Jan 10, 2010
I'm new to Ubuntu, and everytime i've tried to download a program like iTunes, the "Archive Manager" comes up and says "An Error Has Occured While Loading the Archive". how to fix this or download programs ?
I had been running a dual boot windows XP & Ubuntu. Graboid worked in both systems. I have now got rid of windows, upgraded to 10.10 I installed wine, winetricks & dotnet20, but when I click on my downloaded Graboid.exe file I get the following error: Command line output code...
I am new to the world of linux and when attempting to verify a tar archive I am displayed the following error. When running the command tar cvfW archivename.tar filename directoryname does not yield any errors.
I'd like to ask about archive mounter feature, can I mount zip file with read write mode? can gvfsd-archive do that?, or I must use fuse-zip to mount it? If I must use fuse-zip, how I wrap it so I can use it via nautilus or via gvfs-fuse-daemon
before installing Natty I shoved a whole bunch of files into a 29GB 7z archive (Split into 29 1GB archives.) Now when I try to extract them it gives me "An error occurred while loading the archive."Can anybody tell me how to rescue my stuff? (Or at least some of it.)Output from file roller below:

I have upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and I am using the classic ubuntu interface instead of Unity. I am facing problems with the Archive Manager. My problem is that I can open archives but I can not modify them or create a new zip file with the GUI. I get an error saying:
zip error: Invalid command arguments (no such option: -)
The easiest way to reproduce it is by right-clicking on any file, pressing compress and selecting .zip in the file format.
Every shortcut... every program... every link... everything opens in Archive Manager. And then it reports that the archive is not supported... I gotta launch everything directory related through a terminal just to get to navigate through a window manager.
I have upgraded my Ubuntu to 10.04, in hopes that my problem would dissapear. Sadly, it hasn't. You see, my archive manager isn't cooperating with me and it's not letting me download anything. For example, I tried to download Sony Vegas and it gave me the following error. (Among other things, but this data seems more important.)" End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In thelatter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. "
This occured when I tried to open the "SonyVegas 8.0 exe" . I have unzipped this file. I think "exe" has something to do with Windows, if so, is there a way I can convert this file so it can be adapted to my archive manager? Or is my archive manager not working, correctly? Does anyone else have these problems, also? Please, I want to be able to download things and my archive manager is the reason I can't.

I am running Natty Narwhal with Gnome Classic (I can't get used to Unity). When I click the Trash Can the Archive Manager (file-roller) starts with Could not create the archive
Archive type not supported.I'm sure the default "open with" for the Trash folder has somehow been modified but I can't figure out how to change it back.
I am running ubuntu 11.04 in classic mode with macubuntu theme and the avant window navigator. I am very impressed. I have downloaded kubuntu and have tried it from the live cd. The question I have, is can I also install this on my pc and choose at login which version to boot and do I install it from the cd at boot up or can I install it from the archive manager in ubuntu 11.04.
Is it possible to have Archive Manager create the specified folder when I enter it into the path field? Like if I want to put something in "/Main/Sub1/Sub2" But "sub2" doesn't exist, can I just have Archive Manager create it and put the files there?
I have in my pc (ubuntu 10.10 32 bit) a folder with about 10.000 files. It is a samba shared folder and so far I could browse fast and easily those files in another old ( Pentium4 1,5Ghz) PC with WinXP. I installed ubuntu 10.10 but the browsing now is toooooooo slow , although the old Pc's performance is considerably faster than before (when I had WinXP). Also, although the old PC's speed is satisfatory now, would it become even faster if I installed an older ubuntu distro?
I'm using Debian 8 Xfce and now using Engrampa as default archive manager. But I can't do "Extract here" right click in Thunar, returning error "No suitable archive manager found". How to get Thunar know Engrampa as its archive manager?
if I go up to Places -> Fileshare(a SMB mount) and click it, it tries to open in "Archive Manager" and breaks.However, the mount is also put on the desktop, and accessible that way.Why, oh why, has my Places menu started trying to open mount points in "Archive Manager" all of a sudden? Fedora 14 / Gnome
When I click on "Places-->any item" (except 'Computer') the folder opens in "Archive Manager". I have tried resetting the panels but the problem persists.

All operation result in a seperate window displaying the progress of the compression but with an error.
Error 127, cannot execute requested operation.
Then when the progress bar reaches full it resets and then resets again continuing the same loop with it becoming slower with every repetition. There is no information posted in the report log of the window. Except that the task has started.
I'm trying to simply archive a file and password protect it. This shouldent be such a difficult task.
P7zip also gives me its own set of errors when archiving.
I'm trying to install Adobe Reader 8 and the command #dpkg -1 AdobeReader_enu-8.1.3-1.i386.deb comes up with the message error processing AdobeReader Cannot access archive. No such file or directory. Error was encountered while processing.
So the above is the error message I am receiving when trying to compile (at make stage when error received) binutils 2.20.1. I am compiling in Virtualbox and the base machine is SourceMage 64bit.
In the upper left corner, I click places>documents (or anything besides computer) and I get the error,
"Could not create the archive, archive type not supported" from archive manager.
I saw a thread from a while back claiming I could just right click and "open with," but that simply isn't possible in these drop down menus, right clicks are treated as left clicks.
Does anybody have any ideas? It's very annoying trying to quickly access my files and having to go through Computer every time to get to them.
PS: I also deleted an "inode directory=" line in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeaps, as explained by a forum thread I found. Still, no luck...
