<g_bor>you can try make the generic pot writeable, and see if the problem persists... <ngz>Indeed. It doesn't seem generated. <g_bor>I see that a file handler is opened for writing here, but can't see the value of fpath... <ngz>Oddly, building it from the repository doesn't generate this error. <ngz>It seems specific to the package definition. <g_bor>This is not so surprising, the tarballs often have more restrictive permissions set. <g_bor>You can find some examples in our packages already. <ngz>So there is no tarball. <g_bor>and you can build it from the git-checkout created in the store, or from a clone? <ngz>But the commit is the same. <ngz>Could it be related to CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE? <ngz>I tried Release in the clone, but I think Guix default is RelWithDebInfo <rekado>ngz: you need to make the checkout writable <ngz>The whole repo has a mode of 644 <ngz>But it is not sufficient because someone else (guix-builder) tries to write files, not me. Am I right? <ngz>That would explain why I can build the software without problem, but cannot from Guix. <g_bor>rekado: do you have an example in mind where we do this already? <ngz>I found something like this in coq.scm <ngz>OK. It worked. Thank you. I lost my hair on this one. <g_bor>ngz: yw! Nice that it works now :) <g_bor>Good night, I have to go now. <ngz>Good night g_bor[m]! <dongcarl>Going to show off Guix to colleagues tomorrow, anything in particular that you guys think I should touch on? <wednesday>OK my issue in that case was guix system init didnt like the fact that I already had /mnt/var/guix and/or /mnt/gnu, makes it die with that error, someone should report that bug ;) <wednesday>after a little test the problem is not exactly what I said above, guix system init just crashes if /mnt/var/guix is a btrfs subvolume it seems, it was fine with /mnt/gnu being one <Copenhagen_Bram>my ~/.guix-profile/etc/ssl/certs/ directory is empty, how do I fix that? <Copenhagen_Bram>oh, installing nss-certs seems to have fixed it, although I thought I had installed nss-certs before <g_bor>I just had a look at #23118. <g_bor>I don't see these duplicates in the environment variables any more. <g_bor>Anyone still experiencing the issue? <efraim>I seem to have a working perl6 and build-system, should I package some more libraries for more testing or just submit it as-is for now <Richard[m]>hi, is the gtk+-2.24.32 build failing for anyone else or just me? <wednesday>Does anyone here have experience of having /gnu and /var/guix on btrfs subvolumes? having /var/guix on one causes guix system init to crash, but getting past that error, when I boot I get grub complaining about missing /store/stuff-linux-libre/bzImage <roptat>wednesday, I don't think it's supported yet :/ <roptat>the kernel is in /gnu/store, so on the btrfs partition. Does grub support that? <wednesday>roptat: well I used to have separate boot subvolumes on gentoo I believe(some years ago), don't entirely remember, but I think in some mailing lists I think I saw someone with a separate /gnu subvolume <roptat>not sure how to do that with guix though <wednesday>also grub says /store when it gets the error instead of /gnu/store, is that typical? <roptat>yes, that's because you have a separate partition for /gnu, so there is no gnu directory on that partition <roptat>the first directory is store directly <wednesday>ah makes sense, but in the same menu entry both --system and --load refer to /gnu/store, but initrd and linux reffer to /store, I assume that's how it's meant to be <wednesday>even if its not changing the entry doesn't fix anything so I may just have to abandon the /gnu subvolume <roptat>but even so, I don't think guix can start the system properly <wednesday>i'll try keeping my /var/guix on a subvolume and put /gnu on root and see if that'll do anything <nckx>Subvolumes aren't partitions. If /gnu/store is on a subvolume, Guix putting /store in grub.cfg is wrong and buggy. <nckx>So no, that's not normal. <nckx>I can't afford to break a machine right now, but I'm pretty sure GRUB still sees /gnu/store. In which case having a symlink /store → /gnu/store would allow you to have /gnu on a subvolume, but it's ugly as hell. Also just an assumption that nothing else is broken too :-) <wednesday>putting /gnu and /var/guix in the root subvolume doesn't seem to fix anything, get same error about needing to load the kernel first, would I need to put my store on an ext partition or something nckx? <kmicu>wednesday: there is an issue about that on bugtracker. Currently Guix generates wrong paths for btrfs subvolumes. <nckx>Stilll guessing: store-mount-point in bootloader/grub.scm is probably "/gnu" when in the case of btrfs subvols it should be "/". Probably an easy fix™. <nckx>kmicu: Oh cool. Link handy by any chance? <kmicu>Let me check but grepping btrfs in the ml archive will be faster xD *nckx wishes mu4e were fast enough that never deleting mail were actually an option. <kmicu>(Cuz cbaines even had some patches for subvolumes handling) <kmicu>(Generally you can inspect what guix generated for your config and you will see that in case of subvolumes it generates garbage paths.) <jonsger>don't know why it went through this time, maybe because it was submitted by a bot :P <wednesday>kmicu: I can get partway through booting with /gnu on my root subvolume, by adding the subvolume name to the start of the paths in the grub menu options. I also have to add insmod all_video to get graphics, but I end up with a kernel panic it seems <nckx>The (wrong) path is probably also used in early user space. I wonder how. Is it… trying to mount subvolumes? <kmicu>wednesday: iirc there are more places to fix than only grub config. For example mounting logic is also incorrect. I recommend installing stock config and then play in a VM to fix btrfs subvolumes otherwise installing Guix System is very frustrating process with a long feedback loop after each adjustment. <kmicu>(Don’t ask me how I know that xD) ***atw` is now known as atw
<nckx>wednesday: Have you tried my stab-in-the-dark symlink kluge? <wednesday>nckx: well right now i'm not using the store subvolume, I started trying with just a root subvolume, the only other subvolume it should be mounting after boot is /home <nckx>wednesday: Mounting? So you'r /home subvolume isn't actually at /home? <nckx>Any reason you're doing it that way and not just making /home itself a subvolume? <nckx>(The other might, just never tried it.) <wednesday>the way i've always done things is, a btrfs partition, with root subvolmes, home subvolume, and whatever else I want, that get mounted at boot <wednesday>when I've done it with other systems it lets me easilly swap out parts of the fs, like the whole root, or share things like home across other os's installed <nckx>So something like ‘mount /@my-home-subvol /home’? <wednesday>nah it's like mount -o subvol=home /dev/sda3 /home <nckx>Yeah, that's probably beyond Guix's limited knowledge of the world for now :-( <wednesday>well in file-system it has mount options, and i've stuck the subvol= stuff in there which afaik should work <kmicu>What is in config.scm is not important. It can look good but Guix code generates invalid configuration for subvolumes. <wednesday>kmicu: so it has trouble mounting subvolumes after boot? <nckx>In any case, it shouldn't panic on /home. <wednesday>because editing the menuentry before I boot can get me to a point where I kernel panic, but I can't see enough of the message to gleam much from it <kmicu>I was inspecting that logic line by line. Today I only remember that it generates wrong paths (for GRUB and fstab) and mapped-devices doesn’t understand subvolume dependencies. <wednesday>Just before the kernel panic I do see the words btrfs pop up for a second <wednesday>I'll try see if it's done something stupid in my fstab <kmicu>After that I installed regular btrfs cuz editing files in grub shell or guile repl is PITA 😺 <wednesday>kmicu: is fstab meant to be in a store? I found it in one and it's empty ha <kmicu>wednesday: there is a file for mounting (a guile one iirc) you can find it by generating new config. I don’t remember its name. <kmicu>I basically inspected any new file created by guix system init /confi /mnt. <wednesday>your root mountpoint is meant to be in the fstab right? I found my fstab and I see home in there but no root <kmicu>On my Guix System laptop in fstab I only see some systemd/cgroups things and /gnu/store entry. <nckx>sneek: later tell wednesday: ‘your root mountpoint is meant to be in the fstab right?’ N. <nckx>sneek_: later tell wednesday: ‘your root mountpoint is meant to be in the fstab right?’ No. <nckx>Evil shapeshiftin' robot. <nckx>Evil shapeshiftin' robot ignoring me. <kmicu>wednesday: in Guix land expect Guile/Shephard stuff. <nckx>wednesday: Oh. You were gone (or so my client said) so I left a message. <wednesday>yea last thing i saw is what i said about is root meant to be in the fstab ha <kmicu>The best way to figure out what really happens is to diff filesystem after config changes or to read Guix source code. (Both are painful on live half-booted OS). <nckx>Anyway. No need for / in fstab. That's for ‘mount -a’, and guess what Guix doesn't use. <wednesday>kmicu: well right now I got no system to boot into ha, so it's either try fix this or give up and use ext for now, which will be a pain for me later on <kmicu>wednesday: regular btrfs also works. But I understand. Only want to point out that