Bug Description

The raw1394 permission edit in Jaunty will not undo itself in the 0.4.4 release.
Instead, a conflicting permission is added to the /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules file and the tag that the software searches for is deleted. This permanently breaks the raw1394 permission option in the software.

To reproduce:
- open /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules in gedit (to watch for changes)
- open ubuntustudio-controls
- check the raw1394 permissions checkbox
- click apply
- refresh /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules (watch under the # Firewire section - line 48 for me)
- uncheck the raw1394 permissions checkbox
- click apply
- refresh /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules
- check the raw 1394 permissions checkbox
- click apply
- refresh /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules

This is a patch, it essentially just adds/removes the raw1394 permission from the bottom of the file rather than attempting to add/edit the permission in the middle of the file.

Changed in ubuntustudio-controls:
assignee: nobody → stochastic

I've been made aware that this is rather important for firewire device users, so I'm changing the importance.

I'd like to give this a big +1. It is very important and is needed for release.

TheMuso: Since we're changing udev stuff here, should we get Keybuck to review it?

I've been informed by fellow studio devs that the fix has been tested and is working, and they feel a review is not necessary.

Since the Ubuntu Studio release delegate has approved it, go ahead and
upload then.

Unsubscribed motu-release since this is just the upstream task and this has been uploaded to Ubuntu.
