How to Install Silverlight Browser Support on Kubuntu 15.10 Wily 32-64bit Easy Guide

Installing Silverlight for Kubuntu Linux

Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install Silverlight Support for Firefox and Opera Web Browsers by the Pipelight Package on Kubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf GNU/Linux.

Pipelight allows one to run Windows browser plugins in the context of Linux browsers.

Especially relevant: Pipelight has been Discontinued and is Not Working in PPAPI Browsers with the best Security features.

To Achieve this Pipelight do:

• Connects the Windows DLL with the Linux process
• Translates between platform dependent differences on the NPAPI
• Uses a Patched Wine version

Pipelight needs to start Wine to execute the pluginloader. This May Slow down the Start of your Browser.

1. Open a Shell Terminal emulator window
   Ctrl+Alt+t on desktop
   (Press “Enter” to Execute Commands).

   

   In case first see: Terminal QuickStart Guide.
