Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug

See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download ISO from here: https://archive.org/details/Power-Drive-DOS-1994
2. Try to open ISO with Ark
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
Ark says "The archive you're trying to open is corrupt."
Even if you tell it to open read-only, it doesn't show anything.
EXPECTED RESULT
This is a valid ISO that should be capable of being opened normally.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 5.23
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The blog post here:
https://multimedia.cx/eggs/iso-9660-compromise-part-2-finding-root/ actually
diagnoses the problem, and figures out why some software fails on loading the
ISO, and others don't.
The actual files are also available as a ZIP file in the download link above.
You can successfully mount the ISO using the right click menu option in KDE
"Mount ISO".
Here's the file listing I got using that option:
ls -la

Mounting as a loop device also works:
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop ~/Downloads/Power-Drive.iso ~/games/iso
