<tadni_>It's saying the variable "~S" is unbound. <gry>civodul, I have a small problem you would not know an answer to. But probaby you know who does, other than the maintainer (whom I already contacted): GNUN has no useful documentation on getting started with it for a new project. <civodul>tadni_: that's probably a bug; could you email bug-guix@gnu.org with the exact commit you're using and details? <tadni_>civodul: Yeah, I'll add it to my todo list. I've tried with xsession as a variable to and nothing, haven't tried with wmmaker. <tadni_>Okay, not too suprsising. Just tried with wmmaker and nothing. <tadni_>civodul: """guix system: error: failed to load operating system file '/etc/config.scm': (unbound-variable #f "Unbonud variable: ~S" (exec-from-login-shell) #f)""" <gry>civodul, it only starts with assumption that I already have a working copy of some existing website... <civodul>tadni_: could you post your OS config? <gry>yeah, that. I'll keep waiting then. thanks. :) <gry>he should already have an email. <civodul>tadni_: oh i see; exec-from-login-shell is an internal "build-side" function, not something to be used in the OS config <civodul>instead, you should use 'slim-service' <civodul>that will give you the SLiM login manager, from which you can choose which session you want to use <civodul>or, if you have ~/.xsession, it will just execute that <tadni_>Oh! So does having this function now, show these options via slim? <civodul>exec-from-login-shell is unrelated to sessions <civodul>but yeah, iyzsong implemented sessions recently <tadni_>I guess a user-config.scm option like that would probably be good, if/when "guix user" is implemented -- not just OS wide configuration. :^P <tadni_>I was going to say though, that's a very odd option to be universally available. <taylanub>guix insists on compiling icecat for some reason... <civodul>taylanub: probably because it's not available on hydra <tadni>It must not of been on Hydra for like 2 months. <mark_weaver>tadni: why do you say "It must not of been on Hydra for like 2 months" ? <tadni_>mark_weaver: I've tried building Icecat 5 times in the past 2 months, and each time built from source. <tadni_>I haven't in the past week though.
