Hey, I’m trying to get Lightscribe to work on Arch Linux, and well, it doesn’t. Will someone with a internal Lightscribe enabled drive please tell me what the output is to:
cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
Also, what directory does it mount under (for instance, /media/cdrom)?
Any help will be appreciated.
This is my output:

I Hope this helps. BTW. I use SuSE 10.2

Isn’t Arch Debian based? If so, according to the Lightscribe website, Debian based distros have a problem in their later versions. For instance, Ubuntu Dapper (6.06) will work fine but Ubuntu Edgy (6.10) won’t.
Arch isn’t based on any other distro.
Linny, thanks. As far as I can tell, there’s something about where the disk mounts internally that’s causing the problem. On Fedora, the disk symlinks to /media/disk. Arch uses the out of the box standards whenever it can. Unfortunately, the Lightscribe devs haven’t gotton back to me, so I can’t get better information.
mrunion, I though that I read that Edgy is working now. I know the webpage hasn’t been updated to reflect that, but I believe that I ran across it somewhere in my search for information.
Thanks for the Arch correction. Also, I’ll have to see about Edgy again. I know someone came up with a way to run a “virtual Dapper” kernel/install from Edgy using “chroot” or something. I haven’t done that.
I’m considering moving to Arch myself but want to “feel it out” on my home Desktop PC first, then convert my laptop.
