Well, it's getting there. . .

First off, I can confirm that on my box, Ubuntu Studio Controls is now editing /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules. Something a little odd happened in my case, though. USC removed the line that said "#firewire device" (or something similar. You know, the comment line that says what device is affected) and replaced it with KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="disk", which should in theory be fine, except that it did not remove the KERNEL=="raw1394" line that is there by default, directly below that line, which places raw1394 in the 'video' group. Whether or not this matters, it did not work for me and I could not start JACK. So, I went ahead and removed that default KERNEL=="raw1394" line to see if that worked, and after restarting the computer, the group for /dev/raw1394 had indeed changed to "disk". That's a step forward, except that this still did not work, and I could not start JACK. Is there any reason /dev/raw1394 being owned by 'disk' would not give me the right permissions?

Anyway, I then just did what I usually have to do, which is to change the line to say GROUP="audio", put myself in the 'audio' group, and voila, it works again.

Hope this helps.

Hope that helps.

You know, after reading Eric's response, I'ma bit confused. USC definitlely added the GROUP='disk' line to my 50-udev-default.rules file, but it seems like Eric is saying that it is supposed to change the group to 'video'. Although, maybe it did this when I unchecked raw1394 access in the USC GUI at some point. So the other question I have is, if you're saying that USC is supposed to be putting firewire devices in the 'video' group, does imply that I should just be making a 'video' group and putting myself in it? As opposed to the 'audio' thing I have been doing (which is, I believe, what was recommended practice for Ibex)?
