Edited by: ZeeWes on 04/12/2009 14:40:42 -Tested using fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10. -Use guide at your own risk, I am not responsible if you break something
1. Get and install wine. Go to "Applications">"Ubuntu Software Center", then in the search bar type in "Wine", click on "Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Beta Release)" then click the arrow pointing right to the right side of it. Scroll down and hit install, and type in your password(if it asks for one)"
You must be using version 1.1.29 at least which is the beta release
2. You have to download the client. They say you should download it from here http://www.eveonline.com/download/ and get the windows version.
(I kept having an issue from that link, it would give a verification error after it downloaded so I used. http://games.softpedia.com/progDownload/EVE-Online-Full-Client-Download-10415.html Its the full client so it may take an hour or two to download)
3. Right click on what you downloaded and left click on "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader" (the official and what I used work the same from here on out)
4. Standard install wizard pops up, just hit next and accept all the way through it, default location is fine.
5. Go to Applications>Wine>Programs>EVE>Play EVE there you go you can now play eve on your linux box. (if this step only gets you a splash screen for a few seconds then nothing continue reading for the fix)
6. Go to System>Administration>Other Software click on "Add", type in "ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa" then click "Add Source"
7. Go to System>Administration>Update Manager click "Check" then "Install Updates"
(this may take some time depending on when the last time you updated was)
8. Now download this:
Intel 32bit
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/%7Ekernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32-rc6/linux-headers-2.6.32-020632rc6_2.6.32-020632rc6_all.deb
then
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32-rc6/linux-headers-2.6.32-020632rc6-generic_2.6.32-020632rc6_i386.deb
then
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32-rc6/linux-image-2.6.32-020632rc6-generic_2.6.32-020632rc6_i386.deb
9. Go to where you downloaded them to and double click on them(one at a time) for both its will open a package installer and in the upper right corner click "install package"
Install in the order you downloaded them in
10. Go to Applications>Accessories>Terminal type in Terminal window "sudo update-grub" type in password when asked
11.Shut Down
11.When you turn your computer back on start hitting Escape on your keyboard till grub pops up.
13. Select from the list "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-020632rc6-generic" (chances are good its the top option)
14. Log in go to Applications>Wine>Programs>Eve>Play Eve, if it says "Could not launch 'Play EVE" then go to Applications>Wine>Browse C:\ Drive>Program Files>CCP>EVE find eve.exe, right click and hit "Open with wine Windows Program Loader" it should load up in a few seconds
Have fun
Feedback is welcome, and if you can test this on other distros let me know so I know what it works with.

If you take this route and your a Nvidia user you'll probably get some complaining when you recompile the Nvidia kernel module that the version of GCC on your system is not the version used to compile the kernel. Thus far i haven't had any problems tho. Its also possible rc6 was compiled with the version of gcc included in 9.10.
I'm using:
Ubuntu 9.10, install was fresh and is only a few weeks old kernel 2.6.32_amd64 not the rc6 mentioned in this post, the final release, from the same mentioned ubuntu kernel PPA Nvidia 195.22 drivers
with no issues.
2.6.32 changed some default settings for ext4, if you use ext4 you should check out this:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_perf_regressions&num=2
personally i have a UPS and mount with nobarrier (just add "nobarrier" to the options section of fstab) this removed any change in disk performance for me with 2 x 64GB OCZ Agility SSD's in mdadm RAID0.

Originally by: Debeus Edited by: Debeus on 05/12/2009 05:44:40 Try adding the Nvidia driver ppa: ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa update the driver and see if the problem persists.
BTW: I suggest everyone to use the fstab options: noatime,commit=60 instead of default or relatime. This improves performance a lot with all filesystems, it will stop writes (of access time) on each read and the other means to use a 60 second interval for syncs (default is 5), meaning one sync per minute instead of 12 for less writing and more powersaving.
what would you recommend if anything for ati users? i tried downloading the catalsyst control center for linux but it won't let me install it for some reason. It is a .run file but when i try and open it with wine (not even sure if this is needed) it says no windows program configured to open this program, and when i try and open with the program linux suggests (gedit) it says i can't understand the characters or something similar

to launch the .run file (there is certainly a GUI way, but GUI's are for nubs):
1) open a terminal window 2) go to where it is downloaded (either 'cd Desktop' or 'cd Downloads' 3) verify your .run file is there with the ls command 4) enable execute permissions using 'chmod +x ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run' replacing my .run file name with yours 5) launch the .run file using root permissions 'sudo ./ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run'
Not sure if that will actually fix your eve problem, but that's how you launch the installer you were trying.

