Well, I still think that that kind of resources is the right place for an issue like this. As long as we don't know why you fail to access DVDs, it's hard to adapt the documentation. It might be some none-docs bug or something special with your system...

Another option is to post to the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list:

There is no Ubuntu 16.02.x released. Do you mean 14.04?

That indicates that the libdvdcss library is already installed. You can confirm it with this command:

dpkg -L libdvdcss2 | grep so

Right, that's why the documentation was changed.

I convert this bug report to a question in the hope that someone can
shed some light on the issue.

Title:
  Ubuntu 16.04 -17.10 unable to access DVD

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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!
