![]() Download and install the following packages for your Slackware version and architecture: I made them available for Slackware 14.0 and 14.1, both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. ? First, you need a couple of my packages (you may have some of them already). And now, how to get this all working in Slackware? As a user you will not notice anything from that “magic” and you can simply use Silverlight the same way as on Windows. Only the initialization parameters and (sometimes) the network traffic is send through them. The used pipes do not have any big impact on the speed of the rendered video since all the video and audio data is not send through the pipe. When you open a page with a Silverlight application the library will send all commands from the browser through a pipe to the Windows process and act like a bridge between your browser and Silverlight. The Windows program, called “pluginloader.exe”, simply simulates a browser and loads the Silverlight DLLs. Pipelight consists out of two parts: A Linux library which is loaded into the browser and a Windows program started in Wine. Let me quote verbatim from the project page, because I can not phrase it better: This modified Wine ( wine-pipelight) is combined with a new browser plugin ( pipelight) that embeds Silverlight directly in any Linux browser supporting the Netscape Plugin API (yes… the API which Google is planning to drop from its Chrome browser in 2014… not playing nice here, Google!).

The most promising (in fact as it turned out, the only) solution appeared to be Pipelight. In my article, I mentioned that I was looking at ways to render SilverLight based websites in a Linux browser. A disastrous move induced by an arrogant company, which of course leaves Linux desktop users out in the cold. You may have read my earlier rant about dutch schools migrating (or forced to migrate) to a Microsoft SilverLight based learning management software called Magister. No true web developer would want the web app users to be downloading an external utility so that they can use the web app.That is the exact title of an article which appeared on last august. Secondly, web developers using silverlight seriously need to learn some web development skills because it is frustrating for the users to download an external utility just to view one single page. I would say it is bad at web developers end to be using silverlight in their web applications.

What we did here is install moonlight first. Sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mqchael/pipelight Sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio Now to run the silverlight apps, just open your terminal and get typing few simple commands. Let’s get silverlight apps running on linux I searched around on google for more information and linked few solutions together which finally worked out for me.
