==Troubleshooting== | |||
===Incompatible OpenSSL library=== | |||
The EVE launcher requires the 1.0.x version of the openssl library in order to function, however, some newer versions of Linux distributions and those that use rolling releases include the 1.1.x version by default (this will be evident by the launcher simply not appearing at all when the script is run), so some extra steps to install the older compatibility library may be necesssary. | |||
#Download the older library from your distribution's repos | |||
#:'''Note:''' The following example is for Ubuntu. | |||
#:{{code|sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0}} | |||
#Add symbolic links to the libraries in the launcher's folder | |||
#:{{code|ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 {{Color|green|/Path/To/evelauncher/}}libssl.so}} | |||
#:{{code|ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 {{Color|green|/Path/To/evelauncher/}}libcrypto.so}} | |||

This should correct the issue temporarily, but the symlinks will be removed when the launcher is updated. A solution to this is to make your own script which checks for the existence of the symlinks, remakes them if they are missing and then triggers the launcher's script. | |||
#Create the wrapper script in your preferred editor | |||
#:{{code|$EDITOR {{Color|green|/Path/To/evelauncher/}}evewrapper.sh}} | |||
#Insert the following text and then save it: | |||
#:{{code|if [ ! -f $dirname/libssl.so.1.0.0 ]; then<br> ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 $dirname/libssl.so<br>fi<br>if [ ! -f $dirname/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 ]; then<br> ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 $dirname/libcrypto.so<br>fi<br>evelauncher}} | |||
#If you made a custom launcher file as above, you will need to change the path of the symlink in step 1 | |||
#:{{code|ln -s {{Color|green|/Path/To/}}evewrapper.sh /usr/bin/evelauncher}} | |||
<br> | |||
===QT Dependencies=== | |||
In some rare instances on Ubuntu, you may be lacking the required QT dependences for the launcher, This will manifest as some QT files not be located and the launcher window opening but not displaying anything. <br/> | |||
Instructions for this install are taken from here: https://wiki.qt.io/Install_Qt_5_on_Ubuntu | |||
