    Kaffeine problems [ Solved ]

    Hello,

    I have my audio card working ok. I have Kaffeine installed but it asks for libdvdcss to be installed to get past the encryption. I went into Synaptic and installed libdvdcss2. I do not see libdvdcss in the list. Is this why Kaffeine will not work? If so, how do I get libdvdcss? Thanks for any help!


    Yhank You!

      Hello,

      I have everything installed as per the guide and I still get:

      This DVD Video is encrypted. To be able to watch it you will need to install libdvdcss by running from a console: sudo /usr/share/doc/kaffeine/install-css.sh. In some countries it is illegal to install the decryption software without permission from the video copyright holder.

      So I thought what the heck.......tried that too and it still will not work.

      This is driving me crazy. :P I do not understand why this does not let Kaffeine work. Is there any other ideas? I can play a DVD in VLC but the sound is horrible. Oh yeah, I cannot play a CD either. It says it does not see an audio disc.


      Thank You!

        Open a console and type:
        Code:
        sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
        On my HH KDE 4.1.2 system, this is where the file is actually located.

            Perform a normal shutdown/restart. Put in a DVD. When the window asking what to do, select to Open with Kaffiene.

                When you added the medibuntu repository and gpg key, did you have any problems?

                  I went thru all of it again to be sure and I get this:

                    It appears that the medibuntu site is down (at the moment). This happens. Try periodically. Until you are successful in getting connected, you won't have the repository properly added and verified. Without that, you won't have access to all the required codecs.

                      Snowhog I really appreciate you taking the time to help me!

                      Ok I finally connected to :

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

                      I ran Kaffeine again, no joy, so I restarted and still it will not work. I get the encrypt message.


                      Thanks,

                        Happy to help in any way I can.

                        Open a console and run:
                        Code:
                        sudo apt-get update
                        and then go and redo the steps in the HOWTO for commerical DVDs (except for the medibuntu add) now that the medibuntu repository and gpg key are properly added. See if it makes any difference.

                          It ran all the updates but, it gave me this at the last of the list:

                          W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783
                          W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
                          bobby@ubuntu:~$

                          Is this the key I'm needing?

                          Thanks
