一般通过默认安装的ubuntu是不能解压rar文件的，只有在安装了rar解压工具之后，才可以解压。其实在ubuntu下安装rar解压工具是非常简单的，只需要两个步骤就可以迅速搞定。
ubuntu 下rar解压工具安装方法：安装解压工具
sudo apt-get install unace unrar zip unzip p7zip-full p7zip-rar sharutils rar uudeview mpack lha arj cabextract
压缩功能
安装 sudo apt-get install rar
卸载 sudo apt-get remove rar
解压功能
安装 sudo apt-get install unrar
卸载 sudo apt-get remove unrar
