<nckx>In this particular case it's mentioned in the description but that's coincidental. <nckx>vagrantc: <#t> As always, I expected core-updates to be merged long ago, or I would've held off. I thought it was just around the corner. My mistake. <vagrantc>nckx: no big worry, finally figured out what was going on :) <vagrantc>i think i found a slightly better patch to fix the diffoscope test suite failure with llvm ... but still having issues with the newly added python pyc tests <vagrantc>wish i had a little more idea what exactly rekado_ tested <Olivetree>Just ran `guix shell` in a dir with a manifest.scm and it didn't load the packages nor complain about not being in shell-authorized-directories. What's happening? <PotentialUser-28>Hey, last time I tried Guix, wouldn't install because luks2 not supported. Is that still the case? <nckx>LUKS 2 isn't supported AFAIK. <nckx>That said, supported != working, there's no reason not to try again if you haven't tried it with GRUB 2.06 yet. <excalamus>I'm trying to figure out why icons aren't showing up in the Plover gui. The core dev there says that whatever is in the wheel should be included. I checked and they are, in the guixified location, site-packages/plover/assets. He asked about how it was packaged. Since it's using the python-build-system, that should about python setup.py install. <excalamus>I had wondered if they needed to be run through pyrcc or something, but he didn't respond to that, so I assume not <apteryx>lilyp: I think by the time we get around to pep 517, setuptools might have grown support for it (if it hasn't already) <excalamus>looks like the assets are supposed to be accessed through the Qt resource system and are generated using some separate script <excalamus>Plover expects that the =plover/gui_qt/resources_rc.py= generated by the build_ui phase gets called. Looks like that calls sys.executable, '-m', 'PyQt5.uic.pyuic', <excalamus>that's what he says, but I also see a _build_resources code path that calls PyQt5.pyrcc_main, more like I would have excepted. Same difference, in a way. Looks like Guix needs to run some external script <excalamus>it looks like the build process creates plover/gui_qt/resources_rc.py and runs build_ui <excalamus>interesting, looks like that's output to the log twice. <robin>interesting, hexchat context menus turned into pure tofu after a 'guix upgrade' (and back to normal after a restart). probably a difficult sort of problem to solve in general <excalamus>robin, thanks, I'd heard of it, but not read much into it <robin>(i'll file a bug if i can reproduce it easily; perhaps it's a tractable problem related to profile hooks) <excalamus>so, the plover/gui_qt/resources_rc.py file is created during the build. Not sure if that's supposed to be called automatically. If not, how would I go about calling that during guix building? <excalamus>something like in the configure phase is my guess <excalamus>okay, I see the phase outputs are labeled during build <excalamus>looks like the resources_rc.py is generated in two phases, patch-generated-shebangs and in build. That explains why that appeared twice in the log. I assume the first time is for correcting a shebang, the second time for running through the setup.py? Are the build messages coming from Guix or from Python? <robin>excalamus, what are the relevant build messages? (and you're correct about patch-generated-file-shebangs) <robin>(or the build messages in general if it's easier to paste the log) <apteryx>nckx: did you have a chance to try rtl8812au-aircrack-ng-linux-module? it nows builds fine, but still seem to have issue with the latest kernel (not sure why, but the interface appears as DOWN, and I couldn't find a way to make it UP -- perhaps I'm just being a noob). *apteryx wants to test cufbc but keeps running into error: corrupt input while restoring '/gnu/store/bfs2wy8k4724az8r40vwainmh3axbc99-guile-ssh-0.13.1' from #<input: string 7f4d538a2690> <robin>excalamus, to me they look more likely to be python build output. re: running it during the build, that depends on what it does, if it's even supposed to be run at build-time... <excalamus>I think you're right. It's the resources.py file which needs to exist in the output. It's created but not copied, I guess <excalamus>as I recall, the Qt build system writes resource files, pngs etc., to a python file as hex so that it's all in one spot. Then the resource system loads that <apteryx>uh, the guix substitute process strace says: write(2, "In procedure lstat: No such file or directory: \"/gnu/store/bfs2wy8k4724az8r40vwainmh3axbc99-guile-ssh-0.13.1\"\n", 