<Apteryx> rekado_ thanks for letting me know about your work on gnucash 3. <Apteryx>rekado_: are you going to submit it soon? I don't see it on core-updates nor on guix-patches <efraim>ogre built successfully on aarch64, looks like my freeimage works <rekado_>Apteryx: I wanted to build it successfully on core-updates first, but a fourth-degree dependency does not build, so I can’t test it. <rekado_>Apteryx: I can push it to core-updates now in spite of this. <vnicent_cassel>Hi #guix. My newly installed system stops on the usb keyboard. Where can I find the logs? I boot from USB and I mount the root partition but I can not find anything in / var / log. <roptat>vnicent_cassel: I'm not sure, guixsd is not very good at keeping logs, but does "dmesg" work? <vnicent_cassel>roptat: usb-boot <> hdd-boot, dmesg returns nothing | grep -i warn err <vnicent_cassel>Can I see some way out of errors during startup? Alt + Fn just shows me a guide. The boot stops at the keyboard recognition and I do not see any errors. <roptat>vnicent_cassel: what is the error exactly? <roptat>if you can Alt+Fn, isn't it recognised? <roptat>oh! maybe you need a specific driver for that keyboard? do you see any related warning? <roptat>actually from the usb installer, run lspci <roptat>you should be able to find a line for your keyboard <roptat>if there is one, try "lspci -k" to find what kernel driver is in use for it <roptat>also, could you tell us what the exact error message is? <roptat>ok, I think your keyboard is detected correctly <roptat>you're probably able to type in something <roptat>but whatever is supposed to happen later doesn't <roptat>it happened to me and I think it was silently checking my filesystem <roptat>also I see it detected 4 removable disks. Do you think that's correct? <vnicent_cassel>Should I just let it run for many minutes? Will it happen to me in all the boots? <roptat>vnicent_cassel: if it's fsck, it will happen only once <roptat>vnicent_cassel: /dev/sda is detected as a removable disk, so maybe that's the issue? <vnicent_cassel>It may be. I'm going to check this and I'll come back for help if necessary. Thank you. <zybell_>It is a few years since, but I once had a sys with a cardreader on usb where all drives where ever present, but IOERRd if no card was inserted and fsck freaked absolutly out about this especially as it could not read a size from the drive. I had to disconnect that thingy while booting. <wxie>What's the meaning of the following information: <wxie>rcmd: socket: Permission denied <wxie>rsh: No access to privileged ports. <wxie>cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) <zero21>guix import nix command works? I try to use it but i get in execvp no such file or dir error <bavier>zero21: I think you need nix installed to use 'guix import nix'; do you? <zero21>i dont have it, on manual it sez "This relies on the nix-instantiate command of Nix." but i thought it is already in guix <mbakke>Hmm, `guix lint -c cve` fails to get the 2017 CVE database. <bavier>mbakke: it seemed to fetch it for me just now <mbakke>bavier: It works for me too as well now, must have been a transient failure. <zero21>any chance that guixsd will get forum as trisquel has, or a wiki such as archwiki? <ryanprior>How do Guix maintainers feel about project infrastructure? Is it preferable that somebody like myself should just volunteer to run a Discourse server for the Guix community if I think it's a good idea, or would it be wise to consult the GNU project sysadmins on a good course of action, or is there a formal process for setting up services? <bavier`>ryanprior: generally the mailing list is the preferred medium. <bavier`>however if Discourse can act as a bridge between the mailing list and the forum-type website, I'd consider supporting it <ryanprior>Discourse is basically a forum, but it has features more associated with chat or wikis: community-edited topics, live updates, integration with other services, etc. So the Discourse could compliment the mailing list and serve as a knowledge base and forum. <bavier`>what many here don't want is to generate a divide <bavier`>something that complements rather than integrates with would tend to do just that, IME <ryanprior>You can integrate Discourse with mail. You can subscribe to topics via e-mail to create a new mailing list with Discourse as the "back end," and you can mirror existing e-mail lists on Discourse. <bavier`>if someone sent a mail to guix-devel or guix-users@gnu.org, would Discourse pick up on that, creating a new forum topic or threading into an existing as appropriate? <bavier`>(sorry for the barrage of questions. I'm genuinely curious, and it seems like you're knowledgeable) <ryanprior>It can be configured a lot of ways, and that's an option, but I don't know how to do that without Discourse being the "back-end" to the mailing list, and we'd want to experiment with it before talking about taking that step. We could maybe start with a `guix-discourse` mailing list and see how the integration holds up. <pkill9>would MultiMC be accepted as a package given that it's a launcher that downloads proprietary software? (despite MultiMC itself being Apache licensed) <bavier`>the download progress bar sometimes disappears when the file is large or the connection is very slow <bavier`>e.g. the texlive-texmf source tarball <darkpsi>i am having problem with nvme drivers with the latest linux kernel when i run the guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm it says that it can not find nvme.ko not sure how to get it <davidl>so how do I get sound working properly on guixSD? <davidl>I can't get it to run in icecat and mpd only plays very low volume.
