Respondus Lockdown Browser required, can only use a Linux system
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
For an upcoming dual-credit college course, I am going to be required to use Respondus Lockdown Browser along with a webcam. The only systems with webcams are my own laptop and my mom's.
My laptop is running Ubuntu 16.10 and does not have dual-boot capabilities. All I know is that I was given it as a gift from a friend who works in cybersecurity. He asked about installing Ubuntu on it. Me, preferring Linux over Windows any day, said, "Heck yeah." He went on to say that he remembered something with the hardware that made it extremely complicated and difficult to install another OS instead of what it came with. He did, in the end, get it to me with Ubuntu installed. I'm explaining all this to help you understand why I cannot dual boot. I haven't tried to dual boot yet, because I do not wish to take the risk of bricking my trusty machine. Well, technically, it's Yakkety. (Pun intended)
My mom's laptop, on the other hand, runs Windows 10, which should run Respondus just fine. However she does not let me use it, ever.
I need a solution for my Linux machine. I've heard that it detects virtual machine usage and will refuse to run. I've seen several links to http://themadhacker.net/lockdown, which supposedly gives a detailed guide on using this with WINE. Unfortunately, the website is offline.
If someone who has found success with WINE could provide a guide, that would help a lot. Or, if there is a workaround for using a VM to run it, that would also do. As a last resort, I should be able to use my mom's laptop, though I would love it if I could use my own.
TIA, CPLOOK318

Thanks, but that was the appdb entry for the program named Respondus, not Lockdown Browser. appdb.winehq.org/… would be for Lockdown Browser, but the results are just as bad. However, they are old, and I still see many people with Wine success stories.

If you have an iOS device, Lockdown supports that. Out of curiosity, what model laptop do you have though ? It should not be so hard to dual-boot it...

The cached version of that page is mentioned here in the comments.
And here is another page which might be useful.
Perhaps it is a good idea to start a signature campaign asking the Respondus company to support Linux, as well as Virtual machine usage.
Only supporting Windows and Mac and no Virtual machine by them, is basically locking countless of Linux using people out.

Check if your school supports the Microsoft Imagine X (previously DreamSpark), through that program you'll be eligable to get a free version of Windows 10 education edition. An example page is here. You can then use your pc to either dual boot / run from vm the Windows OS. Good luck with your exam.