110) = 110 <excalamus>I got mixed up and thought the resources.py was the file which did the encoding. So, then I should be making sure that resources.py file gets copied. I'm upgrading packages now, so I'll have to try tomorrow morning. Not having done this before, my thought is to try using "arguments" with an after-build and using either copy-file or install-file <robin>seem odd that the upstream install "phase" wouldn't copy it <robin>i'd copy after the install phase, i think, since the output directory is more likely to already exist (before/after install because sometimes e.g. the check phase is between build and install, depending on the build system) <apteryx>oh, seems --keep-failed is potentially dangerous; it causes the daemon to keep the derivation result in its cache *as* the result of the derivation (i.e., it doesn't differientiate later if it's a failed or succeeded one, at least from my testing so far) <apteryx>that's how I got into that corrupted guile-ssh and ensuing 'corrupt input while restoring' message <apteryx>actually, the deadly combo seems to be --check --rounds=N and --keep-failed <vagrantc>ah, rekado updated diffoscope on core-updates-frozen <apteryx>e.g., try: guix build --rounds=2 --check --keep-failed hello then stat the result <apteryx>stat: cannot statx '/gnu/store/a462kby1q51ndvxdv3b6p0rsixxrgx1h-hello-2.10': No such file or directory <apteryx>vagrantc: that's nice! thanks rekado! <vagrantc>hah, those were not that tests that were failing for me :) <apteryx>clarification, only when using the above three options (--check, --rounds and --keep-failed) does it cause an empty store item to get registered <apteryx>oriansj: it's a shame it doesn't mention a build log to look at; perhaps try rebuilding the problematic drv with 'guix build /gnu/store/234k0ms25z6w84f97qjxq36fwmzlkwml-guix-daemon-1.3.0-10.c3c5028.drv' to learn more? <shoshin>hello! i've tried to set up unattened upgrades service, but it appears to not be running. i'm also not getting a log, but i found this in the mcron.log: ERROR: Couldn't read /var/log/unattended-upgrade.log file! <drakonis>does it exist and if so, does the service have access to it? <shoshin>i suppose this implies the task is attempting to run <safinaskar>i. e. is there an easy way to build given c program with all its dependencies fully statically? <safinaskar>is it possible to link given C source with libcurl statically on guix? <shoshin>is there a way to invoke the unattended-upgrade manually? <shoshin>i'm not seeing clearly how the mcron is being invoked <apteryx>shoshin: does 'herd schedule mcron' print the location of the script? <drakonis>safinaskar: well, i haven't had a need to statically link anything <shoshin>apteryx: i'm only seeing rottlog but maybe its not looking far enough out <drakonis>i believe you need to create statically linked definitions of the libraries in order to do so <drakonis>see the pacakge definition i linked for a statically linked package <shoshin>no i'm not seeing a script for unattended upgrades <apteryx>otherwise, a crud hack: 'guix gc -R /run/current-system | grep mcron' <safinaskar>drakonis: "i believe you need to create statically linked definitions of the libraries in order to do so" - oh, so i need to manually patch every library? <safinaskar>drakonis: so, static linking is generally not supported on guix? <drakonis>probably only for the ones you want to make statically linked ones? <safinaskar>i am searching a distro, where i can easily type "gcc -static a.c $(pkg-config ... libcurl)" and get fully static binary linked with curl <safinaskar>debian will not go, because some of dependencies of libcurl on debian does not have static libs (.a files) <drakonis>i'm pretty sure curl isnt built with static linking in mind here? <drakonis>you'd have to statically link libcurl yourself <vats>Hello, I'm trying to install a guix system with LVM on LUKS. I have one unencrypted partition mounted at /boot/efi and / and /home are on logical volumes in an encrypted physical volume. Moreover, /boot/grub is inside the encrypted root. The system fails to boot (grub doesn't load). Does /boot as a whole need to be left unencrypted or is leaving only /boot/efi unencrypted sufficient? <drakonis>but why are you spending so much time looking for a distro instead of just statically linking libcurl yourself? <shoshin>when running guix system, it seems i need to run `guix pull` as root to update, is this correct? <safinaskar>drakonis: it seems you don't understand my question. let me repeat <safinaskar>drakonis: first, libcurl is obviously the library, not binary <safinaskar>drakonis: second, libcurl depends on lots of other libs, i will call them A, B, C etc <safinaskar>drakonis: also i have simple program in C (this is program, not library) <safinaskar>drakonis: the program depends on libcurl (and libcurl depends on A, B, C) <drakonis>what you need is to generate the .a files you need to statically link your code <safinaskar>unfortunately debian package for one of libs (let's say for library A) doesn't provide .a file <drakonis>since guix doesn't default to providing these but does provide the means to do so <safinaskar>so, i am trying to find a distro which provides .a files for all this libs (A, B, C, etc) or some fully automatic way to create them <jab>hello, I'm having a really hard time using gexps. <jab>Is there a video tutorial that shows you how to play with them? <jab>with quasi-quote, I can just create a scheme file and do guile scheme-file.scm <jab>I'm not certain how to actually build a gexp in a scheme file and run it... <rekado>we can’t currently install gnome on core-updates-frozen, because folks won’t build. <rekado>I also saw a message somewhere in my build log that the ld cache couldn’t be built as some mesa libraries couldn’t be linked together. <rekado>I hope that’s not a serious problem. <rekado>never mind: gnome builds on core-updates-frozen. <thorwil>hi! yesterday i did send on update for a patch with `git send-email -1 --smtp-debug --to "48632@debbugs.gnu.org" --reroll-count=2` <thorwil>got no error, but also no acknowledgement <thorwil>well, whatever went wrong yesterday, today i was successfull. <wonko>I'm trying to install a guix system from a foreign distro <wonko>I've got a single btrfs partition and I'm trying to install guix in a subvol <wonko>I used the guix-install script from the foreign distro (also installed in a subvol of said partition) <wonko>and the install fails with: guix system: error: symlink: File exists: "/etc/ssl" <wonko>but the subvol specified for guix's root is empty <wonko>it's like it's trying to use foreign distro's root, but I'm not sure that's what's happening. Where can I go from there? <efraim>can't figure out how to get the tests on python-aiohttp to run on core-updates <rekado>PurpleSym: thanks for the WIP! I’ll take a look at it in a few hours. <wonko>before it fails it says "populating /etc from /gnu/store/<hash>-etc", in there the fstab looks good, with root partition's specified subvol *rekado doesn’t know anything about btrfs :( <civodul>efraim: oh, i got them running, but they fail <civodul>+ "-o" "addopts=''" "--ignore=aiohttp" "tests") <rekado>the three Honeycomb boards arrived! <rekado>now I can finally put them all together — and see if the parts I bought in May actually work… <lilyp>apteryx: I think we do have a setuptools wrapper for pep 517 packaged already or at least waiting in the ML <wonko>oh so my foreign distro's / now has a /run/setuid-programs/, so I guess guix is trying to install in that /, instead of the one in config.scm <civodul>wonko: i think you have to explicitly run "guix system init config.scm /" for this to happen <wonko>civodul: no I'm using guix system reconfigure config.scm <civodul>oh, it's meant to be used on Guix System <civodul>i'm surprised it even works on a foreign distro <civodul>perhaps we should review the behavior of guix system reconfigure' on a foreign distro <wonko>ah, my bad! will try guix system init <cehteh>civodul: what do you think about my idea about abadoning the config.scm once the system is set up either by guix system reconfigure [--current] or guix system reconfigure --edit which both gettting the current config out of the store <lilyp>I think we an make it optional, but in-place editing is not preferable to a plain file <cehteh>eventually leading the path to having configury commands in guix system like guix system install openssh-service <cehteh>and not inplace fetching the current config from the store, let the user edit it as temporary file, reconfigure (which puts the config into the system) <lilyp>Also, doing things via CLI feels kinda wrong – it'd be better to have a GUI or at least an editor plugin (*cough* emacs-guix *cough*), that can build systems from config "as you type" <lilyp>Still, that's not a reconfigure workflow. What you'd usually do is edit the file, get a typo somewhere, edit it again, and so on until you are content <cehteh>cli is the underlying infrastructure, i always want to have that in the first place, ofc would be nice to have gui/emacs for it but i dont want guix like the linux bluetooth stack which is(or at least was) almost impossible to