Just installed Eve on a fresh install of Manjaro Linux Distro....Worked like a charm thanks to some instructions by Xintara's forum post and a few other google searches....Pretty straight foward even for a linux newbie like me.

@CCP Snorlax, Please keep this going mate. Greatly appreciate the work you have done so far.

Hey, I'm getting this output when trying to launch the evelauncher

evelauncher$ sh evelauncher.shGtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"


I played it fine for some time about 5 months ago but now I've gone back to it recently as Eve has gone free to play and I cannot start it :(

I'm running Debian testing, nvidia 760. Anything else you want to know let me know.

Yeah! At last! Dear Snorlax, you brought me back to this beautiful game. I can't imagine how much effort is needed to do this port.

Thanks for the hard work!

i got the same issue, my laptop and desktop, both Debian Stretch 64bit. At some point i fixed the above mentioned error, it is unrelated. running the evelauncher.sh produces nothing, no console output, no error, no window.

Just wanted to add another success story here, launcher's working great on Ubuntu 16.04. Was significantly easier than trying to get everything working thru PlayOnLinux. I'm not sure if running the script is the correct way to start the launcher every time (Linux noob here lul) but if so it's working for me. Lol

Went back to a brand new fresh install of pure Arch Linux. Followed the instructions exactly and was able to launch as soon as i got it going. Again I want to say how appreciated this is CCP Snorlax and hope that you will continue to do this for us.

Btw, very new to linux so for me to get this working is a huge accomplishment.

Following the directions in the original post, worked on first try on Linux Mint 18.0, has functioned reliably without incident for a few hours of various PvE tasks, mostly market and mining Thank you for putting in the time to make this work.

Worked great on Ubuntu 16.04. Performance is better than Windows 7 on this hardware.

Thanks for your work.

Hi. Ubuntu 16.10 amd64 and nvidia does not start.
Solution
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libc6:i386

If there is no sound
sudo apt-get install libpulse0:i386

Thank you

Hello,

First of all I am sorry for the crosspost.
I have such a noobish question I think, but please forgive me :D

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x64
VGA: nVidia GTX960 4GB

So I have downloaded EVELauncher from first post, extracted to
/home/bozsikarnand/Games/EVE
then started it with
bash evelauncher.sh
and it gives the error as follows:

Installed Qt WebEngine locales directory not found at location /home/bozsikarmand/Games/EVE/translations/qtwebengine_locales. Trying application directory...
Qt WebEngine locales directory not found at location /home/bozsikarmand/Games/EVE/qtwebengine_locales. Trying fallback directory... Translations MAY NOT not be correct.
[0115/130835:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(291)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.so.


Steam is installed on my system. Once I was able to fix this problem, but I do not remember how. Now the client starts, I can login without a problem, then when I would like to press the play button the blue line loads in the launcher, and nothing happens.

Video illustration of my problem: YouTube

Do I need something else to make it work?

Thanks for your help!

In my eve online launcher directory, I created a simbolic link to my steam.pid and it solved the problem. I hope this would help you.

cd /home/myuser/games/eveonline
ln -s ~/.steam/steam.pid steam_appid.txt

Tried that but still having the same issue as in the video above. Anything that I can do about it?

[0115/130835:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(291)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale


so with installing Steam i got and doing that simbolic link I got rid of:

[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.so.
