Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I tried to open a dvd movie with k3b but is says to install libdvdcss to get DVD video decryption support. However I downloaded the libdvdcss-1.3.99 and installed it without error messages. Any ideas why it doesn't work?
Following on John_VV's post, can you post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Specifically, we need to know if you have included the http://deb-multimedia.org/ repositories.

I use Debian Jessie.
I downloaded and unpacked libdvdcss-1.3.99.tar.bz2
apt-get install libdvdread4 (showed I had it already installed)
cd /home/user/Download/libdvdcss-1.3.99
# ./configure
# make
# make install
# make clean
I opened k3b again but it said I need to install libdvdcss.
Finally I opened open synaptic package manager and I tried to look for libdvdcss and I found libdvdcss2 and I marked it for installation. I installed that one and after that k3b worked. However it gave me the message that I still need to install transcode. I installed it in synaptic manager and reopened k3b but got same message. What to do now?
Thanks for the correction... I didn't install with apt-get install because when I tried I actually typed libdvdcss and didn't work so I went to synaptic manager when libdvdcss2 was listed so I installed it.
Now since you mentioned it, I went and uninstalled transcode from synaptic manager then reinstalled it with apt-get. Guess what? It actually works now with k3b. Thanks, both issues solved
