Bug 39237 – file-roller doesn't display the content of archive file

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Mathieu MILLET 2004-01-24 05:15:10 UTC]

When I launch file-roller from nautilus for opening archive files (.tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .zip), file-roller opens up but it never shows the content of the archive file.
The stop button is turned on, I can click on it but nothing happens.
File-roller isn't hanged up, since I click the open button and the open dialog box is displayed. If I select another archive file, I get the same results.

When launching file-roller from a terminal, when I click the OK button in the open dialog box, I get the following errors on the terminal :

(file-roller:18520): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot derive `FRCommandTar' from non-derivable parent type `(null)'

I run a 'classic' gnome2.4 environment with MetaCity and nautilus.

Possibly alpha related ? Any known issues with gtk+-2 ?

[Comment 2 Mathieu MILLET 2004-01-25 04:42:48 UTC]

Yes, Maybe Alpha related. How can I help to identify the problem ???

For my own knowledge : How should I read the Warning/critical messages ? from first to last or from last to first ?

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2004-01-26 06:19:14 UTC]

What versions of the tools do you use for checking out the tars (bunzip2/tar etc.) ?

Try the latest file-roller in ~ , see if still gives problems.

[Comment 4 Mathieu MILLET 2004-01-27 22:11:57 UTC]

I tried the latest in ~alpha (2.4.4).

==> Same result with the exact same error.

I also tried development version 2.5.x on gnome site, though it doesn't compile (didn't have time to test further for this version).

GNU tar : 1.13.92-r3
bzip2 : 1.0.2-r3
These tools work perfectly.

[Comment 5 Mathieu MILLET 2004-01-31 01:06:26 UTC]

About versions, my first report was on 2.4.2 of file-roller.

The second report was on 2.4.4.

Since this may really be alpha-related, could you tell on what to look for in source code ?

[Comment 6 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2004-02-05 20:45:21 UTC]

I'll have to give this a try before I can advise how to debug, I think.

[Comment 7 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2004-02-07 15:24:43 UTC]

Okay, I think I fixed the 64-bit problems in 2.4.4-r2, which I also marked stable on alpha and ia64 since the current stable version has problems...

[Comment 8 Mathieu MILLET 2004-02-08 10:16:58 UTC]

Yes !! it works :o)
