How does one get DVDs to open in Ubuntu? I have a couple of DVDs from Digit magazine to check out. I followed several tips from the websites like installing mc, dvd:rip, etc, but no go.
However CDs immediatly create a file on the desktop....
get the following error messages:
91 audio & 204 video codecs Linux RTC init error in ioctl (rtc_irqp_set 1024): Permission denied Try adding "echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq" to your system startup scripts.

I use /dev/hdc instead of /dev/dvd works fine for me.
Have you changed anything in /etc/fstab ? Try mehul's suggestion. If it does not work, try this:
Go to System>>Administrations>>Users & Groups. Click on the user you want to be able to access devices. Click on Properties. Go to the User Privileges tab. Mark all checkboxes as selected. Try again.

make sure that /dev/dvd points to the right device. do a ls -l to see where /dev/dvd is currently pointing to. If it is the wrong device then simply remove /dev/dvd and recreate the symbolic link to the right device. Or the shorter way would be to use /dev/hdX instead of /dev/dvd.
dmesg can also give you a lot of help when determining which device is your dvd drive.

Ubuntu does it automatically, unless you changed some settings. Here is my fstab entry for optical drives in Ubuntu 5.10
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
