How To Install Silverlight Linux Mint 17

Active5 years, 9 months ago

Install Pipelight in Linux Mint for Microsoft Silverlight content Command in Terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio sudo add-apt-repository. All you need to do is spoof your user agent with an extension ( right here ). Netflix desktop has been depreciated for a while anyway. Even if not chrome, you should be using pipelight which is by the same devs but supports running silverlight in the native linux browser instead of a WINE browser.

I am just started to using Linux Mint.

I wanted to view a Microsoft Silverlight page, but, i needed Microsoft Silverlight. Microsoft redirected me, with my FireFox on Linux Mint, to Moonlight. I downloaded and installed the plugin. Restarted my Firefox serveral times, but still, the page is telling me to install Microsoft Silverlight.

One thing it might be worth trying is to install Moonlight through your package manager rather than from the webpage.

Install Linux Mint From Dvd

The Debian/Ubuntu package for this is moonlight-plugin-mozilla, so it should be the same on Linux Mint. I would use aptitude (command-line) or synaptic (GUI) to search for and then install this package.

If you use synaptic just search for moonlight and then pick the plugin to install.

Plate n sheet keygen free download. e.g. if you use aptitude then:

However, bear in mind that Moonlight isn't 100% complete, so it doesn't match Silverlight feature for feature. It's perhaps possible that for the page you're looking at Moonlight isn't up to speed.

It works now. Just now, an update came out, updated Moonlight, and now it works.
