If anyone is still reading this Thread, I just wanted to say that I had similar problems with Ubuntu 9.04 but the way I solved them was not by getting all frustrated and hateful, (although I did experience those emotions, it was not how I solved the problems :) When I could not find the answers I wanted in the Ubuntu Forums, I did broad searches using Yahoo and Google entering keywords of my problem in to the Search Engine. What I found was, there is a whole WORLD of people out there using Ubuntu and if you just look hard enough eventually you will find someone who has the answers for you. There are dozens and dozens of Web Designers who set up there OWN Ubuntu Forums on their Sites, and if I can't understand how one person explains it, I look around and I find the same problem with a different way of explaining the solution. Don't allow the Arrogant attitudes of some little teenage dweeb to turn you off of Ubuntu. There are thousands of people who put lots of time and effort into making sure Ubuntu is a Usable OS. And Sure there are lots of things they can do Better, and if you can think up one of those ideas submit them in the Wishlist Category, and become part of the solution, instead of just storming off to return to Windows. :) One of the ways I used to solve a Dvd no mount problem was I first went to System>Software>and checked all the little Boxes for adding all the repositories (except for the source code) cause I didn't think I needed that. But Especially Universe and Multiverse, then I downloaded every application available for Video which gave me all the Codecs I needed, I also downloaded windows Codecs and Downloaded Realplayer for Linux which gives you a bunch of Codecs too. These Applications by default will download lots of stuff you need to read different Dvd formats. I deal with all kinds of Video Formats including Pal Vcds and Dvds. After downloading all the Video Applications I could find for Linux I had no problem playing anything in the Dvd, AND I also was able to Stream Movies using Amarok, and Gxine, and Realplayer. You can also try Downloading Google Chrome for Linux and Moonlight (Which also works in Mozzilla Firefox) to Stream Videos. More and more people are making Apps for Ubuntu because Ubuntu is more secure, more stable, and most of the software is still FREE for Ubuntu. So Ubuntu is NOT going down hill, it is getting Better and Better with each Release. I also wish they would automatically configure Mplayer and the SMplayer to play Encrypted Dvds straight from the first Boot of Ubuntu. I mean you can walk into any Store and Buy a Dvd Player that will play the Dvds, and that Player is not breaking the Law anymore than Ubuntu would be. Hire some Lawyer to work it out, but give us what we need to use Ubuntu a little smoother. That would be nice. :) Make the illegal countries UNCHECK the Default Settings if it is illegal for them to use. Look at Lime Wire! Talk about illegal! Everything Lime Wire DOES is illegal! But they are still up and running. AND THEY make a Linux Version of Their Player TOO! :) So I think Ubuntu should be automatically Configured to Play Encrypted Dvds right from the first installation. Someone needs to work on that for us- PLEASE? :)
