Here’s how to install libdvdcss2 and a couple other useful media libraries on your Feisty box. Note that these may be “illegal”. Paste the following in your terminal.
sudo su -c 'echo deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ feisty free non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
sudo su -c 'echo deb-src http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ feisty free non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
wget -q http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 w32codecs gstreamer0.10-pitfdll
echo "done"

??? You have deb deb-src and it should be just deb-src
Great deal anyway!
Thanks, I fixed that. Copy and paste error
tnx
thanks
thank you you’ve ended my quest and dependency on “that other OS”
THANKS!!! You were the only person that I could understand what to do!!

Hey north, can you provide more info? What do you mean by locking files/folders? Can you paste the exact error messages?

Has the repository location changed? Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

The URLs appear to have changed. As of right this moment
(2008-02-01) the following incantation worked for me under
Feisty:
(1) Add the following two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ feisty free non-free
deb-src http://packages.medibuntu.org/ feisty free non-free
NOTE the URLs are not as described in nearly every post Google
finds at the moment.
(2) Grab the key, yadda yadda:
wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
(3) Install the bits:
sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2
This just worked for me. VLC and mplayer could both play a legally bought
CD (Galaxy Quest, and yes, the rolling does help).
Hoping this info makes into Google soon…

Thanks for the correction. I have been searching for the correct way to get libdvdcss or libdvdcss2 for 4 hours. Nothing else was correct as you final note. Again Thanks!