fixing the issue is not trivial and will take days when performed on half-booted OS. So you can have a less frustrating path with installing a working config, fixing subvolumes on it (in a VM) and then reinstalling the system. (Personally, I’m doing exactly that cuz I also have a NixOS box with subvolumes setup similar to yours and wanted to recreate it on Guix System.). <kmicu>In other words: I was in the same place, I gave up after 2 days xP <wednesday>so your saying just have it with btrfs without the subvolumes? i'll probably end up doing that, but that makes me sad inside, maybe one day I can fix it ha <wednesday>yea he seems to be doing what kmicu suggested, doesn't look like he is using subvolumes <kmicu>wednesday: With a delcarative configuration we can reinstall OS in 5 minutes. That’s my plan - fix subvolumes and then reinstall OS in my desired file system layout. <efraim>I didn't bother with subvolumes, I just wanted the compression and checksumming <wednesday>it's been about a year since i've been on linux, been on bsds for a while, but back when I was on gentoo for several years I had a setup like this, so I thought it shouldnt be too hard to redo heh <nckx>I can confirm that Guix System on btrfs without (early-mounted) subvolumes is a breeze :-) <nckx>I've never had a compressed and heavily used btrfs last more than a year before panicking, but that's not Guix's doing. *jonsger is happy that Guix doesn't use btrfs as default file system :P <nckx>The checksums help me sleep slightly better than their history keeps me awake. It's a trade-off ;-) <wednesday>I remember having one issue with btrfs some years ago but btrfs restore and such saved the dat <wednesday>well I removed all the subvolumes and now I got a bootable system <nckx>wednesday: Huzzah! It's something™! <wednesday>now I need to figure out the other issue I was trying to solve yesterday, my usb 3 not working with immou on in the bios, and usb 2 not working with it off <kmicu>wednesday: it’s not too difficult just core devs don’t use subvolumes so it’s up to us to contribute that. *kmicu loves subvolumes cuz they are super handy during debugging or backups so rest assured that use-case will be supported in Guix System. <jonsger>nckx: what is the reason to hardcode the name in the source URI? <bavier>every time I 'guix pull' I have to rebuild libreoffice, and it doesn't honor --cores :( *bavier wonders why the --with-parallelism flag is no longer effective ':/ <kmicu>bavier: if you could paste libreoffice’s hash we could check whether its substitute is available on the build farm. Maybe it’s not ready or some local override demands different hash. <bavier>kmicu: good point, 'guix weather --coverage' didn't list libreoffice as missing. I don't have any local changes <bavier>"building /gnu/store/q93l80yr25g6m9rk1phll4pvxhk2s9vh-libreoffice-6.1.5.2.drv" ***ng0_ is now known as ng0
<kmicu>bavier: there is no such substitute on the farm. <bavier>I'll let this build go through and then try to see why --with-parallelism is having no effect <kmicu>So I assume weather gives wrong status. *bavier forgot to pass --cores... <kmicu>Maybe recent update broke libreoffice and weather doesn’t handle broken builds correctly. 🤷 <nckx>jonsger: Using NAME there is just parametrisation for the sake of it, it serves no useful purpose (and I was as guilty of it in the past as anyone :-). I remove it when I find it. IIRC there was also some consensus on the ML but my duckduckfoo sucks. <jonsger>oke, I understand. Though I wouldn't mass change it... <nckx><kmicu> it’s not too difficult just core devs don’t use subvolumes → exactly. <nckx>jonsger: I ‘fix’ it when I come across it, hence the pairing with updates (and if they're on their own it just means the update broke). I agree that we shouldn't mass-sed anything. <kmicu>(Though it has different hash so dunno, maybe you could have better luck.) <bavier>kmicu: it's on the 'install' phase for me right now <g_bor>I've noticed that a commit caused a lot of rebuilds on berlin. What do we know about it? <g_bor>I believe it was the sbcl update, guix refresh says it's within the threshold. <nckx>g_bor: How many rebuilds? <g_bor>I have a lagging connection now. <g_bor>nckx: about 1000 derivation. *vagrantc has found next browser to be rather unstable <vagrantc>gets locked up and unresponsive to keyboard ... anyone else using it? with/without problems? <jackhill>vagrantc: yes, for me, it does that as soon as I try to navigate off the homepage. <vagrantc>when it works, i'm liking it a lot ... but... <jackhill>I haven't had the time to do any bug hunting though. And there is still thy missing references bug (so next-webkit-gtk got collected the last time I gc'd) <jackhill>vagrantc: interesting.

<ebrasca>Hi my icecat display rectancles instead of text in my guixsd. <apteryx>ebrasca: I had that issue before. It may have to do with glibc-locales. Try synchronizing your system and profile (guix system reconfigure your_config.scm and guix package -u .) <ebrasca>Do I need to add "." after guix package -u ? <rekado>ebrasca: “-u” takes an optional argument, a regular expression. You only need the argument when “-u” is followed by other options. <ebrasca>Why if I repeat guix system reconfigure your_config.scm it downgrade my system? <ebrasca>Why you can't make it easy to update like in other systems (gentoo , debian , arch , parabola ...) ? <rekado>The state that is instantiated depends on the version of Guix you use. <rekado>if you use an old version of Guix you will get a system that corresponds to the instantiation using that old Guix. <ebrasca>Why it can say someting like "Noting to update" <rekado>I think you are misunderstanding. <rekado>“reconfigure” does not deal in terms of updates. <rekado>it instantiates a system configuration. <rekado>and then switches the current system to that instantiated configuration. <ebrasca>How to update my system and how to add new packages to my config.scm file? <ng0>is this on GuixSD or Guix on another system? <nckx>ebrasca: Updating is as easy as: guix pull && sudo -E guix system reconfigure <ng0>new packages are added to the packages section, or you install them to the user profile. I only ever added window managers and things like that to the system packages <nckx>This is exactly like in the other distributions you mentioned (apt-get update && apt something). <apteryx>ebrasca: adding new packages is done per user with 'guix package --install' <ebrasca>If I like to install my system in other PC with all packages <ng0>for example in netbsd one way I can update I do a cvs update of the sources, run build.sh, do the manual upgrade steps after the build,.. this is "reconfigure + guix pull".. and the user package updates via pkgsrc are "guix pull (as user) and guix package -u" <ebrasca>How to make it if I don't have updated my config.scm <apteryx>ebrasca: then define a manifest of your packages, then issue 'guix package -m your_manifest.scm' on those other systems. <apteryx>the Guix info manual covers manifests, I believe. <ebrasca>nckx: With your steps it tries to downgrade my sbcl... <nckx>ebrasca: I doubt that. From/to which versions? <nckx>Which commits do ‘guix describe’ and ‘sudo -E guix describe’ display? <ebrasca>ebrasca@Ebrasa-PC:~% guix describe guix describe: error: failed to determine origin <ebrasca>ebrasca@Ebrasa-PC:~% sudo -E guix describe Password: guix describe: error: failed to determine origin <nckx>Cool. And yet ‘guix pull’ runs without error? <nckx>What does ‘which guix’ say? <ebrasca>/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix <ng0>what about guix --version ? <nckx>ebrasca: Do you have /home/nckx/.config/guix/current/bin/guix? <ng0>or is this the new format now? <ng0>didn't notice, sorry <nckx>ebrasca: Hm. I promise that updating Guix is usually much easier than this ;-) What does ‘guix pull’ say when you run it? I don't understand. <ebrasca>ebrasca@Ebrasa-PC:~% guix pull Migrating profile generations to '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/ebrasca'... guix pull: error: symlink: El fichero ya existe: "/var/guix/profiles/per-user/ebrasca/current-guix" <nckx>Oh, right, you had Unicode troubles. It's just a thumbs-up. To be fair, you could have mentioned a fatal error when complaining earlier. <ebrasca>Can I have spanish keyboard and english text? <nckx>I've seen that problem before but am not finding anything on the Web. Sorry. <ebrasca>My browser show everiting as rectangles ... <ng0>wasn't solved by installing some fonts and fc-cache -vfi? <ng0>i mean on other systems you can combine this.. i have C locale and german keyboard layout <nckx>ebrasca: Sure. You'd set (locale "en_US.utf8") in your system configuration. I guess you have it set to Spanish now? It has no effect on the keyboard. But let's not try that before you can reconfigure without downgrading... *nckx has (locale "en_GB.utf8") and (console-keymap-service "dvorak-programmer"), for example. Same for X. <ng0>what are the permissions and ownerships on your .guix folders? <ebrasca>ng0: drwxr-xr-x 2 ebrasca users 4,0K feb 27 23:19 guix <ebrasca>nckx: I can't read internet links with my icecat ... <ng0>seems normal permissions <nckx>ebrasca: …you can't view PNGs? Oh. <apteryx>nckx: console-keymap-service! this must be a new thing :-) I'll have to try it out. <nckx>ebrasca: Try ‘/var/guix/profiles/per-user/ebrasca/current-guix/bin/guix system reconfigure …’. <nckx>apteryx: New in Guix 0.11.0 😛 <jackhill>In procedure mkstemp!: Permission denied <ebrasca>guix system: error: symlink: Permiso denegado: "/var/guix/profiles/system-4-link.new" <jackhill>I assume that this is some interaction between substitute* and trivial-build-system *nckx never uses the console but it's nice not to have to hunt-and-type QWERTY when my system breaks. <nckx>ebrasca: Sorry, implied ‘sudo -E …’ was missing. <nckx>Did you try ‘sudo -E /var/guix/profiles/per-user/ebrasca/current-guix/bin/guix system reconfigure …’? What happens then? <apteryx>ebrasca: "give some text" is not a useful information for us when we're trying to help you :-) <apteryx>could you post said text to paste.debian.net? <ebrasca>My comand to upload to some pastebin don't work. <kmicu>ebrasca: apteryx FIY in my case installing fonts eg. font-sil-charis solved missing glyphs (rectangles instead of fonts) in IceCat issue. <apteryx>kmicu: interesting! If it ever comes back I'll remember it! Thanks for sharing. <kmicu>‘Instalación terminada. No se notificó ningún error.’ so it lookes good. <ebrasca>kmicu: Yea I have my icecat with text XD <nckx>ebrasca: OK, so *NOW* updating Guix is as easy as guix pull && guix … :-P <bavier>jackhill: you're running substitute* on a file in the store, which is a no-no :) <nckx>Or ‘sudo -E guix system …’ when doing rooty stuff. <bavier>jackhill: you should copy the source script into the build directory, substitute* it, then install <bavier>jackhill: also, doing a single substitute* would save a read-write cycle <nckx>ebrasca: It probably will if you use the full path (but no sudo!) again. <kmicu>ebrasca: if you want to update system to the latest version you run ‘guix pull’ to pull latest changes and then ‘sudo -E guix system reconfigure /path/to/your/config.scm’. To install a font you use ‘guix package -i font-sil-charis’ and restart IceCat. <kmicu>ebrasca: Could you show what ‘guix pull’ gives you? <nckx>kmicu: The issue is that ‘guix pull’ doesn't work. <nckx>ebrasca: Then, if that works, I'd just reconfigure again and reboot and hope the environmental mess sorts itself out. <jackhill>bavier: should I use copy-file to copy the source script? <bavier>jackhill: yes, that should be fine <nckx>That auto-migration always seemed a bit too complicated for its own good. Does anyone know what it's trying to copy? I'd be tempted to just remove (rename) the old source. <kmicu>ebrasca: what about ‘guix pull’ only? Gives the same text? <kmicu>Better to check whether guix is in PATH. <kmicu>(Cuz there’s an absolute path to guix in the snippet.) <nckx>kmicu: guix isn't in the path, that's part of the problem. <kmicu>On stock Guix System 0.16 install? <nckx>ebrasca: Try ‘mv ~/.config/guix ~/.config/guix.old’ and ‘/…/bin/guix pull’ again. <nckx>ebrasca: Asido: you shouldn't ‘sudo -E guix pull’. <nckx>ebrasca: It might work but it's not necessary. <ebrasca>nckx: mv guix to guix-old and sudo -E guix pull don't work <kmicu>Maybe root owns user’s files now and that’s the problem. <nckx>ebrasca: Drop the sudo -E and use the full path (that's the /…/bin/ I meant above). <nckx>kmicu: …yeah. I eeked when I read that. <ebrasca>nckx: I have reboot I don't have saved full path <nckx>ebrasca: /var/guix/profiles/per-user/ebrasca/current-guix/bin/guix pull :-) <kmicu>Literal commands are most helpful in this case. <kmicu>ebrasca: could you show ‘ls -al ~/.config/’ <kmicu>Also ‘ls -al /var/guix/profiles/per-user/’ would be useful. <nckx>ebrasca: Please ‘mv /home/ebrasca/.config/guix /home/ebrasca/.config/guix.old’. <ebrasca>nckx: I have deleted guix and guix.old after not working *nckx goes to stare at the codez again. <ebrasca>Maybe I need to reinstall GuixSD againg? <kmicu>Maybe we can ‘rm /var/guix/profiles/per-user/ebrasca/current-guix’, Guix should recreate links anyway during guix pull/reconfigure. <kmicu>If guix pull complains about it ‘guix pull: error: symlink: El fichero ya existe: "/var/guix/profiles/per-user/ebrasca/current-guix"’ then why not 😺 <nckx>ebrasca: OK, let's try this. ‘rm -r ~/.config/guix && mkdir ~/.config/guix && ln -s /var/guix/profiles/per-user/ebrasca/current-guix ~/.config/guix/current’ <kmicu>(And after that better not run commands as root willy-nilly :) <kmicu>(That can destroy any distro from Arch to Ubuntu.) <ebrasca>kmicu: I have gentoo for years and 0 problems... <nckx>ebrasca: You've been asked multiple times to stop running guix pull under sudo. <ebrasca>nckx: I have first try with no sudo ... <nckx>Now you'll have to run the first rm in my list above with sudo, too. <nckx>ebrasca: The proper reaction to a command not working is never ’run it as root instead’ :-s <nckx>Not by default, at least. <ebrasca>Why 2 people are giving me 2 diferent directions? <ebrasca>nckx: I can run "rm -r ~/.config/guix" with no sudo ... <kmicu>ebrasca: I think there is miscomunication here. We only neet sudo during system reconfiguration (that needs to change serious things like grub entries) and nothing more. <ebrasca>kmicu: Do you say some random user can install packages? <nckx>Also, kmicu only said ‘Maybe we can…’. <kmicu>That’s the whole point. Yes. <nckx>ebrasca: Anyone can install packages to their own profile. <nckx>That is indeed the point (one of them) of Guix. <nckx>ebrasca: If you install a keylogger, it can log your keys. <kmicu>Users have no access to each other profiles. They cannot mess up w/o root rights. <nckx>ebrasca: Have you tried ‘rm -r ~/.config/guix && mkdir ~/.config/guix && ln -s /var/guix/profiles/per-user/ebrasca/current-guix ~/.config/guix/current && /var/guix/profiles/per-user/ebrasca/current-guix/bin/guix pull’ yet? <ebrasca>nckx: You have add 1 more comand to what I have run and full path for some parts... <ebrasca>nckx: ok guix pull for now is working ***Server sets mode: +cnt
<kmicu>ebrasca: do you have many packages installed that you want such thing? <ebrasca>kmicu: I like to use install system and have all my packages... *nckx overreacted. Please bear in mind we're just volunteers, and having to repeat ourselves multiple times can suck the joy out of helping. Sorry. <ebrasca>nckx: I am stupid , I only know programing in cl ... <nckx>ebrasca: If you have a working system configuration file you're almost there. You can add a ‘packages’ field to your operating-system declaration and those packages will be available system-wide. <kmicu>ebrasca: do you have /etc/config.scm file? <nckx>ebrasca: You can't be stupid if you use Guix. <nckx>This is both a conclusion and an imperative. <kmicu>There should be a line there like ‘(packages (cons screen %base-packages))’ <kmicu>You can add there packages you want like e.g. ‘(packages (cons screen icecat vi font-sil-charis %base-packages))’ and then ‘sude -E guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm’ <kmicu>So you already added zsh, icecat. Keep adding more. <kmicu>Is this what you want or did you ask about something different? <ebrasca>kmicu: I have install some packages with guix package -i <ebrasca>kmicu: Now I don't remember what ther are. <ebrasca>kmicu: It is painfull to need to remember all packages.
