LINUX SUPPORT IS HERE

[tatsu]

First, thanks to tatsu for his nice work. I had a close look at the script you created and at the video. It looks pretty nice but I didn't dare to use it as I was afraid to mess up my install

Hey man!

Thank YOU !

I'm doubfull that could be possible as the wine universe and the linux universe are very intentionally separate and what me and my script (which doesn't work right now, use this: http://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Setting_Up_FAF_Linux#Debian.2FUbuntu instead) are doing is running a native linux FAF .

obviously the Forged Alliance part can't be native so that stays in wine/playonlinux but that doesn't cause native FAF an issue at all.

Why would one run FAF native? well for dat sweet linux start time and snappiness. the app launch and every other aspect of FAF native is very much faster and more responsive.

you can have both solutions installed and plugging into the same FA at a time so if you feel up to it you're free to do so without any risk to your current install.

Glad you got it working for you! woop woop!

Hi,

After yesterday's update, my FAF client under playonlinux doesn't start anymore ...
So, following your advices, I tried to install the native linux FAF but didn't go very far. "python3-semantic-version" & "python3-virtualenv" cannot be installed. It looks that those packages are not available any more. I installed "python3.4-venv" and "python-virtualenv" instead.
For info, virtualenv --version gives me 1.11.4. I'm on Kubuntu 14.04/3.13.0-128-generic

So it looks like I reach the same problem than here. I've installed python3-pyqt5 but this doesn't help and I'm stuck there. Any idea on how to solve this?

Hi,

So it looks like I reach the same problem than here. I've installed python3-pyqt5 but this doesn't help and I'm stuck there. Any idea on how to solve this?

Oh salut ! un compatriote français!

damned straight you have!

I needed confirmation of this issue :

try uninstalling python3-pyqt5

Code: Select all

sudo apt remove python3-pyqt5

then run this :
http://download.qt.io/official_releases ... online.run

it's a .run file. a better installer format for linux that's cross distro. just make it executable by right clicking on it and going into properties and ticking "Allow executing file as program" under permissions

then double click it

and skip the account step and at the software to install part add a couple like qtwebkit and qtwebengine.

after that and a reboot runnig the same thing

Code: Select all

cd fafclient
source ./venv/bin/activate
python ./client/src

should work. if it does not add python3-pyqt5 back in.

[Herby]

Salut

Thanks you for your help.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. I still have the same error:

Code: Select all

herby@PC:/media/DATA/jeux/fafclient$ source ./venv/bin/activate
(venv)herby@PC:/media/DATA/jeux/fafclient$ python ./client/src
Traceback (most recent call last):

    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "./client/src/__main__.py", line 33, in <module>
    from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, uic
ImportError: cannot import name 'QtWidgets'

After checking, I can say that python3-pyqt5 didn't come back.
I've tried to search for a solution on my side and went through this post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/662595/ ... untu-14-04
This problem may be linked to my version of Ubuntu but not sure.
BTW, is it normal that the Qt installer installs everything in the home directory by default (~/Qt)?

[Herby]

I kept searching for a solution and I tried to install the client on Ubuntu 17.04 in vBox just to end up with a similar error when launching the client:

Code: Select all

(venv) ubuntu1704@1704:~/fafclient$ python ./client/src
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main

  File "./client/src/util/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
    from config import Settings
  File "./client/src/config/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    import trueskill
ImportError: No module named 'trueskill'

BTW, I noticed a few things that might help:
In kubuntu14.04, I don't have the file /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/virtualenv.py but I can find it in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
As a result I've replaced this line from the tutorial

Code: Select all

python3 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/virtualenv.py -p python3 --system-site-packages venv

by this:

Code: Select all

virtualenv -p `which python3` venv

However, I don't know if those 2 commands are equivalent.

I've also tried to compile sip4.19.3 & PyQt5 directly in the virtual environment but end up with the same error as in my previous post.

[tatsu]

BTW, is it normal that the Qt installer installs everything in the home directory by default (~/Qt)?

yeah seems like it wouldn't affect your system but actually that's not the only place it puts files so yeah normal.

you can try making sim-links to one and then the other :

Code: Select all

alias python=python3

or

Code: Select all

alias python=python2

and try with each to see if there's a difference.

I'm tempted to teamview into your PC and try my hand at the issue. if you're willing PM me on this forum.

[Herby]

In the meantime, I've installed the 2 things I wasn't able to install by downloading the deb ("python3-semantic-version" & "python3-virtualenv"). So I now have /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/virtualenv.py. I've recreated the virtual environment with the command line from the tutorial (python3 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/virtualenv.py -p python3 --system-site-packages venv) and it worked. But still had the same issue with PyQt5.
You're welcome to jump in through teamviewer, I send you a PM just after this...

Herby mayhaps try this :

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python3-pycparser python3-dateutil python3-requests python3-cffi python3-semantic-version python3-virtualenv python3-dev liblua5.1-0-dev xdelta3 git
mkdir fafclient && cd fafclient
python3 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/virtualenv.py -p python3 --system-site-packages venv
sudo pip install -U --force-reinstall pip
sudo pip install ipaddress lupa trueskill marshmallow-jsonapi PyQt5
sudo wget https://github.com/FAForever/uid/releases/download/v4.0.5/faf-uid -O /usr/bin/faf-uid

git clone https://github.com/FAForever/client.git
source ./venv/bin/activate
python3 ./client/src

Just gave it a try but no luck, I still have this bloody problem with pyqt5:

For info, I've tried a second time after running the command "alias python=python3" but the outcome is exactly the same. And, in the end, I have the same error than here when trying to start the client.

While I'm here, I can show you how things go when I compile SIP & pyqt5 inside the virtual env. I'm doing this with the help of this tuto. As it is quite long, I've uploaded the output in pastebin: https://pastebin.com/hyMRxdap
I have a few errors during pyqt configure but I don't know if it is really an issue.

Which version of python should be used in the venv? I noticed that I always end up with python3.4 but the client I've successfully installed in a VM uses python 3.5. But here again, I'm not sure if it is a problem.

On the POL side, can you tell me which components are needed to have the latest update of the client? I remember that those components only work in a 32bit environment so I wanted to try to reinstall the whole thing in 32bit to see if it helps.

Just gave it a try but no luck, I still have this bloody problem with pyqt5:

well see this in and of itself is not normal (E.G.: not the same as me on my computer)

We don't seem to have anything in common between my ubuntu and your kubuntu xD I never knew the two distros were so different xD

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python3-pycparser python3-dateutil python3-requests python3-cffi python3-semantic-version python3-virtualenv python3-dev liblua5.1-0-dev xdelta3 git
mkdir fafclient && cd fafclient

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/faf-uid
git clone https://github.com/FAForever/client.git
source ./venv/bin/activate
python3 ./client/src

Which version of python should be used in the venv?

for me both python 2 and 3 work the same.

I've done the sip and pyqt compile before it ain't worth the hassle...

so I wanted to try to reinstall the whole thing in 32bit to see if it helps.

irrelevant but regardless the components are compiled on pip install and all those are 32bit as for the rest it all comes with the git clone and is the latest version and I think it runs 32 bit regardless.
