Is there a way to fix this? All i want to do is to be able watch dvds!
Breezy is a pretty old distro of Ubuntu, it might be hard to find working repositories for it(thats just my thinking, I'm sure there's still some out there)...
Anyways, on the link you posted, read down a bit, and you'll see this...
did you try checking those two? It doesn't look like you'll have much luck with those either, my only other suggestion would be to upgrade to either Dapper or Edgy.

How do you install a newer version of ubuntu? Can you do it with apt-get from the terminal?
I have set up a sort of a system monitor using my own scripts and iv set them to update every 5 mins using crontab.
If i installed a new distro version would all these scripts and settings be gone??

My guess is, yes, they would be gone.... I'm not saying you couldn't re-do them in Dapper or Edgy, but I think the problem you're running in to, is Breezy is so old, most of the repositories have been closed. I *think* you could do a kernel upgrade to Dapper, but I've always just backed up files, and done a clean install, it seems to work better.
