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. Here is a listing of my fstab setting :
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/hda1 -- converted during upgrade to edgy
UUID=4efc62d4-8b02-424e-8391-37f8685eb5f7 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/hda5 -- converted during upgrade to edgy

/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

I edited /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdc and to /dev/hdd but didn't help. They both were set as /dev/cdrom originally. My DVD-ROM drive is hdd and my CD-RW drive is hdc
