Yeah thats the one. You have to install unrar. Idk if it is WinRAR but I downloaded winrar. Don't know if thats what I'm using or not but unraring works for me. Its a bitch to find out how to do it though you have to try 50 commands to get something you want.

Anyways, OP go to a terminal window and type the following.

Code:
sudo apt-get install unrar
let it install that then type

Code:
cd Desktop
and then if your file is on the desktop that needs to be unrared type this..

Code:
unrar x filename.rar
That will unrar the file to the current directory. Might take a while its not as fast as WinRAR on Windows.
