Hi.
Here is a step by step instruction for how to connect to Singularity. Singularity is a public test server which is used to test upcoming changes and fixes and give developers feedback on these. Feedback is usually posted in the Game Development forum and any bugs are reported via the Bug report system. What is special about the test server is that while you have the same skills as you do on Tranquility, most items are available on the market for 100 ISK.
Read this before you join the server:
Since this is a test server, there are special set of rules. Make sure you read them here: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=253187
Here is another thread that is very useful to read: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=46836
Why is this interesting for you?
The current stability issues that most people are experiencing have been addressed in this build and you can try it out together with other cool things and give us feedback before it is put on the Live server Tranquility. We welcome all feedback as it is very important to us!

If you already have EVE installed jump to step 3
1) Install the EVE package right for your distribution of Linux: http://www.eve-online.com/download/linux.asp
2) Run EVE from the Desktop Menu and complete the SINGLE USER install
3) From a console program such as Gnome Terminal or Konsole run:
$ cp -r .cedega .cedegaSISI
4) Create a new Launcher for EVE on your desktop:
- Type: Application
- Name: EVE SISI
- Command: /home/[your username]/.cedegaSISI/cedegaUpdateChecker -GAME EveOnline-linux
- Comment:
5) And a new Launcher for the EVE SISI Configuration:
- Type: Apllication
- Name: EVE SISI
- Command: /home/[your username]/.cedegaSISI/cedegaUpdateChecker -GAME EveOnline-linux -config
- Comment:
6. Install the Tranquility to Singularity Patch
- Go to http://www.eve-online.com/patches/patches.asp?s=&system=lin&edition=classic
- Download the latest Tranquility to Singularity patch
- Open the EVE SISI Configuration Tool
- Click Install Game Patch
- Locate the Tranquility to Singularity Patch you just downloaded
- Click Continue
- Follow the patch instructions and locate the game under C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE
- Let the patching process finish and click close.
7. Set the manifest to Testing
- Navigate to ~/.cedegaSISI/.EVEOnline-linux/
- Open manifest in a text editor
- Add ".testing" without the quotation marks to the end of the URL in the document.
Example: http://updates.cedega.com/manifest/eveonline/EveOnline-linux.manifest.testing
- Save the file and exit
8. Launch EVE SISI client
- Double click your Launcher you created on your desktop called EVE SISI
Comments, questions and ideas are very welcome.

For step 4 i 5 i foud that the command path was missing .updater subfolder under .cedegaSISI so the right paths for application launcher should be:
Eve launcher
- Command: /home/[your username]/.cedegaSISI/.updater/cedegaUpdateChecker -GAME EveOnline-linux
Eve configuration launcher
- Command: /home/[your username]/.cedegaSISI/.updater/cedegaUpdateChecker -GAME EveOnline-linux -config

Ok, I have tryed this yestarday seams like if you run sisi config tool application launcher and do a game update to C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE it will upadate the live tq linux client. So after runing either normal game launcher or sisi app. launcher you will get connected to the test server. I've managed to rescue my main TQ install by copyng back EVE files from
/.cedegaSISI/EVE Online/c_drive/Program Files/CCP to
/.cedega/EVE Online/c_drive/Program Files/CCP
It seams like the .cedegaSISI instance of cedegaUpdateChecker has original .cedega drive paths defined in
.cedegaSISI/EVE Online/config, I've tryed to modify c drivepath and do a repatch but with same results.
Today I found (at work) there is a original cedega path in /.cedegaSISI/.updater/cedegaUpdateChecker file (around line 5 and 8) so I think you should modify it to... I will try this as soon i get home.

Just wanted to reply to this topic how I get it working with this guide, but now it is removed.
Well anyway, it was working so far, but you need to run it as it is mentioned in some KB for multiply linux clients. (http://support.eve-online.com/Pages/KB/Article.aspx?id=398)
export CEDEGA_PATH=/home/[username]/.cedegaSISI && $CEDEGA_PATH/.updater/cedegaUpdateChecker -GAME EveOnline-linux
export CEDEGA_PATH=/home/[username]/.cedegaSISI && $CEDEGA_PATH/.updater/cedegaUpdateChecker -GAME EveOnline-linux -config
Otherwise it somehow try to read files from .cedega/* and corrupt your TQ setup.

Got it working to... so here is the step-by-step tutorial when you already have the single-user official installation.
Step 1
In your terminal do this:
cp -R ~/.cedega ~/.cedegaSISI
to copy your primary install
Step 2
Configure your new sisi client env. paths.
Type this in your terminal:
pico ~/.cedegaSISI/EVE\ Online/config
change line 22 from this:
"Path" = "/home/[username]/.cedega/EVE Online/c_drive"
to to this:
"Path" = "/home/[username]/.cedegaSISI/EVE Online/c_drive"
Replace [username] with your actual username. you can use pico, nano, vi, or your other favourite editor to change this.
then you have to edit
updatechecker file, to do this type in terminal:
pico ~/.cedegaSISI/.updater/cedegaUpdateChecker
change line 5 from this:
if [ -e ${HOME}/.cedega/.cedegarc ]; then
to this:
if [ -e ${HOME}/.cedegaSISI/.cedegarc ]; then
also line 8 from this:
export CEDEGA_PATH=${HOME}/.cedega
to this
export CEDEGA_PATH=${HOME}/.cedegaSISI
A little bit more editing... now all we have to do is change the manifest
type in terminal:
pico ~/.cedegaSISI/.EveOnline-linux/manifest
and add a .testing to the end of the text so it should look like this:
http://updates.cedega.com/manifest/eveonline/EveOnline-linux.manifest.testing
Step3
Create your game launchers
First the game launcher
Right click on your desktop -> create launcher and set as following
type : Application
name: Eve SISI client
command : /home/[username]/.cedegaSISI/.updater/cedegaUpdateChecker -GAME EveOnline-linux
comment:
then the game config launcher
Right click on your desktop -> create launcher
type : Application
name: Eve SISI config
command : /home/[username]/.cedegaSISI/.updater/cedegaUpdateChecker -GAME EveOnline-linux -config
comment:
Step 3
Download tq -> sisi patch from:
http://www.eve-online.com/patches/patches.asp?s=singularity&system=lin&edition=classic
Step 4
Install the tq -> sisi pathch via eve sisi config launcher -> install game patch
navigate to c:/program files/ccp/eve and install the patch
Step 5
Start your sisi client and have fun :)

Wondering if i can get some help on this. I followed these instructions exactly, when i launch the client the splash screen starts and then just goes away. Nothing else happens.
Ideas?

I too have the same problem, also that patch doesn't seem to "patch" the launcher is only a grey box, and when I manually launch it the splash screen appears for about 1 second and nothing happens.
Could CCP or someone else either update this or check for clarity/correctness?
Sooner rather then later please, us linux people want to test our ships and the new expansion too 
Signatures are annoying...kinda like me. |
