LINUX SUPPORT IS HERE

[Wesmania]

What do you mean by 'In the dark'? I guess I can add that you have to install 'python-jsonschema' to the wiki, but I can't help random Ubuntu versions not having it when Canonical's pages say they do. Other than that, AFAIK the client didn't break on Linux - it's working fine on my Gentoo where I develop it.

I simply don't have Ubuntu installed anywhere, so unfortunately I can't really do the packaging / troubleshooting part myself

I'll shoot up a clean ubuntu 17.10 VM and see what's what. Maybe I fucked up something on my workstation.

I created an AppImage on my machine. Please test this on your distro and report whether this runs.
The download is here: https://github.com/muellni/client/relea ... 4.AppImage

[sandwormsurfer]

Here is the script I used: https://gist.github.com/20afe7ef8353fe2 ... 23cb125e06
If it succeeds, you should be able to create this package by running

Code: Select all

appimagetool fafclient-x86_64.AppImage

.

Are we supposed to do anything more than chmod 755 the AppImage ?

I got FAF working by using Python3 virtualenv with pyqt5.qt5webenginewidgets version 5.10.0.
Newer versions seems to have a bug.

My VM wont start for now but i can make a script for installation if wanted.



For now i struggle with my VM and a missing shader for SubCom.

Newer versions seems to have a bug.

Thank you !
@wesmania, I think the requirements.txt should be PyQt5=5.10.0
I can confirm it works !

[tatsu]

yeah but it was way better when we didn't have to install trhough virtualenv. who's packages can be very iffy as well with newer ubuntu versions. I'm gonna try with the above suggestion. So far haven't gotten FAF to work on 18.04

I know :/
Probably the AppImage idea could be a solution for all of us though.
