         My experience this morning is the following: I tried sudo 
apt-get for the 64 bit and it failed. Still nothing when I put a DVD 
movie in the player.
Then went to the Medibuntu web page and did the wget they ask for by 
copying it from the web to a terminal. That ran on my 10.04 updated 
system and tried the DVD again and it works!

     So forget the above apt-get. It doesn't work on 10.04.
