SilentDisnalioth, lol yes05:20
harrynalioth: lightscribe?05:20
borgQwertyM, -_-05:20
naliothwho found the RPM for it?05:20
harrynalioth: lightscribe: http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/linux/index.aspx?id=81405:21
SilentDisnalioth, i just did a google search for harry, and advised on one way to use the .rpm file (with alien)05:22
harrynalioth: to install lightscribe?05:22
naliothlet me look05:22
naliothone should always use source code or .deb files if possible05:22
naliothusing rpms or .tgz (slackware package files) can lead to system instability05:23
harrySilentDis: is alien an application?05:23
harrySilentDis: is alien an application? that i have to install first?05:23
nalioth!alien05:23
ubotuRPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)05:23
harrynalioth: so its still not good to install alien, am i right?05:24
naliothalien is ok05:25
naliothit is a native Ubuntu package05:25
harrynalioth: how come you're so sure about that?05:25
naliothi'm a big contributor to Ubuntu :)05:26

harrynalioth: ah I see, so you mean to say "one of the developers"05:26
naliothalien not only works for RPMs, it works for other formats, too05:27
naliothnone of which should be used, if you have a choice05:27
harrynalioth: so i have to sudo apt-get install alien05:27
naliothi do not like proprietary software (which lightscribe is) but it seems there is no other choice but to use the RPM05:27
naliothyes, that will install alien05:28
SilentDisharry:  i've read up on it, they posted a bunch of info from their e-mails back and forth with the support folks... it looks like, at this moment, there's support for Lightscribe in Dapper, but not in Edgy.  in edgy, the tools cause segfaults.05:28
SilentDisnalioth:  LaCie was the last one working on it, from the looks of things.05:28
harrySilentDis: thats helpful, are they working on it for edgy? cause i'm using edgy05:28
naliothyes, they are working on it for edgy.05:29
SilentDisharry:  from what I can tell, yes.05:29
SilentDisi have to get going, take care all :)05:30
harrynalioth: well thanks a lot, i'll just be waiting for its release05:31
naliothin some cases, if you HAVE to have something that is only available as an RPM or other format, you would use alien05:32
naliothi always look for a source package if one is available05:32
