<font size="+1">I am running Mepis 8.5 on Dell G260. I want to play
a DVD, but no luck. I need to troubleshoot, starting with command
line id of the drive, check permissions, change stuff and make it
work with VLC, if possible.<br>
<br>
Right now, I can insert DVD, and notice that the DVD is active and
title reads correct. I open VLC and select play disc, the dialog
shows /dev/hdc, but when I hit play, the title shows briefly, then
disappears. Maybe I don't have permissions set correctly? How do
I check that?<br>
<br>
I can check sound with a command that starts with aplay followed
by file name.ogg. Is there a command for playing DVD?<br>
Thanks, Tom<br>
