By default it doesn’t play at all. With errors “Totem doesn’t see the disk”, “No appropriate video plugin”. If your hardware is OK, thus it is probably you should add the support for restricted formats. Read here for details.

• At the Synaptic Package Manager Settings -> Repositories -> Checkbox “Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse)”. Close. Reload the Package manager by the upper button.
• At the Application -> Accessories -> Terminal run the command in one line to install all needed packages from command line.
  

  sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gxine libxine-main1 libxine-extracodecs ogle ogle-gui

• Get the package libdvdcss2_1.2.5-1_i386.deb from here. To play back decrypted DVDs. Install it. How ? Application -> Add/Remove Program, you know.
• Start Ogle. Do you see it ? That’s it !

Still no effect ? Well… Go smoke https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats by yourself.

Wordpress has always had trouble with interpreting the “–” or the em-dash. You type two dashes and receive long “em-dash”. As for me it is necessary to avoid the usage of long dashes. Especially for the domanstration of the code examples.

Thus you need the further WordPress rapid dirty hack - to switch of the string substitution at wp-include/formatting.php as for Wordpress 2.X. It is located in the upper ten lines and is impossible to demonstrate here due to WYSIWYG editor problems.

This is another thing you should not forget when the Wordpress upgrade time comes.
