I never had problems with this device in the past. It works fine on windows and with skype. I have also participated in some video conferences using this camera and never had any problems. The problem started only recently when I upgraded the packages. FWIW, I get "A plugin is needed to display this content." error even when I go to https://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ , https://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/authorwareonly.html . Since this has nothing to do with the webcam, I believe the problem is in the software rather than hardware. >> [...trim] >> System configuration: >> I am using a mix of Debian Jessie and Wheezy >> >> The complete list of insalled packages can be found at >> >> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-OMw5Fsje3kWHFESENPQ3RFSXM/view?usp=sharing >> which is generated by running >> $ dpkg -l | grep ^ii >> >> But here are the main ones >> rajulocal@hogwarts ~ % dpkg -l iceweasel google\* \*flash\* | grep ^ii >> ii flashplugin-nonfree 1:3.6.1 amd64 Adobe Flash >> Player - browser plugin >> ii google-talkplugin 5.38.6.0-1 amd64 Google Talk Plugin >> ii iceweasel 31.4.0esr-1~deb7u1 amd64 Web browser >> based on Firefox >> >> Question: >> Is video chat in gmail using iceweasel working for anyone running >> Jessie?
