Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope can not play encrypted DVDs or use certain Windows codecs out of the box. This guide will show you how to install the Medibuntu repository and these codecs.
Add the Medibuntu Repository
In a terminal type:
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/jaunty.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
Then you have to add the GPG Key to authenticate the packages and Update
In a terminal type:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
You may be asked to accept this package even though it cannot be authenticated. This is normal; typing "Yes" means you trust Medibuntu.
Download the encrypted DVD playback codecs
In a terminal type:
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
Download the Window codecs
In a terminal type:
sudo apt-get install w32codecs
Download Skype
In a terminal type:
sudo apt-get install skype

No, you don't.
The mini has a built in microphone directly below the touchpad.
libdvdread3 isn't there.
But libdvdcss2 is.
Same for me libdvdread3 not there, but libdvdcss2 was there
sudo apt-get install libdvdread3
it worked for me
red@red-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install libdvdread3

re Skype
E: Couldn't find package skype
Any suggestions?
Ubuntu is growing. The number of users is exploding. The repos are getting hit hard. It's there, try again. Be patient or use this link:
http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/skype.html
I've reinstalled 9.04 from scratch leaving the beta behind. In reinstalling all the goodies listed here I still can get the libdvdread3 library to be found and/or installed. I also can't get Skype to work. Every time I try the "test" call it tells me there is a problem with my audio. Are these things connected? I must be missing some resources. Skype on the Mini 9 using Jaunty would make this a very useful machine.
