look here -+ https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=495016 Hopefully CCP Snorlax is including that patch in future versions .... I've now fixed this in the dev version of the launcher, will promote to release soon.

Is there any chance we get a permanent symlink to the latest version so we can create a script which fetches the latest version in case of a new install? Would be really great to make a wrapper script we can distribute with regular distributions. http://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher_linux_release.json tells you what the current release is of the launcher - you could use that to determine the url for the latest release.
There are similar urls for beta and dev versions.

and second, after deprecate support of DX9, will EVE Launcher start EVE on Linux? Maybe with other technologies except dx11, such as Vulkan? cause as I know, wine can support only DX9 yet. :( The launcher always updates automatically.
Don't have an answer for the second question, sorry.
