<fr33domlover_>Hello

<fr33domlover_>I have Guix installed on top of Trisqel

<fr33domlover_>How do I see Japanese characters?

<fr33domlover_>IceCat fails to display any, utox too

<fr33domlover_>I installed one of the package suggested in the docs, with 'jp' output

<roelj>fr33domlover_: Have you set the GUIX_LOCPATH environment variable after installing the glibc-locales package?

<fr33domlover_>roelj: hmm it seems to be set in .bashrc

<roelj>fr33domlover_: Ok. Do you also have fonts installed that contain/can display Japanese characters?

<fr33domlover_>roelj: Yes I installed one (using guix)

<fr33domlover_>I closed the X session, started it again

<fr33domlover_>Opened IceCat

<fr33domlover_>Went to Japanese wikipedia

<fr33domlover_>Still displays rectangles in place of letters :P

<efraim>you might need to run `fc-cache' first after installing the fonts

<fr33domlover_>efraim: should that command come from guix or host distro?

<Apteryx>fr33domlover_: I think you have to manually run fc-cache for the time being, as efraim said. It seems we haven't figured out yet how to automate this as a profile hook.

<Apteryx>fr33domlover_: from guix

<Apteryx>fonts are not shared between guix and host

<Apteryx>(correct me if I'm wrong)

<Apteryx>I'm still very interested to learn about a voice recognition driven solution for using a PC without typing, if anyone has ideas.

<fr33domlover_>Apteryx: thanks

<bavier>in our patch tracker, do we have a convention to indicate that someone is in the process of reviewing a patch?

<efraim>bavier: I don't think so

<efraim>looks like gcc@7.2 was released

<efraim>testing gcc-toolchain@7.2 and gfortran@7.2 on aarch64 now

<jonsger>I hope cuirass will be deployed soon :P

<sneek>Welcome back jonsger, you have 1 message.

<sneek>jonsger, atw says: I found out the form factor of the 9360. It's M.2, but I don't know the key type. ref: http://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/xps-13-9360-laptop_setup%20guide_en-us.pdf . I also found https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_13_%289360%29 which indicates that on this specific model of the XPS 13, graphics is intel and wireless is ath10k. Support for both should be good. ath10k:

<mog>sneek, i have this laptop for work

<mog>it is intel and ath10k

<mog>at least mine is

<jonsger>mog: you know that sneek is a bot?

<mog>i wasnt paying attention no... ):

<mog>but what atw said to you is accurate...

<bavier`>:)

<paroneayea>hi

<efraim>i thought the ath10k was non-free?

<mog>it needs a blob yes

<ng0>Okay, I might almost have a working MATE base. Now there's one thing: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/mate-panel#n27 I have an issue which is similar to this solution, after the build of mate-panel finishes, it wants to run lots of ldconfig stuff. Anyone got an applicable solution for us?

<ng0>maybe we have a package where this is already encountered and solved?

<ng0>anyway, I have to go. I'll search some more and then send questions to the list
