[Bug 878993] Re: When I try to extract file by just drag and drop by mouse, everything freezes

[Bug 878993] Re: When I try to extract file by just drag and drop by mouse, everything freezes
I also confirm this bug. In lubuntu 11.10 my workaround to "fix" it was to install nautilus. Then I could drag files from an archive (opened with file-roller) to a nautilus window. But it still crashed, if I dragged the file to the lubuntu desktop (which means pcmanfm, right?). So the reason for the bug seams to be related to nautilus dependencies. Maybe this information is helpful. And this bug is still present in the latest daily build of Lubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin (as of Feb 17th 2012) tested as live CD in virtualbox. -- 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/878993 Title: When I try to extract file by just drag and drop by mouse, everything freezes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/878993/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I tried baltasarq's solution and compiled file-roller 3.3.3 from source as well, but it didn't solve the problem for me.

[Bug 878993] Re: When I try to extract file by just drag and drop by mouse, everything freezes
I decided to experiment a little, since this error is annoying. I downloaded the last version of file-roller, 3.3.2, in source code form, unzipped it and build it. $ cd file-roller-3.3.2 $ ./configure $ make Then I copied the executables in src to the following locations: $ cd src $ sudo cp file-roller /usr/bin $ sudo cp file-roller-server /usr/lib/file-roller/ And now everything works as a charm. Drag & Drop is fully functional again. I know I should not install binaries this way, though this error is so annyoing, and has been unattended for so long as well, that I think that yes, it is justified. So, the fix to the problem is to pack and the distribute the last file- roller. -- 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/878993 Title: When I try to extract file by just drag and drop by mouse, everything freezes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/878993/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Ok, just for grins, I loaded up Firefox, clicked on http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/file-roller/file- roller_3.2.1.orig.tar.bz2 and let it open in file-roller.

I confirm this bug, which is probably a duplicate of bug #884503. This bug is extremely annoying, since not only file-roller gets frozen, but the entire desktop. The only workaround that I found was to press alt-f1 in order to get tty1, login, type "ps aux | grep file-roller" and kill the process (kill -9 pid_of_file_roller).
