I just installed a clean version of 13.10 (Saucy) and tried to install Netflix using these instructions. The installation seemed to go fine, I opened Netflix after and it asked me to install a bunch of extra things through Wine, so I did. But after that, clicking on the Netflix launcher icon did nothing. No windows open, no error message...nothing. Then I tried running netflix-desktop from the terminal. It pauses for maybe ten seconds, then takes me back to the command prompt. No error messages or anything else is printed at the terminal. I tried running wine-browser too at the terminal and the same thing. However, if I run either of the aforementioned commands with sudo, it prints



wine: /home/jacob/.wine-browser is not owned by you
wine: /home/jacob/.wine-browser is not owned by you
wine: /home/jacob/.wine-browser is not owned by you


but otherwise the same behavior. Any idea what's going on? The only thought I have is that I installed an Nvidia close-source driver (version 319) and maybe that's doing something, but I have no idea. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, so turns out that Pipelight is the best solution. I went ahead and followed their instructions for installing Wine, and it worked like a charm. It's great because I can run it in my browser of choice, unlike the original method of running netflix, which makes you use Firefox. If you're having the same problem, try this. http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/pipelight-use-silverlight-in-your-linux.html
