gscanbus
========
This programe comes in a very bare bone fashion. I didn't put any
document in the initial Debian release. So here are some hints after
receiving a bug report that user cannot fire up this program.
It is a gui program, so there is no command line option. If you can get
this program to show you something on the screen, then it is working.
Otherwise, check your ieee1394 sub-system that it is working properly.
Here are some hints.
Hints
=====
1. Load all necessary ieee1394 modules. This includes
- ieee1394.o (ieee1394 basic module)
- raw1394.o (/dev/raw1394 interface)
- ohci1394.o or pcilynx.o (host adaptor interface).
You may "modprobe ohci1394 && modprobe raw1394"
2. Make sure that you have "rw" permission for /dev/raw1394. Usually
it belongs to root:disk with 0660 permission. You can make it 0666
,but check all the security your self. You have been "WARNED".
If you have a storage device conntected trough firewire bus, people
who has access to firewire raw device, hence, will have access to the
storage device. Good thing, isn't it?
I make it root:video myself, since I use only AV/DV devices on the bus.
I also add myself to group video (see adduser or /etc/group).
3. Linux ieee1394 is still in development (linux1394.sourceforge.net). Don't be
surprised if it is not working. Recent ieee1394 modules in 2.4.7-2.4.9 kernel
are not very stable. I am having some troubles with these modules myself.
Hint: I run 2.4.9 with ieee1394 sub-system from 2.4.6. So far so good.
