Netflix Desktop

Cannot boot netflix desktop. How do I troubleshoot?

Asked by Boris Doynov

Hello,

I have installed netflix desktop and have not run into issues during the process. The installation process has not run into any issues installing Wine, windows fonts, silverlight or any other accessory. However, when clicking on the Netflix Desktop icon in my Dash Home, nothing seems to happen.

I have removed/uninstalled/purged and reinstalled to no effect.

As a new Ubuntu user I am not sure how to proceed or troubleshoot.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Try running the application from the command line with debugging enabled (netflix-desktop --showdebug) and see if you can see anything happen that way. For some reason the "profile creation" stage doesn't always work properly, so you may need to remove the profile so that it creates a new one (rm -Rf ~/.wine-browser).

Can you help with this problem?
