New attempt, I deleted everything I could find that looked related to playing videos/dvds, made sure I had the libs, dcss, etc per the tutorial/stickies and reinstalled vlc through synaptic, then...
No, the dvd icon is not showing up on the desktop. When I put a commercial dvd in the drive and close the drive I get a very quick flash on the desktop that looks like it might be the icon, but it...
In the command line errors for vlc I noticed the line:
[00000288] access_file access error: file /dev/scd0 is empty, aborting
I checked that file and it really is empty. Is it supposed to be or...
<quote> Did you install the decoders? </quote>
Thank you but yes, I have, over and over. :)
Deleted it all and reinstalled then re-reinstalled. Have added them through apt-get, synaptic,...
Had medibuntu added, reinstalled libdvdcss2 through them (it had already been there so I deleted and reinstalled) - no change, same error messages.
I emptied the .dvdcss folder, rebooted and tried...

It has been about four months since I could play commercial DVDs and it's about to drive me away from Ubuntu, any help is appreciated.
Computer is an AMD 64 athlon chip running 32 bit Heron, was a...
The first line gave no output, the second gave me:
mount: can't find scd0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
I looked and I don't see dmesg in the places I can think of, can you tell me where to find it? Sorry, still learning this. :)
My cd/dvd drive used to work fine and now it doesn't work at all. None of my searches have given me any way to fix this and I have been trying for many weeks.
The drive shows up under...
My DVD player worked fine in this same install in this same computer, no hardware breaks or changes in the machine since it worked. A few weeks ago I ran the regular Ubuntu updates that showed up in...
Thank you both for the help. I checked /etc/group and everything looked fine. I ended up using sudo gedit and deleting the admin:115 group from my groups list, rebooting, re-editing the list and...
I type in sudo id, give it my password, and get back this:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),100(users),115(admin)
typing groups in terminal gives me:
users admin housenet
Somehow 'synaptic', 'hardware drivers', and 'software sources' have been removed from the options to use in the System>Admin menu. They used to be there and worked fine. I am running Hardy and using...
I am using Hardy (fresh install with Pulseaudio removed), Wine 0.9.60 (installed through Synaptic) and Vent 3.0.1. Vent starts up fine, I can connect to the server, and my push to talk buttons work...
If the DVD install gives you too much trouble you can also install by downloading the files from the WoW website, as long as your internet connection is up to that. Last time I needed to reinstall in...
I need to add my user to admin so I can sudo as needed but can't get my system to do so. This is a fresh install of Hardy and my /home is on a network server. I can login to Hardy with my user name...
No response in networking forum so reposting here since it worked in Dapper and doesn't after installing Hardy.

My /home directory is on a network server accessed via NFS, the server is Fedora 8 and usings it's default nfs-utils-lib-1.1.0-4 and nfs-utils-1.1.0-6. A Fedora core 6 machine on the network can...
I have a shiny new install of Hardy, I did enter a user name and password during the install process when asked to, but when I got to the login screen it told me they were incorrect and wouldn't let...
If you have a floppy drive in the computer, put a blank floppy disk in it then try the install again. You won't have to do anything with the disk, just leave it in. I had this same error and a google...
I got the same thing. Some forum/google hunting turned up some solutions that are working for people but you may have to try more than one to see what works on your system. For me, all I needed to do...
Sorry if this is a dumb suggestion, but are you sure that your video settings are correct for your monitor? Those screenshots look the same as my text looked when I had my screen resolution and...
