Playing DVDs on Debian
I have been trying for the past couple of years trying to play DVDs on my Linux box and every time I run into some road blocks. i have studied what other people have asked in the archives with a search of DVD in the subject and body and also in the users.debian lists also. I have read and tried the many suggestions and can not figure why I am having some issues.
These are my recent steps I have taken lately.
1. according to some links I recompiled my kernel with the ide-cd module and ide-scsi as separate modules and did a
modprobe ide-scsi
modprobe sr_mod
Here is a segment of my dmesg

2. When I run gxine I get this output on the terminal
$ gxine
server: trying to connect to already running instance of gxine (/admin/root/linux/.gxine/socket)...
connect: Connection refused
server: socket '/admin/root/linux/.gxine/socket' created

lirc: and that you have the permissions to connect to the socket

3. While running gxine I
tail -f /var/log/syslog-logs/syslog
and get this response loged when gxine quits....
Jul 6 20:30:48 localhost kernel: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Jul 6 20:30:48 localhost kernel: hdc: command error: error=0x50
Jul 6 20:30:48 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 36992
I recompiled the kernel thinking if I included
CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE = Y
It would take care of the SeekComplete error but it did not and still continues to output the same error.
My bane: This has been a bane of my linux experience and very annoying to me because everyone else can get it to work but for some reason I cannot on my system. I have been trying for the last 4 years and I must be loosing my head by now. Can some one help me with this... I have exhausted my knowledge and from the Internet and the mailing lists? Thanks in advanced....
