Problems with ark-trinity and octet-stream

Rademes · 2015-12-14 13:32

Good day!
I had problems with ark-trinity, which for some reasons could not extract my rar archives, while unrar did it perfectly, so I uninstalled ark-trinity and installed ark (KDE4). But now I have problem with octet-stream errors, which appears every time I start OS, open file manager or even click on files. What should I do?

This topic should be helpful https://sourceforge.net/p/q4os/discussi … /3b3a64d4/ specifically this point https://sourceforge.net/p/q4os/discussi … 64d4/#adee

Start konqueror->settings->file associations and under application add the schema octet-stream, leaving unknown as decription.

You are allowed to ask direct e-mail support at support@q4os.org with your support code.

By the way, you can attach screenshots, reports and other files here, if preferred.

Problem solved, thank you!
Launched Q4OS in Live mode, the schema octet-stream exists there. So why it was deleted in installed system I don`t know...

In addition, you don't need to install 'ark' package, if you want to extract 'rar' archives. You need to remove 'unrar' package, and install 'unrar-free' and 'ark-trinity' packages. You will be able to open rar archives using ark-trinity and konqueror file manager.

Terminal commands:
$ sudo apt-get autoremove unrar ark
$ sudo apt-get install unrar-free ark-trinity

The reason I uninstalled ark-trinity and installed unrar is because ark-trinity could not unpack some of my archives.
Today running Q4OS in Live mode I realized, that it is more likely because unrar-free can not work with archives, which contain russian (non latin) symbols in their names. So I assume that it is unrar-free bug.
Archives with only latin symbols in their names unpacked perfectly using unrar-free. Also using unrar I could unpack all my archives, so they were not corrupted.

An error was encountered

Yes, it will be probably 'unrar-free' bug.

Can not find unrar-free authors web page. Do you know, where I should address this bug?
Also Extract Here option in Konqueror would be very useful.

Yes, 'extract here' in konqueror is desired feature, we would like to add it in the future.

Great, reporting bugs is very helpful for community.

Looks like unrar-free utility is not maintained. The latest version is dated 2004-06-01, and last response on bug report was in 2006. TEN years ago!
So is it possible to make ark-trinity to use unrar (non-free version by Alexander Roshal) instead of 10 years unmaintained and bugged unrar-free?
Krusader 1.90.0 uses unrar without any problems.
P.S. Removed unrar-free from my system.

We will investigate this option.

I know about Krusader, but most new users try Konqueror first, because it is more user-friendly. And ark-trinity is running under Konqueror. Krusader is for experienced users.

Need to bump this topic, because It is very important for me.
I have to unpack RAR archives quite often, almost all of them contain non latin symbols in their names, and ark-trinity simply can not unpack them, because it uses unrar-free!
So I asked:

Six months passed. Is it any movement for solving this problem? It is very important for me. Now I have to use command line to work with unrar.

As far as we know, it's not easily possible to make ark-trinity to use 'unrar' package. Unrar-free continues to be maintained by the Debian developers in conformance to Debian QA, see https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/unrar-free . You can report bugs directly at Debian bug-tracking system.
