Can't play movies

[Dmayner]

Hey All,

I am using Kubuntu 8.10 with KDE 4.2 and I can't play any movies. I have tried both Dragon and VLC. I am not sure if the issue is realted to the fact that my SATA DVD player is detected as a USB device. In either case I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Have you installed the Medibuntu Repository and do you have libdvdcss2?

i just did what snowhog posted didnt do anything so then i tried sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
and this is what it said
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

If you have Adept Manager or Synaptic open, close it. Running sudo apt-get from a console requires that no other adept program be running.
