Re: [gNewSense-users] problem playing DVD's

[Bubba cakes]

Is "ripping a CD" the same as burning music onto a CD?

I rent DVD's sometimes, but usually I check them out from my local library in Ausable Forks, NY.  Or a friend will lend me DVDs.

I couldn't find VLC Media Player.  I went to Add/Remove Programs and did a search.  Then I went to the SPM (Synaptic Package Manager) and did a search.  And finally I went to the gNS website and did a search.  The thing doesn't exist.  But I downloaded Kaffeine, and the ffsomethings plugins, and another plugin that showed in a search, and the dvd started playing, so I have totem and kaffeine, and both play Road Trip.  We'll see if it still works when i return home on Sunday

Correct. What I meant was, no rootkit (distributed by Sony and probably
for Windows) could install from ripping a CD. Unless you were ripping
the CD as root for some reason.
