Problem installing libdvdread3

Asked by CottonRLS

I've been trying to enable my system to play commercial DVDs and I was informed by the help file for Ubuntu that I need to install dibdvdread3 and it directed me to use the following command in a terminal:

 sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh

I did so and received the following result:

No prebuilt binary available. Will try to build and install it.
You need to have debhelper and fakeroot installed.
If not, interrupt now, install them and rerun this script.

This is higly experimental, look out for what happens below.
If you want to stop, interrupt now (control-c), else press
return to proceed

Install debhelper and fakeroot, then run this script again

I tried to locate dbhelper and fakeroot, but they are not listed in the Add/Remove programs listings. Can I find them via command line and if so, how?

i think there are many other application which can help you to play commercial DVD's like movie player or VLC Player etc.

just run this command and search in synaptic for the two packages

sudo apt-get update.

Else you can download them separately as a .deb files and install them. . . .but it will be much complex as it should satisfy all dependencies.

It seems that install-css.sh is complaining that libdvdcss2 .deb file does not exist for your architecture. Refer to this page for downloading and installing libdvdcss2 from medibuntu website. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Playing%20Encrypted%20DVDs

Check section installing individual package.
