"yum install unrar"
and I got package not found. Is there a better util to do this now or is there just no support for unrar util anymore
After having downloaded unrar, I find I can't actually use it to extract rar files. Whenever I use the command unrar e filename.rar, (obviously using the correct filename), I just get told there's no such file or directory.

I've done everything on this site, but I can't get it to extract. What do I have to do to make this work? Do I need to set the directory or something? I've seen other people mention that as a solution for other problems, but have no idea how to do it.
I've just noticed that unrar is suddenly taking minutes to extract instead of seconds.
I can remember if its recently been updated, but I've uninstalled and reinstalled it and the version is: unrar.x86_64 0:3.7.8-3.fc10
I've found a few Ubuntu posts about it on Google, but in true Ubuntu fashion nobody has any answers!
What's odd is that when I unrar a file from (Nautilus or "unrar x *.rar") it takes say 4mins, then if I do it again it takes 15secs, like as if its caching somewhere.
It seems that unrar isn't installed any more in 11.4?
When i try to install it via Yast, it shows many dependencies that must be fulfilled, the total download comes to something over 400 MB.
Just for unrar?
I recently downloaded a program to find out it was in pieces. What I originally conceived as being a small problem has turned into a major time wasting dilemma.
I've tried many different things to get it to properly extract, viewing threads on these forums even, but to no avail.
The files were named:
file.part01.rar
file.part02.rar etc.
I though this was the problem so I renamed all 84 files (except the first one), removing the .rar extension. No cigar.
My final attempt of several was using 7zip:
Code:
7z x myArchive.rar -o/home/[username]/Desktop
I was in the correct folder as far as I could tell.
I have included a screenshot of the files in order to stop any confusion about my description.
I am new to the linux forum .......Unrar doesn't install using apt-get install unrar
My friend a longtime user of linux told me that it's a non-free software and is no longer supported by debian. I was wondering if this is true .....and would there be other options or instructions on where and how to install this package?
I've downloaded some torrents, and someone CONVENIENTLY made them a multiple file archive instead of a single file.
I've tried unrar -x <filename>-part1.rar, which it says it completes, then I don't see the file. What do I need to do? WinRAR usually decompresses them just fine, but on Linux is where I have the problem.
More importantly, why on Earth would anybody do this?

I had to reinstall everything on my ACER aspire one, and now I can't unrar rar files with xarchiver. I tried installing ARK but that didn't work, and instead of troubleshooting why Ark isn't working I'd really just like to get Xarchiver to work. I uninstalled and reinstalled using yum but that didn't change anything.I also tried installing the source code of xarchiver 5.0 from a tar.gz, but the ./configure needs to be able to find gtk+-2 and for some reason it can't.

Check a folder for Rar files every few minutes, Unrar if present, and delete the left over files once done.
Be able to specify the directory of which folder to watch within the script.
Run an extension white list (.avi, .mkv, .mp4) and blacklist (rar files) of files to be moved.
Specify within the script which folder to move found files to.
I've seen a few online that does some of this or much more than this but I'm looking for something that just does this in a simple and efficient way... (Also for the life of me, I just can't get how to edit this to do what I'm looking for)

I have C: and D: on my computer. the D drive has 250 GB of free space. I would like to install it on the D drive without harming my existing windows.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from Fedora 13 to Fedora 14 and noticed something strange when I used Yum to install GNote and Inkscape. Yum installed the Fedora 14 version of the programs, but installed some dependencies that were actually from Fedora 12 and 13. The output below shows what packages were installed.
Yum output:
==================================================================================================== ===================================================================
Package Arch Version Repository Size

