Originally by: CCP Lingorm Some days you can't win.
I have just been informed that we have had a fan failure on the testing server that we are using for the Test Server. it now keeps overheating and shutting down.
We are organising a replacement ASAP and I will let you know how we are going with that as SOON as I have news.
Only one word comes to mind here: M U R P H Y |

Very nice Lingorm. *Khanin Gher sends Mr Murphy far far away, in the hope he doesn't screw up the chance of receiving instructions for the beta.* Mr Murphy has bin here for long enough. |

Linux install is now available.
Have fun and remember that this is not a high spec server and if you ALL log in at once then it will lag, so please be gentle.

Apparently Mr murphy wasn't quite as far away as i would have liked. Guess i'll have to wait for the open beta. |

I had some problems with spaces at the end of the md5 link. Just a heads up in case someone gets problems with the md5 verification. (Remove the extra spaces and it should download the correct file instead of a 404 error thingy.)
(This applies to the linux version.) |

I had some problems with the installer from the debian package. it seems to add an additional .md5 to the filename. I changed a bit in the updater.py file to fix it... But I somewhat doubt I'm allowed to redistribute the file  . Anyone with some programming experience can do it, even I who have never written a line of python in my life!  Is this something others have experienced too? Trying to start the game now...! |

Have I missed it in thread, or have we yet to get the beta forums for the test plans etc.? |

right, where do we post bug reports?
so far everything installed fine and seems to be working (except my password) but I have 2 small bugs to start with: 1) On the Linux installer, the description (bubbles) of the options (single user / multi user) has been inverted 2) it's not recognizing my second screen and turns it off. This would make it impossible to have 2 accounts on at the same time (which i currently manage with the "normal" Cedega) 3) the new installer changes the engine on the ALREADY INSTALLED version of Cedega + EVE. Not good |

odd... because I got the additional .md5 at the end at first aswell, but that was with the extra spaces, and when I removed them I didn't get that anymore...
Anyway, a much simpler way than editing a file to fix it would be to simply rename the file 
Great minds think alike, I tried that first too!  Leading to it trying to untar whatever.dat.md5 which of course didn't work out that well either! Anyhow, does the client work for you (and others)? I get splash and crash...  |

I am getting: Sorry, we were unable to unpack the game in the temporary directory /home/jeremy/.cedega/.game_updating.
It looks like it is trying to unpack the md5 file?

I find an way:
You must copy the *.*dat and *.*dat.md5 file in the trash and then you must type in the konsole eve single user isntall and when the setup ask about the *.*dat file you must copy the *.*dat and *.*dat.md5 in the same folder and chosse the *.*dat file over the setup programm and than setup will go :) |

I installed game succesfully but it doesn't start and I don't know what could be the problem. I run /usr/bin/eve and checks download, untars game, everything seems to be fine, until it tries to start the game: Last part of console output: F1 2007-10-03 20:35:13,775 INFO In Updater::need_update.

Good find! It only misbehaves when the installer finds the files in one of a few predetermined directories. Putting the dat and md5 in a subdirectory and browsing for them manually in the installer will do the trick. edit: Still no success with running the client however...  |

I got far enough to know that my password didn't work  Did you run the configure thingy before trying to start the game? (I'm running 64 bit ubuntu here btw (using the "generic .deb" file)) |

Nice catch, Also if you have tried to install it in multiuser mode into a different folder you will have to install to that folder to get it to work. (I hope) |

Ok, I went from splash to black screen like the Arial fonts are not installed. |

So what we know so far:
1. The files must be stored outside of the home directory. Create a sub directory and put them in there. You can keep the .deb file in the home directory.
2. Install the deb file.
3. Run the EVE icon, this will eventually prompt you to brows to the installation package, and allow you to install.
4. If at any point you have tried to do a multiuser install you need to do a multiuser install to get eve to install otherwise it still thinks that it needs to be installed into the multi user directory.
5. For me I am able to load eve, I get a splash screen then a black screen as if there are no fonts installed. I tried to install fonts manually and this still did not fix the issue. |
