Well, it says: *** The following rules implement this device type dependent control over permissions, using the example "video" group. These rules work with Linux kernel 2.6.31 and later. These rules have been merged into /lib/udev/ rules.d/50-udev-default.rules of udev v144. *** Indeed, there exists such a file there: /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules Look for the above mentioned firewire block (or better yet, "grep -i firewire /lib/udev/rules.d/*") and if is not present anywhere, you can create your own "/etc/udev/rules.d/example-firewire.rules" with the said content (of course, you'll have to adjust to match your device ATTR). Then reload udev or restart the system to test it. > The Juju devices exist. > peter@joule:~$ ll /dev/fw* > crw------- 1 root root 252, 0 Jun 11 12:12 /dev/fw0 > crw-rw----+ 1 root video 252, 1 Jun 11 12:12 /dev/fw1 > >> IIRC, there was a change coming from the kernel firewire stack, right? > > Yes, fw0 and fw1 are the Juju devices; but how can Coriander, started by > peter, be acquiring the image from fw0 when the access is restricted to > "crw------- 1 root root"? (...) You mean that running Coriander as root works fine? O:-) Now seriously, you'll have to instruct udev to put the right perms on the device, that is, the "video" group which peter should be a member of.
