As I tested the file in comment 3 on Ubuntu 12.04, this file should have encoding CP437.
$ unar -e cp437 Prueba\ con\ acentos\ y\ espacios.zip #Works perfectly (You can install "unar" by "sudo apt-get install unar") The result of unzip is a bit strange as it ask for password for one file, is this correct? Anyway, the big picture is that: * ZIP filename encoding is tricky * unzip has broken UTF-8 filename support and limited support of encoding conversion after a patch. * File Roller is just a frontend of tools like unzip, if you install p7zip it will invoke p7zip instead, which can result in working UTF-8 ZIP filename support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495880 Title: Extracting a file with german "Umlaut" in the filename doesn't work Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: file-roller I have received a zip containing a file with a german "Umlaut" in the filename.
