Also, if you have "playonlinux" installed (install it if you don't), open it > Tools > Manage wine versions and pick the highest one you can find in the list, I would also do a restart afterwards!:

Wolfman

Did this command install the latest version of Silverlight (5.1) when you enabled Pipelight?. :D

Code:
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight

Stephanie

Sat Mar 21, 2015 8:02:11 pm

Yes >

zpc@zpc-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~$ sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight
[sudo] password for zpc:

zpc@zpc-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~$

Wolfman

I am not just talking about enabling Pipelight, did it install silverlight 5.1?. :D

Stephanie

Sat Mar 21, 2015 8:07:49 pm

Wolfman

Close all your browsers and run these commands then restart your browser:

Code:
sudo apt-get remove pipelight


You might get a knockback on this next one but do it anyway and continue!.

Code:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pipelight/stable


then the rest:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight-multi


Code:
sudo pipelight-plugin --update


Code:
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight


I will be back 2morrow, goodnight!. :D
