| Would really like to see Lightscribe included. I haven't seen a deb distro with it yet. |

$ apt-cache search lightscribe
$
Tell me where we could find it (and yes, for including it into sidux it would need to be dfsg free). |

I found the files needed at Lacie. It is a default app in the repo for PCLinuxOS 0.94 TR2. I have it installed by using alien to create debs. It is a very basic app but adds a little decor to cds. Just thought it would be nice to have it in the repo.
Thanks |

| "Nice to have" doesn't make it legally redistributable, nor free and open source software - and for anything to be included in sidux it would need to qualify as dfsg free. |

Is there a license file in the package? if so, does it allow redistribution? if not, then no dice.
Why not pass along a link so slh can review the license and he can then make a decision. |

| From what I understand it is a non-free, closed source kernel module. |

| So then it CANNOT be included in the ISO...but not sure if it can be legally distributed as a deb from the non-free repo |

| Everything a quick web search finds are i586 RPMs of unredistributable, closed source nature. For something as optional as that dfsg free sources compatible to i686 and amd64 at least are pretty much a hard requirement for me. |

LINUX (i386 kernel 2.6)

LSS support for Debian-based Linux distributions such as Ubuntu is now available. We appreciate your patience and support.
http://download.lightscribe.com/ls/ligh ... -intel.deb
1. You will also need to install a labeling program such as the Simple Labeler or LaCie's 4L labeler.
2. Administrator or SuperUser account access and passwords are required for the LSS package installations.
3. This package MUST be installed BEFORE your LightScribe labeling applications to maintain the necessary dependencies.
4. Save any work in progress and close down all active programs, especially any labeling applications.
5. The exact installation steps will be different depending on your Linux distribution. Below are example procedures using the command line or a graphical user interface.
Command Line
1. Activate your terminal program.
2. Locate the downloaded installation file and “cd” into the same directory. Typically, this is your "home" directory.
3. You will need to have Administrator privaleges by either logging in as "superuser" or use the "sudo" command. In either case, you will need to have your Admin password, and the following steps will use the "sudo" command.
1. Type the following in your command line, inserting the downloaded filename
sudo dpkg -i «filename»
2. Enter your Admin password when prompted
3. To check the status of the installation, type the following command:
dpkg -s lightscribe
GUI (e.g. Gnome)
1. You may close any browser download screen when the download process is complete.
2. Locate and double click the downloaded intallation file to start the package installation using your default package installer. Files are typically downloaded to your "home" directory.
3. Enter the Administrator password when prompted if you’re not logged in as an Administrator.

I wouldn't mind lightscribe but when I tried it on PCLinuxOS it told me I didn't have a lightscribe enabled device, even though my dvd writer has a HUGE lightscibe sticker on it and the drawer has the word lightscribe imprinted on it.
Not sure it's worth the hassle for me. |