Do I really have to update the kernel? And if so, can I do it via apt using a repo?
I would really rather not update from what karmic comes with.

Fairly sure you only have to update the kernel if you don't want to have to edit prefs.ini every time you start EVE

Updated the kernel according to the OP, but i'm having the same issue as Becko Bunt, cant see the text to scroll down, even though I have installed the core fonts.
I'm currently using wine 1.1.34.

as to the nvidia installer gcc problem, there's a quick fix, however the difference in the two compilers aren't exactly extra-ordinary.
sudo apt-get install gcc-(whatever nvidia installer is asking for)
sudo CC=/usr/bin/gcc-(whatever version you just downloaded) sh NVIDIA*
thats long and confusing, lets type it again
sudo CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.1 sh NVIDIA*
comprende?

I followed your guide to the letter but step 14 just doesn't run the game.

ok, this is the script I use to start eve, It might do the trick (adapt it with your own paths + res and start it with: sh ./eve.sh)
#!/bin/bash killall ExeFile.exe killall eve.exe rm /home/eve/.wine/drive_c/users/eve/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/CCP/EVE/z_home_eve_tranquility/settings/core_public__.dat rm -r /home/eve/.wine/drive_c/users/eve/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/CCP/EVE/z_home_eve_tranquility/cache cp /home/eve/.wine/drive_c/users/eve/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/CCP/EVE/z_home_eve_tranquility/settings/prefs_old.ini /home/eve/.wine/drive_c/users/eve/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/CCP/EVE/z_home_eve_tranquility/settings/prefs.ini

I use 64-bit Ubuntu and after the kernel update i no longer get stuck at splash screen.
And you followed this guide to resolve splash screen issue? I followed it step by step, everything worked flawlessly but running eve is still problem. Really no idea what should i do more.
What i've done is:
1) Installed latest version of wine (currently version 1.1.36).
2) Installed winetricks from http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
3) Did the following command in terminal after winetricks was installed: sh winetricks winxp vcrun2005sp1 corefonts gecko d3dx9
4) Installed eve
5) I then installed the kernel at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/ (there is new RC versions out now, but this is the one i'm using without any problems so far) The .deb files i installed was: linux-headers-2.6.32-020632_2.6.32-020632_all.deb linux-headers-2.6.32-020632-generic_2.6.32-020632_amd64.deb linux-image-2.6.32-020632-generic_2.6.32-020632_amd64.deb
I then use a launcher on my desktop with the command: wine explorer /desktop=EVE,1680x1050 "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe"

When EVE worked for me on my MSI GX720 (Intel C2D P8400, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 9600N GT 512MB), it ran perfectly on basically max details (so same as my gaming rig with windows). I did not try anything large scale. So i wouldn't be worried about performace. ----------------------------- EvE Mobile Skill Planner guide for Windows Mobile based devices |

The only thing bugging me is eve voice - I hear everyone else very choppy and with echos. (jove speaking to me?)
I am running the following: ubuntu lucid: 2.6.32-12-generic-pae NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run on gnome+compiz
They do say they hear me very well. Just I can hardly understand them, and they havent tempered with the eve voice flavours ;)
So, still hunting this one minor thing, but everything else seems to work like a charm. Unfortunately high-shaders really really impact my performance, but thats ok, if I don't have to boot into windows to play. :)

I don't think that is a bug. It seems to me you simply didn't have the arial fonts installed:
Originally by: WineHQ - Download mscorefonts from sourceforge.net: http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ - copy arial*.ttf to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/ (install ms corefonts package and then search for arial*.ttf on your disk)

The official Linux client was never very good, a bit of a disappointment. As far as I recall I always just kept on using wine anyway as every time I tried the Cedega one it all went horribly wrong : )

I know this is a probably a silly question given the problems folks have in Windows.. but has anyone managed to get Antialiasing working with EVE and Wine?
Game runs fine with AA disabled, but enabled everything renders as a black screen, except for module icons, brackets in space, and boxes like the overview and chat windows.

