The problem is not entirely that files are not created in /tmp, but rather that nothing cleans them up in the event of a crashed or killed process. I also see these files in the current directory as well as tmp and .cache
As these directories are prefixed with a dot, less technical users will probably not see them as the default in the file manager is to hide them. I found over 2.5GB of these files on my system, which means they are also taking up backup space and resources, too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245716 Title: file-roller puts temporary files in the home dir instead of /tmp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/file-roller/+bug/245716/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
