Package: hal Version: 0.5.14-7 Severity: normal I am aware that hal is deprecated and it is being phased out. Unfortunately, some online video streaming services require it for their DRM authentication like Flash player version 11:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/929/cpsid_92948.html However, installing hal on wheezy does not start hal automatically. Thus the video streaming fails (For example Amazon instant video service). This does not happen on squeeze where hal is started at boot time. I tried, naively, to copy the /etc/init.d/hal file (present in squeeze) into the same directory of my wheezy computer but this still didn't work. Could you please re-enable hal to start automatically if one decides to install it from the repositories? I mean it's not currently installed by default anyways, so allowing it to start automatically should be no issue, I hope. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (490, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu1 ii dbus 1.4.16-1 ii hal-info 20091130-1 ii libblkid1 2.20.1-1.2 ii libc6 2.13-26 ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.16-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.98-1 ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7.2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-6 ii libhal-storage1 0.5.14-7 ii libhal1 0.5.14-7 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-20 ii lsb-base 3.2-28.1 ii mount 2.20.1-1.2 ii pciutils 1:3.1.8-2 ii udev 175-3 ii usbutils 1:005-2 Versions of packages hal recommends: ii consolekit 0.4.5-1 ii eject 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-9 ii pm-utils 1.4.1-9 hal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ Pkg-utopia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-utopia-maintainers
