SBAC and 14.04

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this; let me know if I should post elsewhere.

Anyway, as UberMix based on Ubuntu 14.04 is developed have you had any experience with using the SBAC (Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium) lock-down browser with it? (We found the version 4.0 version of the SBAC browser to work fine. When the 4.3 version came out we installed it and it seemed to work fine, but we haven't had much opportunity to test it thoroughly yet).

We use UberMix on all of the student computers at our middle school and would like to use the 14.04 version when it's ready, but will need to be sure that the SBAC Assessment works with it.

I'll be sure to post our results once we're able to begin testing.

That browser is available at:   http://sbac.portal.airast.org/browsers/

It works, but is presently only a 32 bit application, so you'll need to install a few 32bit libraries to get it going. Open a terminal and 'sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libasound2:i386 libdbus-glib-1-2:i386 libxt6:i386 libncurses5:i386 sox:i386' . All should be well after that.

Thanks! We'll give it a shot.

I finally got a chance to give this a try. However, when I double-click on the install-icon.sh file I get an error message instead of a RUN command to click on. The error is: 'The file "/home/administrator/Desktop/SBACSecureBrowser6.3/install-icon.sh" could not be opened.'

I tried changing it to open with "Run Software", but nothing happened except for the "throbber" spinning for a few seconds.

The permissions are Owner(Me) Read-only  Group(administrator) Read-only   Others Read-only. I presume this is fine for the installer, but would like to know if I'm wrong.

(Note that I'm trying this on an install of Ubuntu 14.04, not in UberMix, but I hope to use it in the version14 UM when it comes out and want to be prepared).

Anyone have ideas?

Thanks,