configure by cli <lilyp>spawing a new editor each and every time is bogus <cehteh>in most cases i dont edit but i reconfigure on the current to deploy new kernel/package versions <lilyp>yeah, but this common use-case can be simplified without going the route of editing in /tmp <cehteh>just guix system reconfigure w/o any config can reconfigure on the 'current' config <cehteh>or if prefered with a --current option <lilyp>I'd go with "if config.scm is omitted, the current config will be reused" <cehteh>yes dunno if anyone would like that, would be my preference too <jonsger>I have my config in a git repo and just give that path to `guix system reconfigure` <cehteh>but there is no gurantee that the git repo is in sync with your actual system, you are responsible for that <cehteh>bit nitpicking, because it hardly wont be, but still a users responsibility <civodul>wonko: beware, "guix system init" will turn your distro into Guix System; use at your own risk! <wonko>after running "guix system init config.scm /mnt/guix-root/" successfully, /mnt/guix-root/etc is empty, that can't be normal? <thorwil>the update of ingen requires an update to raul-devel. how to submit this properly? will 2 commits followed by `git send-email -2 ...` do the right thing? <wonko>hmm, grub isn't trying to luks open the mapped-devices before booting, it just complains about not finding the root partition by its uuid (which is in a mapped-device) <lilyp>thorwil: send one email ahead with your MUA, then set "To:" to the bug thread you receive <wonko>I don't remember doing anything special for my other machine, grub just worked by first prompting to decrypt the mapped device, then loading a new grub that boots the system <jpoiret>wonko: did you use an up to date install image/guix install? <wonko>jpoiret: I'm using guix-install.sh on a foreign distro, I ran guix pull this morning <jpoiret>sorry, I got caught up trying to debug why Tramp sudo doesn't work on my emacs (anyone would know why? i'm on emacs-next-pgtk) <jpoiret>if you load up `guix repl` and then type `,use (gnu system) RET (operating-system-bootloader-crypto-devices (load "/etc/config.scm"))`, what do you get? <wonko>jpoiret: $1 = (#<<uuid> type: dce bv: #vu8(7 124 19 145 178 144 73 33 174 144 248 227 206 198 129 19)>) <jpoiret>can you look at the /boot/efi/grub/grub.cfg? <jpoiret>there should be "insmod luks RET cryptomount -u UUID" <wonko>I can't find the grub.cfg. I've got /boot/efi/EFI/Guix/grubx64.efi <jpoiret>no ./grub/ folder anywhere in sight? <wonko>nothing in /boot/efi, /boot is a separate partition that should be ignored by guix <jpoiret>i think the installer installs the grub config in /boot <excalamus>okay, been trying to get icons to show in the Plover gui. Thought it was because the Qt resources_rc.pc wasn't being packaged. But it is. It's right where it should be. Yet, no icons. <wonko>jpoiret: yep, it's in /mnt/guix-root/boot/grub/grub.cfg <jpoiret>my config mounts my EFI at /esp, bind mounts /esp/EFI/Guix/ to /boot and then installs to /esp <jpoiret>your /boot can't reside on the root partition <jpoiret>maybe there's an option somewhere to make it install the grub files directly at /boot/efi/whatever but i don't know if it's Guix or GRUB related <excalamus>so maybe it's a Plover issue rather than a Guix issue? I'm not sure what to check for next. I guess rechecking how Plover tries to access resources? <Guest83>Hey everyone. Just moved from Arch to Guix. <Guest83>It'll certainly be a learning curve but I'll hoping to stick with the OS and put it to good use. ***Guest83 is now known as disseminate_diss
***disseminate_diss is now known as dissent
<jpoiret>side note: now that grub2.06 is packaged, we could add luks2 support to bootloader/grub.scm <dissent>Why are there two prompts for to decrypt the hard drive on boot? <dissent>And also, how does everyone manage to use the linux-libre kernel with more modern computers? <jpoiret>dissent: first is GRUB asking, because the kernel and initramfs are located on the root filesystem (in the store), and then once more because the initramfs needs to decrypt and mount the root filesystem <jpoiret>this is also the case in other distros <excalamus>What do you mean by your second question? I bought a free Wi-Fi card and that's the only adjust I've had to make <mahmooz>In procedure dynamic-link: file: "libutil", message: "file not found" <jpoiret>dissent: you can use linux-libre on more modern computers, just don't expect proprietary Wi-Fi/Nvidia/etc to work <dissent>Okay cool, I've got an older system 76 and the thing only that didn't work was the wifi card.

