BTW, requesting closing of my old Ubuntu LTS thread. With the new launcher, I think it might just have too much noise.
I would also request that we get a streamlined thread on how to untar and run the launcher for newbies. Something like:
- Download the linux launcher: (link to actual up to download site, with latest launcher) or https://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher-1043593.tar.gz
- Untar the launcher in your home directory. ex: tar -zxvf Downloads/evelauncher*.tar.gz
- Go into that directory and launch evelauncher.sh script: cd ~/evelauncher; ./evelauncher.sh
- Play eve. It will download the stuff (insert different directory it goes into.)

Installing corefonts + tahoma through winetricks fix IGB crashes for me. But https doesn't work. At this night I'll try to check advice about 32-bit version of gnutls. Thanks! This helped me with the IGB crashes as well. Still can't reach sites via https though. I'm on Arch 64bit. I linked lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 9. Jun 18:49 /usr/lib32/libgnutls.so.26 -> libgnutls.so to no avail. Any ideas? Finally got it to work by turning off "use dev version" in the launcher's wine settings. |

Hi,
Maybe a stupid question but I'm completely new to Linux or Ubuntu. Do I need to install wine from an other source, and downloading the eve launcher from the eveonline site?

I believe the installer has its own version of WINE.
But having a current Wine install is good for running other applications.
You can use the version available in the Software Manager or follow the instructions here:
http://linuxg.net/install-wine-1-9-on-ubuntu/
Just copy and paste the commands into your terminal window

You do not neet to install wine - the evelauncher downloads wine and EVE automatically.
But you should first install playonlinux. It's a nice wine frontend tool and UI. You don't actually need the playonlinux UI for EVE though. It just also installs some libraries that are needed.
playonlinux is in Ubuntu "multiverse" repository.
Press Windows key (or click Ubuntu symbol - topmost on unity launcher) - type "software" - you'll see "Software & Updates". Start that, on the first tab make sure that "Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse)" is selected.
After that you can install playonlinux with sudo apt install playonlinux in terminal or via the "Ubuntu Software" application.
After that the evenlauncher should run, it install all that you need for eve and you can play after the downloads are finished.

Kniht wrote: I used fixed window mode and clients always open on the primary, which is where the launcher is; this is what I want probably two thirds of the time, so I have not tried to change it. I'm also using XFCE, and I use alt+drag to move the borderless, fixed-window-mode clients around as needed. Changing settings in the escape menu when the client is on a non-primary monitor sometimes moves them to the primary when I close the menu. I move the window back when that happens, and, while annoying, I probably won't be editing settings often enough to worry about it.
I set the window size (for fixed window mode) by editing core_public__.yaml, as I said earlier, because of similar difficulties. Have you tried selecting fixed window mode in the client, getting the window resolution you want, and then moving the window to where you want it? Does that work for you?
I had done something similar to fix this. Instead of doing the alt+drag I had a script associated with the "windows key + right key" hotkey that would move the window to the next screen. This worked fine. Now the only problem is the control key getting stuck and some other weird key behavior. |

Well, this is disappointing. I see several other people on Gentoo get it running no problem...and then there's me.
The launcher loads up mostly proper, but when I click play, the blue line cycles for a bit...and then nothing. There's isn't any output on the terminal. |

Hmm. Downloaded evelauncher-1043593.tar.gz. Unzipped it into a subdirectory, went to the directory with the shell script, so pwd shows: /dakka/frits/EVELINUX/evelauncher En then I do: ./evelauncher.sh /dakka/frits/EVELINUX/evelauncher/./evelauncher: 1: /dakka/frits/EVELINUX/evelauncher/./evelauncher: Syntax error: ")" unexpected

Hey @CCP Snorlax. Launcher works great.
Can you include an EVE icon in the next release? I'd like to use it for my menus/icon launcher. |

Sorry if it was already explained earlier, but is there some simple way to copy settings from my existing eve installation? Alternatively - can I change the wine prefix and/or wine binary path?
If that was already explained earlier, please add a copy or at least a link to the first post so that it could be easily located.
Open your eyes. And awaken.

First of all a big THANKS @CCP Snorlax - your work is very much appreciated!
And since there seems to be need for a desktop file - here is one:
EVE Online Linux-Launcher .desktop-File
How to use:
- extract archive to the folder where your "evelauncher.sh" is located - edit the paths in "evelauncher.desktop" according to your Installation - move the "evelauncher.desktop" to one of the following locations
- ~/.local/share/applications/ (for single-user)
- /usr/share/applications/ (for all users)
- ~/Desktop/ (for single-user Desktop-Icon only)
Hope this helps. The launcher-Icon was extracted from the new Windows-Launcher - so it should fit nicely.
Cheers, Nerd |

