The advice of Jeffrey Walton to change the permission would be my first help too.
fw1 indicates to be a FireWire device, so I'm out; never possessed one.
But I stumble about the uncommon naming: usually it's fw0, not fw1.
fw0 is probably the card itself, fw0 is still there if the camera is
unplugged. And has been there since 12/23/22 when I last rebooted. I
have to plug it into the camera AND turn it on to get fw1. Owned by
root:video, and there is no user "video" in /etc/group or /etc/passwd.
WT ????
Do you have a second FireWire device already plugged in, or can the naming somehow else be explained (by slot number)?
If not, I would suggest a reboot of the machine, because I assume a jam in the kernel then.
But as said, no experience here.
Maybe someone else can step in?
Best regards,
Klaus.
