Ubuntu :: Can't Install RAR Archive
Feb 17, 2011
I'm trying to extract an RAR file which has my stuff on it from university, they use Windows Vista Ultimate so i thought i would be safe when saving my work to my flash drive. So i saved my work with the program winzip. when i got home i put in my flash drive and asked Kubuntu to extract only to find i don't have a RAR program to extract so i asked to install one via the Kpackage Manager and everything seemed fine so i asked it to extract again and said cannot extract unknown file. so i went through the terminal to install again and to make sure they were no bits of the install missing and i got this.
robert@HP-COMPAQ-LINUX-KDE:~$ sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree

Package unrar-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'unrar-nonfree' has no installation candidate robert@HP-COMPAQ-LINUX-KDE:~$
Is there any other way of extracting my work as i need to get my essay open and finnish it before monday. Also why is it saying that the package is missing? and what is the other source? Is there a way to decrypt this RAR file that vista has made?
Also one more thing once ive managed to decrypt and extract my work what is the reccomended format to between vista and kubuntu so i wont get anymore issues?

I'd like to ask about archive mounter feature, can I mount zip file with read write mode? can gvfsd-archive do that?, or I must use fuse-zip to mount it? If I must use fuse-zip, how I wrap it so I can use it via nautilus or via gvfs-fuse-daemon

I am running ubuntu 11.04 in classic mode with macubuntu theme and the avant window navigator. I am very impressed. I have downloaded kubuntu and have tried it from the live cd. The question I have, is can I also install this on my pc and choose at login which version to boot and do I install it from the cd at boot up or can I install it from the archive manager in ubuntu 11.04.

I am new to the world of linux and when attempting to verify a tar archive I am displayed the following error. When running the command tar cvfW archivename.tar filename directoryname does not yield any errors.

I do several things, involving a lot of different software (coding, image manipulation, drawing, video editing, etc).And where I live, internet is utterly slow, so instead of actually benefiting of the quick Ubuntu install, I am doomed to spend countless days re-downloading my packages each time.Before my last format, having gained a slightly greater understanding of how Linux works, I saved all the content of apt archives, so synaptic would pick the packages already downloaded from there.But it does not! It re-downloads every package.What should I do to have synaptic recognize packages that are already there?
Note: I am NOT looking to create a mirror repository, aptOnCd and whatnot. I also DO NOT want to install packages by hand, one by one or all together.All these solutions are certainly valuable (and I've tried a good bunch of them), but then I have to update manually my mirrored repository and/or install updates manually. Furthermore, it leaves me with two directories with packages, apt archive and ~/my-repository, which is just messy (in my view at least).

I have two non-system drives with archive files. Each drive is formatted with one primary partition only, occupying all the drive space. In each drive there will be a number of directories with files in them, like this:
Drive 1:
/directory1/directoryXXX/files
/directory2/directoryXXX/files
/directory3/directoryXXX/files
Drive 2:
/directory4/directoryXXX/files

I have a ton of music that I would like to upload to an on-line storage site. Ideally, I would like to keep the file organization structure intact, but am limited to 50mb file size.
Is there a way to compress this whole directory without going through and compressing every folder individually, while maintaining less than a 50mb file size?

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 trying to install MySQL, Apache, and PHP onto my Linux Ubuntu laptop from a cdrom that I got from a teach yourself MySQL, Apache, and PHP book I bought. First off there were two steps which i think i did right. The first was to mount the CD-ROM under /mnt in my file system which i did and there seems to be no problem except for the reply "mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only"
now first of all there are two things I need to explain, first of all I was superuser for all of this by using the command su at the beginning of my terminal session. Second of all the symbol "|" on my line of code above looks different from the symbol in the book. It should have a small space in the middle of it. However it looks like this on my keyboard so I am assuming it is simply a difference in text font. That is it, it would be really nice to figure out what went wrong because to be honest I am curious as to why the book is giving me code that gives multiple errors.

I have upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and I am using the classic ubuntu interface instead of Unity. I am facing problems with the Archive Manager. My problem is that I can open archives but I can not modify them or create a new zip file with the GUI. I get an error saying:
zip error: Invalid command arguments (no such option: -)
The easiest way to reproduce it is by right-clicking on any file, pressing compress and selecting .zip in the file format.

I'm not 100% sure if this is the right spot for it, but I'm having trouble unzipping files. I've downloaded a good few fonts from dafont.com, from different authors and with different browsers and I still get errors. First I opened the .zip with Archive Manager
Code:
7-Zip 9.04 beta Copyright (c) 1999-2009 Igor Pavlov 2009-05-30
p7zip Version 9.04 (locale=en_ZA.utf8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,2 CPUs)
Error: /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip: Can not open file as archive
Errors: 1
I then tried
Code:
ross@Ross-PC:~$ unzip /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip
and got this output
Code:
Archive: /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: Cannot find zipfile directory in one of /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip or /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip.zip, and cannot find /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip.ZIP, period.
I do have p7zip-full installed, but it isn't a .7zip file?

