problems with module raw1394

[Keldek]

I'm attempting to capture video via Kino and recieve the following error:

WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw1394!

So I did some searching on these forums and found several solutions, unfortunately none that work for me.

A few things I do know however, there is no "/dev/raw1394" module whatsoever, and following the instruction of different posts to create one, automatically set permissions, and have it load at startup got me nowhere.

I know my firewire card is being recognized:

keldek@System-X:~$ lspci
[really long list of devices truncated]
04:07.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Agere Systems FW323 (rev 61)

but it does not mount or list at all in /dev

Camera make & model: Sony HDR-HC1
(all video recorded in DV format, not HDV)

So I'm at a loss at what to do

Any help is very much appreciated as video editing capabilities is essential for my switch from 'doze to linux. Thank you in advance

EDIT:

Additionally, I have this listed in my /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules file:

# IEEE1394 (firewire) devices
# Please note that raw1394 gives unrestricted, raw access to every single
# device on the bus and those devices may do anything as root on your system.
# Yes, I know it also happens to be the only way to rewind your video camera,
# but it's not going to be group "video", okay?
KERNEL=="raw1394",			GROUP="disk"
KERNEL=="dv1394*",			GROUP="video"
KERNEL=="video1394*",			GROUP="video"

Not sure if this is important since there's no module at all for 'raw1394' in my /dev directory

hey, I'm having the same problem trying to capture DV camera footage via a firewire card. The irony is that in Feisty I had no problems, I just downloaded Kino and I could capture without difficulty from the beginning.

Now I'm getting the same error message. I went into Synaptic and installed all the raw1394 programs I could find, but still the same message.

Do I need to enable the read/write permissions for raw1394? If so, I need step-by-step instructions...i'm not so great at editing comand files and stuff.

I have the same problem.

There is no dev/raw1394 file to set permissions in.

Anyone?

Kind regards

Y'all are awesome. The chmod 777 on raw1394 did the trick. I didn't even have to restart kino.

chmod 777 also did the trick for me. So much for following the "how-to" on the kino forum...

thanks presque

there is no "/dev/raw1394" module whatsoever

There is no dev/raw1394 file to set permissions in.

This file is created only when the camera is plugged in and turned on.

I have the same problem but I don't understand where to put chmod 777 I went to dv 1394 file and it seems to be empty. Where do I and how do I find the device manager. and 1394 in it. I found the dev in home directory and !394 inside of it. Sure would like some help here.

[eggdeng]

Simply type in a terminal

sudo chmod 777 /dev/raw1394

or

sudo chmod 777 /dev/dv1394

whatever the file is called.

OK, I get a reply: chmod cannot access/dev/dv1394 no such file or directory I copied and pasted command and tried both commands. Do I need to download this file and install in synaptic? I have the official Ubuntu book and tried to read about this raw 1394 but can't find any info on the subject I would like to better understand what I am doing here. Thanks Doug
