Title:
  trying to backup home folder causes permission error

Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Alright, try this:

  - go to home folder '~'
  - show all invisible '.' files
  - press CTRL+A
  - rightclick...
  - compress...
  - use any unused filename in target location
  - to '.tar.gz' or '.7z' or whathaveyou
  - to 'insert any location you have permissions to read/write to'
  - press 'create'

  --> An error occurred while adding files to the archive.
  Permission denied

  - if you think this wasnt fun enough, retry this with root privileges
  --> Still errors out, but with another error message (that i forgot, just try it yourself)

  --> Backing up all your valueable application settings, has NEVER been
  easier

  you wanna see more complaints about this problem, see here:

  (no solution)

  i just want to strangle the guy who caused this permission error
