Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com I had the same error message... So I removed Totem and installed xine and Kaffeine. Still no DVD. I could watch vcds but no DVD... I checked the Kaffeine mailing list and there they suggested to check first my packages to run the DVDs: libdvdread 0.9.4.2 mdk libdvdcss2-1.2.8 lplf libxine1-1.0 rc3.2 plf Still no dvd ... Then I had to check the pass to the dvd player since I have a combo player. So I changed this in my Kaffeine player /dev/dvd to /dev/scd0. Now I can watch DVDs and almost remove win XP. ;-) I paste here the mail I got from the kaffeine mailing list: Open kaffeine and go to Settings-xine engine parameters-input. Is the dvd device correctly set? It should be set to the drive that is used as a dvd. If you have a DVD/CDRW combo it should be something like /dev/scd0 or /dev/sr0. Instead you can link /dev/cdrom to /dev/dvd (ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd). Hope this helps Christophe Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