Otherwise, might that be a guix time-machine thing? That is, look in an older Guix for an older definition. <jpoiret>there's no other packaged version unfortunately <jpoiret>but yes, this is prime time-machine stuff <jpoiret>although i find it weird that a *preview* version replaced the latest stable one <excalamus>cool, thanks for confirming.

Then not much is left for donating <lilyp>tbf it still goes to individual guix contributers <lilyp>plus realistically speaking selling stuff is not a good way of getting donations anyway <lilyp>unless you're buying newspaper for the Solipreis <roptat>most of our money is held by the FSF, so maybe they could sell guix stuff on their shop; we also have guix europe, which is a French nonprofit, I know it's possible to sell stuff, but I'm not sure about the exact details of what you need to do it within the bounds of a nonprofit <abrenon>about emojis, how do you usually type them ? <lilyp>There's C-S-e if you're using IBus <abrenon>that's what I'd like to use but it's not working here <abrenon>do you have ibus working on your guix install ? <lilyp>Perhaps I'm one of the few who does <abrenon>that's great ! how did you manage it ? <lilyp>I tacked my ibus packages onto my gnome installation and use some magic incantation to set up im modules <lilyp>export GUIX_GTK2_IM_MODULE_FILE="/run/current-system/profile/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules-gtk2.cache" <lilyp>export GUIX_GTK3_IM_MODULE_FILE="/run/current-system/profile/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules-gtk3.cache" <Olivetree>mahmooz for spotify you have spotifyd, spotify-tui, spotify-qt and many others based in librespotify. They're just not in the main/master channel, but you can add them maybe? <lilyp>these two lines in ~/.zprofile (yes, I use zsh) <lilyp>and system-wide ibus install <abrenon>(I thought there was a problem with GDM running its own ibus, and my trying to run it upon login) <abrenon>ah, so you don't run it from your user session <lilyp>tbf I don't think I have IBus in GDM <abrenon>has it been removed from gnome-shell recently ? <lilyp>well, it probably uses ibus somehow, but you can't really get to set up gdm's ibus as a user, can you? <abrenon>I removed it entirely from my session since it wasn't working <lilyp>"I removed it because it wasn't working" is very likely just poor judgement <abrenon>no, I don't set it up, but it appears to be running on its own and discussing the issue with someone I thought the two conflicting instances was considered to be a possible reason <lilyp>there's a gnome setup for keyboards <lilyp>that's what controls my ibus <abrenon>""I removed it because it wasn't working" is very likely just poor judgement" : if that's you're reaction I may have failed to convey my actual meaning and you must have misunderstood the situation I'm trying to describe <abrenon>so thanks for the information about the particular variable, I think that's a huge help; but I think it'd also be useful for me to understand on which instance you're relying <abrenon>re-reading the above, I think you haven't touched anything and are relying on the same default instance spawned by GDM <abrenon>you didn't add it anywhere in your desktop / session startup configuration, right ? <lilyp>All I did was ensure that those variables are set, which technically counts as session startup configuration <abrenon>you're right, that's a way to configure startup ! <abrenon>I meant, you do not have a separate process spawned as your user in a file like, say, XFCE's autostart (I don't know anything about gnome, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a similar mechanism to run process upon login) <lilyp>But yeah, I use *gnome-desktop*'s ibus, and install my ibus packages system-wide along with gnome itself <abrenon>thank you so much, that was very helpful ! I have hope again : ) <lilyp>IIRC you can kill gnome's ibus and spawn your own <lilyp>but the gnome bridge still requires the im module <lilyp>and there's sadly no im module PATH, only a file <lilyp>"gnome bridge" meaning "the stuff that gets ibus to work in gtk" <wonko-tmp>ok so I got a step further: by mounting my efi partition on /boot directly, grub installs everything in that partition. now it fails because it can't find the uuid of my luks partition <wonko-tmp>if I insmod luks2 (luks already present) it finds my partition: cryptomount -u <uuid> finally prompts for a password <roptat>wonko-tmp, "can't decrypt" might be because grub always uses qwerty <wonko-tmp>I