Question #77978 on gnome-terminal in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+question/77978
actionparsnip proposed the following answer: if you run: sudo apt-get install unrar rar You can now handle rar files just fine WinRAR is for windows. When you type your password, nothing s shown. This is a security feature so people cannot see the length of your password when using the terminal. This is kinda pointless though, as when gksudo or kdesudo are used, the length is visible Oh well. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