When I ran the yum command to list all of the packages for the dependencies in question, it only listed the version for Fedora 12 or 13. Is there something wrong with one of my repositories or do these Fedora 14 programs actually use packages from previous versions of Fedora?
After searching online and in these forums I found two different ways of installing the Nvidia drivers in fedora 12. If you haven't yet installed the the repos then:
Code:
su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
First way:
as su
(1)
yum --enablerepo=rp*g install kmod-nvidia.$(uname -m) xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64
[Code]...
I used the first way and everything seems to work fine. Compiz-fusion works good but i did have to add vga=795 to /boot/grub/grub.conf to get the graphical boot loader to work again. Should I have used the second method? What is the difference in these two ways? Most notably the second steps. Is one way better or preferred over the other? From my understanding you must do this because of the nouveau driver.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am compiling and installing the custom kernel based on the instructions provided in Building_a_custom_kernel on fedoraproject.org/wiki site.
However, according to the instructions, anytime I change anything in the kernel source files(e.g /driver/ata/libata-core.c), I have to create a patch a rebuild the whole kernel and install this new kernel which takes 2 hours. Is there a simpler way of recompiling what has changed(without creating patch) and try that changed kernel? Since my changes are not in the drivers which can be dynamically loaded but is in the static code of the kernel, it is making life cumbersome.Are there any instructions for this? How does other kernel developers manage this?

I am completely new to linux and I want to install Fedora on my older PC. The PC is running 2.3 GHZ pentium 4 processor, 512mb Ram, and about 80GB free on the harddrive.
The PC is a Dell 8300 series and is already running Windows XP. I want to be able to dual boot Fedora and XP. I was following a tutorial but I cannot find the link anymore otherwise you would be able to view it and see if its a bad tutorial.
The tutorial had it so that I was downloading and creating and ISO Disk from here [url]. The next step was that I boot from the newly created disc by changing the setting in the BIOS. Then the tutorial instructed that I change the partition size for windows inside fedora after it boots. however I never got that far
When I booted off of the Fedora disk that I created the machine would get a message that said "Missing operating system"
I also tried booting from a flash drive but it did the same thing
It would be great if anyone could help me out, or point me to a better tutorial. Please take note that I am very green. I am not a programmer and I have limited skills on the computer. I just wanted to get my hands dirty by playing around in Fedora. So I may not understand all the Linux lingo yet.

1.First you system will ask you old mysql root password if you have installed mysql just now and not set password yet then you can enter anything or just press enter.
2. After that system will ask you twice for new password you can set a new password or you can keep it blank for no root password. I will suggest you to enter a password.
3.remove anonymous user? make it yes when you install mysql an automatic mysql user has created so remove it.
4. Disallow root login remotely. Hope you want to disallow mysql root login from remote for security of your mysql sever. If you want to use you can select no.

6.Reload privileges: do yes to flush privileges.

So how would I go about installing Fedora 12? Does anyone just have a link with a download button and it be simple as that. Or do I have to use a CD or usb??
Kinda like Wubi I can keep Windows 7 and Linux, Is there something like that but with Fedora 12
I need it to install and run CUDA applications (nVidia proprietary GPU API) and I need 4.3.x, but F12 ships with GCC 4.4.x. I thought it would be compat-gcc something, but that installs 3.x.x and I want 4.3.x

Now I know there are loads of tutorials on the net, but I did have my share of tryings and failures and I have to ask for your help now. Please note that I am a complete Fedora novice.I am running a KDE Fedora 13 32 bit. I want to install JRE 6. I have the jre-6u22-i586-rpm.bin file. I checked several tutorials, each different to the other. Some of them point out that running the script file would be enough. Well not in my case.
I run the chmod a+x jre-6u22-i586-rpm.bin ./jre ..... I though this command only changes permission to access files, however I do read on some tutorials that the installation should start upon that command, that "Terms" page should appear to me... well none of this happens. No output at all. So I use the sh command. I do get asked about terms, accept and install. In the tutorial @ oracle, it says that this should be it. Well, not here.java -version just ouputs "Unknown command"I did even manually edit the etcprofile file and added
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_21
pathmunge $JAVA_HOME/jre/bin after
, also JAVA_HOME on a line the export line below.Still no change. Its getting really frustrating, as every tutorail says different, but whatever I do I cannot get JRE running.
