Bug Description

After installing Kino, user cannot use videocamera, because there are no appropriate rights set for /dev/raw1394.

The solution is simple: sudo chmod a+rw /dev/raw1394

However, it is a really stupid bug and should be solved quickly...

I can confirm it, I used a workaround: running kino as root.
I don't know which package should this bug be assigned to.

The "sudo chmod a+rw /dev/raw1394" needs to be run after every reboot to be able to access firewire video camera in Kino, so it definitely needs some udev rule for appropriate access rights setting.

It seems that this should be a bug in Kino
