Just extract the first one if the file is split across volumes

More specifically, make sure your archives are all in the same directory, open the first archive with Archive Manager and tell it to extract the file (and pick where you want to save it). It should then proceed to go through all the partial archives automatically.

strange, must be the file that is dmg or something, its a total of 109MB but i only get a 10 MB pdf that i cant open
truncated rar data

Or you do not have all the partfiles. Happened to me once.
It is also possible that you have to start with the last partfile. Some old warez-style packaging was like that.

if it's a rar file (I've heard decoding them is sometimes hit and miss on linux) get Wine installed and then get WinRar to run it via WINE

Actually, if it is a RAR file, sudo apt install libunrar5.

rar is rather proprietary, so it may have needed that special library that Curunir mentioned

still odd, I can open rar files with ark on plasma
no need for winrar unless it's an odd rar file

if i want to remove all apps that can extract rar files, what command can i use? want to remowe Winrare (Wine) and install the mint version from scratch to see if that works

there's no winrar for mint

Installed it true Wine to see if that worked (and it did)
