Is it just about permissions? Can anyone of you guys confirm the following successful dnd action?
1) Place an archive on your desktop (i.e. named as 'archive.tar.gz') 2) Open a terminal and cd right to the desktop 3) Type: sudo file-roller archive.tar.gz 4) Then drag and drop to the desktop This worked in my case. But it did not work, when I only started file-roller as root and opened the archive.tar.gz from within the programs user interface. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878993 Title: x.org lockup after dragging archived file to desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pcmanfm/+bug/878993/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
