** Summary changed:
- Kino (0.9.0) defaults to use /dev/raw1394 but Ubuntu uses /dev/dv1394/0
+ Kino (0.9.2) Dapper backport defaults to use /dev/dv1394/0 but Ubuntu Dapper
uses /dev/dv1394-0
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: kino
This is a configuration and usability bug, not a functional bug.
- The default device configuration in Kino for accessing IEEE1394
- (firewire) is /dev/raw1394. In Ubuntu for many reason, not least
- security, raw1394 cannot be accessed for normal users, and is
- discouraged in most cases for root. Ubuntu uses instead /dev/dv1394/0
- which has slightly less functionality (can't access A/V controls on
- video cameras) but is much safer.

- So... the Ubuntu package (if not kino in general) should default to use
- /dev/dv1394/0. If any was feeling really helpful they could submit a
+ Kino (0.9.2) Dapper backport defaults to use /dev/dv1394/0 should
+ default to use /dev/dv1394-0 as there are no /dev/dv1394/0 in Ubuntu
+ 6.06 (Dapper). If any was feeling really helpful they could submit a
patch to kino which would search for the presence of /dev/dv1394/0
- (/dev/dv1394-0). But for now I'm calling this an Ubuntu usability bug.
