Dateline Ubuntu:

So I suppose everybody here knows that you can't play a DVD on a new computer, when the DVD drive is also new, and has never had it's region set.

I'd been trying to sort this out for weeks, loading package after package, mounting the dvd manually with different options, reading bug reports that seem to be related...

So now the problem is figuring out how to undo one of the things I tried. In Nautilus, when a DVD is mounted and you show it's properties dialog, there is a Volume tab, where the mount properties can be set, for that specific DVD.

I did this on one of my DVDs and now mounting that particular DVD fails to mount.

Cr@& I didn't know that Gnome was responsible for that tab. Or that the authors have embarked on a windows regedit like thing called the gconf-editor.

No wonder Linus T. is using the word bloat.
