help fixing rar 5 format

hi
im trying to run YACReader on ubuntu 24.04 and it works very good
but some files will not open for some reason so I downloaded the app with wine
and that was good until it crashes and it will not run for a full day
and then I tried docker I wanted to see if it has the same error so I tried it and when I open the files
it will not open and when I see the loges I see the error message
"rar 5.x format isn't supported"
so I download what I need but still YACReader will not open these files

so can anyone help me fix this

YACReader supports to be built using 3 different decompression libraries: 7zip, unarr and libarchive. Sadly unarr doesn’t support RAR5 and that’s probably the build you are using because those are the packages available.

I don’t do the linux packages distribution myself, so there is not much I can do.

You can try to build YACReader by yourself using 7zip (which is the library used in Windows and macOS) or libarchive, the later will be probably easier.

If I have time I will try to create a tutorial or some script to do it…

unfortunately I don't know how to do that

I've created a couple of scripts to compile and install YACReader with support for RAR5, Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04

github.com/YACReader/yacreader/tree/develop/build_scripts

Pick the one for your system version, and make it executable with chmod +x build.sh, then run it like ./build.sh develop

Let me know if it works...

im having this error:

E: The repository ' ppa.launchpadcontent.net/kelleyk/emacs/ubuntu noble Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8 ) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

It sounds to me like you added that PPA yourself (?) and now you can do apt-get update because that one is broken, I think you need to remove it to continue, this is not related to YACReader or the script I create at all and you won't be able to use apt-get update until you solve this issue.

You may want to try some of these options to remove that PPA: askubuntu.com/questions/307/how-can-ppas-be-removed

hi i try it now
and it does not work i dont know if i need to download something before or not

and also if i open a file that will not work the app will lag and the whole os and then the error window and i need to force close it sense the window will not close

and how can i delete the app ? (if you know) i want to redownload

sorry to bother you
but will you do another scripts ?

I don’t plan to, I tested the ones I posted in Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 using WSL on Windows 11 and I was able to read comics just fine, so I don’t know why the app doesn’t run properly in your case, I don’t have a dedicated machine to test it.

I think the open source community should be dealing with the packaging for Linux, I can’t do it by myself, and I’ve been asking for help with this since 2009.
