Just an FYI for anybody using NzbGet on Ubuntu 18.04 and having consistent failed unpacks :
The supplied unrar immediately dumps on use by NzbGet.
You mean the unrar supplied by *Ubuntu 18.04*? On my Ubuntu 18.04 I have:
Code: Select all
$ unrar | head -2
UNRAR 5.50 freeware Copyright (c) 1993-2017 Alexander Roshal
... but I'm not sure that is the one provided by Ubuntu, as I might have installed it afterwards.
All you have to do to fix this is do a apt-get install unzip ( I would go ahead and do apt-get install p7zip-full also )
After install to get the path where the new commands are do a "which unrar" and "which 7z" and then supply those for use by nzbget on the Unpack tab in settings. Save and then reload NzbGet. Everything should work fine now.
Hope this helps at least 1 person.
So you're saying that installing unzip gives a better unrar executable? I don't understand, because unzip does not contain any unrar; see
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/unzip/filelist
I'm posting this, because I did two downloads with nzbget 20-testing, and both failed with "Unpack for <blabla> failed.", and a manual "unrar x" worked perfectly in both cases, so I'm puzzled ...
EDIT: see below. Short: the unrar provided by nzbget-20-testing crashes, whereas the unrar provided Ubuntu is correct. That explains all of the above. NO NEED to install unzip.
