Ubuntu 7.04 DVD player?

Ed

I had Unbuntu 6.1 installed on my Gateway E-3600. I upgraded to the Umbutu 7.04 and now the DVD player will not work. I installed the plugin that got the 6.1 working, but it still
does not work.

Answer
What kind of dvd player do you have?

Is the drive even detected?

I would check the manfacturers website for Linux (Debian) drivers.

need help with vlc player for linux?

beanie_bab

I'm new to linux and I'm using ubuntu. I tried playing dvd's using vlc and they won't play. No idea what I'm doing, could use some advice. I also have virtual box installed but I could't get the dvd to play on that either. It said I had no compatible players installed. Please help!

Answer
DVD playback doesn't work with Linux out of the box due to no "libdvdcss" package included for copyright reasons. You need to go to System > Administrator > Synaptic Package Manager and look for "libdvdcss" and install it.
