2007-05-16 17:42:20 R. Gavilan description I upgraded from Ubuntu 6.06 to 6.10 to 7.04. I could play DVD's in Dapper. When I try to play a DVD using mplayer I get the error "fail to open dvd://1." I can't play a DVD using any player. When I try to mount the DVD drive I get the error "Unable to mount media. There is probably no media in the drive." When I was upgrading to Feisty, I hit next by mistake before the HAL files had downloaded. I could not stop the install at this point. Feisty installed but I noticed that it couldn't fine the HAL files during the install and it used, I think, emergency defaults where HAL files were required. I don't use SATA drives so I thought I was OK. I can play CD's and play movies filed on my hard drive on my movies players. I can't play DVD's. I think something is wrong with my /etc/fstab settings.

2007-05-31 21:12:01 Brian Murray None: statusexplanation Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. mplayer uses '/dev/dvd' as the default device when trying to play DVDs. DO you have this device and is it symlinked to '/dev/hdd'? You could check with 'ls -alh /dev/dvd'. Thanks in advance.

2007-06-22 17:33:58 Brian Murray None: statusexplanation Since you are only having trouble with video DVDs it seems that you may be missing the libdvdread3 package. Could you check via 'dpkg -l libdvdread3' in a terminal.
