LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Linux released Oct 17th.

Some of us are missing LightScribe capabilities on Arch Linux.
Now "4L" comes as an RPM free (as in beer) & ready for Linux
The news is there : http://www.k3b.org/ (LaCie is a k3b support)
Press release : http://www.lacie.com/company/news/news.htm?id=10293
Download page : http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10803
I've never used rpm under Arch and will seek knowledge on rpm2cpio AUR package.
Anybody's willing to get on this ?

Use rpmextract to extract the files from the rpm. Then, it's just a question of installing the files in the correct place (in $startdir/pkg), i.e. binaries in /usr/bin, libraries in /usr/lib, etc.

4L (LaCie's LightScribe Labeler for Linux) : advice wished!

As K3b Founder Sebastian Trueg said, "We're happy to see that LaCie is developing tools for Linux users, and are pleased to work with them to make it happen. With the LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Linux, [Linux] users now have access to the latest disc-labeling technology from LightScribe."
http://www.k3b.org/
I'm making the PKGBUILDs but some advice on the process would be helpfull
So far, installed with those PKGBUILDs, 4L-gui launches on my Arch (but seems to lack some functionnality) and 4L-cli segfaults even if it prints the options.
_Be aware that those PKGBUILD are not finished yet_

Romashka > Hi
Yeap, it seems using LightScribe on Arch may be a little more complicated than just to put the .rpm's files into AL...
I think I missed some dependencies; may someone confirm this ?

Need Lacie LightScribe labeler software for Mac

I just purchased a Lacie LightScribe DVDRW with USB 2.0, and the lame people at Lacie decided to not give me a copy of their Lacie lightscribe software (after I kindly asked them) even though it would (according to them) work perfectly well with my USB 2.0 drive. For some unexplained reason, they would only bundle the software with the Firewire version of the drive.
So anyway, I'm wondering if anyone can point me to some place, or can "give me" a copy of the software.
I hate to purchase another Lacie drive just to get this software... which is kind of what the Lacie support rep hinted me to do ......

Yi,
Of course the drive works with the Mac.
However, continue down the page, and you will see:
"Mac software not included"
It is less expensive, as it does not include the licensed Mac software. Some people already have the software.
So, you may ask, how can I use the drive with my Mac then?
- the drive will work for burning data CDs and DVDs on the Mac after installing the Disc Burning Profile for 10.3.x and 10.4.x; drive will work with itunes, iPhoto, and Finder to burn discs. This profile is a free download at our website. It will NOT provide LightScribe labeling capability.
I am sorry that this was not clear to you; I still recommend that you exchange the drive for a model compatible with your computer, or return for a refund.

Oracle for Linux - released?!?

Yeah, I'm aware this might seem a bit foolish to ask, but
when I call Oracle in Denmark (which seems natural to me, as
I live there :) I am told that Oracle 8 for Linux isn't released
yet. So what's the deep truth about this?
/jan
null

1) Someone had suggested that the recent webcast with Larry Ellison would be about Database 12c, but that didn't make sense because the other presenter in the webcast was the head of SPARC.
2) Amazon is taking orders for a book called Pro Oracle Database 12c Administration that is supposed to be published on April 17th.
3) Apress Books has two titles announced for mid-May.
I would assume that those books cannot be published before the product is released, so those dates might provide some indication.

