I’ve written a tool for unrar extraction in python. Basically you can feed it with *.rar and it will do the rest for you. Additionally it can perform cleanup after a successful extraction including a working partYX.rar detection and it’s got passwordfile support. For usage use -h
For install make it executable and put it into /usr/bin or wherever you like.
Depends on:
- Unrar (non-free-version) 3.80
- Python
Download it here:
http://unrarallpy.sourceforge.net/
or (maybe outdated)

“What does this do?” It sucks in air!
- Tries to move all files out of the marked folder
- Tries to remove the (now empty) dir
- [If something cannot be done (no sufficent rights, file already exists, directory could not be emptied) it won’t (should not) do it]
Its released under the GPLv2. Use it at your own risk. There should be no dataloss (except the marked directory itself) because all used commands take care of remaining (already existing) files.
#!/bin/bash
SAVEIFS=$IFS
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")
FILES=${NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS}
for FILE in ${FILES} ; do
if [ -d ${FILE} ]; then
cd "${FILE}"
mv -n * ..
cd ..
rmdir "${FILE}"
fi
done
IFS=$SAVEIFS
Have fun!

Hint:
Transmission has two (not one) places where it stores information about its torrents.
- ~/.transmission
- ~/.config/.transmission

The speed firefox handles multiple tabs, popup-windows and the content itself is much better under vista than in (gtk-world) linux. Kind of frustration. But there is swiftfox, an optimized version of firefox for linux (and its different architectures) and I should have found this thing much earlier!
Update
It seems as if there is no satisfying method of getting flash-sound running under a 64 bit system … :/

According to this site i just speeded up my firefox by disabling IPv6. It has a recognizeable effect, but i’m still a littlebit disappointed with the slow (gtk?) opening of new tabs and windows… A 2×2,9 ghz intel dualcore 4gb should do better…

I just updated ubuntu from hardy heron to intrepid ipex. I experienced a loss of all torrents of transmission because of its update from 1.06 to 1.34. To finish active torrents
- Remove the current transmission (but NOT “completely”) (Synaptic)
- Uncheck all repositories (Synaptic)
- Download the following hardy version from http://packages.ubuntu.com
- transmission
- transmission-common
- transmission-cli
- transmission-gtk
- Install them (they will complain about the wrong order)
- Lock the version (Synaptic)
- Check all previous repositories
When you completed all active downloads just unlock transmission with synaptics and update.

I found a tiny little usefull backup tool called rdiff-backup. Unfortunately it has no gui, but it just works
I also tried flyback, but this tool copied everything instead of linking it (like it should do), which was pretty nasty when a high amount of files is copied.
