dvd doesn't play

[jim Prall]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

I just followed the upgrade from intrepid to jaunty. After a lot of following bug reports of dvd doesn't work finally got it working in intrepid. After "upgrading" to jaunty I no longer am able to play dvd again. I have followed directions to /usr/share/doc/dvdread4 and run the script. I've installed ffmpeg again after having it ripped in the "upgrade". There is also no way in the "System" menu to "Shut down the computer" or log off or restart. I guess I'm just supposed to use terminal?

Trying to be helpful but don't know what packages are involved
jim@Zendo:~$ uname -r
2.6.28-11-generic
jim@Zendo:~$ uname -a
Linux Zendo 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
this used to give the machine it is running on
this si a AMD 64 Quad Core

I don't know how to attach screen shots but my "system" menu contains only Preferences> Admin> Help & Support
About Gnome
About Ubuntu

You should have a green running man panel applet that you can use to log out. If you remove that applet you get your shutdown items back in the system menu.

Thanks, I noticed that after the frustration subsided.

Hi Jim,

I'm marking this as a duplicate of #373988, as your logout issue has an answer.

[jim Prall (hiwayzen)]

This is not the same problem. My DVD's do not play AFTER installing required
software and running the shell script found in /usr/share/doc/dvdread4.

Where did you follow directions to run this script from?

I've just followed the help procedure on a new install (Dell 1545, Jaunty) and the procedure works.

Is there an error message?

[Alton Cedervall (altoncedervall)]

I had a similar problem and I resolved it by installing the VLC player.

[Dougie Richardson (dougierichardson)]

I checked this in Jaunty and its not present, nothing heard since May 24th so am marking as invalid. Feel free to re-open if you can recreate the problem.

[jim Prall (hiwayzen)]

No problem. I went back to intrepid.
