As I tested the file in comment 3 on Ubuntu 12.04, this file should have encoding CP437.
$ unar -e cp437 Prueba\ con\ acentos\ y\ espacios.zip #Works perfectly (You can install "unar" by "sudo apt-get install unar") The result of unzip is a bit strange as it ask for password for one file, is this correct? Anyway, the big picture is that: * ZIP filename encoding is tricky * unzip has broken UTF-8 filename support and limited support of encoding conversion after a patch. * File Roller is just a frontend of tools like unzip, if you install p7zip it will invoke p7zip instead, which can result in working UTF-8 ZIP filename support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495880 Title: Extracting a file with german "Umlaut" in the filename doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/495880/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
