[gentoo-user] permissions problem with kino

[Jean Magnan de Bornier]

Hi all,
I am trying to use kino, but face some permission problems.
modules raw1394 an dv1394 are loaded, but when I want to use kino I get
the answer that:
dv1394 open: Permission non accordée (not granted)
giving the +r to /dev/dv1394-0 which has root as owner and group does
change nothing; with /dev/raw/raw1394 group is "disk"; putting my user in
this group does nothing better.
Not many infos on this permission issue in kino's manual.

Any direct info or link would be much welcome, TIA

Have you added your username to /etc/group, disk?

Well I found what was missing: 

Looking at the two necessary modules for kino:
/dev/raw/raw1394 is in group disk, while /dev/dv1394-0 is in group root;
(is this a feature of the gentoo installation?)

I put /dev/dv1394-0 in the disk group as well and now everything seems to
be ok, unless there might be some side effect(s)?

cheers,

I don't see dv1394 in the udev rules.  That doesn't seem to have made it 
yet.  So it's a missing feature.  It will need to be either created seperatly
as a rule.  Something like - 95-firewire.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d

It should be no problem.  Technically, it would go into group - video.

There is an example of how to setup a custom device, including the udev
rule at -

Well thanks Bob, I'm not an udev expert (you guess), but I'll look at this
link with care
cheers,
