So I use Debian 12, and it came with Xarchiver. I personally have grown to dislike it, but it feels like there aren't any other archiving programs that look or feel like I'm using 7zip which is part of why I tolerated it for the last year. Now, however I can't get Xarchiver or any archiving tool at the moment to properly take a folder and turn it into a zip without crashing or freezing up. The folders aren't even that large, so it's a bit confusing. The only clue I have to what could be wrong is a message I got that hung up my computer when I tried to have it restart itself:
Code:
Job user@1000.service/stop running ("time"/no limit): Us...cument-portal.service/stop running ("time"/no limit)...
Note: "time" in this line is just how long it spent hung up on what this message is trying to say it's doing. I don't really know what it means other then it's probably just having trouble shutting a service down for restart. Thankfully it only took a couple minutes to clear and restart but I have concerns that it will do this again.
I've heard that 7zip is supposed to work for Linux but I've yet to get it to work on my machine. I've also tried Peazip and File Roller and I try not to be picky, but neither really function the way I expect them to and have the same issues regarding the recent freezing and crashing I'm having.
So I just need help with a few questions I have to see if I can resolve this:
1: What could be causing the lock ups when it was fine yesterday and how can I fix this?
and
2: What other archiving programs are out there for Linux that I can use that isn't just using the terminal?
