Ubuntu 14.04 Guest Session

Asked by Wild Rain

Hi Michael

Thanks for making it possible for us to enjoy streaming movies on Linux distros

I read your response to this question https://answers.launchpad.net/pipelight/+question/248227 regarding enabling and disabling Pipelight during a guest session in Ubuntu 14.04...

My situation is a little different in that I want to run Pipelight within Firefox during a Guest session but without having to download the installers each time.

Is that possible? Thanks

Hi,

you can prevent the download by placing the required files at a specific location. The following commands will create the necessary directory and download the files.

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/wine-browser-installer/
sudo wget -O /var/lib/wine-browser-installer/wine-silverlight5.1-installer.exe http://silverlight.dlservice.microsoft.com/download/B/A/9/BA94BEC9-5DBC-4B50-BC2B-046A42399067/30214.00/Silverlight.exe
sudo wget -O /var/lib/wine-browser-installer/wine-mpg2splt-installer.cab http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/0/D/80D7E79D-C0E4-415A-BCCA-E229EAFE2679/dshow_nt.cab

This will work as long as Silverlight does not get an update, which does not happen very often. However the plugin still needs to be installed every time you want to use Pipelight in the guest session.

Regards,
Michael
