Problem with installing libdvdcss

**jamadagni** · 08-19-2005

I downloaded and compiled libdvdcss 1_29 without any errors, but when I try to install it using KPackage on Yoper 2, I get the following errors:

<usr/src/yoper/RPMS/i686/libdvdcss2-1.2.9-0.pm.0.i686.rpm';echo RESULT=$?
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.9331: line 1: fg: no job control
error: %post(libdvdcss2-1.2.9-0.pm.0) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
RESULT=1

Please advise. Thanks.

hove you tried installing the .rpm in the command line?

Code:

rpm -ivh /usr/src/yoper/RPMS/i686/libdvdcss2-1.2.9-0.pm.0.i686.rpm

I get the following output:

this is strange.

Have you tried getting libdvdcss via apt-get?

Code:

apt-get install libdvdcss

(Same guy as jamadagni here. This a/c is for my father.)

Code:

root@yos vasudevan # apt-get install libdvdcss

I loaded up Synaptic and it said that libdvdcss 1.29 already exists. But if I try to uninstall it I get the error:

Code:

While preparing for installation&#58;
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.95047&#58; line 1&#58; fg&#58; no job control
error&#58; %postun&#40;libdvdcss2-1.2.9-0.pm.0&#41; scriptlet failed, exit status

Anyway, why did I try to uninstall/upgrade it? My media player Kaffeine does not run DVD movies. I thought I only needed to install libdvdcss to do that. Should I tackle that problem from a different angle?

Exact problem with Kaffeine: When I load up a vob file, (have to manually select the file by browsing - have no "play DVD" option [at least, that I can see]) - when I load up a vob file, it just shows a rectangular box of blue. That's it. No audio, no video.

To play dvd's you need to have both libdvdcss (which you have) and libdvdread

I loaded up Kynaptic again and guess what I find:
I have libdvdread installed, but the libdvdcss that was registering as present is no longer there. Again when I try to install libdvdcss I get:

Code:

<usr/src/yoper/RPMS/i686/libdvdcss2-1.2.9-0.pm.0.i686.rpm';echo RESULT=$?
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.66091&#58; line 1&#58; fg&#58; no job control
error&#58; %post&#40;libdvdcss2-1.2.9-0.pm.0&#41; scriptlet failed, exit status 1
RESULT=1

Thanks for your time and advice!

Hmm, this is strange, have you tried downloading another .rpm like the one from sourceforge

Tried now. No use:

Code:

<usr/src/yoper/RPMS/i686/libdvdcss2-1.2.9-0.pm.0.i686.rpm';echo RESULT=$?
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.66091&#58; line 1&#58; fg&#58; no job control
error&#58; %post&#40;libdvdcss2-1.2.9-0.pm.0&#41; scriptlet failed, exit status 1
RESULT=1

Now what exactly does this reported error mean? Will that give us some clue?

can you post line one of /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.66091 ?
