There was a slightly older version of the software that I was able to install on a 64-bit ubuntu system. Your current version fails due to an architecture issue.
Could you please advise how to install this on a 64-bit ubuntu?
Thanks,

At this point, the LightScribe System Software is only available for 32 bit systems. I apologize for the limited support for Linux 64 bit. I have received feedback from different customers who have successfully installed LightScribe on 64 bit Ubuntu installations by using the option "dpkg -i --force-architecture....”. At this point we have not been able to test this option so I cannot officially provide support for it but you may be able to research it further.

I appreciate the reply. I noted on your FAQs that you have been trying to get a 64-bit version working since July 2007.
Given that's more than a year ago, could you please advise when we may be able to expect native 64-bit support?
Many thanks,

The following instructions worked for me to install lightscribe under 64-bit ubuntu. Open a terminal, then copy and paste each command as required.
The version numbers will need to be changed to match the actual download files. The first two commands will install the LightScribe software. The remaining commands will resolve issues with referencing a required library.
sudo dpkg -i --force architecture lightscribe-1.12.37.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force architecture lightscribeApplications-1.10.19.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/liblightscribe.so.1 /usr/lib32/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/liblightscribe.so /usr/lib32/
sudo ldconfig
The following instruction will provide a two-item menu that includes an option to print darker labels:
sudo /usr/lib/lightscribe/elcu.sh

Unfortunately there is no set date for a tru Linux 64 bit LSS, but it seems that you can run the 32 bit application by enabling the required libraries.

Just another note!
I am using an HP Pavillion dv9825nr Notebook PC that came with an integral LightScribe drive, It is running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (32/64 bit). It is installed as and runs as an executable in the "Program Files (x86)" Folder. So far it has been running fine with only media problems.

I had to add the 32 bit libraries to get it to work for me:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
sudo dpkg -i --force architecture lightscribe-1.18.6.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force architecture lightscribeApplications-1.18.6.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/liblightscribe.so.1 /usr/lib32/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/liblightscribe.so /usr/lib32/
sudo ldconfig
now I'm labeling with two drives at the same time!

The last instructions work with Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala desktop amd64 too, using the lightscribe version 1.18.9.1.
