RAR files

[RandomP]

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me get RAR support in Archive Manager. I do not want to run Wine and use Winrar through that. Thanks!

Open a Terminal and run:

sudo apt-get install unrar

That should fix your issues.

As far as I know the unrar package is meant to be used to uncompress the .rar files,the rar package is avaible for free only for a limited period of time,if you want it after that time you have to pay it.

Hi...
I adder unrar from synaptic. Whenever I want to unrar files I can see them in the archiver utility, but if I try to extract them nothing happens (i.e. it only creates the supposed directory but none of the files are extratecd...). Trying with terminal, unrar output "failed" for every file...

Maybe the file is corrupted or it's a fake .rar file,some days ago I downloaded any .rar files I thought were compressed slides I needed,but those were all porn file with a .rar extension.
I hope this message may help you.
