I have the libdvd* and libmad* installed and when I try to start from
command line I get one quick flash and then an error message appears.
Totem could not startup
Could not link video output thread (CS and balance)
Some one else told me to try a cat /etc/fstab with a DVD in the player
and I got among may lines the following
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom so I assume it is mounted and something else is
wrong with totem.
