Ubuntu – Silverlight in Ubuntu 14.04

14.04monomoonlight

I want to enable Silverlight on Ubuntu 14.04. I have seen this question that provides a link to moonlight. However, the latest version of moonlight, seem to support only Mac, Windows and OpenSuse, while the previous version does not support Ubuntu 14.04. How is it possible for users of Ubuntu 14.04 to use an application similar with Silverlight?

You will need to install wine-compholio from a PPA called ppa:pipelight/stable. Basically, it runs Silverlight in a Wine environment. See here: http://www.compholio.com/wine-compholio. Install the package with your browser closed. When you reopen it, you should be able to use Silverlight sites.
For Netflix and a couple of other sites you will also need to adjust the user agent your browser sends out.

What do you want to do is not possible. At least not without making your system broken.

You can't install the Vivid version of ghostscript in Trusty. The package has some dependencies and one of them is libgs9 (= 9.15+dfsg-0ubuntu2.1). The version for libgs9 in Trusty is libgs9 (9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.4). Therefore, forget it. :)

Repair your system via

sudo apt-get install -f

In the meantime you could try this PPA

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:anton+/photo-video-apps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ghostscript

Safari uses webkit as web browser engine. You can use epiphany-browser which also uses webkit engine for debugging and checking the compatibility:
