<apteryx>anyone understand how the guix build --with-source option works? <apteryx>I just get: guix build: error: sendfile: Broken pipe <rekado>apteryx: can you show the full command you tried? <imme>Hey, how/where do i configure guix-daemon (in guixSD)? Because i would like to use berlin.guixsd.oprg as default substitute-server. <brendyyn>you'll add to your services (guix-service-type config => (guix-configuration (inherit config) (...))) to do it <brendyyn>I mean, that goes in (modify-services ...) <imme>i tried it without '=' though .. <imme>now retrying with it .., using: 'guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm' <imme>seems to, at least initially, still use ci.guix.info <brendyyn>Hmm, is it not a a configuration from the client too? <imme>yeah, it is .. perhaps it's using that at the moment .. defaulting to what it was before the reconfiguration . <imme>I'll let it run and see what happesn afterwards :) <rekado>imme: FWIW ci.guix.info and berlin.guixsd.org point to the same machine. <imme>xD okay .. I already thought things where quicker then before with ci.guix.info . <imme>well .. it's good to know that if this config change does not work, i can lay it to rest :) <imme>okay, apparently that had no effect, it's still using ci.guix.info #fyi <rekado>imme: can you show us your configuration file? <imme>ah .. i probably forgot to include 'my-services', rekado. I will check first, if still not working, I'll show config. <roptat>finally, I have an updated groovy :) <imme>rekado: so, at services i tries insering my-services in several ways .. but they all gave errors :/ so apparently i'm missing something about how to configure .. a "working" config: https://8n1.org/14264/62af <roptat>imme, %my-services is a list that replaces %base-services <roptat>have you tried using the same thing as some example config, but replacing %base-services with %my-services? <rekado>imme: your services are (cons* a b %desktop-services) <rekado>this means: add “a” and “b” to the list of services in %desktop-services <rekado>your “%my-services” variable processes %base-services, but you don’t use either. <rekado>so, replace %base-services with %desktop-services, and then replace %desktop-services near the bottom with %my-services <imme>ah, so desktop-services "extends" the base-services, makes sense. I made some attempts to merge those two lists xD <imme>okay, cool, no errors, so far so good. thanks. <davidl>Is anyone working on an ldap service for GuixSD? <roptat>ah, there's a build date in antlr2 ***tsh-- is now known as ths

<ChrisAbela>visudo is complaining that no editor was found (/usr/bin/vi). I installed nvi which is located in /root/.guix-profile/bin/vi How do I install vi for all the system? <pkill9>ChrisAbela: add it to your guix system configuration packages and then reconfigure your system to make it available to all users <pkill9>root has it's own guix profile just like any other user <pkill9>(this is assuming you're running GuixSD) <roptat>visudo shouldn't try to look for things in /usr <roptat>there's a /usr/bin/vi hardcoded in the binary <roptat>the correct path can be passed in the sudoers file it seems <janneke>civodul: thanks for the non-intel bootstrap fix on core-updates <rekado>davidl: yes, I have an ldap service <rekado>davidl: i.e. a service for setting up ldap authentication, not for running an ldap server (I think). <rekado>re visudo: it’s not really used on Guix systems; instead you’d modify the configuration and reconfigure the system to add sudoers. <rk4>morning. i've installed icecat, but it seems to not find any fonts. there some other unexplicit dependency that i'm supposed to install?

<tune>I've had a lot of problems with icecat and fonts <tune>also my checkboxes are blank red squares whether they are checked or unchecked. have had these issues for weeks without finding out what the deal is <tune>a lot of webpages default to some sort of monospace font instead of a more normal web browser font regardless of my settings. I also installed the ibm plex font package but none of my programs can find that font <rk4>in my case icecat is entirely unreadable, as not a single symbol is successfully rendered! in either the menu or the default homepage <rk4>apart from that, guixsd has been pretty smooth sailing :) <rekado>tune: have you installed fonts via Guix and ran “fc-cache -f”? <tune>other fonts I installed in the past work. I just can't install new ones it seems <tune>I also have that recurring problem of having to delete guix-current files to do a guix pull <tune>I'm sure I've got some cleanup to do since my guixsd install is from about a year ago now <rekado>tune: better write to help-guix@gnu.org about this; it’s not normal <tune>I suppose I could do that. never mailed them before, though <rekado>that’s just us, but in a format that is a little less ephemeral than IRC ;) <tune>Should I try to split up issues into multiple email threads? fonts, red checkboxes in icecat, guix-current guix pull issue <rekado>the guix current issue should go in a separate email; the other two icecat things could go in one email. <tune>kind have two font issues, although they may be related. icecat showing the wrong fonts on web pages, but also that none of my programs can see/use my ibm plex font <civodul>rekado: hey! did you send the link to the report to rb-general@? <rekado>civodul: no, sorry! I thought you were offering to send it. Miscommunication!
