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.

I agree - the last instructions worked for me too! For newbies like me, terminal will spit out some objections, but work. After running the code above, the files are located: Filesystem/opt/lightscribeApplications/SimpleLabeler
Note: You can also double click on the SimpleLabeler file to start it.After both are installed you can make a launcher for it (you will need the file path above). Thanks for this information!!

Hi,
It work for me too!
Just a little add to CC post.
If you create a luncher, there is a nice icon in :
/opt/lightscribeApplications/SimpleLabeler/content/images/LabelWizardIcon.png
Happy lightscriber,
Wood
n.b. To the dev team... with over 10 000 hits, a native 64 bits linux version would be welcome... I guess.

Im sorry but how hard can it be to release a 64bit version??
As a Linux developer myself I found that my project would not start. Now to solve this I simply ran my compile script to make a new binary file...DONE.
These days Linux users are not all programmers. A large amount of Ubuntu users are casual computer users. The fact that you expect them to do all this command line stuff is unfair.
Do you expect Windows users to do the same?
Didn't think so...

HELP!!!!!!!!! Can anyone please tell me why I can not burn an Lsi. file with windows 7- 64bit? Is there any way to work around this problem so I can use my duplicator!

Hi Chuck  !
I don't know if you can tell in this thread or not, but the LSI File is produced by a piece of software from the manufacturer of the duplicator!
This software is installed and "looks" lie an LS Drive.
It is seen under the Preview & Print function of the LS Template Labeler and produces the LSI File instead of the Saved File produced be the TL.
Typically, this software is only available for Windows based systems.
I don't think any manufacturer has it for any other system!
