Is P7zip installed right and how would I use it?


7z and 7za, from P7zip, are in /usr/bin. If I right-click on a RAR file, the 1st options is Open with Archive Manager and the 2nd is Open with another application, but P7zip isn't listed.

p7zip should be automatically used by the archive manager.

7-zip also will not open a rar file
unrar is used
p7z opens 7z files

assuming you are using ubuntu, enable the non-free repositories and then

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree
