Description CXF 2011-05-01 14:59:27 UTC
Description of problem:
If for example I go to Places in gnome (ver 3, gnome shell is disabled or forced to fall back mode) and then wherever under that menu (home directory, Downloads, whatever) I see file roller open. Since it's not an archive but a directory (as one example) I then get the error:

'Archive type not supported'


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum info file-roller

Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
Name        : file-roller
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 3.0.0
Release     : 1.fc15
Size        : 5.6 M
Repo        : installed
From repo   : fedora
Summary     : Tool for viewing and creating archives
URL         : http://download.gnome.org/sources/file-roller/
License     : GPLv2+
Description : File Roller is an application for creating and viewing archives files,
            : such as tar or zip files.



How reproducible:
100% of the time in my case. I realize that FC15 is still in beta and it's not a huge issue to me (I mostly use shell anyway) but it may be to some.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 15 (I believe in the gnome dvd file-roller is installed by default)
2. Places -> Home folder
3.
  
Actual results:

The error I mentioned above and no directory opened.
The error being: 'Archive type not supported'

Expected results:
Nautilus would open the directory and let me browse through it.


Additional info:
yum remove file-roller{,-nautilus) and then nautilus works fine. But then obviously cannot make archives in file-roller (since not there).

I thought at first I maybe set something by default but unless it's in the system [elsewhere] then - there's an issue.

Actually I had a thought just now:

If I try to open a .txt file or an .rpm file for example - the proper programs work. Could possibly be a file type issue ? Those which have associated programs with them = work fine, those that don't may not ?

One other piece of info: this is valid for both updates-testing and fedora repos.

Anything else let me know if I can help (test, whatever).

What does 

grep inode /usr/share/applications/* ~/.local/share/applications/* 

say ?

Comment 2 CXF 2011-05-03 20:30:04 UTC
Apologies on delay. Checked this yesterday but shortly before you wrote.

Anyway, here you go. 

/usr/share/applications/defaults.list:inode/directory=nautilus.desktop
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache:inode/directory=nautilus.desktop;
/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop:MimeType=inode/directory;application/x-gnome-saved-search;
/home/xex/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list:inode/directory=gnome-nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;livna-vlc.desktop;gnome-file-roller.desktop;

Seems it's also the same when uninstalled (above is installed).

Comment 3 CXF 2011-05-03 20:36:05 UTC
Fixed by removing the part of the last line:

gnome-file-roller.desktop;

Saved and it opens directories now.

As for why that was set - default ? Or maybe something in the old install (I kept /home and a couple other volumes that aren't system related).

Either way - unless it's something in the rpm, all good on my end!

Comment 4 CXF 2011-05-03 20:40:45 UTC
Just checked myself. Reinstalled it and all good.

I guess it is either from old install or something I set at some point without either realizing it or something anyway.

Thanks for the info and help - also now see where that file is (or rather the file name) which could be useful for some other settings (wine was installed.. not currently though and it'd be nice to remove the associations).

Thanks for your time also!

Just to confirm you are not alone; I also experienced this.

FileRoller was appearing when I was expecting to see Nautilus, this was especially annoying when mounting remote filesystems or plugging USB drives in. My homedir was copied from a F14 system which in turn had been upgraded stepwise from F10 to present.

I had two lines associating inodes with File-Roller in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list , removing them immediately (no restart required) resolved this as per the above comments. :-)

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-06 19:59:46 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
