[brian at linuxsynths.com]

A couple more "symptoms:" 

- I am able to play DVDs (even from
different regions) just fine on a different PC that runs Linux Mint.
(But not the menu screen.) 

- I get no video/audio signal at all if I
use the on-board DVD player. But, if I connect an external DVD player
via USB, I get the menu screen, but when I select a chapter, playback is
distorted or garbled. 

Hth!

would be that you haven't installed libdvdread yet, try executing the

have a laptop with Ubuntu Studio (15.04, iirc) installed. Although I use
this pc primarily for music (low latency kernel, etc), I wanted to watch
some (commercial) DVDs. But I have had problems and although I have
installed the Ubuntu-restricted-extras package, I cannot get a DVD to
work right (I prefer using SMplayer, although I also tried with VLC,
Xine, and another called "Video").
