Going by the name of the library, it would be used to decrypt an encoded DVD. For a humourous discussion on how flawed DVD encryption is by its bad design, you could do worse that read this: http://decss.zoy.org/ sudo apt-get install libdvd.css.so.2 should install same, shouldn't it? I haven't tried installing this lib. But usually, one does not specify the version of the library or software component, e.g. sudo apt-get install libdvdcss To see what the name really is: sudo apt-cache search dvdcss and take a squizz at the results.

It decodes the encrypted DVDs sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh You have to go through this because it might be illegal to distribute those files in some places. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act -- Felix On 17/10/12 15:46, wbenn...@turing.une.edu.au wrote: > Laptop running Ubuntu > > I'd like to copy a DVD. > > Tried, using Brasero. > > Received message: cannot do so, because a component is missing. > > I have to install manually > > libdvdcss.so.2 > libdvdcss.so.2 > > No---I don't know why I was told twice, either. > > However, > > could someone tell me what this library is, please? > > > Also, > > sudo apt-get install libdvd.css.so.2 > > should install same, shouldn't it? > > Any help gratefully received, > > William Bennett. > -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Installing a library.
Laptop running Ubuntu I'd like to copy a DVD. Tried, using Brasero. Received message: cannot do so, because a component is missing. I have to install manually libdvdcss.so.2 libdvdcss.so.2 No---I don't know why I was told twice, either. However, could someone tell me what this library is, please? Also, sudo apt-get install libdvd.css.so.2 should install same, shouldn't it? Any help gratefully received, William Bennett. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
