IEEE1394 support in Debian 12.4
IEEE1394 support in Debian 12.4
I am planning to switch my Video editing work station from Linux Mint to Debian 12. The old version of LM I have has lost support for IEEE1394 which is required to download videos from DV cams. How is this possible with Debian 12.4?

Re: IEEE1394 support in Debian 12.4
Are you asking about a package you use, or about system wide general hardware support - which seems intact?
Re: IEEE1394 support in Debian 12.4
At the moment I would say both. I have a FireWire adaptor installed on a Lenovo D30. I have an older Sony DV camcorder and a half dozen tapes that require downloading. I haven't done this in about 6 years and I think it was with Ubuntu Studio 16. Since that time FireWire support has diminished.

Re: IEEE1394 support in Debian 12.4
It seems hardware support is still present but I can't speak to user software.
Code: Select all
$ lspci -nn | grep IEEE

Re: IEEE1394 support in Debian 12.4
Found this at the Mint forum:
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic. ... 7#p2399517It seems that Linux firewire support has languished over the last few years and the kernel modules were deprecated. So it stopped working in Mint 20 and its Ubuntu 20.04 base. However it seems to have been taken up again, but you'll need a 6,5 oem kernel.
Re: IEEE1394 support in Debian 12.4
lspci -nn | grep IEEE
nothing???
I have a firewire port on the front of the D30 and it did work a few years ago
hostnamectl:
Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-174-lowlatency wonder if this is the issue

Re: IEEE1394 support in Debian 12.4
I have a clumsy reply, a note in my herder.tk for a future search box query...
translation:#check current kernel features;$ ls /boot/ yadayada....x.x.x-1-0.amd64 $ less /boot/config-x.x.x-1-0.amd64 > kern-opt $ grep (--ignore-case) something kern-opt
find kernel name string with ls
create text file of kernel options
open and search or grep the file...
a random 6.1.x has 17 'IEEE' references... all I got at the moment.

Yes, in the pamphlet photo is looks like a dummy port closed by a cap.

Re: IEEE1394 support in Debian 12.4
Hello @jpaulb,
Could you please report the "Type-model" from the ID label of the computer ?
Probably the inxi or the dmidecode commands could also report it, too.
Thanks.
