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?

Firstly, you don't state if any other type of media - eg, CD or DVD - plays.

Secondly, have you read this:

Everything else plays fine . Music, movies (DVD's) files off of the hard-drive (ASF, MPG, AVI, MP4, AAC, MP3, Etc. All play fine) It's just Blu-Ray that I'm having trouble with. BTW thanks for the link to the Medibuntu stuff, I'll let you know if this helps. Anyway I just don't have the knowledge on the subject matter and [clearly] I'm not that good at looking on line.

once again thanks.
