Re: Recommend Unrar program?

the terminal is realey easey and you onley nead it for the one comand exampel.

use dolphin or Konqueror and make a folder lets name it /my_ book ....now just take all the .rar's and move them to /my_ book now hit F4 and a console will open in /my_book (hiting F4 in dolphin or Konqueror opens a console in the curent DIR ((folder)) ......type

ls

and you will see somthing like this (this is just to make shure wear working frome within the right folder)

vinny@Kubuntu:/media/disk/listen1$ ls
LISTEN1.part01.rar LISTEN1.part03.rar LISTEN1.part05.rar LISTEN1.part07.rar LISTEN1.part09.rar
LISTEN1.part02.rar LISTEN1.part04.rar LISTEN1.part06.rar LISTEN1.part08.rar

now type (you just use the name of the first part in the multy part arcive)

rar x LISTEN1.part01.rar

and it will extract them all
easey

Re: Recommend Unrar program?

I found that last year it was possible to use unrar nonfree for multiple archives, maybe there is still a chance to use it.

the problem seams to be with just the files the OP is working with!!!.....but thanks.

I did more test's and find that in most cases ARK dose ok.

test-1. DL'd a diferent multy part .rar arcive ........click or rite click file extracts

test-2 took a move Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - Live.mpg and used file roler to make a multy part arcive (ARK dosent seame to have this option as file roler dose)

vinny@Kubuntu:/media/disk/Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven Live 1973/testrar$ ls
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - Live.mpg.part1.rar
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - Live.mpg.part2.rar
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - Live.mpg.part3.rar
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - Live.mpg.part4.rar
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - Live.mpg.part5.rar
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - Live.mpg.part6.rar
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - Live.mpg.part7.rar
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - Live.mpg.part8.rar

and it extract's just fine in ARK.

SO the prob seams to be with JUST the set of files in queshton...............withch begs the Q why...................the world may never know.......LOL

I had tryed to make the multy part on the CLI with rar and have in the past but just couldent seam to get the syntax right.......? some one whant to refresh my memorey

Re: Recommend Unrar program?

I have ran across several rar archives where the rars are nested. Meaning each part contains another rar. If you extract each one into another directory and then unrar on the extracted ones you can get the data. There must be some program that automatically does this, I can't imagine any body doing it on purpose. I am guessing that is what the problem is?

Here is the CLI I use to back up a directory to dvd friendly files.

rar a "name of rar" -v1100m -m3 -ep1 -r "input folder"
