Ubuntu

Cannot install mscorefonts

Asked by Marius Groenewald

After installing the ttf-mscorefonts-installer, the Debconf window appears stating: Declined "TrueType core fonts for the Web EULA", but nowhere during the installation it asked me to Accept or Decline. If I click on Continue, after what feels like a minute, another window pops up, stating that the downloading of extra data files failed. I clicked on the button to carry out the action now, but the Terminal window just closes suddenly while it is busy downloading the files, without completing the task.
