LINUX SUPPORT IS HERE

[tatsu]

Are you guys experiencing UI scaling problems in the FAF client on linux?
Because for me its appearance is kinda raw:

that's a new one. no I don't get that.

If someone have such type of problems with client:

Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pyqt5 (from (line 4))

See the comment to the question above: "PyQt5 wheels only support Python 3.5 or later. So you cannot install the latest PyQt5 using pip with Python 3.4. – ekhumoro" – Taran Oct 2 '17 at 14:17

or your linux distro/pip do not support python3.5/PyQt5 (like my debian jessie) use miniconda(https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/install/linux.html) instead of pip

so update this guide a little: -> https://askubuntu.com/a/925976

Code: Select all

virtualenv venv -p python3  # replace python3 with python3.6 if you want to use Python 3.6 instead
source venv/bin/activate


to

Code: Select all

conda create -n venv python=3.5
source activate venv
pip install PyQt5
pip install -r requirements.txt

new release is out : https://github.com/FAForever/client/releases/
redo the steps.

So I installed ubuntu 17.10 over my ubuntu 17.04 (updates had ceased)

I followed the steps again and I think the faf build is no longer up to date with QT as it stands.

First off I had to install an extra package :

Code: Select all

sudo apt install PyQt5.QtMultimedia

once that was done FAF actually runs but gives this error :

Screenshot from 2018-01-21 18-22-02.png (203.86 KiB) Viewed 3783 times

the issue with that is I can't do anything about it. there is no standalone package for "QtWebEngineWidgets" as it stands.

How do I solve this?

EDIT: and this time installing QT5 from the QT5 website does nothing.

QtWebEngineWidgets deprecated or smth, try this

Code: Select all

not only is conda not native to ubuntu but once installed it still can't be used unless you point to the conda file specifically with each and every command and even then
it doesn't work :

Code: Select all

# To activate this environment, use:
# > source activate venv
#
# To deactivate an active environment, use:
# > source deactivate
#

t@tsu:~/faf-client$ source activate venv
bash: activate: No such file or directory

i have similar problem with qt, only conda help me

also, if you try install all package dependencies it not help. looks qt5 totatally f*cked

I gave up trying to use ubuntu's natives qt packages and went the virtualenv way, haven't had a single trouble, plus it's extremely fast to setup.
There might be a better way for venv with python3 but this one seems to work.

Code: Select all

virtualenv -p python3 faf

and then once you're in

Code: Select all

pip install -r requirements.txt

if you want to get into the venv from a clean terminal you'll need to use

Code: Select all

. bin/activate

from within the directory where you setup the venv.

the requirements install fails at cxFreeze for me.

EDIT : well I removed CXfreeze and faf seems to run just fine without it. :ß

EDIT: the menus now work ofc thanks to gnome 3 interface. won't be sticking with it though overall it sucks. I loose tons of screen real estate because maximise doesn't combine with top taskbar. I'll be taking Yunit as soon as it releases.

If you get missing QTWebEngineWidgets missing, what can you do?
