<robin>jackhill, yeah, i'd consider that a (wishlist-priority) bug. i've run into that too <singpolyma>I know this is more a guile question, but is there a way to do multiline strings? <nckx>Although if you just want a plain string, you can just write "a\ <nckx>b" depending on whether you do or don't want the newline in your string. <nckx>You probably knew that already though. *nckx â very sleepy đ´đ¤ time, good night. ***califax- is now known as califax

Fun. <iskarian>apteryx, do you perchance have access to a log of a successful aircrack-ng build? (one that actually works)? <iskarian>I'm suspecting the DEPMOD warning, but I don't know enough about linux kernel modules to tell if the warning is "normal" <iskarian>ah, I misspoke, it was a "CONFIX_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support" warning <iskarian>"CONFIG_X86_X32: Include code to run binaries for the x32 native 32-bit ABI for 64-bit processors. An x32 process gets access to the full 64-bit register file and wide data path while leaving pointers at 32 bits for smaller memory footprint. You will need a recent binutils (2.22 or later) with elf32_x86_64 support enabled to compile a kernel with this option set." <iskarian>it looks like we've been building the kernel with this for a while, though <apteryx>yeah, I don't get why we get the warning, binutils should be available (which version though?) <apteryx>(see %final-inputs in (gnu packages commencement)) <apteryx>the Makefile in the aircrack-ng project has its own install prefix variable, but we don't use it AFAIU <apteryx>(we use the kernel's own module build system Makefiles) <Guest53>I have had some decent success with Cuirass for my personal project, I have a bunch of questions however.

Each package I use will have one service, which will extend home-files-service-type, to populate configuration files for that package and home-bash-service-type to alter bash[rc|_profile].

I appreciate it ;) \m/\m/ <sodi[m]>I've been using the Guix System for about a month and it takes up a lot of hard drive memory, what are the commands to free up space? <abrenon>first, if you've tested many configurations in the begining, adding and removing software as you made yourself comfy, you may have many older system *generations* around <abrenon>these take some space because guix allows you to revert back to any of them (they show up in grub's menu, and you can list them with guix system list-generations) <abrenon>once you've decided which you didn't need any longer, you can use guix system delete-generations on them <abrenon>this will only tell guix it can stop caring, and they become elligible for garbage collection, which is triggered separately by calling guix gc <abrenon>you may want to update your system before that <abrenon>because updating sometimes requires pulling temporary dependencies, for instance if the packages you need aren't available or if there is some content that needs to be generated with tools you haven't explicitely requested in your environment <abrenon>(I think I've seen one package using pandoc to output some documentation, for instance, so if you didn't specify pandoc to be installed, it would be removed by gc, but pulled again when you update⌠so if you're going to do a little bit of cleaning and you can still afford the space, you probably want to upgrade first) <efraim>I don't think 'guix home build -n' works <tricon>I have a machine manifest for use with guix deploy. After a successfuly deployment, if I only change the IP address in static-networking-service and redeploy, the networking-* service for the given interface is not restarted in order to affect the new IP address. Is this expected behavior? <civodul>tricon: hi! it's expected in the sense that restarting it would restart services that depend on it, which may or may not be what you want <tricon>civodul: I had a feeling that would be the case, which makes sense. I read through a mailing list thread re: such. Is there a recommended way to restart the service? Good ol' ssh + command? <tricon>Got it, thank ye for the clarifications! <civodul>i'd like to add a way to tell "guix deploy" to, say, always restart a given set of services upon success <tricon>Definitely not an easy thing to tackle in total. <civodul>tricon: right, though this one is about "guix system reconfigure", which is another story <roptat>ah I forgot to do it yesterday... we're missing a few files in po/guix/POTFILES.in, notably the new "guix home" related files <civodul>roptat: yes, i was pretty sure that'd be the case :-) <attila_lendvai>is anyone here by any chance familiar with the updating of the bootstrap binary guile in guix? it's very old (2.0.9), and it lacks something i wanted to use. if it's simple enough, i'd appreciate if someone would do it. details in: http://issues.guix.gnu.org/50878#4 <civodul>attila_lendvai: hey :-) like i wrote on #bootstrappable, we probably won't update the bootstrap Guile <civodul>mostly because we try not to change those big binary seeds, because they're opaque <abrenon>roptat: does that mean more untranslated strings added to weblate ? <roptat>actually, we're missing a few more files <attila_lendvai>civodul, oh, sorry, i missed that line. all i need is srfi-43, vectors. <ixmpp>> ixmpp: Sounds like you're running the wrong guix?

