Ubuntu

file-roller fails

Asked by Guy Andrews

file-roller adds user gja directories fine. However, for user lin it gets well into the adding of files when it fails saying it cannot find a file in "/home/lin/.config/dconf/user.13FBIZ". I suspect this might be a temporary file it is building, Every time I try it the error is the same except the ending after the last dot in the file name changes. This may be a bug or suggest a flaw in the data it is adding.

I am not following symbolic links and am creating a tar.gz type of archive.
What do you suggest?

If you log in as guest is it OK?
If you install unp you can extract any file with one command.

The system operates correctly for all users, even the account that is supposed to be backed up. Also if I look in the specified directory I do not see the file for which it is looking. I will try a tar equivalent and see that will work.

Directly using tar works fine. Tar must use a pipe to connect to a compressor but does not run into the name problem file-roller does. You may want to consider this a bug.

If you consider it a bug then please report it. You can run:

ubuntu-bug file-roller

To start the process.

Can you help with this problem?
