Public bug reported:
I went to Europe (6/23/06), and wanted to watch a region 2 dvd. I found
the regionset command, and it successfully changed the region to 2.
However since I have been home (7/1/06) I've been unable to change the
region back to region 1.
This is what I see:
regionset version 0.1 -- reads/sets region code on DVD drives
Current Region Code settings:
RPC Phase: II
type: SET
vendor resets available: 4
user controlled changes resets available: 3
drive plays discs from region(s): 2, mask=0xFD
Would you like to change the region setting of your drive? [y/n]:y
Enter the new region number for your drive [1..8]:1
New mask: 0xFFFFFFFE, correct? [y/n]:y
ERROR: Region code could not be set!
If I do an strace, this is what I get:
write(1, "New mask: 0xFFFFFFFE, correct? ["..., 37New mask: 0xFFFFFFFE,
correct? [y/n]:) = 37
read(0, y
"y", 1) = 1
read(0, "\n", 1) = 1
ioctl(3, DVD_AUTH, 0x804c180) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(1, "ERROR: Region code could not be "..., 37ERROR: Region code could not
be set!
Might this be a hardware issue, or a kernel issue, or something else?
I'm not sure where to start.
