Comment 4 for bug 1235918

Hi hoeg85,

as the DRM test page works XATTR is definitely available for Silverlight, even if you're probably missing the command line tool to test it via terminal. To fix this you can install the "attr" package:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install attr
but this will have no effect on SkyGo.

Does the italian SkyGo page mention that it will only work with Microsoft signed graphic card drivers or something similar? It is really a bit weird, but exactly the same configuration you're using seems to work for SkyGo in other countries :/

I assume you already did some testing, nevertheless I would suggest you to try:

1) select some other user agent strings, and retest - for example newer firefox versions, or alternative windows user agent strings. The user agent switcher somewhere offers a settings-menu where you can enter custom user agent strings. You can test with some of the strings for example from here:

http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Firefox/
http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Chrome/

2) You can also try to downgrade to 4.0 - even if the page states that a newer version is required, it could be just some kind of artificial check, not a real requirement. See: https://answers.launchpad.net/pipelight/+faq/2358

sudo apt-get install wine-silverlight4-installer

The following changes in ~/.config/pipelight are always required:
dllPath = c:\Program Files\Silverlight\4.1.10329.0\
silverlightVersion = silverlight4

These changes could help, if the page wants you to update your Silverlight version:
fakeVersion = 5.1.20513.0
overwriteArg = minRuntimeVersion=4.1.10329.0

.

If nothing of these ideas helps (and the other DRM pages work as expected) I suspect that they really require signed graphic drivers. The same problem would also occur on Windows, when you're using for example an old graphic card without signed drivers, or running it in a VM which doesn't have signed graphic drivers - do you know if some other customers have similar problems on Windows?
