I took some time to analyze this some more. Here's what I did: 1. aptitude install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad 2. Insert my "Big Buck Bunny" DVD in the DVD tray. a) A window appears asking what action to perform. b) I select "Open Movie Player" and click OK. c) Totem window appears, along with a dialog box with no title, containing the message "An error occured Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.". d) I click OK and the DVD doesn't play. 3. aptitude --purge remove gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad 4. aptitude --purge remove freepats gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad libcdaudio1 libcelt0 libdc1394-22 libffado0 libfftw3-3 libfreebob0 libgmyth0 libiptcdata0 libjack0 liblrdf0 libmms0 libneon27-gnutls libofa0 libopenspc0 libraptor1 libsoundtouch1c2 libwildmidi0 libxml++2.6-2 raptor-utils (all the dependencies that were pulled in by step 1) 5. aptitude install <package>, re-insert DVD, aptitude --purge remove <package>; <package> = each of the dependencies in step 4. Every try gave the "DVD Source" error as before.
So the only way to get rid of the "DVD Source" error is by installing the meta-package gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, it seems. I suspect this is because it has a debtag Gstreamer-Uri-Sources containing "dvd" (among others). But why doesn't the codec installer see this? -- [jaunty] doesn't offer to install codecs when inserting non encrypted DVD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351130 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
