I'm running currently on Ubuntu 9.04 alpha6 from a Live CD, although I intend to perform a clean installation on this machine over the weekend. Out of the box, neither Kino nor Ekiga works. If I do a chmod o+rw /dev/raw1394 then Kino immediately springs into life. Unfortunately I cannot get Ekiga to capture any video on the interface whatsoever, so the situation is now worse.
In a word: yes.
