File-Roler in Xfce Broken after Recent Updates

mamamia88 · 2012-10-31 15:02:15

After updating this morning file-roller doesn't work with thunar plugin. Anyone with similar problem?

If you explain what the problem actually is and supply the error message if any plus any logs etc. someone may be able to offer assistance.

I can confirm, to some extent as there isn't much additional info, what the OP reports, checked both in XFCE and Openbox.

In my case the option 'Extract here' does not work as it should whereas 'Open with...' and 'Extract in...' work correctly.

No error log anywhere as far as I can tell.

Seems to work for me with .tar.gz. Does it make a difference what kind of archive it is?

Same here. Posting to double confirm as well as mark my place so I can check back later for some smart user to come in with a fix

@weirddan455, you know you can subscribe to a thread/topic whether or not you post in it?

Same here with thunar/file-roller in Openbox: "Extract here" doesn't work anymore. And no, AaronBP, not with .tar.gz either.
In a terminal "file-roller --ecxtract-here blabla.tar.gz" works without problems, also "Extract to" and "Create archive" from the menu.
Just the "Extract here" entry (which I use very often) doesn't work anymore.

Installed xarchiver from the aur works perfectly.

log as root , go to "/usr/lib/xfce4/thunar-archive-plugin/" open "file-roller.tap" with text editor

Go to this section

extract-here)
exec file-roller "--extract-to=$(pwd)" --extract-here --force "$@"
;;

It has to be

extract-here)
exec file-roller "--extract-here=$(pwd)" --extract-here --force "$@"
;;

It worked for me

Thank you archrambo, confirm that those instructions work for me.

thanks for the heads up.

Entering the command

file-roller "--extract-to=$(pwd)" --extract-here --force $archivename

directly into the terminal works for me as well, so I'm not sure where the problem is coming from for you guys...

Thanks for the fix, it works perfectly now

Thunar 1.4.0
file-roller 3.6.1.1

Bug is in file-roller which crashes when the --extract-to option is used.

I added a patch in file-roller 3.6.2-2 and 'Extract Here' should once again work.
