Permenantly change permissions of /dev/raw1394?

Post by shayney »

I've added raw1394 to my /etc/modules but I can only capture from my camcorder by either running dvgrab/kino etc using sudo or change permissions on /dev/raw1394.

As this file is dynamic I'm not sure how to make the file permanently accessible as a regular user?

Hi !

You could add:

Code: Select all

chmod 777 /dev/raw1394
to your /etc/rc.local script just above the last line which *MUST* be exit.
This will then be run each time the PC is booted and will change the priv's on /dev/raw1394 to read/write for everyone.

Let me know how you get on!

The camcorder isn't with me at the moment to try it but I've checked permissions after a reboot and /dev/raw1394 is now accessible by everyone according to the permissions so I don't see any reason why it won't work now.

Mant thanks :D
