In Ubuntu 17.10 ubuntu upgraded Nautilus (File Browser) to version 3.26.0. New nautilus is not using file-roller anymore, it has switched to an integrated compression mechanism.



New mechanism



This makes it complicated to create encrypted archives and/or different types compression archives that file-roller does provide.



How to make nautilus use file-roller as before?

            Package is gone in 18.04 Bionic Beaver. A workaround is to install nemo (my favorite file browser) and from nemo you will find the context menu working just as before!

          • Waaaay! Your answer still works, although I'm not totally in love with sub-menu, you can download libunique from here packages.ubuntu.com/artful/amd64/libunique-3.0-0/download and install it with gdebi, followed by nautilus-actions from here launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/nautilus-actions/… and do it with gdebi as well!
