When I start the launcher the webpage doesn't show up (there should be something like splash screen, right?), I only see an icon usually shows up in browser indicating something's wrong with the network. I can start the game via the menu button on top right without problem and the only issue is igb doesn't work.

Are there anything wrong with the output message? I'm using Arch Linux.

I think you must have edited it or something. When I gedit my evelauncher.sh I get

#!/bin/sh
appname=`basename $0 | sed s,\.sh$,,`

dirname=`dirname $0`
tmp="${dirname#?}"

if [ "${dirname%$tmp}" != "/" ]; then
dirname=$PWD/$dirname
fi
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$dirname:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$dirname/$appname "$@"

unfortunately I didn't edit it and that is identical to my evelauncher.sh.

Just installed this on a fresh Debian 8.5.
I installed steam first as I saw it may help.
I also installed wine and playonlinux.
I'm experiencing the sound as "pulsy" going on/off about 60 times a second. Just the right frequency to be still extremely annoying. I will have a look at my sound drivers later.
Running smoother then MacOSX version.
I am particularly happy about the way http links are handled (sent to desktop application). On my mac version, opening an http link killed the game.

Running with hd, shaders, high graphics everywhere on a nice 2560x1440 resolution now.

Hi

Thanks for the linux launcher. Most of the time it works really great.
Sometimes i get some wierd behaviour though. Like this: I start the launcher and it doesn't show any accounts or even the option to add accounts.

http://i.imgur.com/k1wLGz1.jpg

in this case there was some rouge evelauncher process which had to be killed in order to get it working again. No idea if that's a feature of my system or a a problem with the launcher itself.

If you want/need any logs just gimme a yell and next time it happens im gonna record it.

Regards,
L.

I'm home from my business trip and wanted to play around with this on my home workstation as well.

Strangely, it's failing for me now on a different system. The launcher loads just fine. I'm able to input my username and 2-factor code.

When I click play, it looks like it's trying (username turns green and "Play" icon turns to "Stop" icon.) but doesn't proceed from there.

I've confirmed that 32-bit versions of GNU TLS, PNG libraries and LDAP libs are installed. (I really thought it would be an LDAP issue for login...)

That's all I can get. I've got two installs of EVE, one on a virtual drive managed by play on linux and another in the home directory under the OS's wine install.

Sounds like your evelauncher/evelauncher file (not evelauncher.sh) is not marked executable and your shell is trying to interpret it as a script. Maybe chmod +x will work, or maybe your tool that extracted it also missed something else. Try re-extracting the archive.

When running the evelauncher.sh I get two resource bundle warnings:

[0703/181146:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(291)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale 
Installed Qt WebEngine locales directory not found at location /home/bjorn/Games/CCP/evelauncher/translations/qtwebengine_locales. Trying application directory...

[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.

Then the launcher opens and then crashes after ~1sec with just one line in the terminal:


Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I have no idea what to make of this. Any suggestions?

EDIT:

dmesg | tail gives me this

So maybe there is something with nouveau? I have seen that a couple of other people have had issues with nouveau drivers.

EDIT2:

As far as I can tell this is the first error message thats generated:

If someone knows what could cause this I'd be happy to hear it because I have spent way more time then I would care to admit trying to figure this out.

There are linux systems to avoid for this launcher:

Netrunner 2016.1 Rolling
Kubuntu 16.anything
Other distros with KDE Plasma 5.x.y

The conflicts in the Qt versions freeze the machine's Desktop. Most likely this is a library conflict, based on previous experience, but I am not going to debug it right now.

But with a GNOME DE we seem to be doing OK. Most probably the older KDE4 versions will be fine.

Once I catch up with my play, I will look at Xfce and LXDE versions, but I would expect them to work as well.

Oh well, the launcher loaded its stuff then would not start EVE.

One item was the nouveau driver for NVidia cards--this was disliked by the launcher and the kernel with that module did not like the launcher. So, proprietary driver installation for NVidia GTX750 later:

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 – this sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that the evelauncher executable finds Qt in the installation folder. I’d 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.

Me and a couple of my mates have re-subbed because of this. Runs well without any extra steps on Linux Mint 18. Thanks for doing this!

I've been playing with this instead of my usual wine install, and it's been working well.

However, I am also experiencing the wine process occasionally not exiting when I exit EVE and then exit the launcher.

Killing the processes associated with it and starting the launcher works. When I run this using my system wine (WINEPREFIX, etc), I do not get this issue. It does seem to happen more frequently when playing for a long period of time.

For now, I just use a quick script that kills any old eve online wine processes before starting the launcher.

Yep, login works but pressing play does nothing. Linux Mint 17.

Should I install a seperate eve launcher till this linux launcher is stable? This one is the only launcher I have as I just started playing EVE less than a week ago. I saw that there is another thread that is closed about how you guys originally ran the game on linux but am not sure if it will make a difference?

Update: I installed WINE and the windows launcher, did some setup and got that one working.

Update 2: 7.8.16 Now neither install is working.