Oracle8i for Linux Release announcement

I received a copy of this Oracle marketing announcement today:
The Linux tidal wave continues and Oracle is right at the
forefront. We have
been experiencing tremendous demand on Linux since Oracle8 was
announced for
that platform last October. Over 50,000 developers have
downloaded Oracle8
for Linux from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) since March, with
the first
20,000 coming in just the first 10 days! We now have over 800
paying
customers with over half the orders coming from enterprise
accounts and most
of the remainder orders from mid-sized businesses.
This week Oracle is announcing the shipping of Oracle8i for
Linux. Already,
20,000 developers have registered for early access. With new
internet
technologies like Java and XML built right into Oracle8i for
Linux, this
release promises to be the hottest yet.
Read on for more information about:
- What are we announcing?
- What are the key messages?
- What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
- Why does Oracle care about Linux?
- Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
- Which products are available on Linux?
- Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort and what are we
doing?
- Where to find more information about Oracle on Linux?
What are we announcing?
Oracle is announcing today that it has been receiving extremely
strong demand
for its Linux based products over the past quarter and is also
shipping
Oracle8i for Linux to manufacturing.
What are the key messages?
Linux represents the ultimate commodity operating system -- its
fast, reliable
and almost free! Businesses can now spend their time focusing on
the higher
value software they buy to run their businesses (such as
databases and applications).
With over 800 customers paying for Oracle on Linux, Linux is
progressing from
its roots as a student and developer operating system to a viable
deployment
environment in large business.
Oracle has the best database on Linux. With over 50,000 people
using Oracle8
and over 20,000 people registered through Oracle Technology
Network (OTN) for
Oracle8i, Oracle is the overwhelming choice for the Linux
operating system.
What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
Pricing of Oracle8i on Linux follows the standard Oracle price
list (see
http://appsweb.us.oracle.com/amapp/). Linux may be a freeware
operating
system, but Oracle on Linux is not free. Oracle does offer
developer licenses
through Oracle Technology Network (OTN) which allows developers
to use Oracle
software for non-commercial use.
Why does Oracle care about Linux?
Linux is hot! It is rapidly becoming the preferred platform for
small ISP's
and is used extensively by many of the internet's largest portal
sites. For
Oracle, Linux is the fastest growing operating system, growing at
three times
that of WindowsNT. Oracle on Linux presents customers a viable
low-cost, yet
highly stable alternative to WindowsNT. That said, with 46% of
the NT market,
Oracle is also the best selling database on NT!
Oracle now has over 800 customers on Linux. This statistic alone
strongly
contradicts the common perception that Linux is solely used by
students and
developers. Linux has already established a foothold in many
Fortune 100
companies and although deployments are still currently small
compared to NT
and Solaris, they are accelerating rapidly.
Which products are available on Linux?
Currently available on Linux are:
- Oracle8.0.5 Standard and Enterprise Edition
- Oracle8i Release 8.1.5
- Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 (40 Bit)
- Oracle Application Server 3.0.2 (40 Bit)
- Oracle WebDB 2.0.5.6.1
Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
Redhat Software - Linux distributors. Oracle has also made an
equity
investment in RedHat. (http://www.redhat.com)
Caldera System - Linux distributors. Novell spin-off, focus
primarily on
enterprise customers. (http://www.caldera.com)
Turbolinux - Linux distributor. Has a mostly Asia presence.
(http://www.turbolinux.com)
VA Linux Systems - Hardware vendor, making Linux systems.
(http://www.linux.com)
Linuxcare - Linux support provider. (http://www.linuxcare.com)
Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort?
There are two teams within Oracle working closely to drive the
Oracle strategy
and goals on Linux: Internet Platform Marketing and the Linux SBU
(Strategic
Business Unit).

Press Release
ORACLE CAPITALIZES ON ENTERPRISE DEMAND FOR LINUX OFFERINGS WITH
ANNOUNCEMENT
OF ORACLE8i ON LINUX
Early Adopters Programs Draws Nearly 20,000 Developers
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 19, 1999--Oracle Corporation, the
number one
choice for e-business, today announced dramatic growth and demand
for Oracle
on Linux with strong adoption in both enterprise and general
business markets.
Oracle also announced the general availability of Oracle8i on
Linux, after a
successful early adopter's program.
Since Oracle Corp. announced Oracle8 on Linux, there have been
over 50,000
downloads from Oracle Technology Network
(http://technet.oracle.com/ ). Now,
after the announcement of Oracle8i, there have been nearly 20,000
registrants
for early access in the first few weeks. Outside the development
community,
Oracle has also seen overwhelming customer adoption with an
excess of 800
paying customers today -- over half of these orders from
enterprise accounts
and the remainder from small to mid-sized businesses and
organizations.
"Until the availability of Oracle database on Linux, we either
had to rely on
NT or use one of the shareware database servers available for
Linux," says
Jonathan August, President and CEO of Internection, Inc., a
company providing
customized Internet services solutions to businesses, including
web hosting
and e-commerce solutions. "Neither solution provided us the
security,
performance, manageability or reliability required by our
customers. Oracle
brings enterprise credibility and robustness to our products. As
a result,
we've gained access to customers ranging from small businesses to
Fortune 100
enterprises like Prudential and Pfizer. Our total revenue since
the addition
of Oracle on Linux has increased by 250%."
"Oracle on Linux combines enterprise level reliability,
scalability and
performance with a free, robust and well-supported operating
system," says
Nick Marden, technical director of e-commerce, Xoom.com, and
e-commerce
service provider. "It enables Xoom.com to better understand our
members'
needs and respond to them quickly. Oracle on Linux represents an
extraordinary value and it gets the job done."
"Oracle is committed to bringing superior technology to the Linux
community,"
says Chuck Rozwat, senior vice president of Server Technologies
at Oracle.
"Oracle8i on Linux comes with both Java and XML built right in.
Together they
offer the most cost-effective way to deploy scalable Internet
applications."
Oracle8i is the first and only database specifically designed for
the
Internet. Oracle8i extends Oracle's long-standing technology
leadership in
the areas of data management, transaction processing and data
warehousing to
the new medium of the Internet. Oracle8i is the centerpiece of
Oracle's
Internet Platform, which also includes Oracle Application Server
and Oracle's
Internet development tools.
Oracle Corporation is the world's leading supplier of software
for information
management, and the world's second largest software company.
With annual
revenues of more than $8.8 billion, the company offers its
database,
application server, tools and application products, along with
related
consulting, education and support services, in more than 145
countries around
the world.

Yeah, I got a couple of those....but if you go to Oracle, there
is nothing about it, and nothing new on the OTN download...

New Skype for Linux released, version 4.3 | Edit: Now in Repo's

A New Skype has been released for Linux. Not quite yet in our repo's as of this writing. Skype 4.3 is now in the official repo's.
One of the larger changes is that ALSA is no longer supported and users are instead directed to use Pulse Audio. I already use Pulse, but I can imagine there will be some people unimpressed with this new requirement.
Unfortunately when it comes to network messaging programs the protocol is what rules. All my friends use the Skype protocol so I also have to use it to communicate with them. As far as I'm aware there is no full-featured replacement for the Skype protocol on Linux that also does audio and video.
What do you think?
Note: I posted in Multimedia, if there is a better place for this please feel free to move it. Perhaps networking, but Skype is a multimedia/network application.

There is one more option to consider, though, one that I find fascinating: WebRTC. WebRTC is native voice and video chat in a web browser. Both Firefox and Chrome have supported it for some time now, so if you and your friend use one of those web browsers then you don't need to install any special software. Just send them a link to a web page and start using it.
Disclaimer: I tried it about a year ago. Firefox was able to display my webcam video but I never successfully established a connection with my friend. I should try it out again...
I tried it out a few weeks ago on a couple of computers running Arch, and managed to get it working fine between all combinations of Chromium and Firefox (all up to date, mind). I used Talky and it certainly made WebRTC easy. I just need to convince members of the family to stuff Skype now!
Thanks so much for the Talky suggestion.
I tried to convince people to use Jitsi and register for their Jabber service, but unfortunately a lot are content with using Skype.

In the past, I used LaCie Silverlining hard drive software on other makers' hard drives, with no ill effect.
The only thing that might cause you a problem (?) would be incompatibilities in the firmware of another makers drive.
G4AGP(450)Sawtooth, 2ghz PowerLogix, 1.62gbRAM, 120gb+160gb HD, ATI Radeon 9800 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Pioneer DVR-109, LaCie 160gb, 23"Cinema Display, Ratoc USB2.0, Nikon Coolscan

Prey Demo for Linux released!

