Another attempt at netflix under opensuse

English Multimedia
#1

Okay so I waited a bit and gave openSUSE 12.3 a go, while very nice there is still one thing missing.
The ability to play netflix on opensuse.
I can do it in Ubuntu, I can do it on fuduntu, but not on openSUSE

Now I did request a package of this for opensuse over at openfate and it got rejected, I tried compiling it too and no luck.
Now this round things seem very close to getting it working but its still giving me errors, even after seemingly sucessfully converting the packages over from ubuntu via alien.
My issue seems to be sudo, I have tried sudo but to no avail and I get this:

** (zenity:14623): CRITICAL **: atk_bridge_adaptor_cleanup: assertion `inited’ failed

** (zenity:14628): CRITICAL **: atk_bridge_adaptor_cleanup: assertion `inited’ failed

** (zenity:14635): CRITICAL **: atk_bridge_adaptor_cleanup: assertion `inited’ failed

** (zenity:14639): CRITICAL **: atk_bridge_adaptor_cleanup: assertion `inited’ failed

** (zenity:14646): CRITICAL **: atk_bridge_adaptor_cleanup: assertion `inited’ failed

and yes zenity is installed

and non root terminal spits out the same error.
Is there any way to get sudo top bypass this in openSUSE?
I know openSUSE does use sudo but it seems limited to zypper.

Yeah I was surprised that there wasn’t a repo for this on OBS

#3

generally, you cannot distribute propriety stuff through OBS

#4

yeah thus another issue.

As for my issue I semi solved it, by trying an older version of netflix desktop with help from fuduntu.
But its a semi workaround as I was able to fix wine-compholio via alien but I cant get a link working to my wine firefox.
How can I get a workaround for this?
what I need to point to is located in /.netflix-desktop/drive_c/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe but creating a desktop link fails.

Yup manually creating a desktop link works, thank you.
I just had to create my own .desktop file and edit.
Kind of a pain though, never had that kind of issue before on other KDE’s or linux distros.
