Can you tell us a little about your setup - version of openSUSE, what
specific software you installed, etc - that will help someone who can
help you identify what steps you need to take next.

I don’t think it builds a menu entry (no .desktop file). I’ve always just started it from a terminal; found it somewhere in /opt.

You could always make make a desktop entry for it manually.

Aha! Here it is:

/opt/lightscribeApplications/SimpleLabeler/SimpleLabeler

Edit: Or just paste that into Alt+F2

I use Lacie4L on my systems, works very reliably.

I built this file, “LaCie4L.desktop”, to provide a GUI interface in my desktop folder (KDE)

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=LaCie Lightscribe Linux
Type=Application
GenericName=DVD Label Making Program
Comment=Create professional labels on your DVDs.
Exec=4L-gui
Icon=/home/carl/icons/LightScribeIconsm.png
Terminal=false
Categories=Application;AudioVideo;DiscBurning;Recorder;

I made a new icon, theirs was rather dull

Opensuse 12.1-kde
The lacie host software and lacie labeler.

I found it labeled as “4L” in package manager. No wonder I couldn’t find it. I have a short cut now. How do I set the icon?

Open the terminal and enter 4L-gui