I've got a directory of geographic data with ~2,000 archives. Each archive (e.g. foo.zip) has two files, the second of which I'd like to remove:
Now, I can remove the _num.tif file with the command:
How do I do this with ALL the files in the directory? If I try the -r (recursive) option, that fails with -d.

I was messing with Openbox, LXDE, and Pekwm a couple days ago to see if I liked any of them, but I ended up coming back to gnome.
But it seems that, somehow, some of my preferred apps settings got wiped during this process.
The most annoying one, is I have no default application for archives (zip, tar.gz, etc). I can tell Ubuntu to "Open With..." and that works... but it doesn't stick.
How can I return this back to normal Ubuntu behavior?
UPDATE: It appears that nearly ALL my preferred application settings are gone. Pretty much everything except couple filetypes show up with the standard "file" icon and won't open unless I use "open with".

I'm writing a script that unzips an archive, edits it, and zips it back up.
That being said, I've got it all figured out except for the zipping it back up.
Code:
unzip file.zip -d /tmp/foobar
##regexes###
Now when i get to zipping the files back up, I don't want to include the /tmp/foobar directory I created. I want it to have the same tree as before.
I've gotten two commands to come close, but not what I want.
Code:
zip -r /tmp/file.zip /tmp/foobar/*
- this zips up the folders and files within /tmp/foobar/ however, it includes the /tmp/foobar tree.
Code:
zip -rj /tmp/file/zip /tmp/foobar/*
- this gets rid of the directories, however, it gets rid of ALL the directories, and doesn't preserve any within /tmp/foobar.
Now, by default zip will ignore /tmp/foobar if you're in that directory and running zip from there. But since this is a script I don't want to be limited to where I can run the script, or lower my standards to including changedirectory lines in my script. It seems to me like I should be able to 1-liner it.

I've been using BasKet Notepad for about two years now on a Dellbuntu Mini-9. I just installed Mint8 Xfce and finished installing all my preferred apps this morning, including Basket. Unfortunately, when I tried to import my archive from the old system (saved on a thumb), it fails to recognize it as an archive file. At first I thought it might be linked ot its apparent inability to recognize the thumb drive, so I transferred the file to the SSD, extracted it, etc. All the files are there, it seems, but the individual baskets are all saved as .html files. There doesn't seem to be any "archive" as such that I can import.
Now the weird thing is that I've imported the archive before, back into Basket on the dellbuntu version of 8.04, without any problem. What gives? This is my research. For my dissertation. While I'm heartened that it still exists, I am more than a little annoyed at the notion that I might have to cut and paste every damn basket into the system (which I've already done once when I tried to put the notes on my home desktop XP system. I am returning to the field in five weeks and really want these things accessible. Is there any help for this?

I have a 7zip archive and I would like to extract certain files from with it. Is there a way to do this without un-compressing the entire archive? I know these files exist in there because I am using the "7za l" command to view the files contained in the archive.

O need to enter a file path into a program (happens to be AcidRip DVD Extractor) of a disc that I wish to access. I have a particular ISO image that I'm mounting (happens to be a DVD I want to watch on my TV via a USB drive so I need to rip the DVD to a video file such as xvid), but when I mount it using the Archive Mounter that comes standard in Ubuntu 10.04, I can't figure out where the ^@%! it's mounted or how to set where I want to mount it.

I'm not sure weather it's possible or not, but would it be possible to make a script that goes the the directory typed into the terminal, as I'm making a script that is newbie-friendly for compiling software. Anyway, would it be possible to make the script unzip the package typed into the terminal when prompted, and if so, how.
EDIT: Also, if the user says they've already extracted the archive, but haven't compiled, could it ask the user the location of the unpacked archive.

I have a Linux host acting as an ISCSI server for a Windows box. I want to keep an off site backup, so I figure rsync will keep the ISCSI server synced with an offsite Linux host. I understand that Rsync does block level incremental transfer to conserve bandwidth ok, awesome.The trick is, that I also want an archival copy kept. Say I want to go back to a revision of a file from 10 days ago, I need to be able to do that.
I was planning on using Backup Exec, since we currently have a licensed copy. Throw the archives from Backup Exec onto the ISCSI server as well, and have it keep a rotating 30 day backup, or something like that. The issue I see here is that this will be creating a deleting files as it does its daily backup rotation. I'm guessing RSYNC will see these as new files, and likely retransmit everything on a daily basis. The question then becomes, is this assumption correct, or will it still know to do a block level incremental transfer even when file names and such are changing?

Every shortcut... every program... every link... everything opens in Archive Manager. And then it reports that the archive is not supported... I gotta launch everything directory related through a terminal just to get to navigate through a window manager.
