Re: How do I get Ubuntu Studio to play dvds.

[David King]

I would like to add that when I was previously using Ubuntu Studio 
10.10, I had much better luck with VLC and other programs in playing 
video DVDs, it seems that with 12.04 things are not quite the same. 
Probably because of moving from Gnome 2 to Xfce. I still prefer the old 
Gnome 2, but have managed to get the Xfce desktop more or less to my 
liking, the Cairo Dock is particularly helpful.

I had originally created the DVD ISO with Devede, but as that would not 
play, I tried DVD Styler -- which produced a better DVD.


I have just tried a different video DVD ISO and that also would not work 
in VLC or Xine. Then I tried it in Movie Player and it worked, and the 
DVD I just created also worked in Movie Player, but still not in Xine 
which keeps saying it cannot play DVDs.


As for the comment on mounting the ISO, that was the first thing I 
tried, and trying to get VLC to open it as a mounted DVD, which failed.


So at least it can work, with Movie Player, but not with other software 
that I thought could play DVDs, whereas I never thought of Movie Player 
as a DVD playing program.


I have not yet burned the ISO to an actual disc, just wanted to be sure 
it all worked okay first, from the ISO, before using a disc. At least 
now I know it works can be burned.

Thanks for your input Ralf, Sorry for being confusing. My problem
happens on Precise (ubuntustudio12.04), but not on Quantal (xubuntu12.10)

I think you'd need to poke around a bit more to see what the issue is/was.
It can be challenging chasing those things down. For me, I just don't
upgrade my production machine often. I usually have a copy running in
virtualbox, and either on another test machine or hard drive. I test *all*
upgrades of the kernel, or alsa, or ffado... mission critical components
that I can't risk breaking. I usually don't even have my production machine
online.

Test a known good dvd.. now you are troubleshooting a burner, the media,

There are several issues with Quantal on my machine too. Some issues can

Try an ISO mounting app from the software center and play it like a regular
DVD.

Re: How do I get Ubuntu Studio to play dvds.

[David King]

I am having some problems playing DVD files on my Ubuntu Studio 12.04.

The DVD is an ISO file, created using DVD Styler, from my own mpeg files.

I am surprised that Ubuntu Studio cannot play the DVDs it creates.

I looked online and could not find a suitable solution yet. I have tried 
playing the ISO in VLC and Xine. With VLC, nothing much happens, and 
then VLC will not close and hogs the CPU until I kill it. With Xine, it 
reports that it cannot play the file.


I was able to play the ISO as a DVD in a Windows virtual machine on the 
same PC, so this a problem with something missing in Ubuntu Studio. I 
have the restricted extras installed, including libdvdread.


So how can I play the DVD ISO files I created in Ubuntu Studio?

Update problem..

[Joseph Ronne]

Had been enjoying Ubuntu Studio 12.04 amd64 for a few months now and when
an update notification came along I would simply run it, never with any
problem. Yesterday a new one was indicated (mostly lowlatency and java
modules) so i pushed the install button. Hours later it was still running..
A look at the system showed period of 100% and 10% use of the processors
switching between one and the other periodically. A look at the two drives
on the system indicated they were both and the auxilery (55gb) gad been
unmounted. At that point (six hours in) I manually rebooted. The system
came to a halt beginning with a 'Broken pipe' message followed by a few
test messages ending in ok after which a hang. In terminal very little
could be done.. both drives showed up chock full... It appears the pipe
broke during the lowlatency install, or towards its end. It appears the
pipe in question involves writing, perhaps redundantly to a drive (these
are sata)...
Wondering if any one else has experienced this.?.
Created a Live USB of 12.10 amd64 (wanted to look at it anyway) and booted
with it. Disk info showed redundent copies of both drives both 100% full.
Removed the boot drive and then installed/updated 12.10 to the auxiliary
drive. All is well. Removed the Aux, hooked up the old boot drive and ran
Live from the USB. Recovered some files and then told it to install 12.10
keeping what it could of 12.04. The install has been running for a few
hours now.. Questions
Is it possible to end the hung system from the terminal ?
I will wait another hour to see if an answer comes..
barring that i will manually halt and do a 'wipe' install from the USB..

Thanks for any suggestions you may have
