Confirming bug in Oneric (11.10) (x64) for cyrillic (Win 1251) filenames. Reinstallation of rar as stated in post #46 by Artem fixes the issues.
In terminal: sudo apt-get remove rar sudo apt-get remove --purge unrar sudo apt-get install unrar -- 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/177929 Title: Should autodetect filename character encoding in zip files Status in File Roller: Confirmed Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “xarchiver” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: file-roller Many compressed file such as zip don't specify filename encoding. But file-roller read every file as UTF-8, so it sometimes makes encoding problem. I think may be, you could think that it's not a big problem or it's not a bug or we don't need those feature. If you deal with only English it's not a problem at all. But it's a big problem for East Asian people such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Because zip file is still popular. And many people compress zip file in Windows, and share the zip files. Windows don't use UTF-8. Many CJK people want to uncompress these zip files. There are some way to solve this problem (by another software). But all are too complex to Ubuntu newbies. I wish file-roller support encoding select function.
