You are right, karl. I have also tested it using lubuntu-12.04-beta2-desktop-i386.iso in virtualbox and I did not succeed. Then I kept on trying and found another weired 'solution' that worked:
1) Start Lubuntu-12.04-beta2.iso using virtualbox (I did not test it yet on real hardware) 2) Place an archive on your desktop (i.e. named as 'archive.tar.gz') 3) Open a terminal 4) Type: sudo file-roller ~/Desktop/archive.tar.gz 5) Try drag&drop 6) --> crash ! But no problem 7) Press Alt+F2 to get the "Run application" window 8) Type: killall file-roller 9) Do 4) and 5) again 10) --> success 11) Do it again --> crash 12) Do it again --> success Also if you keep the archive open after the first successful dnd action, it crashes when you retry dnd. Isn't that weired? I don't know what this means, but at least we maybe have something pointing (anyone of us) to the solution of this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878993 Title: x.org lockup after dragging archived file to desktop Status in PCManFM - File Manager: Unknown Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “pcmanfm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 1 - Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 2 - file-roller: Installed: 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3 - I was trying to extract a file with fileroller.
