Does anyone know of working LightScribe software for use with Ubuntu X64 architechture?

Cheers

maybe a starting point...http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/linux/index.aspx
I'd pose the question on their forum, might be able to find some substitute there

I have had 2 boxes of Lightscribe discs sitting around for 2 years now(1 dvd, 1cd). Maybe one of these days I'll get a round tuit!!!

Lacie Lightscribe Labeler works fine on x64. You just need to follow these instructions on symlinking to the 32-bit library. http://howtopenguin.blogspot.com/2008/0 ... re-on.html

Try saving this off as a bash script. It's a reconstructor module I was working on that I haven't release yet, but stripped out the reconstructor stuff from it so not to confuse you. If it doesn't work, it might be because I was testing a one-liner awhile ago, so if it doesn't then you should be able to find the one line and fix it.

as a regular debian user i thought i would chime in here.

Looks great. How about one for Ultimate? I think that would be the next step in making this an even more professional distro. Then TheeMahn could sell the disk's to those who have no other means of burning or do not have a fast enough internet connect to get it. Just a thought.

will never happen. thee has already said he refuses to accept money/donations on any level. i remember back when we were having hosting issues. even then he refused to accept money from the team to get better hosting.

How is the new 5.0. I was wanting to check it out, but do not want to waste the time if it is not all that it is cracked up to be.

i think its rather good actually. i use it regualarly. just as i do Ultimate Edition. ive been using it for about a yr and a half now. i always use testing tho. my only gripe with debian is if you stick with stable more often than not you end up with seriously outdated software. a new stable only comes along once every 2yrs or so. packages from unstable(sid) can be moved to testing after 10days if no critical bugs are found/reported. but packages from testing almost never make it into current stable. 5.0 is what testing was though. basically when it comes release time testing becomes new stable. at release time testing and stable are identical. hope this all makes sense. basically my testing install ive been running over a yr is basically the exact same as the current stable (5.0/lenny went stable on feb 14th).

Do I really need to download all the iso's to get the full app list available? Or can I get the first disk and then get the rest through the repo?

actually you have 3 options. either cd1. dvd1. or something called "netinstall". basically the netinstall is a 133mb iso image. it installs only the core of teh os though. no "de" or anything like that. just a basic command line system. you just download the rest (only what you need) with either apt-get or aptitude. i always opt for the netinstall option because most of whats on the first dvd i dont even use with the exception of gnome.

you can also get a minimal gnome istall by removing the check from everything but standard (during install) then after install run

Code: Select all

apt-get install gnome-core

its only a VERY basic gnome install tho. but it saves disc space and you dont download stuff you dont need.

there is ALOT of info to be found over at debian forums. but i refuse to ask a question over tehre. they have some nice members but most of them are just pricks.

I have had some success with installing packages from Debian(after going through dependency hell) when I couldn't get what I wanted from the Ubuntu repositories, but Ubuntu packages just don't work for the most part with Debian. Why? Me no know, me no care(a little Jamaican for ya all)!!!

ive always wondered that myself. i tend to stay away from mixing packages though. if its not in any distro spacific repo then i just compile it.

Check out this one for multimedia.

deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main

That/those must be the Marillat repos I keep reading about...

that is exactly correct. that is the christian marillat repo.

also i have an additional one for you

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/shames/de ... /unstable/ ./

while its not being maintained anymore. it does contain even newer versions of compiz-fusion than whats in teh repos. last i checked anyway. as well as some plugins that arent in the offical repos. ive been thinking about taking over that repo myself but havent exactly decided for sure yet.

also be very careful with yoru sources.list. i advise against mixing stable/testing/sid repos.
