-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi John,
Sorry it's taken so long for me to respond, but this sounds like the same problem I had.

It gives you complete and unrestricted to the IEEE1394 bus, so exercise extreme caution. Following the modprobe command I get: jt...@sixtymilesmile:~$ ls -l /dev/raw1394 crw-rw---- 1 root root 171, 0 2010-08-25 22:16 /dev/raw1394 My usual workaround is to add myself to the disk group: jt...@sixtymilesmile:~$ sudo adduser jtait disk Adding user `jtait' to group `disk' ... Adding user jtait to group disk Done. Log out and back in for the new group membership to take effect, then change the ownership of /dev/raw1394: jt...@sixtymilesmile:~$ sudo chown .disk /dev/raw1394 jt...@sixtymilesmile:~$ ls -l /dev/raw1394 crw-rw---- 1 root disk 171, 0 2010-08-25 22:16 /dev/raw1394 Kino is usually happy with this arrangement. It is possible to set up udev rules to the desired permissions, but to be honest I use the DV camera infrequently enough that it hasn't been worth looking into it. Hope that helps!
