Re: unrar on x-terminal
 

Yes.. but you aren't going to find a menu item for it.. it's command line only.

Re: unrar on x-terminal
 

Yes, it should be working now. Don't forget to exit out of root mode before unpacking the archive, and disable the -testing and -devel repositories unless you're prepared to accept the risks of using them.

Re: unrar on x-terminal
 

can anyone help me unrar a file i have on mass memory, none of the other info applies to me cos i dont use xterm, way too technical for me that! the command line app mentioned earlier is not in the repos anymore anyway, i installed the unzip via filemanager app instead but that dont work, im really conserned bout the lack of being able to do this using a simple app that is already available for most other phones

Re: unrar on x-terminal
 

There's no other way to do it!

First you need to install unara:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install unrar

then cd to the directory you want

unrar e *name of file*.rar

Re: unrar on x-terminal
 

cheers for the reply bro, but what does CD to the directory actually mean? and how do i do that?
its at that point where i usually just quit and give up with xterm!
