Follow this guide:

As you're using Linux and can't use QuickPar you will need to use a Linux alternative prog:

Thank you for reply I tryed to use pypar2 which it looks like perfect for what I need but for some reason it doesnt detect all rar files when I attempt a repair. It will only recognize a file with the same name as the par2 file. Usually in quickpar it auto recognizes all the files consecutively idk lol. Any ideas?Originally Posted by deadlegion
OK Here is a snapshot of what I get when trying to repair using pypar2. I opened up the files so you can see that I have all parts and the par2 file in same folder. I installed pypar2 only do I need extra packages or something IDK exactly how this all works

Hmm, I guess you could use some different steps than the guide has...
Copy all the archive parts and the par2 to another folder.
Merge the archive parts into one archive with the name that the prog is looking for.
Then you might be able to repair.
Does your archive manager have an option to merge archive parts but not extract?

HjSplit will handle that if he needs it. It has a Linux version and everything:

*PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here
Thank you guys for the help I tried merging all into a single rar file but it still said the same thing it looked like it was going to work it said verifying contents and scanned the whole file but then said same message as before. I read all around many people say this program works.

Did you get the par2 file from the relevant thread? It is an attached file. Don't create your own par2.
Are you double clicking the par2 to launch pypar2? That's the way it works on windows using quickpar anyway.

Hey guys I found out how to do it and I don't need any program at all. It is all done right from the terminal.
Answer was right in front of me the whole time, I just didn't understand how to do it until now. If anyone else needs to know I will lay it all out for you.
1. Make sure you have rar, unrar and par2 packages installed... To install them just open your terminal and type this: "sudo apt-get install rar unrar par2"
2. Put all files including the par2 file in the default home folder
3. Make sure the par2 file has the same name as all the other parts.
4. Now run this command in terminal: "par2 r yourfile yourfile.*"
5. All donenow you can extract the new file and there is your ISO
