[CentOS] Netflix, CentOS-6 and Docker for the lazy
This came up last month, so thought there might be some interest in it. Currently, CentOS-6.x's version of nss is too old to work with Netflix. Last month, there were a few posts mentioning the possibility of running a more recent version of chrome in Docker, so I made my own lazy person's howto. http://srobb.net/rhnetflix.html -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

What I have installed when I tested it: nss-3.16.2.3-5.el7.i686 nss-3.16.2.3-5.el7.x86_64 google-chrome-stable-41.0.2272.101-1.x86_64 (from google) After double checking with yum update and a reboot, I'm still locked out of netflix with the infamous M7063-1913 message. I have: nss-3.16.2.3-3.el6_6.i686 google-chrome-stable-41.0.2272.101-1.i386 which is the same upstream version of nss as Johnny's. Maybe it's something other than nss??? docker isn't a solution for me as it's 64-bit only. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Luckily along came Centos7, on which it is easy to install Chrome. But I would still prefer to run it in Firefox.

Install Docker, then install Chrome in a Debian or Ubuntu container. e.g. http://fabiorehm.com/blog/2014/09/11/running-gui-apps-with-docker/ HTH Lucian -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

No need to use Debian or Ubuntu in the Docker container :) Thanks, Johnny Hughes - Original Message - From: Bob Hepple bob.hep...@gmail.com To: centos@centos.org Sent: Friday, 27 March, 2015 01:41:14 Subject: [CentOS] Netflix Now that netflix is in Australia, I wouldn't mind giving it a burl.
