Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

I've done: 

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

...but when I launch file roller, I don't see any encryption options and the UI seems very basic.

  • Tried from CLI also. No errors. This is to say that I executed "file-roller". – NonYaBidnezz Oct 30 '18 at 12:22
  • Trying reinstall... Nope. Same result. – NonYaBidnezz Oct 30 '18 at 12:24
  • I get enough to work with if I launch it against a file already created and I can encrypt a *.zip file already created but when launched by itself and used as a management UI, it's basically useless. – NonYaBidnezz Oct 30 '18 at 12:34
  • Yep, but maybe not till this evening. I can get it to work with .zip if I finagle around with it a bit but not .7z which seems to have been working in the past. Strangely, you have to apply the encryption AFTER you create the file. – NonYaBidnezz Oct 30 '18 at 12:37

    OK, I've figured this out. It was me. The new OS Dock and UI where what was throwing me. – NonYaBidnezz Oct 30 '18 at 12:41

Archive Manager (file-roller) have these options. Rt. click and Open with Archive Manager.

To extract you can drag and drop.

Can be used to encrypt as well as decrypt.

file-roller

file-roller-2

OK so this UI is a bit strange. You have to "Create an Archive" first using the menu. Then you can do pretty much what ever you want.
