<OriansJ``>I find it interesting so few people in this community care about how to improve the situation of discrimination against those who are not neurotypical or is it fear that one might be labeled for having any perspective contrary. <OriansJ``>Stingy_Japanese: It was the topic of discussion on #guix-COC-discussion about how the Code of Conduct could be discriminate against those who have low EQ or are non-neurotypical and what could be done to improve the situation as was anounced on guix to ensure broader community engagement. <lyr3>hey, I installed icecat under guixsd but it just not open <lyr3>I would like to remove it and reinstall but as you know it just resymlink the previous installed icecat <lyr3>there is any way to (purge) icecat then reinstall or even force install <apteryx`>Hello! debbuging `guix offload', continued :) <apteryx`>anyone is welcome to jump on the bandwagon ;) <vagrantc>the only way i could get offloading to work was specifying --max-jobs=0 <vagrantc>seems a bit counter-intuitive to me, though <apteryx`>I'm stuck before reaching this interesting point. <apteryx`>I get: guix offload: error: build failed: program `guix-authenticate' failed with exit code 1 <apteryx`>But I'm getting closer to something useful with gdb debugging of guix-daemon at the remote; I just got: error: executing `guix-authenticate': No such file or directory <apteryx`>printed by stopping on every fork and continuing <apteryx`>so it seems it just doesn't find that program in the PATH. <vagrantc>you've set up pubkeys for both ends? e.g. machineA: guix archive --authorize < machineB.pub ; machineB: guix archive --authorize < machineA.pub <apteryx`>It seems the guix-daemon adds "settings.nixLibexecDir" to the PATH to try to find that... but that doesn't help because on my system, nixLibexecDir := /usr/local/libexec, and guix-authenticate is not found there. <apteryx`>vagrantc: yes, I've doubled checked the pubkeys setup is correct. <apteryx`>vagrantc: Are you using a GuixSD machine as the offload machine? <vagrantc>i've used both guixsd and debian machines <apteryx`>vagrantc: any special magic PATH setting, or guix profile sourcing in your ~/.bashrc? <vagrantc>though there have been a lot of guix changes in the last few weeks; it's been a while since i tested <apteryx`>my guix is 66 days outdated. That's the number of days I've been stuck on this puzzle ;) <vagrantc>that's about the extent of what i've got :) <apteryx`>OK, I'll try hacking my PATH and see if it progresses ^^ <lyr3>hey, I cant run icecat. there is any way to force reinstall it instead of re-symlinking the installed one? <lyr3>I guess that guix reconfigure might help me as I installed icecat as user <brendyn>lyr3: well that's what it means to "reinstall" in guix. It makes no difference. You could try deleting the config directory in your home <lyr3>brendyn: I installed it under guixsd <brendyn>what happens when you run icecat from a terminal? Maybe there are useful error messages there when it fails to run <brendyn>Does it hang or return to the shell? <lyr3>which icecat confirms it is installed <brendyn>Maybe you can try running `strace icecat' to gain more information <lyr3>execve("/home/lyr3/.guix-profile/bin/icecat", ["icecat"], 0x7ffed071a510 /* 63 vars */) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error) <lyr3>fstat(2, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=130, ...}) = 0 <lyr3>write(2, "strace: exec: Exec format error\\n", 32strace: exec: Exec format error <apteryx`>lyr3: Try 'pkill icecat; mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_bak; icecat' <lyr3>no such directory ~/.mozilla <apteryx`>so it's not personal configs which are messing it. <brendyn>Does icecat use the mozilla directory? <lyr3>there is any way to purge icecat? <lyr3>or there are any other browser <lyr3>just installed and (guix pull) <brendyn>I wonder if it is corrupt in the guix store? <lyr3>it said corrupt something <brendyn>purging it would require uninstalling and then running `guix gc' <brendyn>guix gc should remove everything from the store that isnt installed in a profile <apteryx`>guix package -r icecat && guix gc $(guix build icecat) should do it I think <lyr3>apteryx1: it is installing it <lyr3>but I ve done a clean guix gc hahaha <lyr3>so we can specify which package (guix gc) can free space...interesting <lyr3>it keeps symlinking to that earlier install icecat <brendyn>oh probably because you also have backup profiles <brendyn>maybe delete all the old generations <lyr3>I am just deleting icecat generation haha <brendyn>Everytime you change something in your profile the current profile becomes a backup generation <apteryx`>lyr3, when your reinstall, if guix hasn't changed, icecat should be strictly the same <apteryx`>so you'd see the same store location being symlinked to again. <apteryx`>arg! I've added 'guix-authenticate' to my PATH, but it still won't find it! <brendyn>Why does guix need to download wayland, cups-filters and a bunch of stuff just so i can run `guix package -r monero' ? <apteryx`>guix graph might give you answers; it's probably indirect dependencies <apteryx`>Could be related to substitutes, but I'm not very knowledgeable about that part yet. <brendyn>Guix does so many weird things that don't make sense to me. <mange>Is there something in particular that you're mystified by right now? <brendyn>mange: About why guix is downloading stuff in order to uninstall a package <mange>Oh, right.

