you have to add # to blacklist firewire-ohci to prevent blacklist.... was blacklist firewire-ohci Now # blacklist firewire-ohci I tried this too: In Ubuntu 10.04 Paste this in your terminal: echo 'KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="video", MODE="0664"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/50-raw1394.rules && sudo restart udev If the tips in this guide do not work please file a bug in launchpad against Kino. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire So, here we are.
