For some reason my terminal will not allow me to accept, or for some reason I am pressing the wrong hotkey... I've tried every letter on the keyboard and Enter among others... I'm sure there is a very simple and obvious solution to this.



I've also just tried to remove the package completely however the terminal states that due to the package not being correctly installed, I should reinstall the package before removing it. Very frustrating! Essentially, because I cannot successfully install this package, I can't really ever upgrade my system because I always have to end up terminating the terminal with the license agreement (thus the upgrade fails).

          It's  ⇆ TAB , then return ↵.



          :-)




          In general, to navigate ncurses-style menus:



          • Use the Tab key to move from one element (e.g., button, text box) to the next. Use Shift+Tab to move in reverse.

          • Use Spacebar to "click" the selected button.

          • Use Enter to click the default button (or currently selected button, if there is no default).

          • You can move up and down in a textbox with the arrow keys, and with Page Up and Page Down. If that doesn't work, press Tab until the text box you want to navigate in is selected.

          If you've accidentally said you don't agree to the EULA, and you want a chance to review it again and agree, you can reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer, purging its global configuration files:



          sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

          Normal install, deploying or in scripts



          Use debconf to preset the selection. This will not prompt to accept the license:



          echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula select true | sudo debconf-set-selections
          sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer


          With Kickstart



          Add this to your Kickstart.cfg file:



          preseed --owner ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula boolean true

            @king_julien: no, --quiet will not accept the license, so that should not be an option without echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula select true | sudo debconf-set-selections!

          You can also accept the license with a single command like this:



          echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula select true | debconf-set-selections


          This will avoid creating the conf file.



          If your using puppet, here is a recipe for installing the package:



          class unifocus-context::msfonts 
          exec "accept-msttcorefonts-license":
          command => "/bin/sh -c "echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted- mscorefonts-eula select true

          package "msttcorefonts":
          ensure => installed,
          require => Exec['accept-msttcorefonts-license']

            Some people may find this question when searching for help installing ubuntu-restricted-extras (or when their questions accepting a EULA for ubuntu-restricted-extras are closed as a duplicate of this question).



            ubuntu-restricted-extras is a metapackage that exists solely to install other packages.



            One of those packages is ttf-mscorefonts-installer. That's the one you must agree to a EULA to finish installing. It fetches Microsoft fonts and installs them on your system.



            • To agree to the EULA, use the Tab key to switch from "button" to "button" in the non-graphical "window", and either the Spacebar ("clicks" the selected "button") or the Enter key ("clicks" the "default" button). You can move up and down in the EULA with the arrow keys and with Page Up and Page Down.



            • If you've accidentally said you don't agree to the EULA, and you want a chance to review it again and agree, you can reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer, purging its global configuration files:



              sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer



            • If you decide you don't want those fonts at all (or are unwilling to accept the EULA for them), but you do want the other packages provided by ubuntu-restricted-extras, then remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer and make sure you have the other packages and that they're set to manually installed (so they don't go away in an autoremove after ubuntu-restricted-extras is removed with ttf-mscorefonts-installer):



              sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer
              sudo apt-get update
              sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-addons gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse libavcodec-extra-53 unrar

            It's  ⇆ TAB , then return ↵.



            :-)




            In general, to navigate ncurses-style menus:



            • Use the Tab key to move from one element (e.g., button, text box) to the next. Use Shift+Tab to move in reverse.

            • Use Spacebar to "click" the selected button.

            • Use Enter to click the default button (or currently selected button, if there is no default).

            • You can move up and down in a textbox with the arrow keys, and with Page Up and Page Down. If that doesn't work, press Tab until the text box you want to navigate in is selected.

            If you've accidentally said you don't agree to the EULA, and you want a chance to review it again and agree, you can reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer, purging its global configuration files:



            sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

            You can also accept the license with a single command like this:



            echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula select true | debconf-set-selections


            This will avoid creating the conf file.



            If your using puppet, here is a recipe for installing the package:



            class unifocus-context::msfonts 
            exec "accept-msttcorefonts-license":
            command => "/bin/sh -c "echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted- mscorefonts-eula select true

            package "msttcorefonts":
            ensure => installed,
            require => Exec['accept-msttcorefonts-license']

              You can also accept the license with a single command like this:



              echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula select true | debconf-set-selections


              This will avoid creating the conf file.



              If your using puppet, here is a recipe for installing the package:



              class unifocus-context::msfonts 
              exec "accept-msttcorefonts-license":
              command => "/bin/sh -c "echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted- mscorefonts-eula select true

              package "msttcorefonts":
              ensure => installed,
              require => Exec['accept-msttcorefonts-license']

                    Some people may find this question when searching for help installing ubuntu-restricted-extras (or when their questions accepting a EULA for ubuntu-restricted-extras are closed as a duplicate of this question).



                    ubuntu-restricted-extras is a metapackage that exists solely to install other packages.



                    One of those packages is ttf-mscorefonts-installer. That's the one you must agree to a EULA to finish installing. It fetches Microsoft fonts and installs them on your system.



                    • To agree to the EULA, use the Tab key to switch from "button" to "button" in the non-graphical "window", and either the Spacebar ("clicks" the selected "button") or the Enter key ("clicks" the "default" button). You can move up and down in the EULA with the arrow keys and with Page Up and Page Down.



                    • If you've accidentally said you don't agree to the EULA, and you want a chance to review it again and agree, you can reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer, purging its global configuration files:



                      sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer



                    • If you decide you don't want those fonts at all (or are unwilling to accept the EULA for them), but you do want the other packages provided by ubuntu-restricted-extras, then remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer and make sure you have the other packages and that they're set to manually installed (so they don't go away in an autoremove after ubuntu-restricted-extras is removed with ttf-mscorefonts-installer):



                      sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer
                      sudo apt-get update
                      sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-addons gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse libavcodec-extra-53 unrar
