file-roller crashed with SIGSEGV in memmove()

StacktraceTop:?? ()

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Pedro, simply without running valgrind, I found a strange thing in the
crash report:
ProcCmdline: file-roller --default-dir=file:///home/username --add
file:///home/username/Canzoniere%202009.doc

my home is /home/yelo3, not /home/username..

Anyway executing it with the correct path and compressing to ZIP will always cause the same results, so I run valgrind.

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589920

It occurs when you trying to create ZIP archive too. Im not sure why. I have all required libraries etc.

File roller can't compress anything, but it can read anything that it supports through the libraries. Karmic and Jaunty bugs.

I ran into this with Karmic trying to .zip a folder without spaces.

Same here, compressing some files without spaces to .zip crashes reproducibly. The same files as .tar.gz works normally.

ditto #10 and #11

this has been fixed upstream now, thanks for reporting.

I have same problem

karmic 9.10 with latest updates

When this bug will be released on Karmic?

probably next week, and please do not re, re, confirm the issue, we know is there. If there's another new release of file-roller and you're still getting the issue then please say it, otherwise please don't, it only generate bug mail noise.

I think they're confused about this: status: Triaged → Fix Committed

However, Fix Committed means it was updated in the upstream source code. Only once it is "Fix Released" will it be in Ubuntu. That's important to understand.

Having this issue, but slightly different...

Right-click a folder, choose Compress, and it crashes out when you hit continue.

9.10 Karmic here, updated about 3 hours ago...

The problem still remains

After latest update I can compress my files with ".tar.gz", but with other formats (zip, etc) it crashes

Getting this today when trying to make a .zip... what version can we expect the fix in?

Confirm, issue still exist. BTW, why status is "Fix Committed"?

Definitely this problem still exists.

problem still exist. created zip archive from directory. no spaces in name. tar.bz2 OK

changing back to fix commited which means the bug has been fixed in GNOME git not in ubuntu yet

Some news (bad ones though), the bug is not fixed with that commit[1] (which is already on file-roller 2.27.92 available on Ubuntu), just tested it and it crashes anyways, will re open the upstream bug. Thanks all.

1- http://git.gnome.org/cgit/file-roller/commit/?id=1e38c5df005ec2d54ac05b3028ab7c56a09ad082

for me File-roller still crash's trying to make a zip file with no spaces in any filenames.

With file-roller 2.28.0 I can compress my files with .zip format, but the files in .zip archive damaged

this is now fixed with file-roller 2.28.0-0ubuntu1 ; Sergei you might want to open a new bug for that error since it's not the same problem we describe here. thanks.
