I was trying to extract a file from a .7z compressed file but it says not possible.
IT says something like a tmp file does not exist.
I attach a picture of the error, maybe it can help

thanks
that looks like the file name starts with a blank, and that confuses KDE. Can you try and rename the archive?
Uwe
nope, it doesnt start with a blank :S
The compressed file might be broken. Are you able to extract 7z files other than this file?

How did you do this? I’d try to unpack with 7z on the command line.
Uwe
nope, uncompressing of another .7z files did not work either
Have you installed p7zip?
yeah i have it installed says Yast
still havent solved the problem :S:S
It is difficult to determine the exact problem because your answers to questions have been brief. So, assuming the compressed files are valid, can you explain in more detail the command you used to try the extraction?
Can you confirm p7zip is installed?
rpm -qa |grep p7zip
p7zip-4.58-0.pm.1

Now, I’d never used this compression format before, so I tried compressing a desktop image from my desktop with:
7z a -t7z test.7z snapshot1.png
7-Zip 4.58 beta Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Igor Pavlov 2008-05-05
p7zip Version 4.58 (locale=en_GB.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,1 CPU)
ScanningCreating archive test.7z
Compressing snapshot1.png
Everything is Ok
Then I deleted the original source file and extracted it again with:
linux:/home/dean/Desktop # rm -f snapshot1.png
linux:/home/dean/Desktop # 7z e test.7z7-Zip 4.58 beta Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Igor Pavlov 2008-05-05

If you follow the same process, you should be able to determine whether the problem is the file validity, syntax error or missing library.
ummm im not using any console command, just compressing and decompressing through GUI (menus).
Yes, all the .7z files are in good state.
So, try the CLI method first (as suggested by buckesfeld) and see if that works for you…
