I know that this question (how open Silverlight/Moonlight web pages in Ubuntu?) has been asked million of times, but it seems that no one of this solutions works for me. Even if I added legacy repositories, I'm still unable to install Moonlight plugin for Firefox.
Is there any way to resolve it or do I need to abandon Ubuntu and install Open Suse (which is natively supported by Novell Moonlight)?
Right now I'm dual-booting Ubuntu and OS X. The only thing I use OS X for is watching the DRM-ed Netflix stream. I've looked into ways of watching Netflix on Ubuntu, but it seems the DRM basically makes that impossible (Moonlight project says unless Netflix drops the DRM their Silverlight replacement will not allow watching of Netflix).
But then I realized, hey what if I stream Netflix to another computer running say, OS X, then somehow redirect it (using Unix magic) to my Ubuntu machine? Is this possible?
I'm watching The Bold and the beautiful on the site:

Yesterday I wanted to view next episode, however it didn't work. I checked various episodes from other points in time and none works. The "dots" that appear when a Silverlight video is loading are present, but after them there is only black screen (of death). I'm using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 32 bit with GNOME2 and firefox 3.6. I have all updates done. Could somebody check if any video is working for them and tell me their setup, please?
I'm using Moonlight 3. Two days ago everything was fine but later this problem appeared.
Even after I've installed all the Mono packages, I am still asked to install Silverlight when I visit Silverlight-enabled web pages.
Even after I agreed to do this and installed the Moonlight Firefox extension from http://go-mono.com/moonlight/, nothing changed - Silverlight applets still don't work and ask to install Silverlight (directing to http://go-mono.com/moonlight/).
How do I finally install it?
The situation is the same in Ubuntu 10.10 and Xubuntu 11.04.
They use silverlight -- therefore I installed moonlight but still get a black screen.
Is there a way to watch it on Ubuntu? I now use a virtual (windows xp) machine so I can still watch it, but would like to know it there are possibilities.
