[Tfug] ubuntu dvd player trouble

[will mcnulty]

you might want to try using gxine, i know on my ubuntu system i
sometimes use, totem doesnt work for crap. gxine plays dvds a lot better
imo. give that a try and see if the problem persistes. or run the app
from command line with no and symbol and see what errors it says if any.
