[clug] watch DVD movies with ubuntu 9.04

[jhock]

Hi Ian and Denise,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I tried to load libdvdcss2 using:

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

and got the following message:

"
Package libdvdcss2 is not available, but is referred to by another
package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted,
or is only available from another source.
"

This is where my limited knowledge failed. ;--) I have no idea what to
do next.

Thanks.

John
