Netflix Error N8156-6205

Hi,

[ I assume you're using our ready-to-use packages including wine-compholio. If not (and you tried to compile it manually) then the reason could be related to a missing dependency during the build process. ]

It might be possible that you're using a filesystem without XATTR support. To check that please run:

sudo apt-get install attr

And afterwards, as a regular user:

touch ~/.xattr_test && setfattr -n 'user.testAttr' -v 'attribute value' ~/.xattr_test &> /dev/null; getfattr ~/.xattr_test 2>&1 | grep -q user.testAttr && echo 'It works!' || echo 'No workie!'; rm ~/.xattr_test &> /dev/null

If you get the message "No workie!" then you're either using a file system which doesn't support XATTR, or you have to manually enable it. I can give you some more instructions how to do this, please post the output of "mount" and the content of "/etc/fstab".

If you get the message "It works" then I would recommend to check, if you're really using our latest versions. To do this please run:

dpkg --list | grep "\(wine-.*-installer\|wine-compholio\|pipelight\)" | sed 's/ \+ /\t/g' | cut -f2-3;

Sebastian

Thank you for your reply. I did use the ready-to-use package as instructed for ubuntu.

I ran the lines that you posted and I received the message "No workie!" The output of "mount" is below:

/dev/sda3 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755)
none on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=5242880)
none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/mhans13/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=mhans13)

The folder "fstab" (mine says "fstab.d" if this makes a difference) has nothing in it.

Thanks again!
Mike

Hi,

its a bit unusual, but it seems that you don't have XATTR enabled, which should normally be the case.
Moreover you should have both the file "fstab" and a directory "fstab.d" - are you sure that you didn't miss it?

To enable XATTR you should try to add the option user_xattr to your /etc/fstab file (if it exists), if not I have also no clue where its stored then. Basically you have to open this file, and just have to append it for the specific device options, in your case the device /dev/sda3 which is mounted as /.

Here are some examples of what it should look like:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/124102/how-do-i-enable-extended-attributes-on-ext4
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Netflix/Pipelight#Adding_support

After you have added the flag, you can either just reboot, or even better use:
sudo mount / -o remount
to remount the partition without having to reboot.

You can use the same test as above to verify that XATTR is enabled afterwards.

Sebastian

Sebastian,

Sorry to hijack, but I've got the same Netflix error and ran the commands as you suggested.
I get the following. Could you confirm if the packages are up to date please and advise accordingingly?
Many thanks

Hi jegpad,

there was a regression in wine-compholio1.7.13. You can either wait a bit and upgrade your packages again (fixed version is already on the build servers, but they are always so slow :( ), or if you want a direct solution, please take a look here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pipelight/+bug/1283025

The answer #4 lists URLs to the previous wine-compholio build. Just download the one matching your distribution (13.10) and install it with "sudo dpkg -i the_file_you_just_downloaded.deb".

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Many thanks for your lightning fast response, much appreciated. I'll have a go.
And thanks to you and the FDS Team for such generous and comprehensive help on the Pipelight installation which I found here http://fds-team.de/cms/pipelight-installation.html#section_3

Jane

Sebastian, Just an update - installed previous wine-compholio and set up user agent. All working tickety-boo. Thank you. Jane

Why so complicated? This bug was fixed on the same day when the regression was introduced. In the meantime there is a new version 1.7.13-1 which also fixes this bug, so just updating again would have been sufficient - only 1.7.13 (without "-1") was affected. ;-)

Nevertheless I'm glad that its solved.
