Extract a multiple rar archive

Asked by Nameless

Binary package hint: file-roller

Hi

I wanted to extract a multiple rar archive (.rar, .r00, .r01, ... .r47, .r48).
So, I've started to extract the .rar file, but then File roller complains that this archive type is not supported.
How can I extract this multiple rar archive anyway?

Regards,
Nameless

@Pedro Villavicencio

This is like a bug for me. I've never before encountered a file archiver, which cannot unpack a multiple rar archive...

@Mark Rijckenberg

Thanks for your tip. I'll try it tomorrow.

This situation had never happened to me. Usually, what I try to do is right click on the very first file, say: rarfile.r00, the application will automatically extract the succeeding numbers related to rarfile.r00.

Try installing the peazip utlity.

sudo apt-get install peazip

Ian

If you have unrar-free it sometimes fails at uncompressing some rar archives, in that case you need to install the non-free version of unrar.

Thanks a lot for your advice! PeaZip has extracted the multiple rar archive successfully. Great.

But
sudo apt-get install peazip
didn't worked out. So, I've downloaded the .deb package directly from http://peazip.sourceforge.net/
