Hi all,

I've recently made the permanent switch to linux, and I love it. I'm running Linux mint 17. Using PlayOnLinux and Winetricks I've managed to get eve working fairly well. I just have a few issues I hope someone can help me with.

First, I can't use the In Game Browser. The browser crashes outside the game (but the game is ok.) something to do with awesomium, I think. I can post logs if you need. I'm thinking I need to install some windows DLL's but I'm not sure which.

Second - half the fun of eve (for me) is theorycrafting new fits to lose gloriously. I've downloaded PYFA, but the instruction for installing is "Linux users ... are expected to run pyfa through their distributions Python interpreter." I'm going to need something more to work with here ... can anyone give me some steps or point me in the right direction? I'm usually pretty good at figuring things out, but I'm a bit lost with this one. (I know all these words, but not in this order :p)


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What Wine version do you have?

The IGB use to not work due to something related to certificate handling but that is fixed now.

For pyfa, here the dependency :

After if you have all the dependency, just run /where/is/pyfa or python2 /where/is/pyfa

I've had a look at your suggestions and dependencies and have managed to get pyfa working. Thanks :)

As far as the IGB, I use wine version 1.8-rc1 with eve. I start the IGB, it waits a moment while it loads, then eve minimises and a box pops up saying the program has closed. I've got a log if it helps: http://pastebin.com/uTYPM4v5

It works by default installation on my computer, but have you read the WINE APPDB? They have a post that states:

Had to install winhttp with "winetricks winhttp" to have ingame browser.

For pyfa: Make sure you have at least python 2.6, and the other listed dependencies installed (should be able to get them through your distros package mangager), download and unpack pyfa and call "python pyfa.py" and you should be good.

A much cleaner way would be to install it via your package manager. There are repositories, overlays and builds for Debian/Ubuntu based Distros, Slackware, Gentoo, Arch...

Just google "pyfa repository {whatever your distro is}" to find them.
