But there is a simple solution to get things done with only 2 lines of terminal code. Start your teminal: Applications/Accessories/Terminal, then enter or copy and paste line by line: (paste in terminal is SHIFT+CTRL+V)
sudo apt-get updateThat's it. Now you can use rar files in your native gnome arhive manager.
