[Bug 1388532] Re: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix
Almost 2017, and the bug is still not fixed (also Mint 17.3). Can someone perhaps explain the steps how I can try and contribute to a fix? No, I'm not much of a software developer (I'm an electronics engineer), but this should be fairly easy to solve. If I understand correctly, it has been fixed for several other distributions, but I have no overview about what versions are included in what Linux distributions.

[Bug 1388532] Re: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix
I have this in linux mint 17.3. I can't believe this annoying yet easy to fix bug hadn't been corrected since then (2 years). And I don't understand why Debian developpers want so much to "patch" upstream software and add new bugs instead of keeping them as they are... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388532 Title: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ark/+bug/1388532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In Utopic I had the bug as well, but worked around it see #6 above. Just saying, it's solved in Vivid (possibly) or Vivid + Kubuntu Backports PPA (works for me) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388532 Title: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ark/+bug/1388532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have the same version as Ferry Toth in Utopic (14.10) with vanilla repos and the bug is present. ark -v: Qt: 4.8.6 KDE Development Platform: 4.14.1 Ark: 2.19 ark: Installed: 4:4.14.1-0ubuntu1 test.zip: gzip compressed data, last modified: Sun May 10 22:53:40 2015, from Unix This file is not working on Windows (as expected), but the strange thing is that it's not working on another Ubuntu machine - Trusty (14.04) with vanilla repos. Ark shows just an empty archive and is not extracting anything from it when used with the right click Dolphin menu. Version of ark: Qt: 4.8.6 KDE Development Platform: 4.13.3 Ark: 2.19 As far as i can see, the difference in those three cases (with the one presented by Ferry Toth) is the KDE Dev Platform version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388532 Title: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ark/+bug/1388532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1388532] Re: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix
It looks like this is solved in vivid, but I'm not sure as I have ark_15.04.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu15.04~ppa1_amd64 from Kubuntu Backport PPA. ark -v reports: Qt: 4.8.6 KDE Development Platform: 4.14.7 Ark: 2.19 I tested this by using dolphin to zip a file and then used file filename.zip to verify the type. I did not test the file by f.i. using winzip in windows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388532 Title: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ark/+bug/1388532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

To work around this problem I did: download the deb for Trusty install (I used qapt, but dpkg -i should work) go to synaptic to pin ark to the downgraded version (otherwise will be upgraded on next upgrades) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388532 Title: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ark/+bug/1388532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