booted on a live system to check, I can luksOpen that partition with password I entered <wonko-tmp>yeah, I typed the password in the grub prompt to be sure (as in in clear without a password prompt) <jpoiret>we'd also need to move the pre-mount procedure in the initrd to before the resume hook, which I don't like very much as it's not really documented that that parameter should NOT mount file systems <roptat>wonko-tmp, it might be that your grub is missing something important. if you had to insmod, it means your configuration is not correct from the start (or there's a bug somewhere in guix...) <jpoiret>hang on, you mention luks2, is your partition using luks2 headers rather than luksv1? <jpoiret>if so, then luks2 isn't supported yet with guix reconfigure <jpoiret>(but it should be trivial to add, as this is just adding 'insmod luks2') <wonko-tmp>jpoiret: yeah, so that's the difference with my first setup, it was with luks1 headers <qbt>I'm super tempted to switch to gnu guix from my current arch system, however i'm not really sure if it would be possible to get Zoom running smoothly on the system as it is unfortunately really the only non-free software i'm required to use for work at the moment. <ison>Using guix-home how can I customize ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf? It seems to be created by default. If I try to add a service for it there is a "duplicate entry" error message. <qbt>heard flatpak works, but I'm not sure how good it'll work (never used it before) <roptat>qbt, it worked for me in the browser, but I couldn't install the client (not that I'd want to anyway...) <abrenon>same here, works (too) well from ungoogled-chromium : ) <qbt>roptat: yeah.. i resisted for the longest time, but whiteboard+ss functionality made me have to install it since i do tutoring. <qbt>i would love it if they could make a switch to something like jitsi, but i'm not sure how to bring it up <roptat>yeah, it's hard, when it's not seen as "as professional" as the nonfree alternatives... <roptat>although, bbb is probably better in this case, it looks great and works smoothly; jitsi always has some weird issues for some people <podiki[m]>we just updated it and the portals, I use it for things like Zoom just fine (about to use it for a meeting right no actually) <podiki[m]>in the same boat as needing to use Zoom institutionally <qbt>roptat: oh cool, I'll check it out for sure! <qbt>podiki[m]: thank you so much!! <roptat>you need an instance though, I don't think there any public one <roptat>anyway, if you don't speak up, nothing will change, that's for sure <qbt>roptat: yeah that's my worry, sort of difficult to propose it unless its as easy to get started as everyone is expecting these days... however, as the online-teaching seems to continue I have started gathering some articles, alternative software, etc so i can bring it up in a coherent and convincing way soon hopefully <qbt>yeah, honestly I think my departement would be pretty open to change, or at least offer some alternatives, but I really want to go about it in a good way to increase the chances :) <qbt>roptat: added to the list! <roptat>you need an admin to install the server somewhere, and then you just send out invite links to join a meeting <roptat>we used it for the guix days for instance, and again this morning for a "café guix" <qbt>worked together with one of our admins on something different before, so I could possibly discuss it with him as well, so we have a stronger case :) <abrenon>cool ! I'll try and make it this time <abrenon>I'm on one of the mailing lists but possibly another one <robin>lilyp, nice catch on the inputs-"inheriting"-propagated-inputs mistake with yt-dlp. thanks for the review, it's the first package i've upstreamed in a while :) <robin>qbt, i just use the web client when i'm forced to use zoom. although that apparently has limited features compared to the official malwa^Wclients <qbt>robin: ah yes, that's my issue! i need the 'advanced' features sadly :/ <robin>qbt, i'd expect the flatpak client to work well, or at least i can't think of any reasons it wouldn't <qbt>in case I run into trouble, i'll follow up! hope to set everything up sometime this week :) <podiki[m]>alternatives are good! (if in an official education context, do have to be aware of privacy laws for what you can use I think, but Zoom is not the only game in town) <robin>qbt, fyi, you may know this already but #guix isn't a good place to discuss proprietary software, although general flatpak