Title: GUI-based tar.gz app cannot extract as superuser Status in File Roller: Confirmed Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: file-roller Double-click on a .tar.gz file, then extract to a location that a normal user does not have access to. Instead of popping up a dialog asking for security credentials, it simply fails. I see no option for su-extracting files, so I assume the only way to extract files to a protected location is through the CLI.
