Comment 67 for bug 6290

The new firewire subsystem and udev rules to enable permissions for camera devices for members of group 'video' is in the kernel package in 10.04! Unfortunately so is the legacy ieee1394 stack, and guess which one starts up by default on my box? You guessed it: ieee1394 - sigh. Can anyone locate a ticket or document that explains why ieee1394 is still preferred over firewire?

Go ahead and read /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire.conf. Then, edit it to uncomment the non-firewire lines and comment out the firewire lines.

Can anyone really blame me for no longer working on Kino? Thank god new cameras are all file-based.
