My Linux skills are near non-existent but to pass on some of my experience to the next newb trying to install showeq..

- I used Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=254
- Created a bootable USB drive using Rufus https://rufus.ie/en/ and the ISO I downloaded from the first link.
- Followed every step from the top post, and only the steps they listed.
- Downloaded Brewalls Maps https://www.eqmaps.info/wp-content/u...l-20230623.zip and extracted the zip into my Home>Downloads
- Downloaded the converter to convert the maps for Showeq https://www.showeq.net/forums/attach...8&d=1691079719 , just unzip it and put it in the Brewalls maps folder and execute it.
- I copy/pasted al the maps and everything I just converted into /usr/local/share/showeq/maps (the folder has permissions ? sudo chmod -R 777 ./ in the show eq maps folder, probably not the way but it worked)

I tried to used port mirroring on my switch and ShowEQ just wouldn't work, try as I might I couldn't get it to function. I purchased an Ethernet HUB from Craigslist to $10 and BAM!, in business.

To run showeq I use the command sudo ./showeq eno2 --ip-address=192.168.1.110 (eno2 being your ethernet adapter, type ifconfig to get this info, and the IP address of your EQ machine)

Thanks to everyone and the hundreds of posts I sifted through that people took the time to post, I tried numerous builds and this worked the best

I just want to report that I bought a cheap, managed switch from Amazon (Netgear GS308E, about $40), and was able to use the port mirroring to get showeq to work quite easily. I already had an 8-port unmanaged switch, so I just swapped it for the managed one, then it was just a matter of mirroring my game machine to my machine running Fedora 38.

I want to use SEQ to debug a performance problem I am having during raids. I seem to be getting my gina triggers much later than other people, so I'm trying to figure out if the trigger message is making it across the wire long before Gina triggers on it, or if the problem lies elsewhere.
