Are the above instructions still valid for Karmic Koala?

I installed the kubuntu-restricted-extras, but the following file does not exist:
/usr/share/doc/kaffeine/install-css.sh

Unless you install Kaffeine, it won't be.

I have kaffeine installed.

kubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version.

However, I found this:

$ locate install-css.sh
/usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

I guess it's the same one and that it has been moved between releases.

I got this information from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Re...ts/PlayingDVDs

excerpt:

• Install the libdvdread4 package (no need to add third party repositories) via Synaptic or command line:

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4

• Then open a terminal window and execute:

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

• Rebooting may be necessary.

I've tried this and it works. Any multimedia application that relies on libdvdread4 will work after this.
Please read the whole article for more information...

On the Dell E510 that I installed Kubuntu LL on a couple days ago I discovered, after using Medibuntu and doing the Kaffine things mentioned here, that DVDs won't start automatically after I click on Dragon Player, or chose VLC. (Unlike my personal laptop, or all previous installations I've done using Kubuntu Jaunty, LL or Maverick).

I find that I have to open the first VBO file manually to start the DVD.
