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.

@RashadGasimli I'd guess you need to manually unmount the path where this iso file is mounted. In my case it's mounted at /run/media/%username%/CENA_X64FREE_EN-US_DV9.

Hello guys, how can I fix this issue?

I had some trouble building in a chroot without udisks running and to bypass the unprivilegedMountAllowed check in general. Here are some proposed changes to make it work. :)

• Fix an undetected pipefail from piping udisksctl into awk. (The awk command is successful even if the udisksctl command fails, which makes the whole expression true.)
• Fix running loop-delete even when the loop-setup has initially failed.
• Fix the _unprivilegedMountAllowed check always being true. (The string false is matched as a non-zero value and hence always interpreted as true.)

@mdjake Yes, unfortunately, the stock build process uses udisks to mount the disk images without root privileges. You can alter the PKGBUILD, but it will have to be built as root somehow.

Hi!

I've failed to install this package through an ssh connection. However I've managed to install it flawlessly by sitting down in front of my computer and logging into it interactively.

I got this error when update to the newest version

==> Removing existing $srcdir/ directory...
rm: cannot remove '/home/dingisoul/.cache/yay/ttf-ms-win11-auto/src/mnt/http': Is a directory

==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting...

However, I don't see this rm command in PKGBUILD. Can friends tell me how to fix it. Thanks !!!

Hi everyone,

I am tryin to update to the latest version of this package but I got the following error message

install: cannot stat 'wingding.ttf': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package_ttf-ms-win11-auto().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: ttf-ms-win11-auto-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
ttf-ms-win11-auto - exit status 4

The part of install: cannot stat 'wingding.ttf': No such file or directory appears for other fonts, such as arial.

Any advice on how to get this update completed? I have all deps updated, so I don't think it would be on that side.

UPDATE: Forgot to comment that system is failing to create SymLinks: ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/jalejotorresm/.cache/yay/ttf-ms-win11-auto/src/' -> '': No such file or directory

Not sure if this could also be impacting the process, any lead is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for all the help.

Huh, I noticed, I don't have it installed, either.

I do have this in my kernel configuration:

CONFIG_UDF_FS=m

That's odd, I don't have udftools installed and have no problems installing.

I will add it as a make dependency.
