Bug Description
Binary package hint: udev
insted of using my dv camera in kino, i became the message firewire module not loaded.
The problem is that it doesnt gives an udev-rule for that, and normal users arent allowed to use firewire.
I wrote this little script.
It specifies the udev rule which was left out by Ubuntu's udev maintainers, creates the group firewire, set the rights, and restarts udev:
#!/bin/bash
sudo addgroup firewire &&
echo 'KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="firewire", MODE="0664"' |
sudo tee /etc/udev/
sudo restart udev
