On Debian sid, it is mostly working after installing steam and adding symlinks to ssl and crypto libs:
 
     sudo apt install steam
     cd /path/to/launcher
     ln -s libssl-compat.so.1.0.0 libssl.so.1.0.0 
     ln -s libssl-compat.so.1.0.0 libssl.so
     ln -s libcrypto-compat.so.1.0.0 libcrypto.so.1.0.0 
     ln -s libcrypto-compat.so.1.0.0 libcrypto.so


The native launcher just works with the installed wine and winetricks. However, the keyboard in not recognized in the actual eve client: so no typing in channel names to join chat, no searching for items in the regional market, no typing into chat windows. no keyboard shortcuts.

I looked around, and found some mention of XMODIFIERS

So I added 

XMODIFIERS=""
export XMODIFIERS

into the eve launcher shell script, to no avail. Any idea what IO could try next?

I take it you did alter path/to/evelauncher to the actual path and have libssl1.0.2 (this will also install libcrypto.so.1.0.2 installed, you'll find it in the Stretch/testing repo?

Than it should work in Debian Stretch/testing.

Forgot to mention I am using MATE as a DE.

You'll find me in the Linux channel when I am online.

Dumb question: is there a way to set where the launcher puts its wine binaries? I have a dedicated SSD for EVE where the launcher is installed, but there is also the directory ~/.eve, containing almost 9GB of files. I'd like to move this over to the EVE drive as well. Is there a way to do this?

I can't make the launcher work on ubuntu 17.04.

https://pastebin.com/PwCH7iED

Here's part of the error log, it successfully downloads the first file it needs, then it starts downloading some part of wine and stops at 10%, just repeatedly spamming something failed and that I should look into the error log, the part in the pastebin is repeated until I stop the launcher. Can't copy paste the whole thing because it quickly balloons to several MB of logs.

I have wine staging installed, version 2.8. When starting the sh file throws this up:

[0528/191223:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(291)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale

[0528/191223:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(291)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale

Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: figured it out, after configuring the launcher to use a custom wine version and adding a symbolic link to the .wine folder, the launcher downloaded everything, but now nothing happens when I click on play.

First of all i would like to say hello to all members here and developers.

This is my first post, I am new in the forum, and the game, although i had tried the trial version a couple of years ago.

I just used the EVE Launcher on a fresh Mint 18.1 install, it worked like a charm. There was some delay in the first run after install, but has been working great so far. A huge thank you and a hat tip to CCP Snorlax for giving this opportunity to all linux users.

1. What is your /bin/sh linked to? (it could be dash, which is weird)
2. Does running bash ~/evelauncher.sh help there.
3. You could try "bash -x ~/evelauncher.sh" to see what is going on.

I think your shell is not compatible with shell script . try to run explicitly pointing to /bin/bash:

/bin/bash ./evelauncher.sh

I think your Installed Linux is 32-bit version, so evelauncher is ELF64 format and could not be run on 32-bit system

Since there no ELF32 binaries you have to use wine to run windows binary launcher instead of Linux Native, it works almost same.

run winecfg and set windows version to Windows XP emulation, when launcher runs make sure to set option to run game in DX9

Issues running the latest launcher after an upgrade. Linux version is Linux Mint 18.1 Serena. Here is the output of the commands I am running to attempt to get it to run. Already verified I am running wine in windows xp mode via winecfg:
sivik@Saveak ~/Downloads/evelauncher $ ./evelauncher
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Either launch the game from Steam, or put the file steam_appid.txt containing the correct appID in your game folder.

Running the evelauncher.sh loads a window called EVE Launcher - version 1146159 and it opens a window but the window is missing. Only the title bar exists.

Same with me. I can only think that it's something to do with QT libs.

Just FYI....fresh new install on a new laptop today.

Fresh Linux Mint 18.2 beta.
Launcher ran fine; wouldn't launch the client.
Fiddled with it for a couple hours, then installed PlayOnLinux.
Client worked immediately.

Definitely nice to have a new laptop with 1060 video and an 8 core I7. :)

I can second the POL part of that, I had issues on Ubuntu 17.04 until I installed this. Works flawlessly after that. Props to Snorlax.
