The PT410X thread: Linux/BSD and Open Source Software for users and beginners!
ankhtahr:
well, as pipelight heavily depends on Wine, no wonder
hedgie:
Obviously. But I have to be able to laugh at myself for being such an idiot. Odd thing is that the issue that I've been getting (I had to switch Pipelight providers after it broke w/ wine stable, and *that* repo required a higher version than stable) lately with Netflix is a "DRM issue", rather than Silverlight not working.
ankhtahr:
I've never gotten anything depending on Silverlight working. Not even on Windows. On both my notebook and my PC. Well, no Amazon Prime video for me. Their selection sucks anyway. So I uninstalled pipelight because it was only giving me trouble, even when I wasn't using it.
hedgie:
TBH, I didn't have much of a problem to get it running under Win7 Pro on my old laptop, but I don't know if the issue right now I'm facing is with Silverlight qua Silverlight, or maybe there's something else in my WINE install that isn't providing the DRM libraries that Netflix requires. It's rather annoying to switch video inputs on my display and then be stuck with the tinny laptop speakers (it appears that the audio-out port on that thing is fscked), and I'd really rather be able to watch stuff on my (*nix only) desktop. Further proof, I guess that DRM is evil and having that shit stripped is a pretty legitimate reason to pirate stuff IMO.
Stoon:
Hey all. Running Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon here.
My only complaint about it is the backup software that comes bundled with it sucks. Really bad. Will only get through part of a backup then just hang. Nobody likes it.
Every backup software I've tried has an incredibly bad interface, not clear how to use it, or just doesn't work.
Anybody have any recommendations for something that's easy to use and works? Keep in mind I'm not a coder.
