I have installed moonlight from this post here:

the problem is, the application/website I am trying to use "requires" silverlight 5. is there anyway to trick the website into thinking I have silverlight 5 so that I can at least try it out and see if it works. the website is and its so that I can do my scheduling at work. If this doesnt work, its a near deal breaker for me and ubuntu..

or is there any other sources of a silverlight alternative/way I could access this website?

thanks.

EDIT: had to remove some code because post became too long. the following code is from pipelight installed on firefox 23 running on ubuntu 13.04

checking the terminal output shows lots of errors, so perhaps this site actually is incompatible:

I tried wine today, installed firefox 23, silverlight 5. Visited the website and seemed to get the same errors that pipelight got.. perhaps this is something that is wines fault then?

EDIT:

Just wanted to update to say that I tried this again with the newest release of wine, winetricks, wine-gecko, and wine-mono installed and it worked flawlessly. no caltype errors, no useragent spoofing required. Had to create a 32 bit wine prefix, and installed dotnet45 using winetricks. Visited websites using firefox. for reference, this was wine 1.735, winetricks 20141130, wine_gecko 2.34, wine-mono 4.5.4. I can confirm that this now works on Ubuntu 14.04 and an up to date Arch build.

Using Pipelight

My answer is credits Webupd8:

You can use Pipelight to provide you with Silverlight support.

To install it:#

Make sure to close your browser first, if not you will need to run an extra command.

From the terminal:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mqchael/pipelight sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install pipelight 

From the GUI:

• Add the repositories to your software sources:

  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mqchael/pipelight

After refreshing your sources, install pipelight If this icon doesn't work simply search for it in the Software Center.

If you kept the browser open, run:

rm -rf ~/.wine-pipelight/ 

Next step, make sites that block Linux work:

Use one of these two addons (F:

Or this one (Chrome):

If you get slow playback, see:

Alternative solutions:

Using a Windows browser on top of Wine.

You can probably use Silverlight 5 on top of a Windows Browser using Wine. I have not tested this option but it is pretty reasonable and straight forward.

• Install wine
• Download and install your browser.
• Download and install Silverlight for Windows as you normally would do on Windows.
• Live long and prosper.

Using Windows in a Virtual Machine.

If you don't want to give up Linux, but can't get anything else to work, this is the best bet. You need a valid copy of Windows however as I won't give steps for pirating.

• Install virtualbox
• VMWare Player is an option as well, as well as Qemu, etc; but I highly recommend Virtual Box.
• Download and install the Virtual Box extensions (optional).
• Using a valid Copy of Windows, create a new Virtual Machine in Virtual Box.
• Install your browser of choice (if necessary) or use Internet Explorer.
• Install Silverlight.
• Enjoy your coffee or beverage of choice (absolutely necessary step!). Skipping this step will result in the process not being as rewarding as intended.

CLOSE FIREFOX BEFORE THIS INSTALATION OR YOU WILL EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pipelight/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight-multi sudo pipelight-plugin --update 

The following commands install system wide. To install to the user only do not use sudo.

To enable silverlight system wide

sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight 

for the windows version of adobe flash system wide

sudo pipelight-plugin --enable flash 

for widevine systemwide

sudo pipelight-plugin --enable widevine 

And there's even a Unity3D plugin

sudo pipelight-plugin --enable unity3d 

This does not work for google-chrome or chromium, only firefox.

source

.

I followed the steps, but my Ubuntu 14.04 would not want to do the install pipelight. I then switched the /etc/ubuntu/source.list to use us.archive.ubuntu.com and after that all went smooth. Maybe it helps someone else to avoid a lot of headaches.. See this question on Ask Ubuntu for further reference.
