krusader fails to enter .zip archive with "Error: krarc is disabled"

[Martin Vysny]

I tried to look into the problem and read the information at http://www.krusader.org/documentation/faq_usage.html#id2672747
The file kio_krarc.la seems to be missing - perhaps this could cause the problem? Thank you :)

UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-10-03 (7 days ago)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[themroc (rauchweihe)]

Same here in Kubuntu 12.10 x64 after upgrade from 12.04 on all off my PCs.

[martin suc (martin-suc)]

problem is solved in krusader beta3 .
I have read on some forum that it has been intentionally commented within compilation because there has been bug in it within open the zip file.

[themroc (rauchweihe)]

I use this package, until an update is available on the official sources:

https://launchpad.net/~ladislav.bonita/+archive/precise-backports/+packages

woks in quantal (12.10) too.

[Ondřej Buriánek (zerem)]

Workaround for me was installing krusader package from precise http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/krusader/download and forcing this version

[zigi (ziegleka)]

Please release the latest krusader-2.4.0-beta3.tar.bz2 version.

[Martin Vysny (vyzivus)]

This bug also applies to a fully upgraded 13.04. Please upgrade krusader.

[WoodyEckelzone (bcr497)]

Now Nautilus is completely borked in 13.04 we need a decent two pane file-manager for Ubuntu, but this bug is nasty.
Please update

Made my own deb from 2.4.0.beta3 which solved the `krarc` problem.

How to:
0 Uninstall Krusader
1 download source from http://www.krusader.org/
2 cd krusader-2.4.0-beta3
3 cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ -DQT_INCLUDES=/usr/share/qt4/include
4 make
5 sudo checkinstall

Don´t forget in step 5 to set version on 3 instead of beta3, only digits are allowed in versions in debs nowadays.

[Dobrai Jonathán (dobraijonathan)]

Please give us an example of the line

3 cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ -DQT_INCLUDES=/usr/share/qt4/include

in order to understand it.

Thank you!

[Christian Hildmann (christian-hildmann)]

I tried the recipe from #10, which is derived from the Krusader documentation at http://www.krusader.org/documentation/kde4_lin_install.html However, step 3 fails with errors from cmake. It would be fine to get a new version in the repositories - thank you!

[tlu (thomas-ludwig-gmx)]

Just download the respective Debian package from http://packages.debian.org/experimental/krusader

[WoodyEckelzone (bcr497)]

@ Dobrai:
- cmake A cross-platform, open-source make system
-------------
-DQT_INCLUDES=/usr/share/qt4/include
 is the location of the QT4 includes

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/
 is the location where Krusader will be installed with the make command.
 An other example is: -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PRFIX=/opt/krusader
 to install the compiled Krusader in an other directory to not overwrite
 the Krusader version installed by your package manager.
.
@Christian. Do you have cmake installed? It isn't by default.

BTW in the new version, read support for krarc is enabled, write support can be enabled but is buggy

[Dobrai Jonathán (dobraijonathan)]

Please write us all of the steps using a real example. Thank you!

[Dobrai Jonathán (dobraijonathan)]

I've went back to Ubuntu 12.04 and the issue finally is resolved.

[Michal Kvasnicka (michal-kvasnicka)]

Could you put latest krusader-2.4.0-beta3 to the ubuntu standard reposotories?

[Alexandru G (vimishor)]

@Christian Hildmann: cmake probably complains about missing dependencies needed for compilation. You can get those using:

sudo apt-get build-dep krusader

and then continue with step 3 from comment #10

[WoodyEckelzone (bcr497)]

@Dobrai It is a real example.
But before you start check if you have these installed::
sudo apt-get build-dep krusader
sudo apt-get install cmake checkinstall

When you install the produced deb you'll probably get a warning message that the package is of bad quality. You can ignore that.

#17 Yes please.

BTW I experience unexpected closes/crashes of Krusader after the latest KDE updates of this week. It just crashes after pressing ESC or some other keys.

Manually installing package with beta3 from Ubuntu Saucy - http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/amd64/krusader/download solves this issue. Please backport it to previous versions of Ubuntu!
