If you mean opening a tar/tar.gz/etc file in Gnome/Ubuntu, it's called
file-roller, but shows in Gnome as Archive Manager.

It should be installed with the rest of Ubuntu, but if it isn't you can
install it with:
sudo aptitude install file-roller
(in a terminal window)

Having it installed, you just need to press Return for the file to be
open in file-roller.


Hope it helps,
André
