    32-Bit Installation

    If you have a 32-bit system, you should be good to go! Just install the debs, like so:

    sudo dpkg -i lightscribe*.deb
sudo dpkg -i 4l*.deb

    Now I haven’t tested this because I do not have a 32-bit system so if you have trouble, let us know in the comments! I can always cook up a VM to test this in properly.

    64-Bit Installation

    If you are using a 64-bit operating system, which I would wager to guess that that is true, you will have to force the software onto your system. This is never recommended, but i can’t imagine that the impact of the software is significant enough to cause any damage to your install. The Ubuntu help page however, gives the following warning;

    So, that said, here are the commands!

    sudo dpkg --install --force architecture lightscribe*.deb
sudo dpkg --install --force-architecture 4l*.deb

    Now, let’s run it.

    If you want to create a disc with an image covering the surface:

    sudo 4L-gui

    If all you need to do it print a little text on a disc:

    /opt/lightscribeApplications/SimpleLabeler/SimpleLabeler

  2. The following method was succesfully tested on 15.04 64bit:

    1. Install the following dependencies:

      sudo apt-get install gdebi libsm6:i386

    2. Download the Lightscribe deb packages from the Pawtec website:

      wget http://www.pawtec.com/lightscribe_files/Linux/LSS/lightscribe-1.18.27.10-linux-2.6-intel.deb
wget http://www.pawtec.com/lightscribe_files/Linux/LSL/lightscribeApplications-1.18.15.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb

    3. Download the multi-arch version of LaCie 4L Labeler utility created by Davide Depau.

      wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/davidedduos/misc/4l_1.0-1_i386.deb

    4. Install the Lightscribe deb packages:

      sudo dpkg -i lightscribe*.deb

    5. Install the LaCie 4L Labeler utility and its dependencies with:

      sudo gdebi 4l_1.0-1_i386.deb

    Now to create labels run:

    /opt/lightscribeApplications/SimpleLabeler/SimpleLabeler

    To burn your disc type:

    4L-gui
