Okay. Amazon video is working in google chrome even without libhal1-flash. I still get errors in Iceweasel and chromium. % dpkg -l google-chrome-stable iceweasel chromium libhal1-flash pepperflashplugin-nonfree Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-===========================-==================-==================-=========================================================== ii chromium 47.0.2526.80-1~deb amd64 web browser ii google-chrome-stable 47.0.2526.106-1 amd64 The web browser from Google ii iceweasel 38.4.0esr-1~deb8u1 amd64 Web browser based on Firefox dpkg-query: no packages found matching libhal1-flash dpkg-query: no packages found matching pepperflashplugin-nonfree One thing of note is that I installed libhal1-flash, pepperflashplugin-nonfree and removed them while testing it out. I am not sure if that did the trick. But now it works with google chrome even without libhal1-flash. -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
