Unable to extract 7z archive
First time linux user here. Just installed Mint 14 KDE & unable to extract all 7z archives. Any tips will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Unable to extract 7z archive
To clarify; you are able to extract some 7z archives, but not some others? is there anything special about those, like do they have a password or something?
Re: Unable to extract 7z archive
None of the .7z files can be extracted at all. ZIP files extracted fine though. All archive files was created in WinXP with 7-zip.
Re: Unable to extract 7z archive
Okay, gotcha Seems 7z support is not preloaded on the KDE version, but you can easily fix that. Install the package p7zip-full to add full support for 7z files. Either use Software Manager or Synaptic to install it, or do:
Code: Select all
apt install p7zip-full
Re: Unable to extract 7z archive
Below is the output from the console :-
Another thing which I think might be ralated is that the 'Update Manager' seems to have some problem retrieving packages from the source as it shows the error below :-
Code: Select all
phoebe@phoebe-ThinkPad-T60 /media/280GB $ apt install p7zip-full
[sudo] password for phoebe:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package p7zip-full is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Re: Unable to extract 7z archive
Something is wrong with your repositories, with you using the Linux Mint release name on the Ubuntu repositories (those expect a Ubuntu release name). The following command should correct this:
Then update your repositories manually:

If no more errors, go ahead and try again to install p7zip-full.
