Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
insted of using my dv camera from sony in kino over the firewire stack,
i became the message firewire module not loaded.
The problem was that it doesnt gave an udev-rule for that, and normal
users arent allowed to use firewire.
I wrote this little script.
"It specifies the udev rule, creates the group firewire, set the rights,
and restarts udev:
"which was left out by Ubuntu's udev maintainers" ‹ubuntu wiki
#!/bin/bash
sudo addgroup firewire &&
echo 'KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="firewire", MODE="0664"' |
sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/50-raw1394.rules
sudo restart udev
but with that patch the user has full acess over the firewire device
(which has dma!), so a wrapper would be bether to solve this big
problem, but i dont know much enough about the firewire stack, and I do
not find enough information with google to write a wrapper.
