Cant use firewire for DV capture

[matts118]

Binary package hint: kino

Hi

I have tried everything here https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6290 and other places.

But to no avail, still "Error: no camera exists" if running dvgrab from command line as either su or me, and kino gives the good old error that it can read the raw1394 file.

Using the latest fresh install of intrepid with all updates, and the latest kino and dvgrabber from synaptics.

Dont know what else to do, really need this to work. I have a dell inspiron 1501 and using 1394a express card which works in windows fine on the same machine.

Any helps or direction would be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Matt

sudo modprobe raw1394
sudo chmod a+rw /dev/raw1394

works for me. however i have to do it on every re-boot.

there are several solutions for this out there. the problem is choosing the right one that actually works.

Thanks for your reply Dale, unfortunately still no go....

[Stefan Richter (stefan-r-ubz)]

Please post the output of dmesg, at least everything from when the ohci1394 and ieee1394 driver initialize the controller and when the camcorder is plugged in/ switched on.

Hi Steven

Thanks for your reply, the camcorder isnt with me for a while now, but when
it comes back I will have a go.

Thanks

Matt

ericbuntu,

does "cat /proc/interrupts" show ohci1394?

I wonder why no messages from ohci1394 and ieee1394 are present in your dmesg --- there should at least some from when the ohci1394 driver was loaded. According to the lspci output, the kernel has all information available that is required to detect that ohci1394 is to be bound to the FW323 chip. Did you cut too much out of the dmesg? (If you don't want to reboot to get a fresh new dmesg buffer, you can also run "modprobe -r dv1394 ohci1394; modprobe ohci1394" as root or with sudo and check whether anything new appears in dmesg at that time.

If /yes/, then plug in/ switch on the camcorder and check dmesg again. Also run "grep . /sys/bus/ieee1394/devices/*/*". Post the outputs of dmesg and of the grep command here (as attachments if they are large).

I'm having a similar issue on Ubuntu 10.04 64 Bit. Getting this error:

Sep 26 15:09:43 Dashbox kernel: [ 63.316346] raw1394: Unknown symbol compat_alloc_user_space

The camera worked fine in 9.04 64 bit.

[Stefan Richter (stefan-r-ubz)]

Re comment 7:
> kernel: [ 63.316346] raw1394: Unknown symbol compat_alloc_user_space

This is a different problem. Here, the kernel configuration with which raw1394.ko was compiled does not match the one with which the running kernel was compiled.
