This guide assumes you're on a fresh install of Ubuntu version 18.04 LTS

I made this guide using a virtual environment inside a Windows 10 host with fresh installs to test for accuracy.

I'm fairly new to Linux, so there might be easier ways. I just know I tried for hours and I thought I might be able to encourage others who are interested in Linux.

1. Install Ubuntu (Full Install, not minimal) and perform updates.
2. Load up Terminal found in Show Applications (Bottom Left Menu)
3. On Firefox Browser located on the navigation bar, visit:
    https://wiki.winehq.org/Download
4. Scroll down to Ubuntu link under Wine Binary Packages.
5. In Terminal copy/paste:
    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
6. Add the following in order, seperately:
7. Download the Nasomi Installer here:
    https://na.nasomi.com/download.php
8. Optional: Install qBittorent from the App Store.
9. Optional: Download Nasomi torrent version (it's faster for me)
10. Download the file imm32.dll.so here:
https://github.com/bluffnix/ffxi-wine/b%20...%20m32.dll.so
11. After download is finished go to files icon: Downloads
12. Before running Nasomi, we must run Wine for the first time.
13. Inside temrinal type:
    winecfg
14. Wine Mono Installer will appear. Click Install.
15. Wine Gecko Installer will appear. Click Install.
16. Wine Gecko Installer once again. Click Install.
17. Click OK on the Wine pop-up for now.
18. Right click NasomiXI.exe and choose Run With Wine Windows Program Loader
19. Run through the Nasomi setup by pressing Next, don't change any settings.
20. Optional: Setup your Nasomi forum account by clicking the pop-up, if you wish and don't have a Nasomi account currently.
21. Note: My SSD seems to install 2x faster in Ubuntu than Win10 running this Nasomi installer, just thought I'd point this out.
22. After install has completed, click finish.
23. Open up Files and choose the button towards the top right that has 3 horizontal lines and do the following:
    Put a checkmark on "Show Hidden Files"
24. Your Nasomi install is located at:
    Files > Home > .wine > drive_c > Program Files (x86) > NasomiXI > Square Enix
25. Click on FINAL FANTASY XI folder and navigate to:
    ToolsUS > FINAL FANTASY XI Config.exe
26. Under Genergal change fullscreen mode to Borderless Window Mode.
27. Screen size tab change resolution to your monitor resolution on all 3 selections.
28. Textures tab change everything to uncompressed.
29. Effects tab enable bump mapping and environmental animation to smooth.
30. Sound tab move slider to 20 sounds.
31. Misc tab unclick Show opening movie.
32. Press OK to exit menu.
33. Navigate back to Files > Downloads so we can use the imm32.dll.so file we downloaded earlier.
34. We need to replace imm32.dll.so located at opt/wine-stable/lib/wine
35. With our file being in download folder, run the following command in terminal replacing USER with your username (lower case):
    sudo chown -cR $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /opt/wine-stable/lib/wine
36. Go to Files > Other Locations > Computer > click the magnifying glass icon to search and type:
    imm32.dll.so (Location: opt/wine-stable/lib/wine) Ignore the lib64 one
    Right-click imm32.dll.so and click rename...
    name it something like imm32.dll.so(backup) click rename.
37. Now copy and paste our imm32.dll.so file from downloads into this location:
    /opt/wine-stable/lib
38. We should be done!
39. To play go to:
    Files > .wine > drive_c > Program Files (x86) > NasomiXI > SquareEnix > Ashita > ffxi-bootmod > boot.exe
40. Let's make a shortcut -- open your terminal and use the following commands:
    sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel
41. After installing gnome-panel, use following command to create a launcher:
    gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/.local/share/applications/
    A box should appear. Use the following:
    Type: Application in Terminal
    Name: Nasomi
    Click Browse and navigate to:
    Home > .wine > drive_c > Program Files (x86) > NasomiXI > SquareEnix > Ashita > ffxi-bootmod > boot.exe
    Click Open
    Command: add wine in front, so should look something like this: wine "/home/USER/.wine/drive_c/program files (x86)/NasomiXI/SquareEnix/Ashita/ffxi-bootmod/boot.exe"
    Click OK
42. You should now see an app located in "Show Application" called NasomiFFXI that we just made.
43. You will also see NasomiXI and NasomiXI Config, but these won't work.

There are a lot, and I mean a lot of extra steps here. There is an existing guide on http://nasomi.com/wiki/index.php?title= ... using_WINE

I think you may confuse people who are very unfamiliar with linux with the length and some of the things in this guide. If you want to add to the current one, with some of the nuances of whatever environment you installed on, that could help.

The goal should be to have the install guide for any linux distribution/mac version to be as close to as easy as it is on windows.

Greetings.
I followed the instructions in this post but as in my ubuntu 18.04 wine does not have the / opt / wine-stable / lib / wine directory I followed the wiki instruction and copied the imm32.dll.so file to the / usr / lib / wine / (this folder exists).

When I open boot.exe it asks for my login and password. Digito, returns success and then opens the game screen with a little window asking if I accept or not the terms of the game.
I click on accepted it loads a bar and the screen goes black and the game crash.
Do you have any idea what might be happening?

Edit: I'm removed Wine and reinstall :D
let's see this

That crash is caused by not placing the imm32.dll.so in the right place, usually.

How do you do this? Just copy the file to the specified directory?
Or do you have to do some extra configuration to do?

In time, I downloaded the current version of WIne and it is bugging with the time zone of my country. Alas I had to downgrade.

Just copy the file, yes.

I don't know what the right location is for you, sorry.

In fact your answers helped me a lot to know what to do.
In Ubuntu wine 3.0 18.04 the directories of the wine libraries are another (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/wine)
So I made a backup of the original file and replaced it with the commands below and PIMBA!

It worked beautiful, map opened, characters everything.

Many thanks for the help :D

Code:
$ cd /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/wine
$ sudo mv imm32.dll.so OLDimm32.dll.so
$ sudo wget http://nabutso.com:4438/FFXI/imm32.dll.so

Sorry, late reply here as you already fixed, but if anyone else is having trouble:

Just try doing a system search for imm32.dll.so to find the proper directory for your setup. It seems to be a different location depending on how you install WINE.

Looks like Nabutso quit this site or something. I found a copy of of it, give this a shot:

https://github.com/bluffnix/ffxi-wine/b ... m32.dll.so
