Running this through an external DVD drive. Videos app says DVD source is required to play the file, but is not installed. Hitting play in VLC activates the disc (you can hear it start up in the drive) but nothing happens. I've installed Ubuntu Restricted Extras and libdvdread4 and libdvdcss.  I know varieties of this question have been asked before, but none of the answers I've tracked down are solving the issue.

I was trying to watch some video in YouTube today. I am not able to listen to what they are speaking. But whenever some music come up I am able to hear it. Why is this?  (I am using Firefox if it’s relevant.)

I have read all seven Harry Potter books, and The Cursed Child1, but I've only watched the first two movies.  Do I have to watch all eight movies in order to fully understand the significant plot points found in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them?  Is there anything that I'll miss by not having seen them?    1 Waste of money, that.

Chromium on Ubuntu 12.04. Youtube says:     This video is currently unavailable   I don't know why but this is the case for some videos, but not all. Well, most videos. And I don't know what's wrong.  Anyone help?

How does one refresh thumbnails in nautilus? In my videos folder I have some MKVs and only half of them have the movie border and a excerpt from the movie and the others (also MKVs encoded in the same way) just have the ordinary film icon.  (F5 doesnt do it.)

I have seen people say to click get info then do something with the 'open with' but when I go to get info there is NO open with option, no options to change at all. I cannot drag the files into VLC like I could before the upgrade either. Please help me out! I am not real tech savvy, but I can do basics and follow instructions. Thanks.

I am trying to ask a question about getting my hardware to work but I don't know what information to add to my question to get help, what do I need to do?  Related if you don't have access to a GUI:

I was wondering how low you could go with hardware that would still be able to smoothly run HD movies.  My current plan is around $215 CAD w/o a hard drive: Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.2 GHz - 1GB DDR/SDRAM - 512MB X1600 Pro AGP - 350W PSU - ECS P4VXASD2+ - Bluray/DVD-RW drive.  As for the hard drive, could I just get a 7200RPM IDE HDD? Also, I'm planning on installing XP Pro SP3, unless Ubuntu somehow has an advantage.  I'm not wanting this to be a media center only computer... just want it to be a normal computer with just enough oomph to play HD movies.  Thanks in advance.  EDIT1: Forgot to mention that the Bluray/DVD-RW drive is SATA, but I was planning on getting an SATA-IDE adapter or a PCI card with SATA.  EDIT2: Oh yes... if I get a PCI card with SATA, would you then recommend I use an SATA hard drive as well? That would leave all the IDE ports on the motherboard unused... is that a good idea?

Brand new install of 17.10, love it so far.  I especially love the new Firefox browser but I can't seem to get my videos to play on photos.google.com.  All I get is a static screen with "This video format is not supported".    I did install Chrome and they do play through that browser, so I know I'm just missing something on my Firefox install.  I tested Flash and that seems to work on the Adobe flash test site after I allow it, but I never get a prompt to allow Flash on the Google photos page, I assume they're using something else anyway.  Any ideas?

Hi I purchased and attempted to download MyCraft, but there was an error in the download.  No option to attempt another download, just offer to buy again.  Suggestions?

The HTPC in my living room is the fastest/most modern PC I own.  My current TV is a 24" tube TV, so I have to hook up a secondary monitor in order to read anything besides the menus in Windows Media Center, and that alone is kind of annoying.  I'm also tired of having to sit on the floor to do any web browsing or reading on the PC, since there's no practical way to set up a computer desk over there.  I've seen charts on recommended TV sizes for various viewing distances, but those are all oriented toward home theater, not the ability to read web pages from a distance with little or no eye strain.  I'm curious whether anyone has personally tried web browsing or coding on a 1080p TV from halfway across the room.  If so, what size TV do you use, and how far away do you sit (from the screen to your eyeball)?  More specifically, is a 40" 1080p LCD HDTV adequate for web browsing, reading, and general-purpose computing while sitting 12-15 feet away?  If not, do I need something bigger/need to move a little closer?  What size and viewing distance should I be shooting for?  Aside from resolution (I'm already settled on 1080p), are there any other factors that will make a noticeable difference in the TV's performance as a computer monitor?  I found a similar question, but it wasn't quite specific enough to answer my question:

A  apparently had tons of stuff not shown in English ones.  One of the most intriguing pieces for me was a scene where      ... Finn ...   armed with a lightsaber fights a stormtrooper armed with some sort of weird weapon - which Blocks the lightsaber!.    What is that weapon and how does it manage to block?  UPDATE: found an animated GIF of the fight. I hope nobody gets a headache, sorry in advance:
