Subject: [gentoo-user] [Possibly OT] rile-roller having problems with deletions after upgrade to 3* series kernel
Date: Fri, 25 May 2012 23:49:28 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FC060D8.10303@gmail.com> (raw)

Each night (at midnight) I make backups of files that changed the
previous day, and on the first of the month I make full backups of
important directories (/home, /etc, etc etc).  Each morning I do
maintenance on the partial backup from the day before.  I've noticed
that since I upgraded to the 3* series kernel (at this moment it's
3.2.12) I've had problems with file-roller - I tell it to delete a
directory (something I consider nonessential like ~/.thumbnails) and I
says "Reading archive..." without actually deleting anything.  I've
found that I can delete ten files at a time, which can be really
inconvenient when there are hundreds of nonessential files I need to
delete.  I don't think it's tar - I can go into my terminal window and
delete all the files I want with tar and it works perfectly; it just
seems to be file-roller.  Has anyone else experienced this?
