content: I think I got EAGLE running on Debian 10.6 (amd64), but I get a screen that asks to log on to Autodesk, but I don't see the EAGLE project panel. (some tricks were needed such as making a US-english locale and one other thing, as told on some www page.)edit: like this: (from autodesk site)dpkg-reconfigure locales (<- command in root console)select additional settings for the English languageen_US.UTF-8and more:http://blog.antiblau.de/2020/03/31/running-eagle-9-6-on-debian-10-buster/LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-dri3.so.0 ./eagleIs online log-on to Autodesk necessary to use newer EAGLE versions on Linux?edit: answer seems to be yes, also for windows versionOr, another question: Which other older version could you install on Debian (amd64 architecture)? And how?answer: gethttps://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/amd64/libssl1.0.0/downloadon amd64 debian 10.6 root console like: dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.4_amd64.deband eagle from:ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/program/7.7/Is there a way to run 32-bit (i386) Debian Jessie package on 64bit Debian?

content: It looks like you are new to Eagle. If I'm right, are you sure you don't want to give KiCad a try?KiCad is completely free, runs native on Linux 64-bit and doesn't require internet connection or an account.The free version of Eagle is limited and still requires internet activation, at least once every 14 days.

content: I'm not new to EAGLE, I've used it since version 4, on Windows. (It was from Cadsoft then.)I have installed also Kicad on this Linux machine.

content: There are 64-bit versions of the old Eagle v7.7 for Linux. I have it installed from the old days and as far as I can tell it does not need internet access. But now it is probably impossible to generate a new even free license for that version.

content: Here you can download the latest "free" version of Cadsoft Eagle:ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/program/7.7/The 64-bit Linux version can still be installed and used as a free/limited version withoutthe need to register and without the need of an internet connection.I noticed however, that on modern Linux distro's, the installer can give the following error:QuoteThe solution is to install an old version of libssl and libcrypto and start Eagle as follows:Code:LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libs ./eagleI copied libssl.so.1.0.0 and libcrypto.so.1.0.0 from an older distro (OpenSUSE Leap 42.3) to my actual distro in use (Leap 15.2).This way I can still open my old projects on Leap 15.2 (I use KiCad for new projects).

content: I downloaded amd64 package fromhttps://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/amd64/libssl1.0.0/download(yes that is actually for ubuntu but seems to go into debian)and installed it on amd64 debian 10.6 root console like: dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.4_amd64.deband then the 7.7.0 .run package installed eagle for a regular user to home directory (~/eagle-7.7.0/)Eagle starts from there saying "bin/eagle"

content: Autodesk EAGLE on Windows needs to Autodesk account too first to get to EAGLE control panel, it seems.But on Linux, it asks for some SMS (phone text message) for some kind of confirmation, too.I didn't do that yet...Question: Has Autodesk EAGLE Windows version asked for SMS for anyone? I mean, are Linux users being bothered more for some reason?edit: It gave up on asking SMS, after using Windows version of EAGLE
