I have a freshly installed Ubuntu 13.10 (actually Kubuntu but I doubt that matters) with Wine 1.6 (tried also 1.7, same effect), graphics drivers from xorg-edgers.

EVE Installer runs fine, the EVE launcher runs and patches fine, but starting EVE simply fails. It tries to execute DirectXRedist.exe and that is not working. I can execute the DirectXRedist.exe manually and it simply terminates as well. Log looks like this:

Network layer using: CarbonIO
Executing DirectXRedist.exe ...
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libaoss.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libaoss.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144
err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144
Terminating process by request - returning 0

I can remove the libaoss error, it doesn't change a thing. Winetricks is installed but no matter what I try, it just won't work. Do I still need specific overrides for this? I tried the ones in kismeteers howto but it doesn't change anything. I just don't get past this DirectX installer.

Graphics card is a Radeon HD 5800. Any hints appreciated.

You must install the i386 linux version driver for video card.

This should be installed:

# dpkg -l | grep radeon
ii libdrm-radeon1:amd64 2.4.52+git20140121.46d451c9-0ubuntu0sarvatt~saucy amd64 Userspace interface to radeon-specific kernel DRM services -- runtime
ii libdrm-radeon1:i386 2.4.52+git20140121.46d451c9-0ubuntu0sarvatt~saucy i386 Userspace interface to radeon-specific kernel DRM services -- runtime

Or do you mean the xserver-xorg-video-radeon package?

Name package is fglrx (driver) and fglrx-amdcccle is Catalyst Control Center.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/fglrx - i386 version

Sadly this gets me into dependecy hell.. it refuses to install the i386 version:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
fglrx:i386 : Depends: dkms:i386 but it is not installable
Depends: xorg-video-abi-11:i386 but it is not installable or
xorg-video-abi-12:i386 but it is not installable or
xorg-video-abi-13:i386 but it is not installable or
xorg-video-abi-14:i386
Depends: xserver-xorg-core:i386 but it is not going to be installed

Is the idea that I undo the xorg-edgers packages and go back to default where this is supposed to work? Or should this work with xorg-edgers?

read - https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO
i think - you need run in console under root
dpkg --add-architecture i386
continue to act in a manual

That's the problem, I am already on multi-arch, it still won't do it:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

It would install amd64, it will not install i386. There are no held packages, despite what the message says:

Thanks a lot for the help so far. I don't think I'm getting this to work however and I probably just have to wait until 14.04 lts comes round, although I don't believe this will be magically going to be smooth then.

why you didn`t install - apt-get install fglrx (without i386) - if you see - it will be install lib32gcc1 and other - it`s 32 bit

p/s. I use Fedora and haven`t any troubles with multi-arch.

Because it has only installed the amd64 part apparently. And I still get the very same effect, namely that DirectXRedist.exe won't work and terminate with the same error:

Quote:

root@pc:~# dpkg -l | grep fglrx
ii fglrx 2:13.200~beta-0ubuntu1~xedgers~saucy2 amd64 Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators
ii fglrx-amdcccle 2:13.200~beta-0ubuntu1~xedgers~saucy2 amd64 Catalyst Control Center for the AMD graphics accelerators
root@pc:~#


Hm on second look it seems that it simply has not loaded this driver instead of the generic radeon. I probably need to take a closer look at this.
