This package is based on ttf-ms-win10. It differs in that it automatically downloads the fonts from Microsoft, if possible without downloading an entire ISO file.

If Polkit allows the user to create loop devices and mount files using udisks, around 200 MB of (mostly compressed) data will be downloaded. This can be a slow download method even over the fastest connections, since the fonts are taken from a large ISO file without downloading the entire file.

If Polkit is not available or it does not allow the user to use udisks, the entire ISO file will be downloaded and install.wim will be extracted. A check ensures that enough temporary disk space is available, which can be up to twice the size of the ISO file. This can happen if either Polkit or an authentication agent is not running, or when a user is logged in remotely (e.g. through SSH).

I'm getting "loopX is not a mountable filesystem" message before failing to build the package when using yay. This is the output I'm getting from prepare():

- Mount filesystems as a non-privileged user: allowed

I noticed that particular message because I get the same message when I run "udisksctl unmount -b /dev/loop0" after the build failure.

Seeing that you mentioned building in a clean chroot in other replies, I tried that too, and it worked probably because loop device was not used:

- Examininging locally available fonts
- Fonts are missing
- Mount filesystems as a non-privileged user: not allowed
- Preparing download of full ISO
...

Do you happen to know what could be causing the error? Not that I care too much because I probably won't have to update this package for a while, but I am curious why this is happening.

@Zepman: Thanks, I'll have a look.

But first:

Do you build in a Chroot?

I think this package is broken, because when I try to install this via yay everything went fine but after I believe the near end it returns with an error saying it failed to make ttf-ms-win10-auto-exit

@knuxyl thanks for the report. Do you call makepkg manually or do you use an AUR helper?

Do you use a clean chroot?

knuxyl commented on 2024-08-31 19:18 (UTC)

This doesn't work. It errors saying /dev/loop0 or whichever is already mounted, which was mounted by this pkgbuild. I had to manually umount the http and /dev/loop mounts, restarted, tried again, same problem. The loop device is mounted with the iso file this script downloads, and then complains it's already mounted and fails.

Hey @carlosal1015,

while not pretty there's no way to prevent this warnings to appear at the moment.

Please read the instructions in the PKGBUILD before reporting:

Please ignore any 'ln' errors when building this package. This is expected  behavior.

Thanks!

To whom it may concern: Don't feed the troll. Thanks :)

@RubenKelevra Noob? It sounds like you're the noob here since you can't even manage to make a working PKGBUILD.
