In my opinion, the problem is not in those scripts, nor is it a Dell problem. The problem is the crappy power management in laptop HDDs. I own a Dell D820 with a Hitachi HDD by the way. I recently had contact with Hitachi technical support on this issue. They advised me to put my HDD APM to settin

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: file-roller When you have 2 archives which contain the same root directory, file-roller creates 2 sub-directories when choosing 'Extract Here'. Example: Say we have got 2 archives, 'archive1.zip' and 'archive2.zip'. 'archive1.zip. contains: - /archive/

Well, the behavior is different from when opening the files with Archive Manager (File-Roller) and choosing "Extract -> Extract" (in the default directory, i.e. where the archive is located). In that case, the directory structure created is the one expected, i.e.: /archive /disk1/fil
