[Bug 6290] Re: No rights by default to import video from a Firewire device
@Alan: adding your user to group 'disk' essentially means that you are working as root, so every program that you run can potentially tamper with your whole system (see my previous comment). I have no idea about kino itself, but it should be fixed to use /dev/video1394. ** Summary changed: - No rights by default to import video from a Firewire device + use /dev/video1394, not /dev/raw1394 ** Bug 35693 has been marked a duplicate of this bug -- use /dev/video1394, not /dev/raw1394 https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/6290 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 6290] Re: No rights by default to import video from a Firewire device
:~$ ls -al /dev/raw1394 crw-rw 1 root disk 171, 0 2006-04-07 22:37 /dev/raw1394 Once I added the user to 'disk' group, Kino was able to import video. This is a single (human) user laptop. What are the security implications of allowing this? Or, is there a way to force Kino to use /dev/video1394 instead? ** Changed in: kino (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed -- No rights by default to import video from a Firewire device https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/6290 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
