It appears that I Heart Ubuntu's campaign to get Netflix running on Ubuntu has paid off. The setup doesn't look easy, but it might be worth it. I'm trying it out now to see how it works.
How to install:
You can install the Netflix app quite easily with these commands:
EXT2/3 Filesystems:Code:sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
Open up fstab in you favorite editor. If you use Gedit, you can run this:
Now you need to add ,user_xattr to the fourth column the root filesystem line. It should look similar to this:Code:gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
Then just remount your root filesystem:Code:UUID=94f7fc1e-fa27-4b24-99f3-4b461665a4a4 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0 1
Sound Issues:Code:sudo mount -o remount /
If you're having sound issues with WINE on a 64-bit machine, some users have found this helpful:
Code:sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins:i386
