<mbakke>vagrantc: I haven't been following too closely, but end-of-october was the initial target. <vagrantc>1.2 will be the first version with authenticated guix pull, if i'm remembering correctly, which i was sort of waiting for (but not fully) <civodul>mbakke: there's something fishy in berlin-nodes.scm (?) and "guix deploy berlin-nodes.scm" gets stuck at some point <rekado>Zambonifofex: unfortunately, it fails to build. May need other packages to be upgraded as well. <Zambonifofex>rekado: I see. Well, if you’d prefer to not credit me at all, that’s fair enough, given that I don’t feel like I have put enough work to warrant it anyway. <terpri_>fnstudio, what/when is the guix conference? <nalaginrut>if I install guile with guix, the ffi can't load .so file from the original lib path, how can ffi load from guix? <kozo[m]>terpri_ Guix will hold its first online conference November 22nd. Propose a talk before November 6th. Learn more! <ryanprior>I gotta figure out how to run guix in a resource-constrained cgroup or something <ryanprior>I just had my system soft-locked for 20 minutes while Guix threw the whole kitchen sink into building clang <ryanprior>Like dang leave some cpu and memory for the rest of us. I run guix and it starts oomkilling all my apps. <pkill9>you can set the number of cores guix uses <ryanprior>I guess I'm lucky that I haven't had this happen before that I can recall, but damn now I know I can't trust it. I'll either figure out a way to constrain its memory & cpu usage or I'll just run it in a VM and offload to the host system. <ryanprior>Guix apparently interprets "use all the cores" as "you have permission to peg every core to 100% at highest priority, indefinitely" which has gotta change. <bdju>yeah using the machine can become hard while updates are running <ryanprior>It wouldn't accept hardly any keyboard input even <ryanprior>It took 5 minutes just to get it to switch to a virtual tty <pkill9>are you using earlyoom service ryanprior? <pkill9>it's better than the default one <pkill9>on my machine it killed the guix build before it froze up my machine <pkill9>just add the earlyoom service to your guix config and reconfigure if you want it <link2xt>if it does not accept input, it means Xorg has been unloaded from memory <link2xt>it's when program is constantly paged out of the memory and reloaded <link2xt>the problem is, when you are out of memory, linux unloads pages that can be reloaded, either from the disk or from swap <link2xt>if you disable swap, it still unloads all your program and then reloads them when it tries to execute them <link2xt>moving cursor etc. is a really cheap operation <link2xt>so if your cursor is freezed, it means that Xorg, some video driver, input driver etc. was unloaded <link2xt>and you are now waiting for cursor moving code to reload from HDD/SSD <link2xt>internet is full of advices to disable swap, disable overcommitment etc. <link2xt>this does not work, because binaries are backed by the files on HDD and can still be paged out <link2xt>memlockd simply does mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE) and then mmaps every binary with its .so dependencies into its own memory <link2xt>you can configure what to load there, but I simply added the whole /usr/bin/ with "+" prefix (which means load dependencies) <link2xt>it uses 1G now, but it's all shared memory, so it's useful <link2xt>when I compile something, compiler may be OOM-killed, but cursor never freezes <link2xt>earlyoom/oomd are heuristics, while memlockd strictly prohibits paging out of executables <link2xt>With memlockd you still need to provide it with paths to executables that you don't want to be unloaded in advance. <link2xt>Probably a better way is to fix ld-linux loader to mlock binaries after loading, but I have not tried it. <bdju>with `guix package --upgrade . --do-not-upgrade foo` what is the syntax like if I want to skip multiple things? I keep hitting build failures <bdju>in addition to syncthing, bombadillo has failed to build for me <bdju>I'm trying space-separated and I'll just see what happens in a few minutes <kozo[m]>When I use substitute-urls I have to use ' ' to surround multiple entries <kozo[m]>--do-not-upgrade 'syncthing bombadillo' <bdju>well, without quotes it either worked or bombadillo didn't fail this time <bdju>just ran upgrade without holding back anything but with --dry-run on the end and it says bombadillo and syncthing would upgrade, so I think it worked <bdju>I will maybe use single quotes in the future just to be safe, though. glad to know that would work ***catonano_ is now known as catonano
<apteryx>ryanprior: you're basically complaining about how linux sucks at handling resource exhaustion (that's not really Guix specific). That's why boilted-on solutions such as earlyoom exist (hint: there's a service for it in Guix, and it'll save you more than once). <ryanprior>I'm definitely looking into more of these things! But Guix is not entirely faultless. dpkg has never soft-locked my system in 12+ years of updates. <apteryx>dpkg doesn't build anything from source to install packages on your system :-) <ryanprior>True but beside the point. Running a normal routine guix command can soft-lock your system, and that's an implication of Guix's design <apteryx>I think the best way to handle this for users would be to allow a way to updates via substitutes only; some guix pull that'd use the knowledge from the Guix data service to pull the commit which has 100% substitutes coverage of you package collection, then the updates would be entirely binary. <apteryx>there's not much you can do when a package such as webkitgtk+ wants 12 GiB of RAM to build. <ryanprior>To get even more sophisticated, we could gather information about typical build times of packages and upgrade without substitute for packages that only take a short time. <kozo[m]>I ran into the same issue and as pkill9 said, I will add cores=total-1 to prevent that brutal softlock <kozo[m]>also running a local publish server has helped a ton <ryanprior>Whenever I upgrade I do a dry-run first, and then I add --do-not-upgrade flags for big packages if it wants to build them. That's not very user friendly, and it's a buzzkill to have to describe that process to people. <ryanprior>And in this case today I neglected to do that (I actually did the dry-run but misread the output) and then couldn't even back out. <ryanprior>Defaulting to cores-1, or to only upgrade from substitutes, sound like reasonable options to avoid that happening. <apteryx>default to cores-1 would make builds slower for everyone, while not guaranteeing to prevent resource exhaustion, so I'd much prefer option #2. It seems the technicalities already allow for it, we just need someone motivated to implement it. You seem to be that person ;-) <apteryx>I agree the user experience is not the best right now unless they have a good grasp of the build farms and other details (e.g., guix pull now and update in 12 hours will probably allow me to get better coverage) <ryanprior>I would love to implement #2. My Guile knowledge is pretty low-tier, and my guix data service knowledge is pretty bottom basement (I know it's run by cbaines, written in Guile, and uses Postgres, that's about it) <ryanprior>I'm also curious what performance characteristics it would have. <ryanprior>Suppose that, to build a new profile from the latest available substitutes for the packages in the current generation of my profile, I'd be getting packages from 6 versions of Guix. <ryanprior>Does that mean I pay 6*cost of a single guix pull? <apteryx>I was thinking about something more dump and simpler to get started: selecting a single guix revision that has the required coverage, or fail. <ryanprior>Yeah that would be a reasonable starting point. <apteryx>parameters could include how old you're ready to allow the guix to be <ryanprior>Right, you wouldn't want to back beyond where you're currently at. <apteryx>guix pull --with-coverage=100% --max-age=2d <vagrantc>you'd need to tell it what you want coverage of <vagrantc>apteryx: it's not a simple matter of time ... there's pretty much always something that's broken, unfortunately <apteryx>by default it could use your currently installed packages in your user profile, perhaps also those from your system profile <apteryx>vagrantc: not true for my 182 something package collection <vagrantc>apteryx: exactly, you have to tell it what you're asking coverage for <vagrantc>since "guix pull" is essentially a codified list of all available software in theory <apteryx>as I wrote it could be smart and use your user and system profile when you don't hint at anything else <apteryx>(and it could also allow you to pass extra profiles or manifests to get these included in the coverage) <vagrantc>seems more like something that guix weather would do <vagrantc>yeah, i'd think you'd want manifests or something, but implicit is not generally very guix ... being a functional package manager :) <vagrantc>but you'd get interesting quirks, such as when packages disappear or are renamed (although there's some mechanism to check for renames) <apteryx>vagrantc: I was thinking of implicit upon using 'guix pull --with-coverage', to make it as easy as possible for users. Not everyone manages their user profile with a manifest. <vagrantc>yeah, i'm pretty ad-hoc about using manifests <vagrantc>it doesn't seem appropriate for guix pull, though. <apteryx>since you need guix at a specifically choosen revision to update with 100% substitutes coverage, it seems natural to provide a UI on 'guix pull' to do so, since git pull is about fetching a installing a Guix revision. <vagrantc>apteryx: if you're itching to implement, probably worth discussing on the list ... possibly even a bug report already about that sort of thing <vagrantc>it seems like "guix pull" should consume the result of some other command... similar to "guix time-machine" <apteryx>sure, perhaps guix pull could rely on the internals of 'guix weather'. That's an implementation detail. I was thinking in terms of UI only. <xelxebar>Oh nice. I've had guix cripple my (~8 yo) laptop several times---X stuff all gets paged out, etc. Finally decided to spin up a build offload vm just to keep from hitting the oom kiss of everlasting wait. <apteryx>xelxebar: also consider using the earlyoom-service-type <apteryx>it removes the everlasting wait from the equation ;-) <apteryx>congrats for the successful offload setup! Did you hit some bumps configuring it? <xelxebar>apteryx: Cheers. Just read the discussion above and saw mention of earlyoom and memlockd. <xelxebar>apteryx: Thanks! Offload setup was pretty straightforward. It went almost without a hitch. For some reason guix offload test was failing to start guile at first. <xelxebar>I fiddled with the config a bit, but after returning the settings to what I had originally, it just started working for some reason :/ <wleslie>does anyone know how to generate a Makefile.in within newlib? automake says "error: support for Cygnus-style trees has been removed" <wleslie>cygnus being the group that wrote newlib before being acquired by hedrat <apteryx>xelxebar: did it fixed itself without intervention (the guile not starting issue)? <apteryx>ah, just read your last message, seems it fixed itself automagically, eh <apteryx>there's a transient issue where sometimes offload complains about guile not found, perhaps that's what you had <wleslie>or maybe... can guix give me an older version of automake? the package list doesn't say anything about different versions, and only includes 1.16.2 <xelxebar>Anyone here a neovim user? How are you providing the python(2) "neovim" module(s)? <apteryx>wleslie: if guix show automake doesn't list many versions, you'd have to git log --grep='gnu: automake', pick the guix revision with the version you like, then 'guix time-machine COMMIT -- guix environment --ad-hoc automake' <Zambonifofex>Pfft. Guix seems to be doubting its own existence! 😅 Kinda philosophical of it, to be honest. 🧐 <janneke>eh, that would be: guix time-machine --commit=<commit> -- environment --ad-hoc automake <wleslie>thanks heaps janneke, I was just poking around with various --help <wleslie>guix --help time machine -> guix: unrecognized option '--help' ; Try `guix --help' for more information. <wleslie>hmm, this commit is too old.

I could send there a WIP patch ;) <sss2>looks like it's different problem <maav>it seems that i solve everything with boot-parameters... but the thing is that the info is needed somehow :-( <sss2>can you provide some info ? <maav>not solved really, the thing is that grub-install checks the encryption for /boot partition, but not for the files we provide for booting in /gnu/store, IIRC <sss2>so what options i have ? <maav>my patch unlocked all the partitions, but that wasn't optimal neither <maav>i guess the only supported configuration for that is that /gnu/store and /boot are in the same encrypted partition (i have that everywhere) <sss2>so decryption will be done by grub ? <sss2>does it support luks2 with argon2 ? <maav>nope, you have to provide it twice (yet(?)) <maav>i mean, i'm not 100% sure what algorithms are currently supported by our grub version, but that way it puts into the image the correct uuid to decrypt <maav>the real solution would need to traverse the device path up to our store and add them to the image <maav>grub depends on the hardware, but guix must only depend on the operating system definition, so mapped-devices and file-systems is enough knowledge to do that <sss2>i am even more confused now <maav>sss2: tl;dr is what efraim said, it isn't supported yet unless to split boot into a separate partition when /gnu/store is encrypted :( <sss2>m..., so i should try sing encrypted partition ? <OriansJ>the only thing you need to ensure is that cryptsetup is in your package list <Zambonifofex>OriansJ: Note that sss2 seems to have left due to a timeout. <maav>i've just seen d66a4eac44, neat :) <civodul>maav: yes, i'm growing tired of the clunky HTML! <maav>hmmm: 'This page is intended to redirect to the result of a search request.

There are a few things that git supports and that libgit does not. For instance, you cannot have your git repo as a static "simple" repo and have guix pull it, you need the more complex setup with CGI and stuff <roptat>leoprikler, not really, if you have suggestions, it'd be nice <leoprikler>I feel like the examples should use some grey, that is between the colour of the header line and the body. <leoprikler>So that both @example and @deffn @example make sense when put against @deffn <leoprikler>Perhaps we could also round the @deffn corners a bit <leoprikler>we have the range from #eeeeee to #fafafa if I'm not mistaken <roptat>you can use the inspector in icecat or any browser you use to change the CSS live and tests things <roptat>I'm not sure what you want to do, so either explain better, or send a patch :) <leoprikler>I think setting div.lisp and some other background colors from #f2efe4 (which is definitely not a "grey" tone) to #f6f6f6 (or maybe something a bit less light like #f2f2f2) <leoprikler>anyway, me → afk, maybe I'll formalize it tomorrow <vagrantc>hrm. for some reason u-boot isn't getting updated on a pinebook-pro or pinebook <vagrantc>as in, in builds, says it's installing it ... but it doesn't actually install anything <vagrantc>or at least, nothing ends up on the target media... *civodul is in a documentation mood <civodul>translators will hate me but hey, that'll pay off! <roptat>also, I don't get to translate it, as someone else stepped in to do it :) <maav>civodul, surely I don't hate you neither :) <zimoun`>Chinesse speaker here?

This machine learning stuff puts free software in an unfortunate place. <hadi>Hi guys. I'm a trisquel user. I heard about GNU/Guix. I researched it on the internet but did not find out exactly what it is. Is it a GNU distro or a package manager!? will you please tell me. Is it worth installing? what it is exactly? thanks... <vagrantc>hadi: it's a package manager, and also a distro <vagrantc>hadi: the package manager can co-exist with other package manages on other distros ... or you can install a fully guix system that only uses guix packages <hadi>vagrantc thanks for reply. Is it easy to install? Is the environment graphical? <rekado_>zimoun``: re fonts: that depends on the variant of TeX you use. <zimoun``>jackhill: it is still an open question… well AFAIK, no policy on pre-trained neural networks. <vagrantc>i'm mostly familiar with the guix commandline ... i think there's a emacs interface for it... <rekado_>lualatex has a font loader that allows you to use your existing OTF fonts <rekado_>xelatex has something similar, but weirder <vagrantc>hadi: there's a script you can download that will install it ... haven't used it much myself <rekado_>pdflatex doesn’t, so you need special font metrics and all that stuff <rekado_>I can’t say I know this stuff well at all, but I know that fonts and LaTeX are frustrating. <rekado_>it’s especially bad in the modular TeX Live because I’m sure we’re missing something somewhere. <rekado_>I’m still trying to fix an important lualatex package so that we can actually recommend using it. <zimoun``>rekado_: thank you for explaining. For the PDF manual, by default it currently uses pdftex, right? LuaTeX would be nice to have. <jackhill>zimoun``: yes, and I see why there isn't one. It's not clear to me what the right policy should be. <zimoun``>and yes we are missing something somewhere… <rekado_>you can overwrite this by setting one (or all?) of the PDFTEX, LATEX, and/or PDFLATEX variables. <rekado_>I think we’re really close to a well-working modular TeX Live <rekado_>there are some known issues that are just boring to fix, but not impossible <rekado_>but the configuration is really … quirky and hard to set up correctly <zimoun``>I agree and the manual (with translations) is a good use-case. :-0 <rekado_>so while I can’t see anything obvious that we’re doing wrong I’m sure it would be good to go through the profile hook and texlive-union expression by expression. <rekado_>it still irks me that the profile hook doesn’t use texlive-union directly <rekado_>I already have a few more replacement packages (e.g. texlive-context instead of the arbitrary subset texlive-context-base), but that sadly didn’t fix anything. *rekado_ pushes the R upgrade <rekado_>sneek: later tell civodul The new manual hyperlinks are superb! *zimoun`` is \o/ for R upgrade
