Hi,
A week ago I was having a little bit of trouble adding the weather report icon to the system tray on Debian Bookworm. I eventually managed it but in the process I somehow lost the other three icons that were there, i.e. Network, (hot pluggable) Devices, and Volume. I have since restored these other three icons which now look to be slightly further apart than they used to be. Also, the Devices icon no longer plays commercial dvds.
Using Dolphin I have run a search from "/" to make sure that libdvdcss is installed. It is except that one of the files may somehow have gotten itself corrupted/renamed. This file is currently named "88libdvdcss-pkg" and has the file path of /usr/lib/libdvd-pkg/88libdvdcss-pkg. Further the icon for this file has a chain-link sub-icon. Lastly, on checking the properties for this file, I found the following error message generated by clicking the right-pointing arrow button next to the "Points to:" field.A visual inspection of /usr/lib shows that the folder libdvd-pkg is indeed missing. How could that have happened ?
However, also on this files properties dialog, the "Location:" field contains "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d". A visual inspection of this location shows the offending 88libdvdcss-pkg link file is present but with a size of zero bytes.
When I runthe system reponds with the following.
Trying to runin order to download, compile and install libdvdcss, as shown in the nixCraft webpage, How to install libdvdcss in Ubuntu _ De ... Craft.html results in the following system response.What do I do now ?
