Jérôme, This sounds like a "just in case it works" suggestion. Unless ekiga and the plugins have been rewritten to work in an entirely new way (unlikely for a minor bump in the version number) I can't see how anything could have changed.
Anyway, always willing to do as I am told, I tried. Of course the latest versions simple try to open /dev/raw1394 just like before and fail. Also like before, chmod o+rw /dev/raw1394 makes it all work. If there is a bug at all, it is in whatever subsystem sets up permissions and ownership in /dev and/or the subsystem that decides what group a user should belong to. I can't see how ekiga or its plugins can get round that issue. There may be a problem in ekiga in that a diagnostic or hint that granting access to /dev/raw1394 might be required would help ordinary users. -- Firewire camera not found with ekiga 1394avc plugin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50923 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
