Watch Out for the Archive Manager Bug in GNOME
A scary situation occured last week that I should have mentioned earlier.There is a but in GNOME's Archive Manager that will cause Linux, or hopefully GNOME to my knowlege, to crash.
Linux doesn't crash, Bushido. That is crazy talk.
True, but not every operating system is perfect. This seems more like a glitch that was probably overlooked by the GNOME developers. Fortunately, no serious damage occured to the system.
What happens is when you open a .zip file with the Archive Manager program, then click extract you get a message about how bash can't extract the files because there are to many arguments. A little while later OH SHI--
The best way to avoid this from happening is to use the console instead of the Archive Manager program.
Just type the following line to extract a .zip file.
unzip filename.zip
Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