stuff is fine (as well as flathub, i'd expect, since they distribute plenty of free software too). i'll msg you a channel more suitable for anything zoom-specific <dstolfa>zoom, while not being the only game in town, is sadly mandated for many things and it sucks :( <qbt>No idea if that aspect has been brought up even.. we're using Zoom, Discord, Slack, you name it. I would love them to switch, but it's kind of hard now that it's been established, unless everything really does go back to irl teaching there might be some more wiggle-room <qbt>robin: thanks!! apologies also :) <robin>qbt, np, and i doubt anyone will be too offended that you mentioned zoom, it's more that proprietary stuff isn't supported/promoted here <dstolfa>i wouldn't say that anyone is promoting zoom, moreso just sad that it's being mandated :( <robin>roptat, do you run a bbb instance? if so is it hard to install/administer in your experience? hcoop is experimenting with jitsi meet but there were some advocates for bbb <robin>dstolfa, yeah :( i had to start the web client myself just to communicate with local activists <robin>(...a communications committee meeting, so it was partly to start persuading them not to use zoom, among other things...) <wonko-tmp>ok, so grub 2.06 only supports pbkdf2 iteration algorithm: cryptsetup luksConvertkey --pbkdf=pbkdf2 <dev>, along with adding insmod luks2, and grub can decrypt the partition <robin>roptat, also curious about how resource-intensive it is (e.g. if it uses SFU as iirc jitsi meet does) <robin>roptat, disregard if you don't run a bbb instance ofc :) i'm only skimming logs atm <roptat>robin, no I don't run one, I only have experience as a user <roptat>though at some point I'd like to package it and have it run on a guix server <wonko-tmp>the kernel loads, boots & fails with: /run/cryptsetup is unusable (missing), failed to acquire read lock on <dev>, not a valid device, ice-9/boot-9.scm:1669, pre-mount actions failed <robin>i'll probably end up experimenting with it myself at some point, as it has some interesting features jitsi meet lacks <jpoiret>wonko-tmp: weird that it cannot find cryptsetup in the early userspace <wonko-tmp>jpoiret: irc logs say: the Guix luks-header-uuid doesn't look in the right place for LUKS2 <jpoiret>that doesn't seem to be used except in the installer from what i gather <rekado>raghavgururajan: hey, I just wanted to tell you how great it is to have Gnome 40 on core-updates-frozen! <rekado>there seems to be a minor problem with it (can’t adjust brightness through the top right dropdown, nor will it shut down when I click the button), but overall I’m pretty happy with it. <jpoiret>wonko-tmp: oh no you seem to be right <zimoun`>abrenon: gwl-devel needs more love indeed. A lot of really good ideas. But it is hard to compete for all in the same time. <vagrantc>rekado: i saw you updated diffoscope on core-updates, thanks! <rekado>vagrantc: I also sneakily disabled one more test :-/ <rekado>but I think it’s not diffoscope’s fault that it fails <vagrantc>rekado: i think it *might* depend on python 3.9, which is why i was having trouble building on master <vagrantc>or rather, a test depending on python 3.9 ... <jpoiret>wonko-tmp: did you redact <dev> or was it formatted as such? <jpoiret>hmmmm, not a big fan of your set! for the host keyword <abrenon>zimoun`: very understandable : ) hope we have more time to post to it in the coming months though <jpoiret>wonko-tmp: is the redacted device a usual partition just under /dev? <jpoiret>simply seems like the early userspace is asking it to open a non-existing device (which is weird because it first finds it before passing it to cryptsetup) <wonko-tmp>jpoiret: I have no idea what I'm doing (set!), what do you recommend? <podiki[m]>tried to pull the batched-changes branch, failed with builder for `/gnu/store/yms5c5kl7mmhk0m7diqmsq41lhk7vyja-guix-package-cache.drv' failed to produce output path `/gnu/store/bjdidqfvyd4hsx1vfi7inbbkhlx7qczm-guix-package-cache' <podiki[m]>(exception unbound-variable (value #f) (value "Unbound variable: ~S") (value (rust-1.51)) (value #f)) <jpoiret>lisps (and functional languages) generally frown upon things that change the state of the program (ie things ending with an exclamation mark) <podiki[m]>oh that's on my end, from another channel, never mind <jpoiret>simply declare another binding for it <jpoiret>tldr don't set!, just define something else <jpoiret>no but i mean, the <dev> that was in the error message of the early userspace <sailorCat>Hi.

