"Error setting owner: Operation not permitted" when extracting Eclipse in saucy

[Marc-Andre Laperle]

Impact: some archives can't we uncompressed

Test case:
1. Download this tar.gz:

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/juno/SR2/eclipse-cpp-juno-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

2. Open it with Archive Manager
3. Try to extract to a folder, error occurs. "Error setting owner: Operation not permitted".

Regression potentials:
Check that uncompressing archives from file-roller works as it should.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

I added the link to the gnome bugilla
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709932

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

thanks

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

The bug is fixed upstream now in master branch. Should the fix be backported as a patch?

[Jonantan (jonantansousa)]

i have the same problem, how to fix it?

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

The fix is in gnome 3.10.1 but it has not made its way into Ubuntu yet. You can extract the archive from the command line, for example:

tar zxf eclipse-cpp-juno-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

[Jonantan (jonantansousa)]

Thank you Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)! Works! =)

[Mel C (melc)]

not only eclipse.tar.gz lots of tar.gz's are affected.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

@Gregor: could you avoid changing bug settings to a wrong status? the fix is not released in Ubuntu yet

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

The status says Fix Committed but I don't see it in any branch. Is it still the wrong status? ;)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

It's in the packaging vcs:
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/file-roller/ubuntu

It's also in the upload queue:

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

I didn't know about this other page. Thank you for your help!

I am also getting this same problem with alot of tar.gz archives, hopefully this gets fixed soon

[Clay Ferguson (wclayf)]

Mark-Andre, even when you unzip using command line 'tar' the eclipse distro is corrupted. When you run eclipse the main menu of the eclipse app is unable to show any content. When you click a menu item, the menu doesn't appear. The eclipse menu 'bar' shows up but is totally unusable. The other indication of a corruption is that the splashscreen has a bad appearance (hard to explain) but definiately indicates something has gone wrong with eclipse. This 'could' possibly be an eclipse bug, but at this point i'm willing to blame it on the ubuntu unzipping code.

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

Clay, I believe those are all separate bugs from this one. In fact, I see those problems with an Eclipse extracted prior to upgrading so Saucy.
For the menu bug and workaround, see

I followed the testcase and the proposed package fixed the bug for me.

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

I tested a few Eclipse tars and others including the test case and it fixed it for me.
