Are you running libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repos?

You can tell by looking at System>Administration>Software Sources:Third Party Software.

If you don't have it then add the repository by opening a terminal and entering this code:-

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

then the add the key

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

Using System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager, search and then add libdvdcss2

yes, I installed it already
the dvd just won't mount
it worked on my last ubuntu... so it must work

In vlc player go to preferences. Press reset all. Check in 'input/codecs' that the DVD device points to /dev/scd0 (or, if you have a different setting to whatever your dvd drive has been mounted to). Apply and navigate back to vlc player main screen. When you do File>Open Disc it should point to the same device name. Does it?
