CadCrazy Original post #1 Nov 4, 2007 at 9:22 PM Tell me any good GUI based rar/zip software for ubuntu.
M mehulved #2 Nov 4, 2007 at 9:32 PM Ark for one. There are few other front ends too. All will work as long as you have rar, unrar and zip softwares installed
QwertyManiac #3 Nov 4, 2007 at 9:37 PM CadCrazy - You already have File Roller in Ubuntu 7.10, now with Drag and Drop support. You can open all ZIP/TAR/BZIP/GZIP files. Perform this for RAR: Code: sudo apt-get install rar unrar
CadCrazy #4 Nov 4, 2007 at 9:51 PM ^^ but rar is not GUI ,its command based . i also needed it for ubuntu 6.10
Sykora #5 Nov 4, 2007 at 10:09 PM You misunderstood. Once you install rar and unrar, you can use them within the GUI of file-roller.
NucleusKore #7 Nov 4, 2007 at 10:40 PM Yes there is Peazip - *peazip.sourceforge.net/ There is a deb installer. It works with 64 bit Ubuntu too if you install it with --force-architecture
CadCrazy #8 Nov 5, 2007 at 12:27 AM I have installed file roller package but it is not listed anywhere in the menus.How to start it
praka123 #9 Nov 5, 2007 at 12:47 AM when u click on any archives which are supported file-roller opens it. u can launch file-roller via "run" dialog box pressing alt+f2
QwertyManiac #10 Nov 5, 2007 at 7:40 AM Check your menu editor, File Roller will be there (Perhaps unchecked) in Accessories. Or simply enough, just double click on the Archive file you wish to extract. And if you need to create one, just right click and choose Archive.
