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.

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?

Running individual commands as root this still fails in _unprivilegedMountAllowed branch. What ended up working for me was skipping the optimization you've done with udisksctl and just using 7z e -aoa "${_isoFile}" sources/install.wim. Both udisksctl loop-setup and mount -t udf,iso13346 -o loop fail when trying to mount the file from httpdirfs filesystem. When ISO is downloaded to a local FS, mounting works, and I can use 7z to extract sources/install.wim from http FS, but stacking them doesn't work (consistently?). udisksctl loop-setup actually reports an error on my system but it's ignored by the script.

Unpacking install.wim with 7z takes much longer obviously, but it's still better than downloading the whole root ISO which is what most people reporting issues here end up doing. I propose you remove double mounts and just use 7z on the mounted ISO as it ends up being quicker than both debugging the PKGBUILD or downloading the ISO manually.

Ok, I'm using CachyOS. So I run sudo usermod -aG disk $USER Reboot sudo modprobe udf

Then I run the install of this package and got errors: For every font: ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/me/.cache/paru/clone/ttf-ms-win11-auto/src/' -> '': No such file or directory

And last one:
