How to install encrypted DVD playback in Kubuntu

Now, without further ado, here is how to enable playback of encrypted DVDs in Ubuntu:

  • Open up a terminal - the terminal can be found in Gnome by navigating to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal, or if using Kubuntu, by navigating to the KMenu -> System -> Konsole.
  • Type: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list - this will open up gedit (a text editor), with your software repositories source list opened as root. You may be asked for a password at this point.
  • Scroll to the end of your sources list and add the following line: 
 deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/feisty free non-free
  • Save your modified sources list and return to the Terminal
  • Type in the following, which will download the medibuntu verification/encryption key and add it to your list of approved repositories: 
 wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
  • Now type in the following three lines of text, in order: 
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get upgrade
 sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
  • Wait for the libdvdcss2 library to download and install. When it is finished, try out an encrypted DVD via the Totem Movie Player, and you should be all set!
