File Roller Trashes Install - Changes to 700 Permissions
Last modified: 2008-08-16 10:54:16 UTC
Please describe the problem: File roller is trashing Ubuntu Intrepid installs by unwelcome changes to file permission by setting the permissions to 700 which wrecks the install. A full discussion of the bug is found on the Ubuntu bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/250021 Steps to reproduce: 1. in /home/username/subdir using nautilus invoked by gksudo nautilus open a tar.bz2 and extract it . 2. close the root nautilus, close the terminal from which it was invoked . 3. open a user nautilus . 4. watch while system fails . note ! see attached JPG taken of completely unresponsive desktop , I couldn't do a normal screenshot because at this point only a hard reset or sysreq rseiub is possible . Actual results: Expected results: File roller should never modify permissions of other files. Does this happen every time? Other information:
can you please test the current trunk version to see if the bug is fixed now ?
