Extracting RAR files

I have theunarchiver installed but I can't extract RARs with Filsroller. I could do it before, but now it just doesn't work.
Do you have "unrar-free" installed? If that doesn't work, that means the RAR file is 3.0 and above and will sadly only work with the non-free "unrar" package which Trisquel doesn't provide.
Of course if extracting this is mission critical like for a class or whatever, there's always a way to nab the .deb from an Ubuntu multiverse repository.
The unarchiver does the work for version 3.0. Look for info in the wiki,
it has been discussed before. The unarchiver can be also integrated in
nautilus thanks to Arder's script.
What I usually do is finding an online converter and convert the *.rar file to *.tar (that is, if the *.rar file is not password protected and is not related to something private).

I thought v.3 rar is already backwards engineered? Does it work, if you install unrar-free and all updates?
The unarchiver does the work for version 3.0. Look for info in the wrong_wiki_/wrong forum,

PD: Some one should fix the communication between the mailing list and the forum. From the first to the second messagges don't arrive.
I noticed the message of the nautilus integration is in the spanish forum. You can download the nautilus script from here,

The package has a README at english, so you shouldn't have problems using it (it's really easy and pretty).

Try extracting the file via the terminal by typing "unar ./part1.rar" (first cd to the path).
This works.
I cd'd my donwloads folder and ran unar ./*.rar and it unarchived everything
