Hi; I experienced the same bug on a Dell Latitude E5570 with Ubuntu Studio 16.04 LTS 64 bits (uname -a, lsb_release -a: Linux 4.10.0-32-lowlatency #36~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 9 10:10:34 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ; Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS xenial). What was strange to me, was that VLC (Videolan multimedia player, http://www.videolan.org/ ) was also unable to read DVD's, while usually VLC successes anything. I first installed almost all packages I could find when searching for "gstreamer" in Synaptic → no change, as well in Parole and in VLC. I then installed almost all packages I could find when searching for "VLC" in Synaptic → OK, now both Parole and VLC are able to read DVD's. Unfortunately, I'm not able (yet) to tell which package I installed, fixed the "bug" — which is finally not a bug, as only a library or whatever, is missing. Good luck, please tell if you manage to fix the issue too! -- Luc
Oops, I forgot to precise that Ubuntu Studio is based on XUbuntu and thus uses XFCE desktop manager. In the current case, it is XFCE 4.12 on my laptop. -- Luc
Sorry for multiple comments :-/ . It looks that in the process I followed, the action which actually fixed the issue, is to have executed the command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg which I was indeed asked to launch, when installing all the packages I described in above message. -- Luc
