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.

The solution of the amazon instant video problem was simply to remove
the cache in my home/user directory (after installing hal):
rm -r ~/.adobe ~/.macromedia
And then restart your browser (with hal running).

My apologies for this. Hal activation is working fine and streaming
playback works as expected now. This bug is invalid and I'm closing.
