t e c h i e - t a l k s ::: technology at its best

Many of us who have tried Fedora 13 are facing the issue of not having unrar (a basic program to untar your .tar file) because of the “free software” issue of Fedora’s repos. Hence, we get messages like:

 failed to locate unrar in path

when trying to untar a file using Ark. The easiest way to solve this issue is to add a repo with the necessary unrar files. All you need is to get root access first and paste this in your console. Or you can add this entry in your repo list manually.

Thereafter, just install unrar with yum or you GUI installer.

Hope this helps! Cheers.