I'm running it through doas when i reconfigure the system, so it's not using the latest one <roptat>I've sorted the files in our POTFILES.in and greped through the files to find \([GN]_, and found missing files and files from POTFILES.in that had no translatable strings <abrenon>I also see that many sentences are split in several independant strings in weblate, it makes it a bit harder to translate <abrenon>is that a new way to do it ? I don't remember I had seen so many of them last time I looked at the translations <roptat>for the manual? that's a bug in po4a indeed <civodul>attila_lendvai: i'm afraid you'll have to do without it <civodul>what part would you need specifically? <attila_lendvai>civodul, simple vector stuff for constant time access and sorting. it's not crucial, though. see the issue for details. it's about picking collisions from the highes versioned package <abrenon>I see. So should they be merged-back together ? can one do that in weblate ? <roptat>no, because then po4a will be lost and won't translate these sentences at all <abrenon>although it's been a while since I haven't had any practice <abrenon>but I still have nighmares with $ and @ sigils chasing me in a very dark forest, from time to time <awb99>I need to do some debugging of UDEV rules. <awb99>Is there any way how I can see a logfile or a config of the herd udev module? <roptat>another I've seen (but forgot to report) is with multiline lists <abrenon>I guess I'd have to grep guix repos for the specific split string I have in weblate, but I suppose I would find this trailing @ <roptat>it will give you the first line to translate, and then the rest in a separate unit <roptat>but it doesn't seem to be always the case, so it might depend on the context <abrenon>well I'll try to look at it but I don't have enough time right now <abrenon>I'm still recovering from two very intense weeks and I'm late on a lot a stuff so I don't think it's exactly the right time to start diving into perl code sorry <abrenon>(plus, I still have a patch to add ~6 ocaml packages I must work on) <roptat>these bugs have been there for years now, they can wait a little bit longer :) <jpoiret>anyone experienced with the cargo build system? i'm building rust-bitflags and it seems that it is searching for Cargo.toml in the root of the build dir, whereas it seems to be unpacked in guix-vendor/rust-bitflags-***.crate <apteryx>nckx: oh, neat!

I've never used it. <jab>I suppose that we need to create a libre linode/digital ocean powered by guix. we could really support guix system vms that way! *janneke tries guix home with ssh... <janneke>how does this work? error: home-ssh-service-type: unbound variable <awb99>I have to run a binary from "trezord" package as a service. <awb99>The package "trezord" does not define a service to run. <janneke>wondering if it's already using guix service types... <janneke>error: (openssh-configuration ... extraneous field initializers (extra-config) <awb99>Does anyone have an example how I add a service to guix ? <civodul>janneke: howdy! i think we're missing the ssh module that was in the other repo <janneke>also, i'm pretty happy with my ~/.config/shepherd/init.scm,init.d/ setup; wondering how that translates to guix home *jonsger found the right patch to build with gcc-10... <civodul>janneke: yeah i haven't translated yet <janneke>guix home reconfigure home-janneke.scm --verbosity=2 <janneke>/gnu/store/3asknnmkgzh6ndx5nnl1bb91fxafi282-home <janneke>guix home: error: mkdir: Permission denied <janneke>the error message seems kinda constant :-/ wondering what directory it tries to make? <awb99>jonsger: can I add directly the shepherd-service ? My daemon does not need any config. Just start the binary that comes from the guix package. <jonsger>I guess you need at least some of this boilerplate code, but I'm not an expert... <jab>awb99 go to notabug.org/jbranso Go to the linode system repo...You can find an example endlessh service. <jab>Currently defining services in guix is a bit painful in my experience. If you do something wrong, it's hard to figure out what you did wrong... <awb99>is it possible to start a service without adding it to the OS section of a system definition? <lilyp>awb99: you can run your own shepherd instances, but Guix won't help you manage them and you have to more or less handwrite your services <awb99>own shepherd instance = a seond USER instance that is unning? <lilyp>there is no user instance running by default in the first place but yeah, you can probably spawn as many shepherds as you have pids and room for sockets :) <sss1>hi all, which is easiest way to use new version of some package, something like aditing just few attributes of existsing guix package <lilyp>if you're not looking for contributing and the package behaves nicely, --with-latest it is <lilyp>assuming "new version" means "updated package", not "different configuration" <lilyp>Otherwise look at the more general transformation options.
