<davexunit>whoa, the guix system reconfigure patch that civodul pushed a couple hours agois awesome! *davexunit just booted guix on bare metal <davexunit>I couldn't even figure out how to shut my computer down, but it was cool! <zerwas>davexunit: haha why couldn't you figure it out? No "halt" or "shutdown" available? <davexunit>zerwas: no shutdown, I actually didn't check for halt. <zerwas>Ctrl+Alt+Del could do the trick for a proper reboot <davexunit>I'm building another image in hopes that I can get networking to work. <davexunit>I bet I didn't fix the issue, but I changed the static IP settings to be valid. <davexunit>there's no DHCP networking service and I'm not feeling adventurous enough to write my own. <davexunit>I'm just happy that it booted. I was amazed. <zerwas>Getting closer to a fully functional operating system \\o/ <davexunit>yeah, it just needs a few more conveniences and it will be good enough to dual-boot or something. <jmd>How can I get package -l (or similar command) to show the synopsis and/or descriptions? <civodul>jmd: i use "guix package -s '' | recsel -p synopsis" or similar <civodul>"guix package -A" just shows one line per package <civodul>"guix package -s" gives all the details <jmd>guix package -s guix | recsel -P description | cockney <jmd>guix package -i talkfilters <jmd>Oh right. Not pushed yet. <jmd>TonyGazelle: No. Noone at all. <TonyGazelle>I just discovered this project and thought it was neat. So figured <TonyGazelle>Well you folks are probably relatively busy. Just peaked my interest is all. Not trying to be a bother. <Steap>Can we finally use the Debian libgcrypt when running configure ? <Steap>Not sure whether this has been patched <TonyGazelle>Quick question for you Steap. Say I wanted to test out guix, could I make a vm of something suck as a minimal slack install, and then git guix? <TonyGazelle>Im gonna head off for now. I'll be back later after I sort that. <TonyGazelle>probably been covered. but google to no avail. 'error: failed to connect to `/usr/local/var/guix/daemon-socket/socket':No such file or directory <TonyGazelle>nvm. looking in manual under installation and setting up daemon <TonyGazelle>all success so far after that silly mistake. will keep an eye out for anything that causes trouble. <TonyGazelle>thx but i got it fixed by reading the documentation. i'm testing this out on slax as well since it has no package manager to begin with. keeping it simple.