<pheonix83>Hey im about to download the iso and install again. last time i had trouble with the partitioning part of the install. can someone point me to a more detailed wiki with partitioning like partition sizes. <wigust>pheonix83: What's the trouble did you have? <pheonix83>wigust: not sure what i did it was couple weeks ago i tried it. but when i restart after installation i see grub menu loading then it reboot again and just looped liked that. grub didnt load. ***dc is now known as danio
<pheonix83>i remember i made a boot_grub partition, /boot partition /root partition and /home partition. dont know if i messed up the sizes for grub and boot or what. when i installed gentoo i just followed the wiki and all was good. dont really know fully what i am doing when it comes to partitioning tbh <pheonix83>so without an actual guid saying make this partition this size and add this flag like so. im lost. <wigust>pheonix83: I would recommend you don't separate /boot in a partition if you don't need it <pheonix83>yeh thats the guide i followed, i dont use EFI so got a little confusing as it begins to talk about bios grub but all the exampls are for EFI. So do i add the bios_grub flag to the /boot partition? <pheonix83>so i would only have /boot partition /root partition and /home partition <wigust>pheonix83: i don't think you need any flags in non-efi system, at least from my experience with a non-efi machine <wigust>pheonix83: so just skip this note and make sure you have mounted your boot partition in /mnt/boot as the documentation says <jonsger>civodul: did version 1.0.3 of guile-bytestructures provides an important fix for guix or does it just make the package definition cleaner? <roptat>so I learnt something: transferring the guix package and creating a symlink from .config/guix/current doesn't create a gc root <roptat>so after running guix gc I was left with the system guix, which is older <civodul>roptat: ah sure, you need to register the GC root explicitly, otherwise guix-daemon cannot guess :-) <civodul>registering the GC essentially boils down to creating another symlink in /var/guix/gcroots <roptat>from /var/guix/gcroots to .config, or /gnu/store? <roptat>civodul: since the new version creates a profile, it should be possible to download most of the packages of that profile from berlin or hydra by choosing the correct commit, right? <roptat>or do they only build guix-manual? <civodul>the gc root should point to ~/.config/guix/current <civodul>the way 'guix pull' does it is by creating an "indirect GC root", which is slightly different: it creates a symlink in /var/guix/gcroots/auto that guix-daemon can automatically remove if its target no longer exists <civodul>re substitutes, yes, berlin provides substitutes for all the derivations that 'guix pull' computes (that's unrelated to the fact that we're using a profile) <roptat>civodul: can I use guix weather to see if the substitutes are available? <civodul>roptat: not really because 'guix weather' expects a list of packages, but we should change it to be more flexible <roptat>"Génération 3juin 14 2018 10:20:32(actuel)" this is terrible :/ <civodul>looks like translators removed the tabs, no? <roptat>should show "Génération 3 juin 14 2018 10:20:32 (actuel)" <civodul>oh, so you were referring to the date translation? <civodul>roptat: i plaid guilty: i think i did the bad SRFI-19 i18n a long time ago in Guile <civodul>but SRFI-19 'date->string' doesn't lend itself well to i18n <civodul>because in the format string you would specify things like "~Y-~M", meaning "year-month" <civodul>and 'display-generation' in (guix ui) uses: "~b ~d ~Y ~T" <civodul>perhaps we should put that in G_ as well, with a comment explaining that translators should use a format that works well in their language? <civodul>or maybe we should use the default, which is ~c <civodul>LC_TIME=fr_FR.utf8 guile -c '(use-modules (srfi srfi-19)) (pk (date->string (time-utc->date (current-time time-utc))))' <civodul>;;; ("jeu. juin 14 10:37:25+0200 2018") <civodul>yeah that's because of this hardcoded format in srfi-19: (define locale-date-time-format "~a ~b ~d ~H:~M:~S~z ~Y") <civodul>so using G_ as we discussed above is the best solution at this point <civodul>just write (G_ "some literal string") <civodul>and gettextize will automatically extract the string for translation in the .pot file <civodul>and then at run-time G_ is essentially an alias for the 'gettext' procedure <roptat>so how do you add a comment for translators ? <civodul>Add a comment exactly on the line(s) before the G_ line that you want to comment, and start it with "TRANSLATORS:" <civodul>ACTION just pushed the store database patch series <civodul>that's ping latency though, which is the least of our problems :-) <roptat>there are other kinds of measurements we can make <roptat>but they are "low-level" (ping, traceroute, dns, ssl, http or ntp) <roptat>how much space do I need on a server if I want to create a mirror for all architectures? <civodul>as much as you want, in the sense that you can give nginx an upper limit <civodul>also if you make it a lazy mirror, like mirror.hydra.gnu.org, it'll be populated on demand <civodul>so if nobody uses it it needs no storage :-) <roptat>how much does it take on mirror.hydra? <civodul>well 1.4T is the sum of the local store plus the nginx cache <roptat>ok, and I guess there are also source tarballs <civodul>yes, you can't discriminate between fixed-output derivations and other derivations anyway <roptat>why is the local store so big, then? <civodul>mirror.hydra.gnu.org is also a build machine of hydra.gnu.org <civodul>"cas" is "content-addressed storage", i.e., the /file URLs that 'guix publish' serves <Copenhagen_Bram>wpa_supplicant fails to connect with my router even though it works on the live usb drive <Copenhagen_Bram>Is there anyone who can help me?

The files are right there in /run/current-system/profile/share/fonts/truetype. <rekado_>civodul: it’s probably just something with the guixr wrapper script, which does a little too much <civodul>rekado_: so that wrapper is still around? :-) <rekado_>it does a few things: set the GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET, GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, prints a warning on the login node, and implements a simple “load-profile” command <rekado_>other than that it merely calls “/gnu/remote/guix/pre-inst-env guix "$@"” <rekado_>oh, and it sources a profile containing Guix runtime dependencies, such as gnutls or guile-json. <rekado_>hmm, I don’t know why this is failing. <rekado_>I see: @ substituter-started /gnu/store/fwghwzg6b3z6fahg97mf17rqr3fidhvk-r-shiny-1.1.0 /gnu/remote/guix/nix/scripts/substitute <rekado_>guix build: error: build failed: unexpected EOF reading a line <civodul>so the issue is in the environment of guix-daemon itself <civodul>like incomplete/incorrect GUILE_LOAD_PATH, etc. <civodul>(you can use --no-build-hook as a workaround) <rekado_>the daemon is started as “/gnu/remote/guix/pre-inst-env guix-daemon …” <lyr3>hey, after install aspel (guix package -i) now my manifest is empty and guix package wont install anything... <lyr3>(guix package: error: unsupported manifest format) <lyr3>I can rollback, ofc, but it happens a lot so maybe its wiser to file a bug or there any tip to avoid that? <rekado_>now I remember why I used that separate profile containing gnutls and guile-json: with only pre-inst-env “guixr build anything” complains about a missing gnutls. <rekado_>I start the daemon with “/gnu/remote/guix/pre-inst-env guix-daemon” — should this not be enough? <rekado_>I see in /proc/pid/environ for the guix-daemon pid that GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH is set, but not GUILE_LOAD_PATH <rekado_>oh, I take that back. Both are set to /gnu/remote/guix <rekado_>sourcing the profile containing gnutls before running the daemon fixes this, but results in the “guix: offload” error. <rekado_>oh well, I’ll just disable the build hook in the daemon command. <rekado_>passing it now as a default option with “guixr”, but that’s ugly :-/ <lyr3>wow, icecat is way better and enough than I previously thought. haha great work! <civodul>rekado_: another possible issue is that the guile-ssh that's in GUILE_LOAD_PATH of the daemon is the wrong one (linked against a different libc) <rekado_>hmm, I find that unlikely, because I used the updated Guix to re-build the profile containing guile-ssh. <rekado_>but I’ll look into this at some later point. <rekado_>the guile-fibers tests take a very long time. <rekado_>I wonder if we need to run them all (including the speedup demonstrations). <janneke>i'm feeling a bit stuck with bootstrapping, on building the full gcc-boot after binutils/gcc-core-boot/glibc <janneke>hoping to tap into some expert knowledge from you, maybe g_bor[m] or phant0mas? <janneke>there seems to be a problem with LD and possibly crt1.o/crtn.o; possibly an installation or configuration problem <janneke>glibc builds fine with this LD, however, the first gcc-core-boot also builds fine <nyberg>I was wondering if the issue with guix pull failing on "Wrong type argument in position 2: #<unspecified>" would be the result of my local install or the sources pulled. <nyberg>not so keen on selecting generation 1 again <rekado_>nyberg: no, this is a problem in Guile.

