Re: Reading DVD

As you are posting in Gutsy, I'll (safely) assume you do have Gutsy installed.

Read this post on getting Kaffeine to play commercial DVDs in Gutsy.

Re: Reading DVD

as kaffeine use xine won't work either.

solved the problem by re-installing xgl. but, xgl was off for a reason...

Re: Reading DVD

Okay I ran into a problem with your howto but it works without installing xgl with a twist
first you have to have the gutsy medibuntu installed:

Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon":

sudo wget [url]http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list[/url] -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Then, add the GPG Key:

wget -q [url]http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg[/url] -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

and all medibuntu repos deleted from the sources list.

As mentioned in the howto
libdvdread3

must be installed
then

libdvdcss2
w32codecs

afterwords you can install
libxine1-plugins

this worked fine for me.

Thankx snowhog

Re: Reading DVD

If you are in gutsy changing your medibuntu from feisty to gutsy and accommadating the address change doen't work for some reason. I don't know why and am not expert enough to know why.

This

sudo wget [url]http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list[/url] -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

apparently adds a different sources.list in which the medibuntu repos reside.
and works. You can see that in synaptic under "origins".

I am happy the rest worked for you

Re: Reading DVD

i made a clean install of gusty. so i have no trace of the feisty repos that could mess up. Plus, xine don't start at all. If that was a codec issue it would crash/display a message only when try reading someting.

That sure is a video issue. I think i need to tweak my xorg.conf...
Would you mind posting yours ? Even with feisty, i spent some time getting it running.

It's the default I got from gutsy, no editing

what video card are you using?

[EowynCarter]

Re: Reading DVD

ah, you're using the "ati" driver. I use the flgrx, because my X1300 won't work with any other..

Mmm, i'll try some cleaning up of the lines i added to get xgl running.

[Fintan]

Re: Reading DVD

Yeah, that is what gutsy gave me.
I have no experience with x1300
let us know how it goes.

[EowynCarter]

Re: Reading DVD

did some cleaning up. some corrupting the xorg.conf (oups), a bit of vi editing, and xine start now
Longs for hardy.. hopfully the new ati drivers will get us rid of this mess.

And the weird display i had when runing the lego digital designer through wine is gone too. (ah actually no..) It mess up with borders.. how anoying !

So, back to work now :P

Re: Reading DVD

Got the same problem with fglrx. Xine dies with:

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (XVideo)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  14 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  2409
  Current serial number in output stream:  2409

I made a fresh install... Anyone managed to solve that problem on Gusty?

EDIT: Tried with VLC and it works like a charm... Hrm...
