I have not observed File Roller coming back to life, but perhaps I am just impatient. Most recent (reproducible) incident...
I downloaded this archive: http://downloads.mozdev.org/flashblock/flashblock-1.5.7.1.xpi Found flashblock.jar in the archive and dragged / dropped it into Nautilus. This file is about 80 kb. File roller hanged and would not close. It was eventually forced to exit, which I assumed did the trick. Hours later, my system is firing its fans off continually. Curious (especially given that CPU was running at the minimum 36% frequency), I opened System Monitor. By this time, file-roller was consuming 1.1 GB of memory and was still labelled as a regular sleeping process. mv was listed as a child process; its status was Zombie. Sorry, I killed the thing in a hurry so didn't collect any more detail, but the failure should be easily recreated. This was generated with a small, uncomplicated archive extracting a single file. I have experienced it with every archive I have used so far. Like the reporter, I do not have a problem extracting the file through the application's menus; only through dnd. This did NOT happen with File Roller in Intrepid. (For the time being, a nice workaround is to use the archive mounter). -- file-roller hangs a while when extracting item via drag and drop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330745 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
