[Liverpool] Ubuntu and libdvdcss - in fact any distro!

[Paul Hendrick]

Hi Tony,
try adding this:
deb http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/ breezy free non-free
to your /etc/apt/sources.list
and then do apt-get update

now install libdvdcss

i'd guess installing from souces/tarballs isn't installing the lib in  
the right place.
you can look at what other packages are available in that repo by  
snooping around http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/pool/dapper/
there's lots of goodies in the 'PLF' repo's (package liberation front).

(above, change dapper to breezy if that's your distro version)

cheers,
paul
