Well, what's the directory's full path? Does it still happen if you rename it? The path is /storage/school/Algonquin I tried renaming Algonquin to A and copying the directory to A2. The KDE notifications always say "Adding a file (finished) and the *.tar.gz.arkWriting file is left around. I can manually run tar and gzip. $ tar -cf /storage/school/Algonquin.tar /storage/school/Algonquin tar: Removing leading `/' from member names $ gzip /storage/school/Algonquin.tar Is there a log file somewhere? There's no log file, but if you run Ark from a terminal you may see some debugging output (especially if you have debug symbols and/or a debug build). Does the problem also happen if you create, say, a ZIP file, or if you move Algonquin to /tmp? I copied the directory to /tmp and it creates a larger Algonquin.tar.gz.arkWriting but still fails. Compress->As ZIP Archive seems to be complete. I tried Compress->Compress To and selected a tar file and it failed. It created a Algonquin.tar.arkWriting. Running from a terminal doesn't show much: ark(11448): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''. " ark(11448): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''. " I tried to recompile Ark with debugging but maybe I did it wrong because there is no more output. (In reply to comment #4) > I copied the directory to /tmp and it creates a larger > Algonquin.tar.gz.arkWriting but still fails. Hmm. Is there anything special in that directory (files with non-UTF8 encodings, for example)? What if you try to compress some subdirectory in there? > I tried to recompile Ark with debugging but maybe I did it wrong because there > is no more output. Have you compiled it passing -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DebugFull to cmake? You probably need to activate debug area 0 by running kdebugdialog. I still can't get debugging to work. :-( I did narrow it down to a subdirectory (some directories work but not this one). Unfortunately that directory has tons of subdirectories. :-( Trying to compress them all would take forever. I found one non-UTF8 filenames? $ find . | perl -ne 'print if /[^[:ascii:]]/' The Technical Writerâs World.ppt The Technical Writerâs World.ppt Yay, it finishes now that I renamed one file. :-) Well, it looks like it's a broken encoding issue. Qt4 and KDE4 currently expect Unicode file names, so compression fails with that file/directory you mentioned. From Ark's side, the *arkWriting file should have been removed, and an error message should be shown. However, we cannot compress that file/directory -- it first needs to be converted to an appropriate encoding. The `convmv' utility might help you with that. Thanks for the report! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 165044 *** SVN commit 1185340 by rkcosta: [libarchive] Remove the temporary file when compression fails.
