<alexshendi>Why the hell am I getting errors like "ERROR: no code for module (gnu services desktop)" now? <grothoff>mark_weaver: I don't ever exactly leave, after all, my gnunet_bot has been logging this channel for some time ;-) <grothoff>Thanks for the hint, I'll check the latest skel files. <civodul>it's actually "not so bad", as in "just pretty slow" <rekado__>I'm trying to figure out by how much the size of a package closure increased after I added a couple of inputs. <rekado__>I used "guix archive --export --recursive python-ipython > after-patch", on master and on my wip branch, but I get exactly the same size. <rekado__>guix gc --references tells me that the two directories have indeed different references. <rekado__>am I using "guix archive --export --recursive" wrong? <rekado__>If so, what would be the correct command to get the size of a closure? <mark_weaver>rekado__: I think --references shows only store items directly referenced. to see the items directly and indirectly referenced, use --requisites <civodul>rekado__: something like: du -ms $(guix gc -R foo) <civodul>i've been wanting a 'guix size' command for some time <civodul>it's alive but somewhat loaded, as usual <davexunit>it was completely unresponsive to me for awhile *davexunit is setting up a workstation with his guix profile <davexunit>civodul: thanks for fixing the dry run issue, btw. <civodul>i noticed it as i was writing the load* tests <davexunit>the binary tarball worked beautifully on this new machine. <davexunit>if only hydra were healthier I'd be done setting up by now. <davexunit>have to keep re-running commands because downloads fail in the middle :( <civodul>i must be lucky, for me usually it's either slow or very slow <davexunit>bam, got my profile up on the new workstation. <davexunit>what's a reasonable test I can do in bash to check if I'm running guixsd? <davexunit>I want my bash_profile to set some env vars conditionally <davexunit>'test -d /run/current-system' seems reasonable <davexunit>does anyone that guix-daemon sysvinit script on hand? I saw it posted to the mailing list recently but I just can't find it. *jackdaniel installs guix-sd try #2 <toothbrush0>Help! What do i do if a Guile program (skribilo in this case) installed from Guix tells me to "Tell Guile not to issue warnings about duplicate bindings."? <civodul>toothbrush0: the setlocale issue is a skribilo bug fixed in skribilo commit cbddfe69 <civodul>and the "Tell Guile"... message is just a string that happens to be in the backtrace :-) <civodul>so the workaround would be to either install the locale you want to use, or to run skribilo with an available locale <toothbrush0>I never realised it was all related; i thought i'd get around to sorting out the locale issue later... <civodul>it has enough locales for the imperialistic among us ;-) <rekado>I'd like to change my prompt when in a "guix environment" shell. How can I easily detect being in a guix environment? <civodul>rekado: that would be nice indeed, i think it has to be done in 'guix environment' itself <toothbrush0>civodul: oops, that's not enough for me though! i'm on en_GB :p <alexshendi>Hi, all. Time for another noob question. What does: <alexshendi>I'm executiong "guix build -L /home/alexshendi/guix-packages cups" <civodul>alexshendi: it means that the (cups) module that is in $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH has Something Incorrect <civodul>does /home/alexshendi/guix-packages/cups.scm exist? and does it start with (define-module (cups) ...)? <alexshendi>It starts with "(define-module (gnu packages cups)" <alexshendi>Should it be under /home/alexshendi/guix-packages/gnu/packages/cups.scm then? <civodul>so this module will override the distro's same-named module <civodul>iyzsong: i still don't have the right font to display your name, you must teach me what to do! :-) <alexshendi>civodul: still have the same CUPS error messages though <alexshendi>civodul: Just discovered that I inserted the configure flags in the wrong place :(
