https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu You need to install packages for decrypting the movies.

sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.9-2medibuntu4_i386.deb

And a little background for those who may be wondering....

No, this isn't included in a normal install. Many would like it to be so we wouldn't have to do these steps, but it's a matter of legalities. So, it's not included, but the information is readily available to install libdvdcssxxxx and run the install if needed.

So, it may seem like an extra step but it has to be.

Unfortunately did not work for me. Still getting the same error message (yes, I c&ped the 2 lines separately).

This is what happens when I enter the second command:

sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.9-2medibuntu4_i386.deb
