Hi, has somebody successfully used LightsScribe on an up-to-date 64bit Arch Linux install? Yesterday I tried to do it on Arch (4.8.4-1-ARCH 64bit, FWIW threadirqs) and another 64bit distro without success. Later I used another old 64bit bit distro's release for lack of time to lightscribe a DVD. FWIW it works on a very old Ubuntu Quantal 12.10 (kernel 3.6.5-rt14 64bit) install, official unsupported since 2½ years ago. Regards, Ralf

If you refer to: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lightscribe/ which is for: http://www.lightscribe.com/ I don't see their site is working. Dead project? I don't know. Wait a couple of days so their website will function again.

No, I don't refer to an AUR PKGBUILD for 32bit architecture. AFAIK http://www.lightscribe.com/ is not just temporarily down. As already pointed out, I'm using 64bit architecture. While I indeed used the 64bit LightScribe architecture PKGBUILDs from AUR, named bin32-*, e.g. bin32-lightscribe, I even don't refer to those PKGBUILDs. Getting the software isn't the problem. The AUR package does use http://www.pawtec.com , but I also used http://www.yardbird.net , to get the software. I'm interested, if somebody gets LightScribe working on an up-to-date 64bit Arch Linux, not necessarily using AUR PKGBUILDs. Regards, Ralf
The exact links to the sources I know are http://www.yardbird.net/lightscribe/ http://www.pawtec.com/lightscribe/ http://www.lacie.com/files/lacie-content/download/drivers/LaCie%20LightScrib...

Looks like archive.org has a more recent version, dunno if it works, tho.