It's just a little tedious to keep track of which packages have been reviewed and fixed, especially since I am trying to delegate this work to a group :) <civodul>oh i guess i need to catch up on this one <civodul>oh and you update the old gpg as well <lyr3>oh that explain clearly: In addition, ~/.xsession files are honored.

I want to change to %base-service but I will remove just some packages from %desktop <civodul>lfam: interestingly this page is all JS... <lfam>Maybe they are testing their exploit! <civodul>there's a trick to (ab)use valgrind to detect non-constant-time implementations <rekado_>ACTION prepares a short presentation on Cuirass and the GWL for the team at work <civodul>using the uninitialized memory thing in Valgrind <rekado_>I’m beginning to use Cuirass to offer CI for everyone’s manifests. <civodul>nyberg: the second error looks familiar, let me see <rekado_>that’s easy, because people don’t use manifests. <roptat>civodul: that hack with valgrind sounds interesting, do you have resources? <civodul>nyberg: what if you just run "guix pull" alone? current master should not have the problem with the 'invoke-error?' thing <civodul>nyberg: thanks, let me investigate a bit <civodul>nyberg: what do you have in /etc/guix/machines.scm? <nyberg>currently commented out all machines <civodul>nyberg: ok, so you must either delete it, or add '() at the end so that it returns the empty list <civodul>here 'guix offload' crashes because machines.scm returns something that's not a list of machines <civodul>this should be handled gracefully though <nckx>reepca-laptop: bc contains a ‘dc’ executable. <nyberg>civodul: Thank you, it's building <nckx>Seems to be the only one. <nyberg>civodul: would a patch for returning a slightly better error than the current be merged? I wouldn't mind writing it. <rekado_>nyberg: a better patch would be to make it not fail in this case. <rekado_>i.e. an empty file or a file with only comments should behave like one that contains the empty list. <lfam>I just learned that crypto++ includes an implementation of Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme <efraim>is that the one that shards secrets? <lfam>efraim: Yes.

Then I could use sprunge.us or termbin.com from guixsd live <Copenhagen_Bram>Also don't bother changing your directory to where you'd like to put the image, because it just creates the image in /gnu/store <reepca-laptop>huh, /gnu/store/sdqm4va5rfgq1m7gwznay1i84lrq9vjw-ghc-8.0.2.drv is listed in the "the following derivations will be built" part <Copenhagen_Bram>Hmm. I wonder if you could disk-image config.scm and then dd it to the hard drive you wish, for instant easy guixsd installation <Copenhagen_Bram>Oh and another tip learned from my first days of guixsd: You might consider adding cryptsetup to your config.scm, for some reason it's actually not included in an installation <Pigeon>Hello! Could someone help me with installing guixsd on vm please? I would like to have enctrypted root partition (sda1), and unencrypted /boot partition. Both are ext4 formatted, but after running "guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt" there are two warnings "File system ext2 doesn't support embedding", "Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklist[...]", and an error "will not proceed with <vagrantc>Pigeon: a split /boot partition isn't really supported <vagrantc>ACTION forgets if a bug was filed about this or not <Copenhagen_Bram>vagrantc: I found that out the hard way (I think). But I didn't get any ext2 error. It just installed and then failed to boot <Copenhagen_Bram>Although, I recall making the mistake of typing `try_user_config ahci0` instead of `try_user_config ahci0,msdos1`. Who knows what would've happened if I did it like that? <vagrantc>Pigeon: grub can support decrypting the / partition where /gnu/store is <nckx>Sounds more like the error you get when you're missing the BIOS boot partition on a non-UEFI system, not /boot. <lyr3>Copenhagen_Bram: noted! > gnu.org <Copenhagen_Bram>Pigeon: Does guix system init fail to run and then give you that error, or does it go through the whole installation and then when you boot you get that error? <lyr3>curl/netcat tip into my gnu.org file <Copenhagen_Bram>nckx: either there's an invisible boot partition because cfdisk says the start sector is at 2048, or I have uefi but you don't need a /boot/efi partition for efi <nckx>Copenhagen_Bram: I was referring to the GRUB error message above. <Copenhagen_Bram>hmmm, maybe it's possible to manually load the encrypted partition from the grub command line <Copenhagen_Bram>i peeked into the grub config, it looks like it has to load /gnu/store/hoobitybabbityhashes-linux-libre.version <Pigeon>I don't exactly know what am I doing. Just following installation manual, but It doesn't show how to install botloader, while using encrypted system partition. It only shows how to encrypt it. <nckx>Pigeon: A separate unencrypted /boot isn't supported yet. <nckx>Any separate /boot, for that matter.
