Comment 1 for bug 1284900

Hi,

the next step (where it hangs in your case) should be that Pipelight installs all the dependencies required for Silverlight.
The askubuntu question you've linked above seems to be unrelated to your exact problem.

Please do the following steps to debug this issue and upload the resulting log files:

* At first try to reproduce the issue again, by enabling Silverlight, and opening the browser. Keep the browser open (in the background) and run the following commands (as regular user):

echo $HOME
ls -alh /tmp/wine-*.tmp
ls -alh ~/.wine-pipelight
ps aux | grep flock

Please attach the output of these commands to your bug report.

* Afterwards disable all plugins

sudo pipelight-plugin --disable-all
pipelight-plugin --disable-all

* Either reboot your machine, or manually kill all remaining firefox, wine and install-dependency processes

killall firefox
killall wineserver
killall install-dependency

Repeat these commands until no processes are left

* Delete all files called /tmp/wine-*.tmp

sudo rm -rf /tmp/wine-*.tmp

* Then run the dependency installer manually with the following commandline (in your regular user account!!! not root)

WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-pipelight WINE=/opt/wine-compholio/bin/wine bash -x /usr/share/pipelight/install-dependency wine-silverlight5.1-installer wine-mpg2splt-installer &> pipelight.log

If it blocks and doesn't finish after some time, then just press CTRL+C. Upload the log file pipelight.log from your current directory.
