Public bug reported: As normal (administrator) user file-roller cannot extract files, it complains with a message box saying (translated from spanish) Owner can't be stablished: Operation not allowed.
I can extract as superuser, nevertheless, changing the owner using nautilus as superuser crashes nautilus. Once, nautilus said the user logged in didn't exist, I couldn't reproduce this last message anymore. using cat /etc/passwd shows the user with a correct ID. I cannot be sure if the problem is about file-roller or is a user administration problem ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: file-roller 3.10.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-11.17-generic 3.11.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-11-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Oct 8 22:11:32 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-04 (4 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Beta amd64 (20131004) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=es_VE:es PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=es_VE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: file-roller UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: file-roller (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug saucy third-party-packages -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1237179 Title: file-roller can't extract a compressed file as normal user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1237179/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
