in regards to totem being able to play the DVD, it could possibly be that totem has a UDF parser within it, and is reading the raw device and hence ignores the permissions.
In regards to UDF permissions, a possible solution (possibly hack) to the issue instead of getting rid of permission entirely 1) mount disk on insertion 2) check if it's video DVD (AUDIO_TS/VIDEO_TS folder) 3) check perms 3a) if invalid, remount with option to sanitize perms -- DVDs with restrictive permissions are unreadable for normal user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
