Getting netflix.com to stream on ubuntu
Hello,
I have ubuntu 16.04 LTS on my laptop. Does anyone know how to get netflix.com to stream on any browser? I have spent a day trying to get this to work to no avail. -Any help would be greatly appreciated (one link suggested i use google chrome, but I cant get it to install. I tried searching for a simple download of the debian file and could not find it) -Steve |

Should Help as Ubuntu comes with Firefox OOTB. |
Hello,
I have completed all the configuration at this link, but after restarting firefox 50 it still does not work, I think because my pc is i386? Do you know where I can find a new version of chrome for ubuntu. I tried installing it via cmd line yesterday?? |
Google Chrome does not support i386 anymore. It sounds like Net Flix does not support 1386 either anymore if what I showed does not work for you.
I don't do netflix, sorry. I might suggest you buy yourself a cheap chromebook like I did <Mine is a older model C710). Use the hdmi slot for the big screen TV. Use Google Chrome on the chromebook since ChromeOS is based on it. Since you have a netflix contract. Do me a small favor. Give me a link to a computer review on your computer. Cheapest route if your computer is 64 bit capable. Is to start over and install a 64 bit version of Ubuntu instead of i386. If you also have this system info script installed. Open a terminal and copy and paste what I post below into the terminal and hit the enter/return key. Code:
inxi -F Then hit the # symbol in the reply box tool bar to get the code tags. Copy and paste terminal readout in between those ]readout goes here[ brackets surrounding the word code. |

Because it is proprietary software, Google Chrome is not available in Ubuntu's repositories. However, you can download a 32 bit copy of version 48 here. Once downloaded, just find where the package is located and double click to install it. It should be recent enough support Netflix. :) Regards... |
You can still get the 32bit version of chromium. That might work for Netflix.
Code:
sudo apt-get install chromium |
Hello,
Thank you for your replies. But I have to close this thread as I had to switch to lubuntu, as the pc im using is too slow. I ran the cmd in the terminal inxi -F and no such cmd exists thank you all for your help it is greatly appreciated :) Merry christmas |

Inxi isn't installed by default so you will need to install it using Synaptic or by opening a terminal and running this command... Code:
sudo apt-get install inxi If you installed a 32 bit copy of Lubuntu, give my suggestion above a try. :) Quote:
