<shcv>if you make a guix system definition without specifying a kernel, what does it do? <shcv>e.g., could I install the kernel separately, and just leave that part out? <leoprikler>afaik guix defaults to some linux (usually latest, but not always) <leoprikler>I'm not sure if (kernel noop) would be a good idea <vagrantc>shcv: i've run Guix System on a handful of arm/arm64 boards <vagrantc>a bit rough around the edges ... you really want a good amount of ram <shcv>interesting; what's it need the ram for? <vagrantc>just running "guix pull" it a fairly expensive computational process <vagrantc>had an install on a pine64+ with 2GB of ram, which is pretty much just like the sopine <shcv>maybe using a different workflow, pulling, packing, and deploying from a different pc <vagrantc>i did run it briefly on a wandboard solo with 512MB of ram, and it swapped just running guix pull <vagrantc>substitutes are often not available for arm or aarch64, so you end up compiling a lot of the time <vagrantc>so for all those reasons, i wouldn't try Guix System on anything less than 2GB of ram <vagrantc>you can do offloading to a more powerful machine to build substitutes, or build system images on another machine ... that somewhat works around the various problems <vagrantc>lately, i've mostly run guix on a pinebook pro, rockpro64, novena and veyron-speedy ... all of which have ~4GB of ram <shcv>offloading makes sense; is it possible to offload the pull though? <leoprikler>IIRC pull pulls from CI just as well as normal packages if it can <shcv>since my RPi's are booted from microSD cards anyway, maybe I could just stick them into my laptop briefly to do the guix pull whenever I want to update them <shcv>possibly with PRoot or something <leoprikler>I would hazard a guess, that bug numbers are shared between packages, so you can't really filter out non-Guix ones ;) <zimoun`>yes, but somehow emacs-debbugs does. <leoprikler>it's just that it doesn't complain if you manually enter a number that's not associated with guix <zimoun`>I agree, issues.guix.gnu.org is better than debbugs.gnu.org or bug.gnu.org.

<nalaginrut>Is there an easier way to install Guix in a different mount point? I created a large partition, and mount it to /gnu, however, I have to patch guix-install each time. The problem is the `mv /tmp/guix-XXX /gnu` ***catonano_ is now known as catonano
<roptat>nalaginrut, hm... can you report this as a bug to bug-guix@gnu.org? or to guix-patches@gnu.org if you can provide a patch to the installer script to make it handle both cases (when /gnu exists and when it doesn't) ***jonsger1 is now known as jonsger

This is particularly useful when there are multiple toolchain packages in a manifest, where they will <dongcarl>My naive thinking: derive a hidden package <wleslie>I'm sorry, you have a profile in your container, and a profile for your user, and a manifest; and the manifest describes both these profiles? <dongcarl>wleslie: I have a custom manifest file, which I run `guix environment --container --manifest` on, and I would like a few packages in that manifest to not exist in the profile inside the container, does that make sense? <dongcarl>I don't want to remove those packages from the manifest, because I want them to be available in the container, but just not in the profile in the container <wleslie>I see. I don't have a better idea, sorry. <Elephant454>Hey, so I was having some trouble getting SDDM and Sway working. I'm getting weird issues with Emacs not being able to find things.

But if you package vscode in guix it would be a 'clean' build (with out MS's stuffs). But vscodium changes the icons and branding and stuff. It's like firefox and ice-cat. Except this firefox (vscode) has quite a lot of shady stuffs. <Brendan[m]2>i know libre software folks may be very quick to say its bad, i dont want to make false claims <leoprikler>IIUC vscode™ is based on vscode and bakes in the telemetry and stuff, no? <peanutbutterandc>I understand. I used vscodium instead of vscode just because it was a separate build by independent folks. I don't trust MS all that much (says someone who still uses Github). <leoprikler>peanutbutterandc: not using aegisub, but I'll try it on Guix system to see what goes wrong <peanutbutterandc>leoprikler, Thank you very much! (And you're working on guix-android thingy. I'm following your gitlab RSS. Tsukundere seems very interesting. <leoprikler>If you want an example for Tsukundere, you'll find one in the Lisp Game Jam. I sadly can't package it for GNU Guix proper, because it's only open source, not free as in free speech :( <peanutbutterandc>leoprikler, Agh! I am again confusing you with someone else. Dang it. But hey, I'm still following your gitlab RSS and tsukundere seems like it's a great thing. (I would like to learn game/visual-novel dev someday). <wleslie>hmm, I've `git clean` in this `guix environment guix guile guile-json` and re-run bootstrap, and now that fails `possible undefined macro: GUILE_MODULE_AVAILABLE` <peanutbutterandc>leoprikler, could I have a URL please? (I'll be searching around in the meantime) <leoprikler>If you don't find it right now, wait until the entries are public. I'd rather not advertise it here. <leoprikler>I had a look at aegisub and as expected it does produce audio correctly in Guix system <peanutbutterandc>leoprikler, could you please try `guix environment --pure --ad-hoc aegisub`? <leoprikler>`guix environment -E DISPLAY -E XAUTHORITY -E 'XDG_*' --pure --ad-hoc aegisub -- aegisub-3.2` <leoprikler>I think this might be a problem w.r.t.

So does kdenlive (installed via guix).... <peanutbutterandc>the issue is that aegisub is looking for the .so files in the wrong place. It is looking for it somewhere which isn't even in the input list <leoprikler>be warned, that symlinks may get resolved by the build system <peanutbutterandc>leoprikler, I have looked at the union build separately (as a stand-alone package) and went into the /gnu/store and everything seems to be just fine there <leoprikler>still try union-build/copy and copy-recursively instead of symlink-relative <leoprikler>[union-build/copy is union-build with symlink replaced by copy-recursively] <leoprikler>If it still complains then, we can fairly certainly say, that it's not aegisub <leoprikler>no, you'll have to (define union-build/copy [copypasta union build, replace symlink with copy-recursively]) <peanutbutterandc>leoprikler, Still the same issue. I have a feeling it might have something to do with the pkg-config rules and stuff <leoprikler>you could try removing alsa from the inputs and directly adding pulseaudio <leoprikler>btw. i don't see them using pkg-config for alsa, instead they have AC_CHECK_LIB([asound], ...) <Brendan[m]2>found typo Additionaly (one l) in the manual, can someone with the ability to update the manual fix that up? ***mmohammadi98121 is now known as mmohammadi9812

<mihi>Hello :) Would it be possible to apply some kind of compression to the downloadable "latest guix Hurd" image? Any compression should get it down to <15% and it would make me download new version more often whenever I break the filesystem of my vm :) <mihi>by the way, I think I found why my Hurd VM randomly locks up while building packages in a 'guix pull': I now added a few hundred megs swapfile, swapon::ed it and since then it is running for around 12 hours building stuff without locking up :-) <mihi>still hope that even on my old crappy laptop I will someday manage to finish the pull and reconfigure it so that I don't have to monkey-patch my resolv.conf after every reboot. And maybe get some editor built that is not cat or sed. <mihi>but I read you are working on running childhurd on ci server - so we can get substitutes at some point? <mihi>And another question: Given I have a "hosed" ext2 image with Hurd in it (hosed as that even running "guix" complains about some missing files: Is there a way I can mount this in a guix hurd and test the store (against its hashes?) which packages are fine so that I can guix publish them to make the next try faster? <mihi>s/in a guix hurd/in a guix linux/ <mihi>reason the filesystem is hosed: deadlock in ext2 driver and then fsck went berserk. But something is still fine as the system still boots. <mihi>(so something like dism /offline /restorehealth, but not on Windows but on Guix, and I'm fine if it deletes all packages that do not match their hashes) <sneek>civodul, you have 1 message! <sneek>civodul, apteryx says: nice doc addition about the childhurd service! <civodul>i thought the image was already compressed <civodul>note that childhurds are volatile, so it's not useful to run "guix pull" in there <civodul>as for substitutes: we're working on it! <mihi>compressed it is about 175 MB, uncompressed 1.5GB <mihi>I'm not running it as a childhurd, but converted it to .vdi and run it as native VM in VirtualBox (on Windows). <mihi>childhurd would mean I run a VM inside a VM <zimoun`>Brendan[m]2: “ag Additionaly doc/*.texi” does not report any match. Could you indicate where you read the typo? Which version of the manual? <janneke>mihi: ah, compression would be good -- no idea; maybe ask mothacehe later <mihi>got to go - will be reading the logs later <janneke>mihi: in development, i have been using guix copy to save built items to the host <janneke>and pick them up as substitutes on a next build <civodul>janneke: i have a fix for the cross-built guile-lzlib! <civodul>but i realized i don't have commit rights to that repo, i'll ask mothacehe <pinoaffe>hi guix! I am trying to package https://github.com/mbriggs/emacs-pager , I think I need to add a phase that will copy the ruby script so it'll show up in PATH, can anyone point me to an example of how to add a phase from another build system to a package definition? <roptat>I'm trying to migrate from framagit to my own server, and I'm having some troubles setting up everything. I've added the gitolite service, so I can use git with ssh, which is good <roptat>however, I can't find a way to allow anonymous clones <leoprikler>pinoaffe: many packages in emacs-xyz do that to some extent <roptat>i tried adding a git-http-nginx-location-configuration and a fastcgi service, but the repo is not found <roptat>the repo has a git-daemon-export-ok file <leoprikler>have a look at e.g. emacs-howm, emacs-pdf-tools, emacs-libyaml, emacs-telega… <morgansmith>so I download a thing.tar.gz and a thing.tar.gz.sig but gpg --verify thing.tar.gz.sig just says: Can't check signature: No public key.

I don't know if it has significance in free software beyond street cred <guix-vits>mfg: If U will omit copyright, then Reviewer will add it, or ask U to do so. <mfg>I see. So less work if i just add it :D <roptat>mfg, yes you have to add it to gnu/local.mk <roptat>otherwise it won't be shipped in guix tarballs <roptat>guix-vits, for now I'm focusing on rtnetlink, which will allow us to replace the static-networking-service-type and improve networking support in guix containers <roptat>then probably netfilter, but it's much more difficult because I can't find any good documentation on the expected datastructures <roptat>the best I have is a go implementation of a small subset of it (unless it's actually very limited and that's all there is to it) <morgansmith>plz add support for defining a static network with both ipv4 and ipv6 at the same time on one interface <roptat>for now guile-netlink is very limited, all it can do is fetch information about a link by its id <roptat>mh... probably by name too, if i find out how <morgansmith>configure: error: ncurses development package is not installed <morgansmith>Are the dev files and dynamic files just in the ncurses package? ***mmohammadi98120 is now known as mmohammadi9812

Particularly sourceforge. Is this a well defined protocol? <civodul>peanutbutterandc: it's not a protocol, it's just a placeholder that (guix download) replaces with the actual URL <civodul>you can try "guix build -S some-package-on-sourceforge --no-substitutes" to see how that works in practice <civodul>also, "guix lint" probable suggests you the right mirror:// URI <peanutbutterandc>civodul, I see. Thank you, Mr. Courtes. It's just that I've been quite tired of guessing and tweaking the url over and over (and most of them not working). I will try the guix lint method then. <civodul>yw, and remember you're very much encouraged to omit "Mr" :-) <peanutbutterandc>I am only 24, and from a culture that doesn't address it seniors with names.

<roptat>cbaines, I managed to make it work, I have fastcgi run as fcgiwrap:git, and my repos are owned by git:git, with read-only access to the group <roptat>the only issue is that /var/lib/gitolite is owned by git:git and is 700 <cbaines>Right, that paste might help with that, as it changes /var/lib/gitolite to 750 <civodul>should chmod be done in the gitolite activation? <cbaines>maybe, if it's a frequent requirement to change the permissions, maybe it should be part of the service configuration <civodul>cbaines: if that's what it takes to make it work out of the box, we should do it ***daviid is now known as Guest65431
<morgansmith>is there a good way to remove lines in a file in guile based on a regex? Like remove all lines that start with "git" <guix-vits>(begin (port-filename p) (close p)) ; How's that that close() executed first? <guix-vits>OK: (begin (local-file (port-filename port)) (close port)) do not work. It working if (port-filename port) moved out of 'local-file'. <cbaines>guix-vits, local-file is some special syntax, as it captures the current source directory <jlicht>exciting stuff with the input-rewriting-on-steroids! :-) <badair>After I check out the guix repo, how do I actually _do_ the "Reduced Binary Seed Bootstrap" such that I don't use any substitutes? <badair>Does disabling substitutes imply bootstrapping? <sys2>badair: I don't think so... I'm not sure how to answer that part of your question <roptat>badair, yes, as long as you never used a substitute before <roptat>the reduced bootstrap means guix starts from a set of binaries and has definitions for other packages, until you reach the package you want <roptat>the build farm already performed the bootstrap for you, so if you request substitutes, you'll get substitutes that have been bootstrapped in this way <roptat>if you want to build everything yourself, from the reduced set of binaries, you just disable substitutes completely <mihi>janneke, thanks. I guess I have to learn what Guix consideres an "item". Can I for example tell it "copy everything you built during the last pull"? <mihi>Also, I think I had the misconception that Guix knows the hashes of the resulting binaries (like some other Reproducible Builds projects do it), but it seems that hash is "only" the hash of the inputs. So something like check whether packages are corrupted in store is not as trivial as I thought... <mihi>(which also means that a compromised substitutes server will not be noticed immediately - correct me if I am wrong here) <roptat>mihi, there's "guix build --check" and "guix challenge" that can mitigate that a bit <peanutbutterandc>Question: Is there a way by which, using `guix repl`, I can figure out where a package will end up, once it's built? Say, something like (package->ends-up-as hello) -> /gnu/store/actual-hash-hello ? <roptat>peanutbutterandc, with package->derivation maybe? <str1ngs>sneek: later tell luis-felipe . hello I did test nomad with gnome-shell on guix system.

Let me know if you are still effected by this. <peanutbutterandc>roptat, It returns a procedure that takes a 'store'.... what would I do now? I have tried supplying "/gnu/store" as store before. Didn't work. (I know that isn't what I'm supposed to input.) <roptat>peanutbutterandc, try this: (derivation-outputs ((package->derivation hello) (open-connection))) <str1ngs>terpri: I would also gladly use a a firefox as a embedded render if mozilla made suck a thing possible outside of the realm of xulrunner. <roptat>you'll need (guix store), (guix derivations) and (guix packages) as well as the module in which the package is defined <str1ngs>terpri: s/suck/such must have been a Freudian slip :P <peanutbutterandc>roptat, Oh wow! Super awesome! I'm going to do some serious jumping-through-hoops-in-my-package-definition with this one. (Pretty sure it won't be accepted into the gnu distribution now.) <roptat>although if it's for a package definition, inputs are defined in phases, and you can use them like that (suppose you have a "hello" input): (assoc-ref inputs "hello") -> gives you the output of the "hello" input <peanutbutterandc>roptat, Hmmm... question, how do I extract the 'path' from that? o.O what is the output a type of? o.O <guixy>Is there a good way to list the contents of a package object? <guixy>I'm debugging some tests.
