netinstall of install of cauldron. Fully updated.

Code: Select all

Loading the archive ‘/home/germ/Firefox Nightly/firefox-123.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2’ failed with the following error:
No suitable plugin found. Ark does not seem to support this file type.

I have all the ark plugins. What am I missing?

Thanks

Maybe ark needs a rebuild against latest libbz2 ?
You should still be able to extract it with

Code: Select all

tar -xf '/home/germ/Firefox Nightly/firefox-123.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2'

What happens it you right click it, then extract to ... somewhere?

That command does nothing and does not give an error message.

right clicking does not give an Extract option for .bz2 files. When I choose "Open with Ark" after right-clicking, I get the error message.

Found a work-around:

Code: Select all

[germ@localhost ~]$ cd /home/germ/Downloads
[germ@localhost Downloads]$ bunzip2 firefox-123.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

Then with the file extracted to .tar, then I can use the GUI to extract the tarball. Right click > 'Extract archive here'

But why does bunzip2 work in konsole but not in Ark? weird...

Are you sure the content was not extracted ?

Yes. I executed the command and in a few seconds it went back to the prompt. The file did not extract.
