[Bug 257519] Re: File Roller With P7zip Broken on Rars
We should not be so quick to get rid of bugs without having consideration to a quality user experience. The gnome feature list states that File-roller (Archive Manager) now uses p7zip to extract archives, so it supports .alz, .zip, .cbr, .cbz archives, .arj, .rar and .iso files. People naturally expect that stated features will actually be included and that they will work without hassles. If the root cause of the bug is that the package p7zip-rar is not present, then the solution should be that this package is changed to require p7zip-rar. What happens now is that rar's under file manager fail mysteriously without any assistance about needing the p7zip-rar package. Im re-opening this to confirmed because its not an invalid bug report. ** Changed in: file-roller (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Confirmed -- File Roller With P7zip Broken on Rars https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257519 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 257519] Re: File Roller With P7zip Broken on Rars
the pzip-rar package is non-free and can't be installed by default and there is already a bug about installing required software the way codecs are installed, what else do you suggest there? -- File Roller With P7zip Broken on Rars https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257519 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 257519] Re: File Roller With P7zip Broken on Rars
I appreciate that the RARLABS software is closed source, but RARLABS provides the software as a way for users on non windows environments to extract their format. Ubuntu includes other closed source software in the repos such as the Nvidia drivers. Another example is Adobe Flash. The so called free unrar library (the RARLABS unrar is also free as in cost) that is optionally available in the repos as well is feature limited and not reliable for general use cases in my experience. An example is how it fails to extract multiple volume archives when I tried it. The idea that the required package cannot be included as required for file roller is one which is at odds to other Ubuntu closed source precedents. -- File Roller With P7zip Broken on Rars https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257519 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 257519] Re: File Roller With P7zip Broken on Rars
the pzip-rar package is available in ubuntu but it's non-free and can't be shipped on the CD or installed by default, the adobe flash plugin is not available in the default installation either. the drivers are a different topic since they are something required for some user to have working hardware, non-free drivers are not enable by default either though -- File Roller With P7zip Broken on Rars https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257519 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 257519] Re: File Roller With P7zip Broken on Rars
In such a case with Canonical seeing non free hardware drivers as being higher than non free software I suggest the best move forward for the users is to close this bug and wait on the enhancement request you mention to overcome the issue with novice users having a mysterious failure with RAR archive extraction by default. I don't know the number of the enhancement and I would appreciate it so I can track help with testing. -- File Roller With P7zip Broken on Rars https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257519 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
