Nothing plays DVDs in Ubuntu Gutsy?

[Ashley Benton]

I also had the same problem with Ubuntu 7.10 nothing works with the DVD so
that what I have done and now everything is working.
Click  system -> administration > sofware sources > third party tab (in the
window that appears)
click the add button, and in the Apt Line text box, type the following:
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
click the add button then close. You'll be informed that the information
that the information about the available software is out of date, so click
the reload button.
You may see error messages, just ignore them, at least it's what I did.
Open the synaptic package manager and search for w32codecs, put a check in
the box. Search for totem-xine, then libxine-extracodecs, mark them too and
apply.
Ignore the messages and proceed with installation, after your DVD should
work.
good luck
Megan
