    A little help if you are having difficulty getting DVD's to play in Kubuntu 14.04.

    I entered the private message area of this forum to make sure I wasn't about to post an entry which broke the rules. It wasn't a rule breaker, and the Guru I selected was our friend, Snowhog. Knowing the below help is from him should give you confidence in the instruction. He recommended I pass the info on to you.

    Open a console and copy and paste the following:
    Code:

    sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:videolan/stable-daily

    Press Enter.
    When it finishes, copy and paste:
    Code:

    echo 'deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list &&
    echo 'deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list &&

    Press Enter.
    When it finishes, type:
    Code:

    sudo apt-get update

    Press Enter.
    When it finishes, type:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

    Press Enter.
    When it finishes, exit the Console and then logout and reboot.

    This problem self-corrected. I don't know how to help others by it's solution.
