Ark not unpacking .rars correctly

Hi!

I’ve tried with several files now, I have a series of .r01 .r02 files
etc.

When I open Ark it says the file is maybe 698 mb, but will sometimes
only unpack around 315 mb, then maybe 450 mb.

Any clues?

Have you tried adding the rar package? I found it works better.

Yep, no difference

It seems then that it is not recognizing the fact that the file has been
split. You need a program that will join them.
I haven’t looked for a linux utility, but in windows hjsplit works
well. It does run under wine.

Just tried unpacking them via unrar and terminal, seems fine that way

WinRAR works great under wine.

I’ve noticed that ark has trouble with rar files with a space in the
filename.
Aku isn’t any different.

The one gui program that seems to work flawlessly is file-roller.
No problems with spaces in filenames or whatever archive.

  1. f**k wine –
  2. ark DOES NOT automatically unrar ALL the split files (no spaces in
    filenames, too)
  3. solution was to use command line unrar_e_archivename.rar

Has anyone posted a bug yet?

After installing “unrar” not “rar” with yast, I have an extract option
on the right click menu in konqueror that unpacks multiple rar archives.
Right click on the file with the “.rar” extension not one of the
numbered ie “.r01, .r02” files.
For numbered archives that aren’t rar’s such as .001, .002 try
installing p7zip, it has to be run from a console though and as I recall
it has problems with spaces in filenames. You can do batch file renaming
with krename to fix a long list of names quickly, so it might help to
install it too.

I hate workarounds to problems that never existed before, until
developers messed up the code so much that MORE bugs are created. There
ought to be progress, not retrogression! Easier - not MORE difficult.
Fewer – not more – bugs.

Sorry - rough day.

xarchiver will do the job, this is a part of xfce DE.
it is light weight too.

install unrar
use xarchiver to open any of the rar.xx files, (if your files are
splitted into many small rar files - open any file)
and extract

or try
unrar e -v filename.rar

ark always fails when it comes to rar files.
xrchiver is a best option
for 11.1 once it worked.
