Description Pierre Pardot 2007-04-03 22:09:40 UTC

Version:           2.6.4 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When I want to extract multipart RAR archives password protected Ark says: "An error ocurred while trying to open the archive". The file to select for extraction is file.rar and the other are automatically selected, like archive.r00 and so on. I have tried "unrar e file.rar" and prompts for password and extracts the multipart archive correctly.

Comment 1 Fabio Albieri 2007-05-26 12:05:15 UTC

Exactly same scenario, exactly same problem. No dialog even shows to ask the password, just the error log which shows tha for each failed file a password is required - quite ironic :D

Comment 2 Unknown 2007-08-01 18:06:09 UTC

the problem appears also with single-part rar archives. With the command line tool rar or unrar it prompts for the password.

see also https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdeutils/+bug/129729
for a example archive

kubuntu 7.04
kde 3.5.6
ark 2.6.4
RAR 3.70 beta 1

It was time to be marked as new!

Comment 5 Philippe Cloutier 2008-05-09 03:50:04 UTC

This seems to be a duplicate of #135099.

Comment 6 Johannes M. Wagner 2008-10-06 18:49:25 UTC

i confirm that with:

kubuntu 8.10
kde 4.0.2
ark 2.10.999
rar 3.8b2-2

unrar e FILENAME works quite fine.

tested with trunk 905861:
ark is be able to extract password protected rar files with encrypted headers.

create multipart archive from ubuntu iso with following command:
rar a -v10000k -hp ubuntu.rar ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso

and successful extract the 71 parts rar archive with ark

Then this issue can probably be closed

Comment 9 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2009-04-15 05:47:30 UTC

I could not extract single or multipart rar files created with -hp here with trunk. Ark just stands frozen waiting for command line input for the rar utility.

Even though this bug is older, I'm marking it as a DUPLICATE of bug 188556 because the latter has got a more direct description of the problem.

Comment 10 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2009-04-15 05:49:57 UTC

Oh, and currently the problem only seems to happen with files encrypted with -hp. -p works fine.
