Title:
Unhelpful response when inserting encrypted DVD in default
installation
Status in Totem:
Expired
Status in totem package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Ubuntu 4.10, 5.04, 5.10, 6.06, 7.04, 7.10, 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10,
10.04, 10.10, 11.04, 11.10, 12.04, 14.04
1. Install Ubuntu.
2. Insert a standard movie DVD.
What happens:
* In Ubuntu 10.10 and earlier, "An error occurred" - "Could not read from
resource."
* In Ubuntu 11.10, "An error occurred" - "Could not read DVD. This may be
because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed."
Without libdvdcss2, Totem, VLC, and others are unable to play my
original DVD-s. I know it's illegal to ship Ubuntu with libdvdcss2,
but it could be in multiverse repos, and totem's plugin installer
could install it, OR add the medibuntu repo to the list (but leave
unchecked), then Totem's plugin installer should give a hint, to use
that repo's libdvdcss2 to play your DVDs. Newbies wont find out how to
solve this problem by theirself, go back to win, and then it will be
harder to solve the bug #1 :)
Not to be confused with:
* bug 502426, where DVDs don't play when libdvdcss is installed
* bug 745515, "An error occured location not found" while trying to play a DVD
* bug 747433, "Totem cannot play this type of media DVD because it does not
have the appropriate plugins to be able to read from this disc"
