After dragging a bunch of files to nautilus-cd-burner and clicking 'write to disc', it pops up a dialog "Disable Microsoft Windows compatiblity? - Some files don't have a suitable name for a Windows-compatible CD. Do you want to continue with Windows compatibility disabled?" On clicking OK it just hangs for a long time until I kill it. On clicking Cancel the application crashes and saves a nautilus-cd-burner-bugreport.txt file (attached) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Burn some files with invalid file names (non utf8 charatecers) 2.Click 'Write to Disc' 3.Click OK to hang, or Cancel to crash Actual Results: On clicking cancel, Gnome prompted me t save a bugreport txt file Expected Results: burned the CD without windows compatibility or renamed the files to something valid. $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.2-r9 (default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 16:50:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.31 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.tera-byte.com/ http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ http://gentoo.kems.net " MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X acpi alsa berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth branding cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dvd dvdr eds emboss encode esd fam ffmpeg firefox fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk hal howl iconv isdnlog jpeg ldap libg++ mad midi mikmod mmx mmxext mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl oss pam pcre perl png ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis win32codecs x86 xml xorg xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Created attachment 111932 [details] the bugreport file saved by Gnome when nautilus-cd-burned crashes
According to upstream, a similar problem is fixed in 2.17.x versions. Could you try installing the latest version of nautilus-cd-burner (you shouldn't need to upgrade anything else) from the overlay? http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gnome/wiki
I emerged nautilus-cd-burner-2.17.8 from the gnome-experimental overlay, and can confirm that this bug is fixed in that version. I got two warning dialogs, the first informing that some filenames are invalid, and the second saying that they would be converted to a non-Windows compatible format. Thanks.
I just observed another problem. While burning another set of files with weird characters in the filenames, nautilus-cd-burner proceed to the 'Writing files to CD - creating disk image' dialog box, and then crashed. This message showed up at the terminal: yahya@badr ~ $ nautilus-cd-burner ** (nautilus-cd-burner:11461): WARNING **: Unable to prepare tracks for burning I was trying to burn a CD from these files: http://ibrahim.buraaq.net/Ali%20alTimimi/cd3/ I narrowed it down to these 3: http://ibrahim.buraaq.net/Ali%20alTimimi/cd3/The%20Methodology%20of%20Ahlus-Sunnah/
This should be fixed by now but i advise you to use other burning apps. Anything is better than n-c-b. Please try if it's fixed if not i will open a bug upstream.
