<jxself>Hello - From https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-07/msg00021.html I understand that you're in need of kernel help so I wanted to donate the configs that I use for my public repository on jxself.org/linux-libre.

<jxself> http://jxself.org/x86-32.txt and http://jxself.org/x86-64.txt

<jxself>Well tested because I've been maintaining this repository since September 2011.

<jxself>Enjoy.

<jxself>Oh yeah - They assume 100gnu+freedo.patch has been applied, to replace the standard picture of Tux with Freedo, the mascot of Linux-libre. One moment...

<civodul>Hello Guix!

<jmd>howdi

<civodul>alezost: bug closed :-)

<s23dddf>civodul: I'm still failing to make Guix's privoxy work. When I pass the config like so 'privoxy <config-location>', it silently exits, and nothing happens at all. Ideas?

<s23dddf>Note that echo $? returns 1. Where should I look for errors?

<s23dddf>find /usr/local/var -name '*privoxy*' doesn't return anything relevant either.

<civodul>hey, s23dddf

<s23dddf>civodul: I guess my config file is invalid

<civodul>s23dddf: it starts as a daemon by default

<civodul>so in the background

<s23dddf>it's not shown in the output of ps aux

<civodul>i run "privoxy --no-daemon"

<civodul>well, maybe there's also a config error

<s23dddf>--config-test returns 1, so it must be a config error.

<civodul>but first run it with --no-daemon

<civodul>yeah

<civodul>if you run with --no-daemon you'll get an error message, hopefully

<s23dddf>Nope, --no-daemon doesn't print anything except the version.

<s23dddf>Changing the config didn't help either.

<civodul>i mean "privoxy --no-daemon /path/to/config"

<s23dddf>I did just that.

<s23dddf>Could you show the output of diff -Nru <orignal-privoxy-config> <modified-privoxy-config> on your machine?

<s23dddf>Okay, I finally fixed the config.

<civodul>s23dddf: ^

<civodul>(sorry for the noise)

<s23dddf>It was necessary to uncomment all the forward rules, not just 'forward 127.*.*.*/ . and forward localhost/ .'

<civodul>probably not strictly necessary

<s23dddf>No, it's necessary. Otherwise, --config-test exits with 1.

<civodul>ok

<s23dddf>What's weird is that it doesn't seem to work without --no-daemon.

<jmd>civodul: Hey! in #perl you would have been banned for life for that!

<s23dddf>I can't see it in the output of ps aux.

<s23dddf>jmd: haha

<civodul>and with --no-daemon, does it work?

<alezost>civodul: after “git pull”, “./configure” and “make check” guix-register failed again: http://paste.debian.net/108432

<civodul>alezost: yes, but that's a different problem this time ;-)

<civodul>lemme see

<alezost>(before last commits guix-register passed but packages.scm failed)

<alezost>should i try to build from a clean tree maybe?

<civodul>there's this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-03/msg00168.html

<civodul>hmm

<civodul>does it pass after "make recheck"?

<civodul>i.e., is it a transient error?

<s23dddf>civodul: If I run 'privoxy --no-daemon .privoxy-config &', it stays in the background. But Tor doesn't seem to work (I start it like so: tor -f /usr/local/var/guix/.../tor/torrc.samle --runasdaemon 1) because 'wget -O - https://check.torproject.org | grep -ri sorry' returns "Sorry. You are not using Tor." I'm not sure whether it's a privoxy or a Tor issue.

<civodul>you need to set $http_proxy as well

<alezost>civodul: after "make recheck" I got TOTAL: 1 PASS: 1

<civodul>alezost: ok, transient error then

<civodul>were you running tests with "make -jX?"

<alezost>no

<s23dddf>civodul: mark uses http_proxy, HTTP_PROXY, and https_proxy. all set to http://127.0.0.1:8118. should I use all 3, too?

<civodul>i'd say only the lower-case ones

<civodul>but i do things differently

<s23dddf>what do you mean by that?

<s23dddf>re "differently"

<civodul>alezost: then i'm not sure why the sqlite db appeared to be busy; i don't think it's something to worry too much about though

<civodul>s23dddf: i have specific settings for emacs-w3m, conkeror, etc.

<civodul>i don't use the env. vars currently

<alezost>civodul: yes, now I understand, thank you

<s23dddf>civodul: Is that because you don't want to use Tor for all connections?

<civodul>that was the reason initially

<civodul>it would probably make sense to switch over now

<s23dddf>civodul: Awesome, it works now. Thanks.

<civodul>great

<s23dddf>Now I have to learn how to use dmd, so I could mimic your configuration.

<civodul>yeah it's quite convenient

<s23dddf>But that's for another day. ttyl, civodul.

<civodul>ttyl!
