It would like to know the following info: 1) what system libraries versions are used by liblightscribe (check with ldd) 2) CD-recording-related kernel config file options and patches that are used in Mandriva 3) what cd-dvd nodes are in /dev 4) the output of 4l-cli enumerate I hope there must be something visible that makes liblightscribe run in Mandriva but not in Arch. > A note about lightscribe for linux usability: > > Right now I find linux apps (both lightscribe & 4L from Lacie) to be pretty > useless, due to : > > 1) the *very* limited amount of options compared to their windows > counterparts > (like Droppix), > 2) their proprietary/closed sources. > > 1st point will evolve (yes I'm pretty sure about that) and I'd like to be part > of the process rather than waiting from the outside. > Also Area66 started some experimentation that show apps have much more > potential > than what is available right now to the end user. 1) there is LightScribe SDK, so I think there will be more software for labeling soon (or existing label-making software support for LightScribe), 2) I doubt this will change in near and not so near future, because LightScribe is patented.
