Unable to test extended attributes at location '/home/dustin/.wine-browser'.
I was trying to install the netflix-desktop app and everything went smooth until I tried to launch it and got this error
Unable to test extended attributes at location '/home/

Please try running:
mkdir /home/dustin/
/usr/share/
echo $?
and send me the output. Also, what kind of filesystem is your home directory installed on?

This is the output after running that code in the terminal
dustin@Mist:~$ mkdir /home/dustin/
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/
dustin@Mist:~$ /usr/share/
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/
import xattr
ImportError: No module named xattr
dustin@Mist:~$ echo $?
1
dustin@Mist:~$
The filesystem my home directory is installed on is Ext4

Huh, it should have automatically installed that - try:
sudo apt-get install python-pyxattr
and then run again:
/usr/share/
echo $?

I get the same exact output as last time. I have a feeling its something to do with Lubuntu. I think Lubuntu (being a lighter version of Ubuntu) doesnt install the same things that comes preloaded with Ubuntu, causing these errors.

It's possible that it's because of the python version you're using, would you mind running "/usr/bin/python" and seeing what version it is? You should be able to run "import xattr" from the terminal that creates and have it not return an error.

Hmm, this is what it returns after I put in both codes:
dustin@Mist:~$ /usr/bin/python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import xattr
>>>

Hmmm. Could you try the same thing with "/usr/bin/env python" ?

Could you please run "which python" from a terminal and send me the output? It looks like your system may be using a non-repository python by default.

Here you go.
dustin@Mist:~$ which python
/usr/local/
dustin@Mist:~$

Yup, that's the problem - did you install a custom version of python on purpose?

Not purposefully, I installed lubuntu and couldnt find any version of python installed so I just went to the Synaptic Package Manager and installed them all.

Well, then you _should_ be able to work around this by moving/removing the custom version at /usr/local/

Oh boy, another problem. When I go to watch something on netflix it either freezes after clicking on something to watch or it gets to where it would normally load but there is just a black screen.

Thanks that worked. Any idea how I can configure it to disable hardware acceleration automatically, so that I dont have to run the command in the terminal to watch stuff?

You can edit the launcher with:
sudo gedit /usr/share/
Just change the line that says:
Exec=netflix-
to:
Exec=netflix-
If you send me the output of glxinfo (glxinfo > glxinfo.txt) then I can potentially add it to the auto-detection list.
