Nothing plays DVDs in Ubuntu Gutsy?

In the synaptic manager always I have libdvdcss2, libdvdcss2-dev,
libdvdread-dev, libdvdread3, which are also installed, let me know if you
have already installed them, if yes I have the list of what I installed, I
just published it. I must say that yes it did the same to me and I just went
in the synaptic manager and installed a little everything until it works.
Good luck
Meg
