Customer Review: worthless under Linux---UPDATE! Now it works fine!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought the drive bare from a local computer store to put in a new computer running Ubuntu 9.10. Installed easily, reads discs fine--but fails to write. Brasero acts like it writes it and finishes in mere seconds, writing just enough to create a coaster. k3b gives an error message and quits.
Contacted a very friendly LG support person in live chat, who told me that they didn't support Linux. I cheerfully told him I'd avoid all LG products in the future and warn anyone else using Linux against them, and thanked him for his time.
UPDATE! This past September a friend fried his computer and I offered to build a new one for him. I still had this DVD sitting around and figured what the heck, I'll try it. Worked like a charm. Something has changed such that it now works fine under Ubuntu, and hence probably other versions of Linux as well. (I won't attribute a bug to one side or the other--to do that legitimately would require study of pertinent drivers and standards.)
