Sometimes you can’t burn your data on cd or dvd cause a boring error about “Directories too deep”.

Executing 'genisoimage -gui -V DVD_31 -A GnomeBaker -p acido -iso-level 3 -l -r -hide-rr-moved -graft-points --path-list /tmp/GnomeBaker-acido/gnomebaker-E8P02T | builtin_dd of=/dev/hda obs=32k seek=0'
I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)
genisoimage: Directories too deep for '0205/wordpress-it_IT-2.1.3/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/autosave/langs' (7) max is 6.
:- ( write failed: Input/output error

I haven’t find yet a way to solve it on GUI but surfing on forums i’ve find a work-around.

From shell, like normal user, start gnomebaker with this command :

gnomebaker --trace-on

Now make your compilation and try to do Burn: you see the same error! This step is necessary because GnomeBaker make a temporary image of cd/dvd.

After the ErrorPopup come back at shell, and check the output: move up until find the command that gnomebaker use to try to burn

growisofs -Z /dev/hda -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -dvd-compat -gui -V DVD_31 -A GnomeBaker -p acido -iso-level 3 -l -r -hide-rr-moved -graft-points --path-list /tmp/GnomeBaker-acido/gnomebaker-E8P02T

Copy and Paste it on other term and add after growisofs the -D option like this:

growisofs -D -Z /dev/hda -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -dvd-compat -gui -V DVD_31 -A GnomeBaker -p acido -iso-level 3 -l -r -hide-rr-moved -graft-points --path-list /tmp/GnomeBaker-acido/gnomebaker-E8P02T

Press enter and the burn start! Don’t close gnomebaker until burning is finished!
