With the latest Hardy Heron release, here is the command to use in terminal to get it multimedia ready:
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 w32codecs
Enjoy!
Your standard ubuntu is packaged with a regular version of Totem Movie player – a really handy movie player. However, it is not packaged with DVD playback for licensing reasons.
In order to get DVD playback go to your terminal (APPLICATIONS >ACCESSORIES >TERMINAL) and type in this command (you’ll need to be connected to the internet):
sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg totem-xine build-essential debhelper fakeroot
And press enter. Then type in this command:
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
And press enter. This should set your computer to play DVD’s. Enjoy!
