hi pedro, thanks for taking time to offer help. this bug affects me too. the error is very easy to reproduce.
I have an i386 arch machine with 256MB ram, 1.6GHz processor, 2x 40GB HDD the 2nd HDD is ntfs used for data storage (no apps or o/s whether windoze or otherwise) that drive is nearly full and has reasonably well organised files, so of course very deeply nested directories. when I create a data project in brasero, and add some of the directories with more than 6 levels of nesting into the data project, I get a message box with this heading and detail : Heading: Do you really want to add "OldMail" to the selection? Detail: The children of this directory will have 6 parent directories. This is a violation of the ISO9660 standard which only allows 6. Brasero can create an image of such a file hierarchy and burn it; but the media may not be readable on all operating systems. NOTE: such a file hierarchy is known to work on linux. The message dialogue offers buttons "add" and "dont add" This problem arises when you choose add. (There are other problems as well, but I will raise separate bugs for the different problems that happen) the first time I tried to burn a project like this, the creation of the image failed. I have less than 4gb space on /tmp brasero seems to use /tmp for all but disc copy, and for all but disc copy, it doesnt offer a choice of location for the disc image being generated. That may be a factor, but that isnt what the messages suggest in the app log file. I will attach my log file and also a screen shot of the dialogue warning about more than 6 levels. it seems that the handshake between BraseroGrowisofs and genisoimage is treating the message from the latter as fatal, despite the data project file select dialogue allowing the add. The main messages of interest are near the end and are copied below for quick reference : BraseroGrowisofs called brasero_job_get_fd_out BraseroGrowisofs stdout: Executing 'genisoimage -r -input-charset utf8 -graft-points -path-list /tmp/brasero_tmp_DJHVNU -exclude-list /tmp/brasero_tmp_4HMEOU -print-size | builtin_dd of=/dev/scd0 obs=32k seek=0' BraseroGrowisofs called brasero_job_set_dangerous BraseroGrowisofs stderr: genisoimage: Directories too deep for '/media/disk/Data/User/Sheena/WYLIE/WYLIE/close up/sitting/looking' (7) max is 6. BraseroGrowisofs stdout: HUP BraseroGrowisofs stderr: HUP BraseroGrowisofs process finished with status 5 BraseroGrowisofs called brasero_job_error the data is being selected from the 2nd hard drive mounted as /media/disk you should be able to reproduce the error by creating an ntfs partition, creating a nest of subdirectories to 7 levels and try either burning a dvd or at least running and tracing brasero to the point it returns from invoking genisoimage as above. ** Attachment added: "screen image of selection message for directory with subdirectories nested to beyond 7 levels" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21506729/brasero-data-dvd-file-select-error001.png -- Brasero Writing to DVD error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313635 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
