<nckx>lilyp: ‘We tried it at home and it worked on *both* Ubuntu laptops! Ship it!’ <lilyp>Pfft, obviously not. Let's also check with Greg, who uses Mint. <dstolfa>nckx: not only did it work on the one ubuntu laptop, but the kubuntu laptop too! *nckx nods. Sometimes you just want to quit (). <rekado_>now I have all the libs but it crashes with this error: Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file: No such file: (null) <nckx>dstolfa: So you're saying it's operating-system agnostic? <rekado_>guess i’ll have to build this from source <dstolfa>nckx: i have OS-agnostic ansible scripts too. they work on RHEL, alma, rocky and oracle linux <lilyp>On a more serious note, I think "most Linux machines" means "Debian and Fedora, maybe also Gentoo and Arch" <the_tubular>I'm planning for guix-home and there are some configs I'm not ready to make available to anyone yet <dstolfa>lilyp: on one hand i understand it, time constraints and all that... but on the other hand :-( <lilyp>I mean, we already have a format that's known to work on most* Linux distros, and that's called source code. <lilyp>You can even make it binary through compression :) <dstolfa>well eh, not really... you could easily depend on something that some distros don't ship <lilyp>remember we don't need all distros, but most* <dstolfa>and then you have to take into consideration of supporting just linux vs supporting other operating systems as well <lilyp>do *BSD offer a convenient binary format? <dstolfa>ELF that is different from the linux one :') <lilyp>Well, AppImages are also ELF, but different <dstolfa>and of course, with subtle differences in libc and the likes <lilyp>Come to think of ELF, has someone written a serious application targetting DWARF bytecode yet? <lilyp>dunno, let's start with something simple: ed <dstolfa>i mean, debuggers use DWARF extensively, i'm not sure if ed/cat would need to <dstolfa>unless you mean implementing ed in DWARF's weird state machine thingy <lilyp>the latter, implementing some serious tool completely as DWARF bytecode <lilyp>maybe send out some emails from it while I'm at it <lilyp>just throwing out some random ideas late at night <attila_lendvai>is anyone running macos in a vm under guix? if so, what are th outlines of a working setup? which virtualization, viewer, etc...? <attila_lendvai>ouch, sorry for the repeated question, this wasn't the terminal... maybe i also should go to bed... :) <lilyp>dunno about macos, but I once ran the other evil OS in qemu <roptat>\o/ just built kotlin-0.8.84, I'm getting closer, though it's slow progress :) <nckx>I've spent too many years in Schemeland. <nckx>I read ‘macros’ thrice and wondered what the hell you were on about. <sneek>brettgilio, you have 1 message! <sneek>brettgilio, cybersyn says: "blake says hi! shoot him an email at blake atch sweatshoppe dotorg" <lilyp>Well, running macros in a docker container can be problematic at times, so I usually use guix deploy to run them over the cloud. <nckx>Glad to hear that. No need to apologise. <nckx>Life… finds a way [to get in the way sometimes]. <brettgilio>good to see you all for this brief moment before I head to dinner! <nckx>I run all my lambdas serverless; I use a laptop instead. <nckx>brettgilio: I'd never /msg someone unprovoked, but good point. Enjoy. <dissoc>how do i run a gui app with guix environment containers? <dissoc>i was doing that. but i took it out and now it works. so i guess i got it <iskarian>Is there a way to remove an implicit input from a package (not a gnu-build-system package)? <brettgilio>iskarian can you put the recipe in a paste and let me know what youre trying to remove? I assume by implicit you mean from a closure that was inherited? <iskarian>brettgilio, it's a bit more complicated than one package. I'm having the build system add an implicit input, but I'd like that implicit input to also use the build system. <iskarian>I can filter it out by name, but that seems hacky. <brettgilio>im still confused what you mean by implicit, do you mean an input inherited from another package? <iskarian>by implicit I mean: an input added in LOWER <iskarian>I'll share a paste, but I'm not sure it'll help. <brettgilio>I had to do some refreshing on our build system toolchains <brettgilio>package-with-c-toolchain, but I think what youre wanting is more complex than just that <iskarian>Yeah, I see package-with-explicit-inputs, but that's for gnu-build-system AFAICT <iskarian>There's package-mapping and package-input-rewriting, but they don't seem to let me replace with #f <singpolyma>Is there any way to use (source (local-file but specify a hash? Or alternately to use (source (origin (method git-fetch but fetch from a local directory? <singpolyma>What I'm *actually* trying to do: build a package locally from source I have locally, guix archive --export the build, scp the archive to a server, guix archive --import on server, install the package without building anything and without copying the source to the server (just the package description) <iskarian>singpolyma, I haven't used it personally, but this sounds like "guix copy" <iskarian>or perhaps "guix deploy", but I'm even less familiar with that one. <singpolyma>The core thing here is that I need guix install to know from just the package description that it has everything in store already and does not need to download or build anything. This only works if the package description has a hash of the source <iskarian>Hmmm. Have you just tried using a directory path as the URL for git-fetch? Or even "file://path/to/repo"? <singpolyma>yes, that doesn't work because guix build runs in a chroot or something <iskarian>well, no, that shouldn't affect git-fetch I don't think <singpolyma>I added an (invoke "ls" "/" in the git fetch code and it showed not /home at all, for example <singpolyma>I had to put git-fetch into recursive mode to even get access to cat or ls anyway, heh, so definitely running in some environment <iskarian>I know you can use --with-source or --with-git-url on the command line and use a file path <iskarian>It's a bit of a sideways solution, but you could set up a local git server <iskarian>okay, so I have solution for you singpolyma! On your build machine, run `git daemon --base-path=/path/to/dir/with/repos /path/to/dir/with/repos'; in each repo you want to serve, `touch .git/git-daemon-export-ok'; then in git-fetch, use "git://localhost/my-repo" <iskarian>the remote shouldn't need to be able to access the build machine for this <acrow>Maybe that's more than you require bc I think I read that you are just moving from guix to guix. ***califax- is now known as califax