Check out http://icculus.org/prey/ for the demo.
Works very smooth on my system AND looks very nice!
Its about some Native Americans getting kidnapped by Aliens from their Reservation.
The game is all about crazy gravity/physics and not a dumb shooter.
EDIT: if you're on arch64&&nvidia, make sure you have lib32-nvidia-utils installed
EDIT2: If you're looking for custom resolutions (you cant propperly choose 16:10 resolutions oO,) create a autoexec.cfg in the base dir with the following:
seta r_customHeight "1050"
seta r_customWidth "1680"
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_aspectRatio "2"

Downloads:
LightScribe Host Software v1.4.113.1 for Linux

UPDATE: There is a package request already. I didn't notice it when posted, should I remove this topic?

Use rpmextract to extract the files from the rpm. Then, it's just a question of installing the files in the correct place (in $startdir/pkg), i.e. binaries in /usr/bin, libraries in /usr/lib, etc.

Formatting 160gb LACIE hard drive for iBook

I have just bought an external hard drive and did a back-up without formatting. None of my photos went over and I realised I had not formatted the hard drive. How should I do this - no clear instructions available. Thanks

Disk Utility can be used to format the drive (as Mac OS Extended / HFS+) as well as to if desired partition the drive into multiple logical volumes (e.g., one partition for a clone of the hard drive, a second partition for a redunant backup of iTunes and/or iPhoto Library folders).
LaCie drives labeled for Macs are already formatted as HFS+ / Mac OS Extended. A 160 GB Windows drive would be formatted NTFS which a Mac would be able to read but not write to. Did you backup only the photos? If nothing went onto the HD, it muight be NTFS. If non-photo files went over, it's lilely the drive is HFS+ and the problem is how you attempted to do the backup. What program(s) did you use to bakup the files? Did you doa Finder drag-and-copy, did you use SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner or another third-party application, or did you use iPhoto to backup the pictures?

Why wont Lightscribe Labeler find my drive so I can print a label on theDVD

I can't believe it but I nearly at the end of making my first DVD. Now I have one hang up that should be seemingly easy. I have a Lacie DVD burner with Lightscribe and Lightscribe DVD discs. I burn the movie fine but now I want to put a Label on the DVD. I went to the Lacie Lightscribe Labeler - picked the photo wanted as background - selected print - but now it doesn't find a drive even though I hear the player revv up - noting comes up on the list and thus I can't print - what's up?

I'm having the same trouble. I have recently changed computers. I now have an iMac. previously I had an eMac and the lightscriber burner was hooked up to that and worked fine. Now on the imac it just comes up that it can't find the device. I have checked connections, installations.... If someone has the answer it would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks
!!

Would like guidance on printing dvd labels using LaCie LightScribe Disc Lab

Hello:
I would really like to create some Christmas CD's for friends & family and my research indicates that there is a product called LaCie LightScribe Disc Label software that allows my MacBook's dvd burner the capabiity to burn a professional looking label on each disc--can anyone educate me on this process along with recommendations on whether this is the way to go---I am really stumped and don't want to glue on labels or use a black felt pen for these gifts.
Thanks,
Connie

Lightscribe drives are available from a number of vendors and will fit into any compatible external case. Putting one into the internal case of anything other than a Mac Pro is not for the faint of heart. Besides the LaCie software, DiscLabel from Smile Software will burn labels, and there is a basic labeler from http://lightscribe.org/, where you can find out more information about the process. It is fairly slow, taking several minutes to make a complicated label. It is fine for friends and family, but it will be too slow for a big run of disks, particularly since you have to insert the discs upside down into the drive one by one, waiting for it to complete one before you can label the next.

How to install downloaded Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release 2 for linux

Hi folks,
I downloaded d2k6irelease2.tar (Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release
2 for linux) from
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/htdocs/linuxsoft.html
I untar the file on my linux machine however the extracted files don't
seem to contain any installing program. I didn't find products.jar in the
files and there are no script to install the software. I read the attached
doc, however it only assumes that the installation is from CD-ROM. The doc
doesn't help anything for this downloaded software. I wonder if anyone
here know how to install it. Thank you so much.
Best regards,
Kai Huang

There should be a text based installer in the /orainst sub-
directory
In that directory, just run the script:
./orainst
The installer seems to require libXm.a, which wasn't included in
my RH 7.1 installation, so I had to install the motif-
development libraries before the full install would complete
successfully.
