(Get the code!)
Since I bought my laptop, I couldn't read dvd. I never searched for a solution -
until today.
This was a brand new laptop and it never booted anything else than ubuntu. The
region code for the DVD drive was not set and it seems the drive refused to read
DVD for this reason.
After installing and using regionset (in universe, I think), it now works. There
was no user friendly error but just this in the syslog:
Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 1877480
hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: command error: error=0x50
ide: failed opcode was 100
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 15019848
FWIW, I'm using xine to read dvd, but I suspect it's libdvdread that should
handle this.
