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.

what can i do to fix ln erorrs?

Hi @ston, can you explain the issue you're facing in more detail?

I've no idea if this totally works, patches (preferred) or suggestions are welcome.

This package is based on ttf-ms-win11 and ttf-ms-win10-auto. Like it's predecessor, ttf-ms-win10-auto, it differs from ttf-ms-win11 in that it automatically downloads the fonts from Microsoft, if possible without downloading the entire ISO file.

It uses newer and faster httpdirfs, so downloads usually aren't that slow. For reference, it takes less than 2 minutes to download fonts then build and install the package on my system which gets maximum internet speed of ~5MiB/s.

Please ignore any 'ln' related errors, that is expected behaviour.

[Copied from ttf-ms-win10-auto]: 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).

In case you are running on arm / aarch64 (e.g. Apple Silicon M1 / Asahi Linux) and run into:

fuse: missing mountpoint parameter

That is because the current httpdirfs release 1.2.3 (which this package here depends on for building) is not compatible with arm / aarch64 yet, however upstream has a fix merged already. For now you, until a new httpdirfs release arrives, can build your own httpdirfs package, I provided a fork with the fix, see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/httpdirfs#comment-880071

Can you separate simsunb.ttf, simsun.ttf, from zh_cn, these two fonts will affect the normal operation of wine programs! The only solution is to remove the fonts from /usr/share/fonts/. Almost no one continues to use these two fonts!

@LittleYe233 You can safely ignore the ln* errors, it is also written in PKGBUILD: "Please ignore any 'ln' errors when building this package. This is expected behavior." Anyone installing this package should read the PKGBUILD first if you have doubts or questions. The ln* errors are because the PKGBUILD inherits most of the logic from older ttf-ms-win10-auto and this is expected behaviour in that package.

This package already installs fonts in /usr/share/fonts. You also don't need to do run fc-cache, it is automatically done by pacman on install.

It still throws ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/<User>/.cache/yay/ttf-ms-win11-auto/src/' -> '': No such file or directory warnings when I install the package via yay. Manually copy/move the font files from ~/.cache/yay/ttf-ms-win11-auto/src to /usr/share/fonts and fc-cache -fv can solve the problem.

@loryeam thank you, it works now <3
