Topic: TC2000 12 under Linux! Posted: Thursday, December 22, 2016 9:24:26 PM
Update to the two j22 May 12, 2014 posts in this thread -- The url link in the previous posts, http://fds-team.de/cms/pipelight-installation.htm no longer works but forwards to a site about Wine Staging. It may be that Wine Staging will do the same functionality as pipelight - I do not know. I do not currently desire to experiment with it. I did locate the following site which is an archive of the pipelight url and has the commands and instructions to install pipelight and the silverlight plugin -- https://archive.is/fds-team.de. At this page, select one of the Pipelight \| Installation links and then click on the link for the flavor of linux you have. It will bring up a page with the commands to run in a terminal which will add the pipelight ppa repository to your linux OS and install pipelight. Follow the instructions to add and enable the silverlight plugin. (In my case, when you type the command, silverlight was with a lower case "s"). I had tried and failed to manually add the pipelight ppa repository to my Linux Mint 18 software sources. The commands listed in the above archive worked. All this takes less than 5 minutes to complete and get TC2000 up and running in your web browser.

OK I messed up that link for pipelight in above post. Should be http://fds-team.de/cms/pipelight-installation.html.

I have been able to get tc2000 working on 2 linux mint machines. Was not able to get it using directions of akspeculatioins (problems with installing the Hoover ppa, etc). However, doing some google research on hoover led to the pipelight ppa which does the essentially the same function as the hoover. Go to http://fds-team.de/cms-pipelight-installation.html and follow the directions. Using Mint, I used the Ubuntu directions. Copied and pasted the teminal commands into a terminal window. When finished, opened my browser to tc2000.com and the silverlight plugin auto installed, then tc2000 opened. Takes less than 5 minutes. Installed on Mint 13 laptop and desktop. Desktop was originally Mint 9 and encountered some problems (can't remember details) so I upgraded 9 to 13 as it had been 3 to 5 years since I installed 9 and 9 is no longer supported. Many thanks to akspeculations.