Hey CCP Snorlax! We talked at fanfest about this client for a while on pub crawl. Thank-you so much for doing this.
I just tried installing it but I'm getting a few errors. When I executed evelauncher.sh I got these errors http://pastebin.com/bq7PstUA
Seeing how steam was mentioned a few times, I loaded up a non-wine version of steam. Now I'm receiving these errors. http://pastebin.com/83YT9aGp
The issue seems to have something to do with these lines
t WebEngine locales directory not found at location /home/bryz/Downloads/Programs/EVE/evelauncher/qtwebengine_locales. Trying fallback directory... Translations MAY NOT not be correct. [0621/045739:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(291)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale [S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; no appID found. Either launch the game from Steam, or put the file steam_appid.txt containing the correct appID in your game folder.
If anyone could offer some suggestions or clarifications id greatly appreciate it.
Edit: Forgot to mention that i'm running Manjaro Linux with KDE. |

Okay. This is awesome. Thanks CCP Snorlax for a few reasons: 1) Extended the life of my POS laptop (and I'm not talking Player Owned Station) 2) Fixes *this* issue with my Intel HD Graphics card and gives sharper graphics to boot: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=200609

Gave it a shot with a brand new test install of Linux Mint 18 (still beta).
Ran the evelauncher.sh and it starting doing things and looked very promising. Unfortunately the download hung. I ctrl-D'd it a few times, then decided to be nice and let it run overnight....definitely was hanging on download. After more ctrl-d and then restarting it via cli, it did finish up all the things. Unfortunately the paly button and the manual server launch buttons didn't seem to launch a client at all.
I installed playonlinux, which appears to have installed old wine 1.6.2. Now it seems to be at least launching the client. I'm curious if it is playing with the eve-wine-1.9 or if it is using ancient 1.6.2.
Initially framerate was sort of low, but then it popped up to where it should be. |

Hi,
Can someone explain to me a step by step laymen terms guide how to make this happen? I'm a recent first time user of linux, and so I went with Ubuntu 16.04. I downloaded and unpacked, I opened terminal and went to the correct directory and tried to run evelauncher.sh however it said I had no permission, aside from that... I do not have wine or playonlinux, never used those things either, according to this thread I do not need them, so I'd like it to remain that way since I don't plan on playing anything else but EVE anyways.
Thanks.
Edit: Got it to work, where the hell is it installing? o.O |

It installs into that directory you unpacked it too. to launch it again, just go into that directory, and run evelauncher.sh again. (or bash evelauncher.sh if it says the permissions thing.) |

so I always have to use terminal to launch? do I have to keep terminal open?
also when I check the shared cache folder it says it's in home/username/.eve, what does .eve mean? I don't see that folder at all when i look for it |

I just gave this a whirl, and it worked without a hitch on Arch.
Just one rather minor complaint: I don't suppose the windows could identify themselves via xhints prior to loggin in a character? I use this to sort clients on different window manager tags for easier multiboxing. They all have the same xhints on startup though, which makes this impossible. I was using wine virtual desktops before, and using a shell script to manage launching things, but the new launcher is quite nifty with its multi account support, and I'd love to use that. That makes using multiple virtual desktops impossible, though.
After logging in, game windows have a title "EVE - Character Name", which makes perfect sense. Before logging in a character, they all have the same title: "EVE". I don't suppose this could be changed to something like "EVE - account.name"? If you don't want to mess with the title, which is visible in the window decoration, messing with window class (currently "Wine") or instance (currently "exefile.exe") would be fine by me too.
Or do you guys have any better ideas? |

EDIT: for some weired reasons the launcher needs administrative rights. Thats not good, but however running sudo ./evelauncher.sh No protocol specified QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display :0.0 Aborted (core dumped) doesnt work. You need to enter gksudo ./evelauncher.sh @CCP Snorlax pleeeeeease add a README to your package, ty :)
DON'T use sudo, *sudo or su root before launching EVE.
It's supposed to work in user mode, you don't need root. Also, on some system/distribution, you will get a could not connect to display error if you try using root. |

Do you have 32bit version of such launcher? Exactly this version normally runs on Open SUSE Leap 42.1 without acceleration. Nvidia drivers 320 + G3. Geforce 8200

