LightScribe support for Linux.
Introduction
LaCie has released the first software that allows burning labels on LightScribe media using LightScribe drives under Linux.
Prerequisites
x86 distribution of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy) or newer.
LightScribe capable CD-R or DVD-R burner.
LightScribe media.
Installing
Visit the LightScribe download page for Linux: http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/linux/index.aspx
Download the LightScribe System Software package "deb package" software.
Download the LightScribe Simple Application "deb package" software.
- Double-click the lightscribe-1.18.8.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb file and follow the prompts to install it.
- Double-click the lightscribeApplications-1.18.6.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb file and follow the prompts to install it.
Run the /opt/lightscribeApplications/SimpleLabeler/SimpleLabeler program.
Installing on amd64
The LightScribe packages can be forcibly installed on 64-bit systems.
First, install the 32-bit compatibility package:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Second, force installation like this:
sudo dpkg --install --force-architecture lightscribe*.deb
This is an advanced command that can break your Ubuntu installation. Never force install a package unless you are prepared to restore the operating system from backup.
If, while trying to run the Simple Labeler application, you receive a message that states, "error while loading shared libraries: liblightscribe.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory," manually run ldconfig like this:
sudo ldconfig
Warnings
These packages install programs as setuid root, which means that they run with full system privileges and could be a security risk.
Enable Enhanced Contrast
Activating the higher contrast print mode will let you print higher quality labels, at the cost of a bit longer burn time.
- Run the Enhanced Contrast Utility for Linux
sudo /usr/lib/lightscribe/elcu.sh
Enter 1 to turn on Enhanced Contrast, or 2 to disable it.
This tip is documented on the LightScribe Pre-Release Software Evaluation page.
