Kubuntu 8.04 DVD Playback

I needed playback of commercial DVD's and the default library's and repositories aren't available out of the box. Regrettably automatix is not supported on Hardy Heron which used to be an excellent installer of unofficial programs and librarys.

So the answer is to add the mediabuntu.org repositorys and key which will then allow you to install "libdvdcss" and also the "w32codecs" for good measure (you will also find some amarok updates).

Run the following in konsole:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

and then:

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Then Bob's your mother's Brother!
