Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

Pedro, simply without running valgrind, I found a strange thing in the
crash report:
ProcCmdline: file-roller --default-dir=file:///home/username --add
file:///home/username/Canzoniere%202009.doc

my home is /home/yelo3, not /home/username..

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

Anyway executing it with the correct path and compressing to ZIP will always cause the same results, so I run valgrind.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589920

[Krzysztof Klinikowski (kkszysiu)]

It occurs when you trying to create ZIP archive too. Im not sure why. I have all required libraries etc.

[Daniel de Souza Telles (danielsouza)]

File roller can't compress anything, but it can read anything that it supports through the libraries. Karmic and Jaunty bugs.

[Niels Egberts (nielsegberts)]

I ran into this with Karmic trying to .zip a folder without spaces.

[Janne Hyötylä (janne-hyotyla)]

Same here, compressing some files without spaces to .zip crashes reproducibly. The same files as .tar.gz works normally.

[Alvin Thompson (alvint-deactivatedaccount)]

ditto #10 and #11

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

this has been fixed upstream now, thanks for reporting.

[Sergey Sedov (serg-sedov)]

I have same problem

karmic 9.10 with latest updates

[Angel Guzman Maeso (shakaran)]

When this bug will be released on Karmic?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

probably next week, and please do not re, re, confirm the issue, we know is there. If there's another new release of file-roller and you're still getting the issue then please say it, otherwise please don't, it only generate bug mail noise.

[xtknight (xt-knight)]

I think they're confused about this: status: Triaged → Fix Committed

However, Fix Committed means it was updated in the upstream source code. Only once it is "Fix Released" will it be in Ubuntu. That's important to understand.

[PaulW (paulw)]

Having this issue, but slightly different...

Right-click a folder, choose Compress, and it crashes out when you hit continue.

9.10 Karmic here, updated about 3 hours ago...

[Sergey Sedov (serg-sedov)]

The problem still remains

After latest update I can compress my files with ".tar.gz", but with other formats (zip, etc) it crashes

[Matthew Woerly (nattgew)]

Getting this today when trying to make a .zip... what version can we expect the fix in?

[Alex Ivasyuv (industral)]

Confirm, issue still exist. BTW, why status is "Fix Committed"?

[Reiner Jung (prefec2)]

Definitely this problem still exists.

[zordsdavini (zordsdavini)]

problem still exist. created zip archive from directory. no spaces in name. tar.bz2 OK

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

changing back to fix commited which means the bug has been fixed in GNOME git not in ubuntu yet

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Some news (bad ones though), the bug is not fixed with that commit[1] (which is already on file-roller 2.27.92 available on Ubuntu), just tested it and it crashes anyways, will re open the upstream bug. Thanks all.

[Boblemur (boblemur)]

for me File-roller still crash's trying to make a zip file with no spaces in any filenames.

[Sergey Sedov (serg-sedov)]

With file-roller 2.28.0 I can compress my files with .zip format, but the files in .zip archive damaged

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

this is now fixed with file-roller 2.28.0-0ubuntu1 ; Sergei you might want to open a new bug for that error since it's not the same problem we describe here. thanks.
