Thank you for reporting this issue. Did you install "p7zip-full" ? Without this application, there is no application to handle 7zip archives. Not all archive applications are installed by default in Ubuntu/Xubuntu.

Changed in thunar-archive-plugin (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Incomplete

Yes, of course I have installed p7zip-full. The problem is not in file-roller (it can open 7zip OK), but in thunar. As I said, there is no context menu for *.7z files like for other archives (*.gz, *.bz2, *.rar etc). It's not very important but strange.
