no shit winrar doesn't work, IT'S FOR WINDOWS !!!
anyway, go into a terminal window, cd into your desktop (can use ls to list directories and files) then type unrar filename or unrar -x file
unrar didn't work for me until I downloaded WinRAR. Winrar isn't only windows if you go to it on Linux it lets you download the linux version im pretty sure.Quote:

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.Quote:

let it install that then typeCode:sudo apt-get install unrar
and then if your file is on the desktop that needs to be unrared type this..Code:cd Desktop
That will unrar the file to the current directory. Might take a while its not as fast as WinRAR on Windows.Code:unrar x filename.rar