<singpolyma>Is there an equivalent to guile -e for guix? I know there is guix repl, but I just want to run an expression in an interpreter that knows how to load all the guix internal modules <the_tubular>Is there a package for Emacs application framework ? <iyzsong>singpolyma: guix repl can run a script file, or something like: guix repl <(echo '(pk ...)'), or: ehco ... | guix repl /dev/stdin <apteryx>eh; 'guix pull: error: cloning builder process: Invalid argument' on a buildroot os <apteryx>I guess that's because no user namespace is not enaled for its kernel <apteryx>that's workable using the --disable-chroot argument of the guix-daemon <iskarian>apteryx, do you happen to know who would know which packages actually use the guile bindings of gnutls? <brendyn>I notice we aren't using libglvnd in Guix with mesa. I'm wondering if that is something we should do? I'm updating KDE frameworks and it became needed by plasma-framework <brendyn>but adding i as an input there seems odd. maybe it should be a propagated input of mesa? <be>Hi, first time using Guix distro. I wanted to use `gtk-launch`, so I ran `guix install gtk+` and I can see hidden in the store there is a binary for `gtk-launch` now, but for some reason it is not linked in `~/.guix-profile/bin/` (other applications are linked there no problem). Am I supposed to manually create a symlink, or did I do something wrong? <be>Perfect, that worked :) ***iyzsong- is now known as iyzsong
<dale`>Doing the basic thing of git-fetching guix, 'guix environment guix', './configure', and find that configure fails because PKG_GUILE(3.0) looks for a guile.pc but there is only a guile-3.0.pc in the $PKG_CONFIG_PATH directory. Does anyone know a quick way to proceed, and is this a reported issue? <pinoaffe>hi guix! I want to make a guix channel that, when added to your channels.scm, causes an additional guix importer to be available from the command line - is there a better way to do this than to monkey-patch the variable "importers" in (guix scripts import)? <pinoaffe>or, alternatively, could one alter import.scm in such a way as to permit extension? ***iskarian is now known as Guest522
<apteryx>not sure what this means: guix substitute: error: TLS error in procedure 'handshake': Function was interrupted; trying to `guix pull` from an underpowered arm box <dale`>I'm seeing TLS errors all over the place; it is a real pig of a show-stopping bug. I'm trying to work it out myself, but if anyone has any hints for me that would be really great. <kozo[m]>I had a few devices seeing the TLS errors. I ended up having to wipe and image them to fix it <apteryx>this is from 1.3.0, on a bare bone buildroot OS <apteryx>the rootfs is also on NFS; not a typical install :-) <dale`>My rootfs is also on NFS; I'm PXE booting a diskless machine. But the error also shows up on foreign installs. <apteryx>is this even occurring when pulling from a recent Guix? I'm pulling from 1.3.0 <dale`>Bang up to date, from the head of the GIT repository. <apteryx>iskarian: don't we have a guile-gnutls package? <apteryx>ah, seems they come with the gnutls package nowadays <PurpleSym>rekado: I’m updating all Haskell packages from stackage, but I can’t build pandoc, due some weird error: guix build: error: reference to invalid output 'static' of derivation '/gnu/store/izjwd1wnf3w3brcjjazy5dj91brdgd4i-ghc-next-8.8.4.drv' <zamfofex>PurpleSym: Maybe I’m off, but I think the error is talking about a ‘static’ output of the “ghc-next” package, rather than of Pandoc. <PurpleSym>Yeah, probably, zamfofex. But I don’t understand why 8.8.4. I’m using GHC 8.10. <lilyp>but what's the ghc-next package saying? <lilyp>if you're (inadvertently) trying to mix ghc-8.10 with ghc-next-8.8 the warning would make sense <civodul>sneek: later tell yoctocell i just realized that "git tag xyz" is non-interactive <iskarian>Does anyone know which packages actually use the guile bindings of gnutls? <cybersyn`>hiya guix, hope you don't mind me cross posting here, but #guile has been a bit quiet. I want to port a program from chez to guile, and I'm wondering if anyone has written a blog post or written a tool that might help swiften my journey? <PurpleSym>sneek: later tell yoctocell It seems the cabal importer does not support the elif statement.

Some file systems (notably ext4) truncate files when you crash. You should run ‘guix gc --verify=contents,repair’ which is a best-effort fsck for the store. If the file system isn't taking good care of the data that Guix gives it, there's only so much Guix can do. <nckx>Honestly, since I wrote that I'm no longer 100% sure that Guix doesn't have some very subtle (and rare!) problem in that area. <civodul>d'you know that 'generic-git' updater's in the house? \o/ <iskarian>important to note that it just allows checking for updates right now! <civodul>right! but the rest is coming along too :-) <civodul>pkill9: i was looking at your link and no, idk; are there messages from U-Boot above? <nckx>moshy: Thanks!
