full ack, but ATM I don't think we should allow access to /dev/raw1394 in a default installation, it's just too dangerous. The easiest way to make it work locally is to change 40-permissions.rules (change the group for 'raw1394' from 'disk' to 'video' or 'plugdev').
I know that this sucks, but I'm afraid there is no sane short-term solution :( -- use /dev/video1394, not /dev/raw1394 https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/6290 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
