I did run the other option of installing through lutris but it is next to impossible to read and last time I attempted to run it, (which was months ago) minion would simply crash. I like the instructions from Dolby, but it sounds like I need to install the JavaFX for it to properly install. the .jar UPDATE: I'm just using the Lutris install instructions to run Minion. I am not going to worry about JvaFX right now, don't need to. |

I'm a relatively new Linux user testing out Manjaro 21.07 (KDE Plasma) as my possible Windows replacement and finding that every moment is a learning opportunity. Here's what I did (craddle to grave) in case the steps help someone else: 1) Installed ESO via Steam/Proton (steam pre-installed by Manjaro KDE) 2) Copied my pre-existing Windows Addon folder to the new Linux/Steam path... /home/<userid>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/306130/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns/ 3) Downloaded and extracted the Minion Java archive file to a Minion folder on my desktop 4) Used Manjaro's "Add/Remove Software" to install jre8-openjdk-headless 8.u292-1 5) Opened the Minion Folder on my desktop and launched a terminal from there 6) executed java -jar Minion-jfx.jar... and received the "Could not find or load main class gg.minion.Minion" error 7) Found Techwolf's note and used Manjaro's "Add/Remove Software" to install java8-openjfx 8.u.202-3 (quite possibly the only software I needed to install as it includes the JDK in its dependencies) 8) Returned to the terminal session at the Minion Folder and re-executed java -jar Minion-jfx.jar... Success! 9) copied the Null folder update over the original JAR 10) Returned to the terminal session at the Minion Folder and re-executed java -jar Minion-jfx.jar... Success! 11) I noticed Minions tree for navigating to the addon folder was not showing hidden folders, but found that if I clicked the pencil you could type/paste in your own path... /home/<userid>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/306130/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns/ 12) I watched in the terminal as it successfully parsed all my addons, but noticed that the UI didn't update with my ESO Addon list 13) Closed Minion and relaunched once more via terminal... java -jar Minion-jfx.jar... Success, ESO and it's addons listed as expected! 14) Added a minion.sh script to my desktop with the following code so I can click-to-launch (replace your userid for <userid>) Code:
#!/bin/bash |

Just posting an update since its been awhile and I just had to test Minion in Ubuntu 18x.
This is what I did to get Minion running...
|
Just out of curiousity, would this work with openjdk? If so we could just package it up as flatpak or appimage so we don't have to go through so much work just to get it running.

Lutris!
I've written a script to install Minion-java properly on Lutris (without wine).

Updates of Minion do not work?
Well I'd refrain from not installing the updates and using it like that as the log4j security fixes are only available in the updted Minion 3.0.6+ versions, but not in any 3.0.5 version (or early 3.0.6 versions). |
Can't start minion anymore
3 Attachment(s)
I'm having a weird issue with minion on my Linux machine, I followed the instructions on how to install and also got it working.
Didn't use minion for a while then (about 2 months or so), and now I can't start it anymore. It keeps throwing exceptions on startup (Only visible when starting from terminal), and the window is not fully shown, just the border. There it hangs forever, see terminal.txt. minion.log is also included, but probably not helpful. After some testing, I found out that it seems to be an issue with the proprietary NVIDIA Driver, maybe an update broke this. When I switch to the free nouveau driver, I can start minion normally and it works as intended (Systemdetails: system.txt). I installed it like this: "Minion-jfx.jar" + "lib" and the required java-runtime in the same directory, with a startscript containing the following: Code:
#!/bin/sh Thanks and Regards, XXXBold |
Is there like some easy mode *cough* to get Minion workin on Steam Deck ?

As long as you can get java 8 installed on it I dont see why it wouldn't work. |

If you use Linux and Minion is not working, someone made a simple addon downloader:

Minion 3.05 appears to be broken on Linux - I had minion working just fine, and then suddenly my install was broken. Installing via Lutris fails as does installing via the AUR package available for Manjaro/Arch users.
Seconding the addon downloader as a meanwhile solution. EDIT: And now it's working... v0v |
I currently am working on a flatpak for Minion. I made it work with a flatpak installation of ESO on Steam. The only current problem I'm facing is that darn auto-update message and the fact that flatpak is Read-only. I did ask for some help on the flathub forums but I'll respond here when an update happens.
Edit: Here it is on github, I'll see to add it to flathub these days as soon as I am finished with college tests. The issue is still present and can not be fixed because otherwise it would cause a big safety risk. I'll be able to update it there only when the devs update minion. I could update it by essentially putting Minion binaries and libs in the repo itself but that would break the EULA afaik so I'm not gonna' do that. Edit v2: I realized that that version doesn't actually support aarch64 for people running macs w/ linux so I'm working on that first. |
New update: I managed to make it work on aarch64/ARM64 devices, thankfully I had a high-performance ARM64 ubuntu server with an RDP connection.
The repo itself does not hold any minion code, it downloads it from the website during installation. To actually post it on flathub I do need to permission, so @Baertram, with you being the developer of it, is it alright for me to submit the aforementioned repo to flathub alongside the domain I've put it on `com.mmoui.Minion`? edit: Quote:
You have the github link above so you can check it out and do holler if you're not okay with something! |
Hello Zastrix,
I'm not the developer and I'm not involved into Minion by any ways ;) I'm just one of the helping hands around. Please contact Dolby for that, at best via PM. |
Oh my bad! I saw you on multiple posts and I thought it was like that!
Thanks for the answer! I'm gonna' do that right now! Edit: We are discussing the details over it but Minion will be available on the flathub/system stores eventually! |
Hello all, i had yesterday the same Problem as others, Miniongg would not start and it shows an error:
Error: Main class gg.minion.Minion could not be found or loaded I use Manjaro Linux and i use the aur package. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/miniongg I found out that Miniongg needs as dependencies: java8-openjfx https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/java8-openjfx to build this it needs python2. I edit the packagebuild from java8-openjfx and delete python2 from the list and build the package, than i install miniongg again Now i can start miniongg and it works as it should |
@hanny00
Did you have python2 installed already perhaps? When I edited the java8-openjfx pkgbuild file to remove the python2 dependency it still gave me an error that seems like it absolutely requires python2. This was on Arch. -- Found PythonInterp: /home/elzzid/.pyenv/shims/python (found suitable version "3.10.9", minimum required is "2.7.0") CMake Error at Source/cmake/WebKitCommon.cmake:25 (message): Python 2 is required, but Python 3 was found.

Just for new people, you might want to look at this github PR https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/4144 it's where I started the post Minion on flathub and just waiting for some information currently. There is a command to install it from the test repository as one of the latest few comments of the PR.
Also, if you're using an Nvidia cards there's no black screen stutters while running Wayland. :banana: I've added access for ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam and ~/Games. You can add ESO from Steam via this path: Code:
