hi,
I can extract the password protected files using command line (unrar e -p “file”).
but is there any way to do it using any gui app like ark?

Ark and file-roller will do this just fine.
Since i’m using KDE desktop i’m not sure I can use ‘file-roller’.
ark doen’t work, I tried that one.
Is this any bug in ark.

when was the last time you updated KDE, and which version are you using? i
remember that ark didn’t want to start for a while, with no error message
from the command line, during an update from one minor KDE version to
another, while the repos hadn’t finished publishing yet. that got solved
though.
and you definitely can use file-roller, but you may have to install a
couple of dependencies. in my case it wouldn’t require any additional
dependencies, but i’ve already got a few GNOME app.s installed on my KDE
desktop. one package i would be careful with is tracker, since that might
switch on some background file scanning which could put strain on your
system.

Just open the rar file with ark on KDE by clicking on it, when you
select to unpack the files it gives you a dialog to enter the password
(at least it does that for me with ark 2.18.

It’s been like that for ages. Click unpack, enter password, done.
My ark is 2.16.
more over, the file name(of the content) is also encrypted in the rar file.
When I tried to open the file, it stuck. Don’t prompt for any password.
I can send you one such file, if u gave me the address, or suggest any way to share it.
