Ubuntu 11.04 AMD64
4L-gui seems to work if you use the principia .deb package and –force-all. Must be run as root (sudo).

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
cd /dist
wget http://download.lightscribe.com/ls/lightscribe-1.18.23.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb
sudo dpkg -i –force-all lightscribe-1.18.23.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb
sudo wget http://download.lightscribe.com/ls/lightscribeApplications-1.18.15.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb
sudo dpkg -i –force-all lightscribeApplications-1.18.15.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb
wget http://download.lightscribe.com/ls/lightscribePublicSDK-1.18.6.1-linux-2.6-intel.rpm

sudo wget http://principialabs.com/files/4l_1.0-r6_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i –force-all 4l_1.0-r6_i386.deb

The only things that come to mind immediately are checking permissions on the lib file, just in case. Also, is it possible that it’s looking somewhere else for the library and not in /usr/lib? Maybe it has something to do with the new version of the lightscribe software. If I can find anything, I post another reply here.

Hi,

I’m getting a different error. I did all the steps you specified, except I installed the latest version of light-scribe, since I assumed this guide may be a bit old.

I’m running Ubuntu 9.10 on AMD 64. The installation went through fine, with –force-all flag of course, and I have libc++5 installed as well.

4L-gui runs fine, but I get an error from 4L-cli :
4L-cli: error while loading shared libraries: liblightscribe.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The gui works but when I attempt printing stuff it doesn’t recognise any drives.

I checked /usr/lib and it contains liblightscribe.so.1 so don’t know why it can’t find it.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

cheers,
Shuku.

I pulled this off of an archived Ubuntu forums website. Before following these steps ensure that a symlink libstd++.so.5 is in the /usr/lib directory and points to libstd++.so.5.0.7. These files should be placed into the directory after installing the package libstd++5. In (K)ubuntu 9.10 this package must be downloaded and installed manually from the Ubuntu 9.04 package list.

1. Download the LaCie labeling application: http://www.lacie.com/download/drivers/4L-1.0-r6.i586.rpm

2. use fakeroot (or sudo) to convert the rpm to a deb.
fakeroot
alien -d 4L-1.0-r6.i586.rpm
exitIt won’t do so cleanly since I’ve found no way to tell alien to ignore the architecture of an rpm file. At any rate, this step leaves you with a folder called 4L-1.0

3. Go into the 4L-1.0 folder.
3a. Rename debian to DEBIAN
3b. Go into the DEBIAN folder inside.
3c. Trash the “4l” folder you find there.

4. Edit the control file in the DEBIAN folder. Change the architecture to amd64 and depends to getlibs.
Dependencies don’t really matter since you already took care of that in AI’s install above.
4a. Add the following line to the file if it’s not there already:
Version: 1.0-1

5. Save the control file, cd back to your Desktop, and build and install the deb file.
dpkg –build 4L-1.0
dpkg -i 4L-1.0.deb

6. Can be run with
4L-gui

The Lacie 4l does not appear to work on Kubuntu 9.10 AMD64 system, although the LightScribe Simple Labeler does recognize the drive.

Even though libstd++5 is installed and symlinks in appropriate location I receive the error message that libstd++5 is not found when running $sudo 4L-cli enumerate.
