SABnzbd Forums

HI, since my source for usenet binaries is creating the archives using WinRaR5.x, my sabnzbd+ installation can't manage to unpack them by itself anymore.
"Unusable RaR file"
I am not really sure how to get it work. I updated my system winrar binaries to 5.10b4 ( rar --h ) and unpacking the same files via terminal works fine now (rar e blablabla.rar)
Does sabnzbd+ bring it's own winrar binaries?

Version: 0.7.17
OS: Elementary OS Luna (stable,Ubuntu based,latest updates installed)
Install-type: Ubuntu repo
Skin (if applicable): smpl
Firewall Software: none
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

We only include unrar with the Windows and OSX distributions.
We cannot do this for other systems, so we use what's installed on your system.
I advise to get RAR from the WinRAR people directly: http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm
Just install the full package for Linux. The unrar part is free, rar will only work when you pay.

I did, as mentioned in my first post. WinRaR on my system is updated to
5.10b4 (source was the rarlab binaries) and works via terminal.
But sabnzbd+ on my system still can't unpack them.

You installed winrar binaries on your Linux system? From where, and how?
And that's version 5.10b5?

What is your output of "unrar | head -4"?

Grml, "problem" solved. Sometimes even linux needs a complete reboot.
Restarting only sabnzbd+ did not help. Previous failed downloads upacked successfully.
