Hi !

you need some additional package to be able to decrypt the dvd. these packages are not included by default because of legal problems in some countries (US for instance).

the package you need is libdvdcss2

to install it you need to add the medibuntu repository (I suppose here you have gutsy installed) :

deb http://fr.packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free

and you can get the key typing

wget -q http://fr.packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

that should do the trick.

If you don't know how to add a repository, ask me.

hope it helps

I was able to add the repository and download and install the package
you suggested. I am running the Feisty upgrade as you had surmised. No
luck on playing the DVD. I get the same error message.

Any other suggestions? I have installed VLC media player and that will
play the DVDs, but it seems like xine is supported by Ubuntu and that
player would be preferable in the long run.

Thanks

I installed the packages and ran the terminal command as recommended.
Still receive the same error message. Tried another DVD, but still the
same error.

What is next step?

Thanks

OK. it appears you have 2 CD/DVD players, referenced as /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1.

I cannot tell which is the one you use to play a dvd. to know that, insert a DVD in your usual DVD slot, and then, post, say, the last 50 lines of what the command "dmesg" will spit.

This is the output from dmesg when DVD inserted into top bay, the one I
usually use for DVD playback:

That's a lot bunch of errors :-) !

this seems like the situation describe here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=607468

are you in the case described in the wikipedia link at the end ?

Revision history for this message
Olivier (olivier-lacroix) said : 		#11

Could you post the result of the 2 following commands ?

ls -rtl /dev/sr0

ls -rtl /dev/dvd

another question : before typing the command dmesg, have you tried to open the DVD or to read it ?

Richard Reinhart (reinhartr) said : 		#12

Before typing the command dmesg, I tried to play the DVD, but received
the error message previously described.

The result of the initial command listed below:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-11-09 06:52 /dev/sr0 -> scd0

The result of the second command:
ls: /dev/dvd: No such file or directory

Looks like there is a missing file?

Yep.

Type this

sudo ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/dvd

verify that /dev/dvd links to /dev/scd0 with the command

ls -l /dev/dvd

Then try to play the DVD

Thanks for your help and persistence.

Thank you

Olivier (olivier-lacroix) said : 		#16

Glad it worked. Nonetheless, I am not sure this will still work after reboot, the /dev/ directory being generated dynamically.

To avoid typing the command after every boot, add ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/dvd into the file /etc/rc.local
(no need to add "sudo" at the beginning)
You need to edit the file with superuser rights. To do that, just type sudo gedit /etc/rc.local in the terminal

I added the line to rc.local and did a reboot. It works well after
reboot.
Thanks again.

Incidentally, I assume there is a startup file that loads programs at
boot up, eg I would like firestarter to load on bootup.

Sure.

Programs that you wish to autostart on GNOME startup can be selected by using the Control Center. To do this, open the Control Center and then navigate to Sessions followed by Startup Programs. Click Add and either type the path, or use Browse to select your desired program[s]. If multiple programs are selected, they can be launched in a desired order.
