I am using Ubuntu 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop (Gnome desktop). I cannot play any dvd's in any dvd or movie players and I have downloaded every one of them using Synaptic. I have also tried running each and everyone of them to see if they will play dvd's and not a one works. It's as if it is not recognizing my cdrom drive. Does that mean it is not mounted? If so how can I fix this permanently? Thank you all. Mark </pre> </blockquote> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> The package you normally need is libdvdcss2 (or something like that).