It worked great for me before they discontinued it, but it was the "classic" client. Anyway I tried Cedega before dominion and it worked flawlessly, and then dominion broke it. However, if you applied the wine registry patch in this very forum it works on every distro but Ubuntu.
The problem is for 25 bucks I expect it to work without having to manually patch.
Anyway, I think thats why they don't support a linux client anymore. Ubuntu users are certainly the bulk of linux users and its the hardest distro to get running. It would be near impossible to get a port that ran well on all distros. -------------------------------------------------- I'm so Old I can remember when QQ was TT

Go easy on the negative, it's only a 9.10 issue. Other releases of Ubuntu are fine.

i followed all the steps in the guid but the last one, i cant seem to get grub to pop up during boot by pressing escape.
I did get a message saying that 'mountall' was dead or something. Then the OS booted up.
I am using linux mint 8, it is ubuntu based but that may be the issue. Anyone else used mint and done this?

Have you checked what kernel version your comp is running on after the boot up? If your allready running on the new one there is no need to enter grub.

thats just it, when i hit escape and see the 'grub loading' message during boot up, it doesnt load grub, just says that, then boots normally, is there a way to run grub from the desktop and then just reboot?

Just type "uname -r" without the "" in terminal and you'll see what kernel you are currently running. If the kernel you installed shows up, there is no need to enter grub.

Edited by: Alitara on 16/02/2010 00:36:03 I get past the login, and after selecting my character, it starts loading and then...
A windows dialog pops up, which basically says: "Program Error: The program ExeFile.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." ...with some additional info on how to submit a bug report. However, when I click Close, I can still enter the game, but the audio gets stuck in a split-second loop. Any ideas? Here is the console output:

Hello,
Anyone have a solution for the non-clickable scanner probes in space map?
Seems to run great with some minimal graphical glitches now but scanning is a wee bit fruitless without the ability to move probes :)

tried everything in this thread, and ... it's god awful.
The only part of the OP that I couldn't get to work at all, was the pressing esc to get into 'grub'--I'm a total noob at this OS, and no matter what I do, I get no log-in options, nothing to chose from, no list--it just causes some error, and then loads the OS like nothing happened. suppose this is the key to my problem, but who knows.
even will start, but after character selection, and while it's loading, an error, about closing down, comes up, and then i get about 15 seconds of eve--and then it locks up. have to close it because it's just a humming picture.
advice? really need to get Ubuntu working for me, before I lose my mind :D

There is a new bug with the Jukebox as of Dominion 1.1 (I think). Deleting the jukebox directory in the Eve cache files fixes it.

There is another way to solve the Ubuntu problem, thanks to some good sleuthing by Chinny Bob, and that is to re-enable what Ubuntu has disabled via a simple setting flip on boot up.
Read relevant forum postings for further details.
Comment #5 is the one that details the simple method. No recompiles needed. Just one line to add to /etc/rc.local

followed the rest of your steps and my wireless became chronically unable to connect automatically when using the top hatch in grub, went down 2 but now im back to splash and crash
any advice?
-edit ive dropped down to 31 generic to reconnect to the internet, would appear that i have a choice of eve without internet or internet without eve.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D] "DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl" "OffscreenRenderingMode"="backbuffer" "PixelShaderMode"="enabled" "VertexShaderMode"="hardware" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\d3dgl] "dynamicvbo"="N" "indexvbo"="N" "fbo"="N" "fbobackbuffer"="0" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\HKCU\Software\Wine\DllOverrides] "d3dx9_35"="native" "d3dx9_36"="native"
Then give a go and see if tou can make it working... 
For troubleshooting, set all graphics settings to lowest in case if you get crashes. When doing that, set all options to lowest in character selection window right after log in, do not enter game, restart eve, then try to see if that works!
P.S> Linux Mandriva + HP Elitebook 6930p here, EVE runs, just still having artifacts on screen because of wine message: fixme:d3d_draw:drawPrimitive Using software emulation because not all material properties could be tracked fixme:d3d:buffer_PreLoad Too many full buffer conversions, stopping converting

Okay so I updated to Kubuntu 10.04 (yes I'm a KDE person), only to find that Tyrannis had the same issue as before. I could do what I wanted... it would tell me that ExeFile.exe had encountered an error and needed to close.
I did all the settings and tips as recommended in opening post, I also ran Winetricks to install the corefonts, to be sure.
I still got the same error. 
HOWEVER!
I saw something about the "d3dx9_41.dll" in the Terminal window. So I downloaded that particular DLL, placed it in the .wine system32 directory, and changed this particular dll to "NATIVE" in winecfg.
And boom! I'm looking at the Tyrannis logon screen. Gonna wait for TQ to start up to do some graphic tests.
Ah yes, bonus: I have sound also in EVE (in before "WTF! EVE has SOUND?!?!").

I've deleted it. That was one of the first things I did. I've also gone through the regedit and set the suggested files to native as well. Not sure if there might be something else.
