Arch Linux User Repository

You apparently need to be a member of the disk group to mount a filesystem as an otherwise unprivileged user.

sudo usermod -aG disk $USER

And log out and back in again.

Edit: If you experience weird missing dependency issues with fuse3 or gumbo-parser, you need to rebuild httpdirfs. rebuild-detector, which supplies checkrebuild and a pacman hook which also runs it during upgrades, can somewhat alleviate the problem of keeping AUR packages up to date, since they're not usually bumped when they need a rebuild.

Edit 2: You will also need to sudo modprobe udf if you are using a kernel configured like the Arch linux package. If this fails, it is possible that you may have installed a new kernel without rebooting into it first.

this is not working.

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/ironhak/.cache/yay/ttf-ms-win11-auto/src/' -> '': No such file or directory

and then gets stuck at:

The package failed for me, so I installed the Windows 11 fonts manually from a downloaded ISO.

Install required tools:

sudo pacman -S wimlib

Mount the ISO:

mkdir ~/win11iso
sudo mount -o loop Win11_25H2_x64_v2.iso ~/win11iso/

Check available Windows editions (image index):

wiminfo ~/win11iso/sources/install.wim

In my case, Windows 11 Pro was image index 5 (this may vary depending on the ISO).

Extract fonts:

mkdir -p ~/winfonts
wimextract ~/win11iso/sources/install.wim 5 Windows/Fonts --dest-dir ~/winfonts/

Copy fonts to user font directory:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts/windows
cd ~/winfonts/Fonts/
cp * ~/.local/share/fonts/windows/

Refresh font cache:

fc-cache -fv ~/.local/share/fonts/windows/

Cleanup (optional):

rm -rf ~/winfonts

Unmount ISO:

sudo umount ~/win11iso/

After this, the fonts were available immediately in applications. Note: This method also avoids installing the AUR package entirely and is, in my opinion, a safer and more transparent approach since it directly uses the original ISO source.

Hi, i have this error : LinkTable_print: -------------------------------------------- - Creating loop device - Mounting loop device: /dev/loop0 Object /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/loop0 is not a mountable filesystem.

A solution? Thanks

I did sudo modprobe udf and user is in group disk.

I noticed that the upstream ttf-ms-win10-auto is using a different depend for httpdirfs.

The '' link target seems a bit like a shell scripting bug? rua offers shellcheck on the PKGBUILD and it's quite noisy.

@caellian The patch is awesome! Thanks!

This package is currently not working.

Likewise asking for @caellian's changes to be made part of the official packaging, wouldn't work on a fresh Arch install until I made those changes. Thanks all!

In CachyOS, the only thing that worked for me to complete the installation were the changes made by @caellian. Thank you! I also vote in favor of implementing these changes if possible.

@caellian Thanks buddy. It worked now. httpdirfs is something much too complicated for the installation. @kode54 Could you please migrate to caellian's robust packaging method?
