I read so many related questions and tried so many different things, but nothing seems to work. I am really new with Ubuntu/Linux, and I would be so grateful if someone could help me with that.

The DVD spins for a few seconds, then stops. I can not see it in the finder window, and I can not mount it. I installed a whole bunch of libdvd-things but this also does not seem to work.

Typing apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-extras gives me 

ubuntu-restricted-extras:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 60
  Version table:
     60 0
        500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/multiverse amd64 Packages

Typing apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-addons gives me 

ubuntu-restricted-addons:
  Installed: 20
  Candidate: 20
  Version table:
 *** 20 0
        500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/multiverse amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Maybe someone can be so kind and help me out.

Thank you!

Regards Olivia
