cannot play DVD's in a Fedora 10 install (laptop)

[kkempter]

Hi all;

I'm setting up Fedora 10 (i386) on a new laptop for my son.

I enabled the rpmfusion repos and did a full update. Then I enabled the linva
repo and installed libdvdcss, xine-lib-extras and dependancies

I did a chmod 755 on /dev/dvd
If we try and play a dvd we get this:


The source can't be read.

Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't
contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (Error reading NAV packet.)

I found that the /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom symlinks had 777 permissions but the device they both pointed to (/dev/sr0 was read only for root). So I did this:


1) I added a MODE="0660" to each line in
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules

2) rebooted, checked perms of /dev/sr0 and I now have rw for all

3) tried to play a dvd via kaffiene - same error:
The source can't be read

Maybe you don't have enought rights for this, or source doesn't
contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (Error reading from DVD)


4) I tried multiple DVD's - same error, also tried the same DVD's in another
laptop running Fedora 10 x86_64 - works fine

5) checked dmesg output and I see this:

Are you running gnome? If so, open application users-admin, click on his user and click properties, make sure under user privileges use CD-ROM drives is checked, this is the only thing I can think of
