    Unhappy Ark + Unrar Not being able to extract/compress

    Hi, Ive been using Fedora since F12, also Slackware user.
    Today I did a clean install of Fedora Workstation 21 (KDE Spin) but Im having troubles with Ark and Rar Files


    Im being unable to compress/extract rar files.

    I tried to remove/reinstall, both, ark and unrar. But still:

    Loading the archive'PATH_TO_ARCHIVE'.rar failed with the following error: Failed to locate program lsar on disk.



    Already installed Development Tools, Libraries, and some extras...

    Any ideas?

    Re: Ark + Unrar Not being able to extract/compress

    When this sort of thing happens and you get a message saying something like "program X can not be found" your best tool option is "yum provides" which will tell you which missing or installed package supplies the necessary X

    yum provides \*/lsar

    the backslash asterisk is used to make sure the provides search isn't limited to a particular path. Also in this case we may not even know where Fedora would put 'lsar'

    Doing that I get:
    yum provides \*/lsar
    unar-1.8.1-5.fc21.x86_64 : Multi-format extractor
    Repo : fedora
    Matched from:
    Filename : /usr/bin/lsar
    Filename : /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/lsar
    Which points out the package you want to install as 'unar'

    If you've been using Fedora that long, you know you'll have to install unrar from the Fusion non-free repo then.

    Whoops, sorry. I completely failed on reading comprehension there.
