[SATLUG] Ubuntu Feisty and Playing DVDs

[tbeck]

As silly as this sounds... there was an issue with setting up the  
/dev/dvd at one point, make sure that is linked to the /dev/(dvd rom  
device) with the right permissions for user access... that might fix  
this issue.

libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading
libdvdnav: vm: faild to open/read the DVD

Perhaps?
