To burn/print lightscribe media under Linux, you need two things:
|
|
|
|
* the [LightScribe System Software](http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/linux/index.aspx)
|
|
* a labelling program, such as [LightScribe Simple Labeler](http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/linux/index.aspx?id=815)
|
|
or [4L LaCie LightScribe Labeler](http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10803)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing 4L
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
1. install the lightscribe library: `gksu gdebi-gtk lightscribe-1.14.32.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb`
|
|
1. convert the RPM to DEB (you need the packages *fakeroot* and *alien* to be installed!):
|
|
`fakeroot alien --fixperms -c -k 4L-1.0-r6.i586.rpm`
|
|
1. **on 64-bit systesm** the previous step will abort with an error, if this is the case:
|
|
* enter the `4L-1.0` directory
|
|
* rename `debian` to `DEBIAN`
|
|
* enter the `DEBIAN` directory
|
|
* delete the directory `4L`
|
|
* edit the file `control`
|
|
* remove the blank line between the `Maintainer:` and `Package:` lines
|
|
* change the `Depends:` into `Depends: lightscribe`
|
|
* add a line `Version: 1.0-r6`
|
|
* now go back to the directory containing the `4L-1.0` directory
|
|
* run `dpkg --build --force-architecture 4L-1.0`
|
|
1. install the newly generated DEB file: `gksu gdebi-gtk 4l_1.0-r6_i386.deb` (on 64-bit systems use
|
|
`dpkg -i --force-architecture 4L-1.0.deb`)
|
|
1. create a menu shortcut to `/usr/bin/4L-gui` using the *System* → *Preferences* → *Main Menu* tool (as an icon I used
|
|
the LightScribe-logo from [WikiPedia](http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:LightScribe-Logo.svg))
|
|
|
|
|
|
No drive detected
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
If *4L-gui* doesn't detect any drive, try running it from a console window. If you see the following error message:
|
|
|
|
user@host:/usr/lib% 4L-gui
|
|
4L-cli: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
|
|
|
|
The described library is missing (as with *Karmic Koala*). Either try finding it in `aptitude` or do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. create a file `/etc/ld.so.conf/lightscribeApplications.conf` with the following contents:
|
|
`/opt/lightscribeApplications/common/Qt`
|
|
1. run `sudo ldconfig`
|
|
|
|
This will index the libraries in the given folder - where there is the `libstdc++.so.5` found. If this breaks other
|
|
programs for you, use this command:
|
|
|
|
sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lightscribeApplications/common/Qt /usr/bin/4L-gui
|
|
|
|
|
|
root privileges required
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you get the error ***Printing requires root privileges*** first check whether you called it with `gksu` or `sudo`
|
|
and if yes, check, whether the files `/usr/4L/4L-gui` and `/usr/4L/4L-cli` have any *setuid*-bits set. If so, remove
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
Or do it the other way around and make sure, the *setuid* mode is set and make `root` the owner.
|
|

Installing Simple Labeler
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
1. install the lightscribe library: `gksu gdebi-gtk lightscribe-1.14.32.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb`
|
|
1. install the simple labeler: `gksu gdebi-gtk lightscribeApplications-1.10.19.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb`
|
|
1. **on 64-bit systems** you have to link the `liblightscribe.so` and `liblightscribe.so.1` into the `/usr/lib32`
|
|
directory (moving might also work):
|
|
|
|
ln -s /usr/lib/liblightscribe.so /usr/lib32/liblightscribe.so
|
|
ln -s /usr/lib/liblightscribe.so.1 /usr/lib32/liblightscribe.so.1
|
|
1. create a menu shortcut to `/opt/lightscribeApplication/SimpleLabeler/SimpleLabeler` using the *System* →
|
|
*Preferences* → *Main Menu* tool (as an icon I used the LightScribe-logo from [WikiPedia](http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:LightScribe-Logo.svg))
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enabling enhanced Contrast
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
To make burned labels appear darker, you can activate the *enhanced contrast* feature which is present in the library
|
|
since version 1.8.15.1. The procedure is described at the [PSE site](http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/pse/).
|
|
|
|
Darker contrast needs more time to burn!
|
|
|
|
To enable this feature, run the following command from a command-line:
|
|
|
|
sudo /usr/lib/lightscribe/elcu.sh
|
|
|
|
You will see something like this:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
Current contrast setting: Default
|
|
|
|
MODIFY CONTRAST SETTINGS:
|
|
1 This will make your labels darker, but you will experience a longer label time
|
|
2 This will reset your LightScribe contrast to default factory settings
|
|
Select new setting: _
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Type <kbd>1</kbd> and confirm with <kbd>ENTER</kbd>.