If guix shell "does not talk to guix-daemon", how can it make sure that the environment won’t be garbage collected? <jpoiret> with guix environment (just checked but i'll be sure to use it as well) you can just `guix environment -r gcroot ...` and it will create a file called gcroot in your env that is symlinked to the profile, and is registered as a gcroot <jpoiret>so as long as that symlink is there, it won't be gced, and you just have to rm it to be able to gc it <florhizome[m]>guix home does not accept the expressions generated by itself with “import” :/ <florhizome[m]>Trying to import my existing shells, the generated code is like ...(home-bash-configuration (bashrc (list (local-file “.bashrc”)))...) but I get invalid name “.bashrc” .. <lilyp>jpoiret, vivien: `guix gc' still looks for active processes, so I doubt it'd collect a profile in active use <vivien>Thank you, I didn’t know that, so I guess there’s no reason to worry. <wonko-tmp>I had to chmod a+x /home & /gnu before being able to log as user <wonko-tmp>is that expected or did I do something stupid? <vivien>wonko-tmp, I have /home permissions set to root root, with drwxr-xr-x, same for /gnu <civodul>vivien: like jpoiret wrote, "guix shell" esentially registers a GC root for the profile <jgart>Are go packages built using cgo on guix? <civodul>(and it collects those GC roots periodically) <jpoiret>jgart: cgo is just linking to other libraries <jpoiret>you cannot have go-written dynamic libraries <jpoiret>cgo is used to bind to libraries written in other languages (glibc for example until go 1.16 iirc) <jgart>So guix produces static binaries for go packages by default? <jgart>or it configures something else? <jpoiret>well they might be dynamically linked to the external libs <jpoiret>but all go libraries are statically linked <jgart>I haven't dug through the src yet for it but was hoping someone could point it out before I shave me a guix yak <florhizome[m]>was any of these replies for me? :D you think it’s a permissions thing? <jgart>jpoiret, yes, the article above points out that by default "Go creates static binaries by default" <jpoiret>jgart: good luck, golang is an annoying beast (and is going to get even more annoying to package once they remove GOPATH support) <jpoiret>well, Go can't really create fully dynamic libraries <jpoiret>if you use 200+ go libraries in your go binary, then they'll all be statically linked inside your executable <jgart>interesting to understand what go-build-system does exactly <jpoiret>they really want `go install` to be a fully featured package and dependency manager, to the point where you can't even manage anything without it <jpoiret>in the latest go version, you cannot just say "alright, compile me all those libs but don't link them yet, i want to be able to keep them for later so i don't have to compile them every time" <jgart>so what would happen to go-build-system then? <jgart>how would it accomodate that change? <jpoiret>basically, either 1) we try to diff the build cache (which is not really readable) and keep only what the `go install` added this time in the output and propagate it in other packages that require it (could not work at all, only hypothetical) <jgart>We'll have to get creative and come up with new solutions and extend go-build-system then <jpoiret>2) we write a complete build system using the manual `go tool compile` `go tool link` etc <jpoiret>but option 2) is bound to be hard to maintain <jpoiret>who knows what shenanigans `go build` does <jgart>option 2 sounds interesting and slightly painful but maybe it'll be the way forward <jpoiret>yes, i think so too (very painful though, internal compiler docs aren't clear) <podiki[m]>core-updates-frozen built fine locally (my setup at least), looks like some builds need to be restarted on that branch <rekado>cbaines: thank you, this is very helpful! <rekado>will this board *always* need an SD card?
