{Solved, sort of} Loss of ability to play a DVD after upgrade to Hardy Haron

[Marlin]

Today I did an upgrade to Hardy Haron. Everything appeared to go well and everything seems to work well except for lacking the ability to play DVDs. Everything worked under Gutsy. Kaffeine tells me that it cannot read the media and trys to install a codec while another message says that the codec is already there.

"LibDVDCSS (http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html) is about to be installed, it allows you to watch encrypted DVD videos. This is illegal in some countries which require decryption to be authorised by the copyright holder. Do you want to install this package?"

If I tell it to install, Firefox opens to a "404" error.

If I "apt-get install libDVDCSS" then it tells me that the library has been obsoleted and that there is no replacement candidate.

Can anyone explain to me how I can fix this?

Thanks

Hopefully so; try installing the Medibuntu repository:

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

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

Then, install the library again:

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

OK, it's Kaffeine that's broken. MoviePlayer plays DVDs just fine. I guess Kaffeine will need to be updated.

HOWTO: Get commercial DVD playback in Kaffeine
