Couldn't update some scripts. Error message: FIGlet or the slant font is missing.

[miketrump]

Hello
I did try to update some script with (update) command, and this is what I got:

1. massage says: FIGlet or the slant font is missing. Installing...
2. blue screen says (Support/Update functions for .│ Proceed?
3. After pressing (yes) I got:
   💡 FIGlet or the slant font is missing. Installing...
   💡 Installing FIGlet...
   ✔️ FIGlet successfully installed.
   💡 Downloading slant font...
   /usr/share/figlet/slant.flf: No such file or directory
   [ERROR] in line 286: exit code 0: while executing command wget -qO /usr/share/figlet/slant.flf "http://www.figlet.org/fonts/slant.flf"

Some script that have this issue: uptimekuma, gotify.

Thank you for helping

Download figlet font in this folder solves the Problem. Maybe apt autoremove before

Looks Like an DNS issue, i can crawl the file. You not.

Thank you for you fast response
There is no such folder, so I did create one, then download the font inside it.
Again I got same first message, then I got a new one:

  💡  FIGlet or the slant font is missing. Installing...
  💡  Installing FIGlet...
  ✔️  FIGlet successfully installed.
/dev/fd/63: line 292: figlet: command not found

Thats the Code. Try manually

   echo -e "${INFO}${BOLD}${DGN}Installing FIGlet...${CL}"

    temp_dir=$(mktemp -d)
    curl -sL https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/refs/heads/main/misc/figlet.tar.xz -o "$temp_dir/figlet.tar.xz"
    mkdir -p /tmp/figlet
    tar -xf "$temp_dir/figlet.tar.xz" -C /tmp/figlet --strip-components=1
    cd /tmp/figlet
    make >/dev/null

    if [ -f "figlet" ]; then
      chmod +x figlet
      mv figlet /usr/local/bin/
      mkdir -p /usr/local/share/figlet
      cp -r /tmp/figlet/fonts/*.flf /usr/local/share/figlet/
      echo -e "${CM}${BOLD}${DGN}FIGlet successfully installed.${CL}"
    else
      echo -e "${ERR}${BOLD}${RED}Failed to install FIGlet.${CL}"
      return 1
    fi
    rm -rf "$temp_dir"
  }

  # Check if figlet and the slant font are available
  if ! figlet -f slant "Test" &>/dev/null; then
    echo -e "${INFO}${BOLD}${DGN}FIGlet or the slant font is missing. Installing...${CL}"

    if [ -f /etc/debian_version ] || [ -f /etc/lsb-release ]; then
      # Debian/Ubuntu-based systems
      apt-get update -y &>/dev/null
      apt-get install -y wget build-essential &>/dev/null
      install_figlet

    elif [ -f /etc/alpine-release ]; then
      # Alpine-based systems
      apk add --no-cache tar xz build-base wget &>/dev/null
      export TERM=xterm
      install_figlet

    else
      echo -e "${ERR}${BOLD}${RED}Unsupported operating system.${CL}"
      return 1
    fi

    # Ensure the slant font is available
    if [ ! -f "/usr/share/figlet/slant.flf" ]; then
      echo -e "${INFO}${BOLD}${DGN}Downloading slant font...${CL}"
      wget -qO /usr/share/figlet/slant.flf "http://www.figlet.org/fonts/slant.flf"
    fi

This is what I got:

Installing FIGlet...
FIGlet successfully installed.
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
FIGlet or the slant font is missing. Installing...
bash: install_figlet: command not found

Also I did try update command again but no success.

You need to trim the Codes...

[miketrump]

Sorry I don't know what you mean by that.
Anyway I added this code to a file with no luck, so I used chatgpt to help with a got this code:

#!/bin/bash

DGN="\033[32m"
ERR="\033[31m"
RED="\033[31m"

CL="\033[0m"

install_figlet() {
  echo -e "${INFO}${BOLD}${DGN}Installing FIGlet...${CL}"

  temp_dir=$(mktemp -d)
  curl -sL https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/refs/heads/main/misc/figlet.tar.xz -o "$temp_dir/figlet.tar.xz"
  mkdir -p /tmp/figlet
  tar -xf "$temp_dir/figlet.tar.xz" -C /tmp/figlet --strip-components=1
  cd /tmp/figlet
  make >/dev/null

  if [ -f "figlet" ]; then
    chmod +x figlet
    mv figlet /usr/local/bin/
    mkdir -p /usr/local/share/figlet
    cp -r /tmp/figlet/fonts/*.flf /usr/local/share/figlet/
    echo -e "${CM}${BOLD}${DGN}FIGlet successfully installed.${CL}"
  else
    echo -e "${ERR}${BOLD}${RED}Failed to install FIGlet.${CL}"
    exit 1
  fi
  rm -rf "$temp_dir"
}

# Check if figlet and the slant font are available
if ! figlet -f slant "Test" &>/dev/null; then
  echo -e "${INFO}${BOLD}${DGN}FIGlet or the slant font is missing. Installing...${CL}"

  if [ -f /etc/debian_version ] || [ -f /etc/lsb-release ]; then

    apt-get install -y wget build-essential &>/dev/null
    install_figlet

  elif [ -f /etc/alpine-release ]; then
    # Alpine-based systems
    apk add --no-cache tar xz build-base wget &>/dev/null
    export TERM=xterm
    install_figlet

  else
    echo -e "${ERR}${BOLD}${RED}Unsupported operating system.${CL}"
    exit 1
  fi

  # Ensure the slant font is available
  if [ ! -f "/usr/share/figlet/slant.flf" ]; then

    wget -qO /usr/share/figlet/slant.flf "http://www.figlet.org/fonts/slant.flf"
  fi
fi

This time I got a success message, but it didn't fix the update issue.