How to Play Eve Online on Linux A Guide for Total Morons * By Ren GÇ£Lead MoronGÇ¥ Isu (thatGÇÖs GÇ£LeadGÇ¥ as in Pb) Part 1
Download Play-Linux (1.3Gb) and burn it to a DVD (1,2,3 see notes, below): Play-Linux
- Go to the garage and dust off that 5yo crappy laptop(4) you havenGÇÖt given to your 8yo son yet.
- Go to NewEgg and buy a 120Gb SSD for $40. Replace HDD with SSD **
- Put the Play-Linux DVD in your crappy laptop. Reboot. Wait about two minutes while it boots from the DVD (5)
- Click GÇ£InstallGÇ¥(6)
- Select GÇ£I donGÇÖt want to connect to a wifi networkGÇ¥. Click GÇ£ContinueGÇ¥
- Select GÇ£Erase disk and install Play LinuxGÇ¥ on your spiffy new SSD **
- When it says GÇ£Write the changes to disksGÇ¥ click GÇ£ContinueGÇ¥
- Select a time zone, select a language, Username: Eve Full Name: Online Password: whatever Network Name: boring
- Do yourself a favor and de-select the two GÇ£Require passwordsGÇ¥ unless you need security for some reason. Otherwise youGÇÖll have to enter a password after each reboot and when you make system changes.
- Leave GÇ£Install Graphics Card driversGÇ¥ selected
- You can do all this with the swirly ball for a cursor
- Click GÇ£Continue.GÇ¥ Wait about 10 minutes (could be 20 minutes if your crappy laptop is *really* crappy.)
- Click GÇ£Restart NowGÇ¥
Before you reboot remove the DVD from the drive or youGÇÖll just boot off the DVD again.
- On your first boot you get a welcome screen which you can close.
- Attach to your wifi network by clicking the two opposing arrows (bottom right, on task bar.)
- At some point (maybe on your next boot, even) it will ask you to download a million updates (ok, 500.) DonGÇÖt (yet.)
YouGÇÖre now running Windows 95! (nah, just kidding, itGÇÖs linux.)
- Click the "Volume" icon (bottom right, on task bar) and set it to 100%
- Click the Chromium browser button (bottom left, on task bar)
- In Google you can enter GÇ£eve online linuxGÇ¥ and somewhere on the first page will probably be CCP SnorlaxGÇÖs forum post on getting the eve launcher to work on linux, which makes good reading, and there might be a new launcher, for which you can just click on that link.
- If not, download the Launcher (80Mb) by clicking on this link (or type it in):
https://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher-1043593.tar.gz
- When the launcher is finished downloading double-click on it on the Chromium download bar (bottom left in browser.)
- A window comes up with GÇ£evelauncher-1043593.tar.gzGÇ¥ (or whatever version you downloaded) at the top with an GÇ£ExtractGÇ¥ button (below GÇ£FileGÇ¥.) Click GÇ£ExtractGÇ¥.
- Now, because weGÇÖre morons, it asks again in a different window that says GÇ£ExtractGÇ¥ at the top if we want to Extract. Say GÇ£NoGÇ¥ (joke! click GÇ£ExtractGÇ¥ in the upper left of the window.)
- Now, assuming that goes without a hitch, we are close to being done. Click GÇ£CloseGÇ¥ and also close all the open windows, including the browser.
Click on the white GÇ£guitar pickGÇ¥ in the bottom left corner (or press the GÇ£WindowsGÇ¥ keyGÇöI donGÇÖt know jack about Macs, sorry) which puts a vertical white line in the center of the task bar (bottom, middle of screen.) This is a search box, click it and type GÇ£termGÇ¥. Hit return. In the terminal window that opens type:
cd Downloads/evelauncher (NOTE: GǣDownloadsGǥ is capitalized!) ./evelauncher.sh Yeah, you have to do this every time. Somebody with a big brain will know how to put a groovy icon on the desktop or something but, mehGǪ
You will get a million error messages. Ignore them. Now the Snorlax magic happens. But it takes awhile so since a watched laptop doesnGÇÖt update go make yourself a cup of coffee. Use a French press.
Eventually, unbelievably, you will get the regular Eve Launcher logon screen. Mind. Blown. With trembling fingers enter your username and password andGǪ make yourself another cup of coffee because itGÇÖs going to download a bunch of stuff, probably 200Mb or so, but at least not the 7Gb of yesteryearGǪ Eventually (again), unbelievably (again), you will get the regular Eve Launcher logon screen (again.) Mind NOT Blown since youGÇÖre saying to yourself, GÇ£wtf, is this worth it?GÇ¥ But we really are past the hard stuff. Click that little arrow AND START PLAYING! That's it! If this worked send the guy living in his mom's basement that is working on Play-Linux $5
* GÇ£MoronsGÇ¥ because every time I talk to someone that knows linux it goes something like this. Me: GÇ£How do you get a listing of the files in a directory?GÇ¥ Person with a big brain that knows linux: GÇ£Simple, you just berflap the grezknocker using the humpsmasher switch and then grep it to dev zero.GÇ¥
** OK, you donGÇÖt *need* to buy a SSD but that crappy laptop will thank you for it |

Part 2 Notes: (1) In Windows just double-click on the GÇ£Play-Linux.isoGÇ¥ file when it finishes downloading and youGÇÖll be prompted to insert a blank DVD, which will get written to. You can buy blank DVDs at Walmart (or Carrefore?) When youGÇÖre done writing put this DVD in your crappy laptop. If youGÇÖre using a Mac, uhGǪ (2) You could use a USB drive instead of DVD but IGÇÖm old school. (3) You can download 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Play-Linux. If your crappy laptop has less than 4Gb of memory download 32-bit. If you donGÇÖt know or care download 64-bit. (4) Everywhere I say GÇ£laptopGÇ¥ you can substitute GÇ£desktop computerGÇ¥ (5) If you need help getting your system to boot from DVD or USB, Google is your friend (6) Play-Linux is based on Ubuntu but with a bunch of gaming stuff already installed, like a whole bunch of graphics drivers, WINE, and PlayOnLinux.
