Can't play Blu-Ray disc on new computer With Blu-ray Drive and Nvidia Geforce GT-640 2GB video card

[James R McKenzie]

This is what my computer has inside

Installed these myself. Linux Mint 14 64 Bit & Kubuntu 12.10 (Both with latest Kernels)

The Computer arrived OS sterile. It was either that or pay for a copy of Windows I had no possible use for.

When I insert the disc into the drive and the Pop-p menu shows in the bottom right corner next to the clock Widget, I'm not given the option of playing the disc with any program not even VLC. I've gone into Synaptic and gotten everything related to Blu-Ray and rebooted. No useful changes took place. I'm certain changing desktops will not make difference (i.e. trying Mate, XFCE  or Cinnamon). Where can the DeCss files for Blu-Ray be downloaded for Linux and would that make any difference? 

As always any/all help will be appreciated.

Thank You

P.S. I once again state there is NO Linux community in my area, the last club disbanded in 2004 due to lack of regular attendance, and I'm unemployed there is no one to ask at work.
     The computer was bought with money made from selling a piece of land.
