I own a video DVD with the exact same permissions as the one Shaya Potter's used when if filled this bug report: the video_ts directory does not have any "x" bits set, and all files are owned by user -1.
In Feisty, because of bug #112584, it auto-mounts as iso9660 instead of udf and totem plays it happily. In Gutsy, as bug #112584 has been partially fixed, it auto-mounts as udf and only root can read the dvd. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/112584) Quick fix: i have put iso9660 before udf in fstab to always mount dvds as iso9660: /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660,udf user,noauto,utf8 0 0 (the "utf8" option is a workaround to another long standing and very annoying bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/22623, but does not have any effect here.) Totem now plays my DVD just fine. Obviously, this is not a good solution for everyone, but as i don't mind mounting my udf data DVDs as iso9660, it does not matter to me. This bug as been here for a long time now, does anyone has a better solution? @Pierre Renié : your suggestion would not work in some cases, like mine, because only root can read the files if the directory VIDEO_TS does not have the "x" permission set for anyone. -- DVDs with restrictive permissions are unreadable for normal user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
