Re: N900 Zip and Rar files
 

I think he was talking about a GUI instead of a CLI. I'm a noobie as well and the command line for us still is very unfamiliar. For now, I'll give it a try, but could I screw up my N900 doing so? And does anybody know if there's a GUI app for it?

sorry but yes that's what I was referring too, haha, I'll ask my momma but she's too busy cooking the lamb today.

Though I can work through the Terminal (coming from Windows)... a GUI would be more useful honestly... with a few buttons (extract,add to archive, etc.) and a nice icon...

Re: N900 Zip and Rar files
 

agreed! and extract to and quickly get to the folder that I want.. instead of wasting time and 2 hands to type the full path!! luckly I do have 2 hands to do it otherwise I would be screwed...

I would also like to now how do I make a zip file?

Re: N900 Zip and Rar files
 

What happen to unrar in the application manager. i had it downloaded on my previous n900 but had to send it back to nokia for a replacement because the usb port broke. Well anyways I got it back now and pretty much installed most of my apps, but i cant seem to find the unrar app. I have all the repo's activated and didnt find it. I even tried using X terminal but i get an error message stating that E: could get lock/var/lib/dpkg/lock. And another error message stating E: unable to lock the administrator directory is another process using it. Even tried using the command jishin posted but still recieve the unable to lock administration message.

Someone pls help.

Re: N900 Zip and Rar files
 

I was wondering, if there is a way, using these programs /7zip/unrar etc to extract a rar combination with different parts. The goal is to extract a movie, avi. It is compressed in 10 parts of rar files.. is it possible to extract example: ddf.part1.rar ddf.part2.rar they all contain small parts of the big movie.. if you know what i mean..

Re: N900 Zip and Rar files
 

I've not used 7zip so I can't speak for that, but unrar certainly handles multi-volume RAR files without any problem. Just give it the first RAR file and it'll find the others automatically.

Re: N900 Zip and Rar files
 

Could you give me the correct unrar program to install? Or the command lines to extract a specific rar? So I'm not doing it wrong.

Thanks
