Thunar, "extract here" no longer works (solved)

[bonedome]

Hello
since the update to CentOS 7.4 thunar's useful right click menu "extract here" archive extractor no longer works, it says something like "no suitable archive manager found" am I missing something or is there some setting I need to adjust ?
I've tried this with gnome and fluxbox, same result.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you seen anything in the journal?
Strart the journal as root

Code: Select all

journalctl -f

and then try the context menu.

Hello
thanks for the reply, no luck with journalctl, but I learnt about something I didn't know existed and read the man page.
Anyway I found the answer on a Gentoo forum

Code: Select all

cd /usr/libexec/thunar-archive-plugin/
sudo ln -s file-roller.tap org.gnome.FileRoller.tap

There was a sym link already there but it omitted the org. part at the beginning.
I would never have guessed gnome was the culprit.
