I’m having absolutely no luck with getting a needed DVD player functioning on my laptop. It’s a Lenovo T61, with 64 bit Opensuse 11.0 and KDE 3.5.
In previous installs all I did was to follow the JEM hacking suse guide, and everything worked. Last week I tried out open suse 11.1/KDE4 and didn’t care for the experience, and I decided to return to my old opensuse 11.0/KDE 3.5 combination.
Sound works, video works, as I expected. Nothing I did could persuade any of the video players to actually play dvds. I even formatted my / and /home partitions and did a fresh install, following the 10 point troubleshooting guide. If anything failed to show up, I went back and installed the missing software and then ran the script again.
Here’s my copy

As you can see, I did need to install missing gstreamer files.
Libdvdcss was installed first from videolan and then videolan repo was disabled.
When a dvd is inserted I get asked what I want to do and then a popup saying The source can’t be read. Maybe you don’t have enough rights for this, or source doesn’t contain data (e.g.no disc in drive). (Encrypted or faulty DVD)
I do notice that most of the discussion that mentions the dvd drive calls it /dev/dvd or /dev/sr0, but when I go to the dvd drive in konqueror, it says it’s in /media/sr0.
Does anyone know what kaffeine is expecting, and where I could check it?
Other suggestions?
And what happened to the dma setting in Yast?
