[Bug 1715028] [NEW] Ubuntu 16.04 -17.10 unable to access DVD

 

Public bug reported:

I can not access a DVD disk on 16.04, thru 17.10 installs. I have been
here before with 16.02 but was able to get it to work. I have followed
all the recommended procedures for this well known issue and have gained
nothing,

I have been to ask ubuntu as well as answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/
These solutions do not fix the issue.

With the same drive, I can put in a data disk and it works immediately
every time. The system sees the drive. But when I put in a DVD -
nothing. VLC + Kodi + all other dvd reading software can not open the
file system..

Like I said earlier... This same computer and same drive worked
perfectly under 16.02.x

libdvd-pkg
libdvdread4 libdvdnav4
libxvidcore4
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good
gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
gstreamer1.0-alsa
gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3
gstreamer1.0-libav
Codecs - all installed

Are all installed successfully

sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg - tells me it is already installed.

/usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh` - does not exist in these
ubuntu versions and can not be executed.

I have hooked up external dvd drives - same issue. They read data but
not DVDs

Am I missing something?

Thanks for your assistance!
