<civodul>same for ~/.config/guix, for the user that's running 'guix pull'? <mark_weaver>has anyone successfully started pulseaudio on the standalone guix system? <tadni__>civodul: It was created, with guix pull. It's not populated with anything though. <civodul>tadni__: then, could you run 'strace -o log guix pull', and search the tail of 'log' for the offending symlink(2) call? <civodul>sorry i don't have a better guess ;-) *tadni__ is currently trying it again, but will if it fails again. *davexunit is figuring out how to get wpa_supplicant working <tadni__>davexunit: I couldn't even call it from bash. <mark_weaver>davexunit: you need to install those two modules I mentioned <davexunit>it's in .guix-profile/sbin, which is not in your $PATH by default <tadni__>civodul: Hm, trying it again ... it seems to have worked. <davexunit>mark_weaver: ohhh yeah. what were those again? I've forgotten. <davexunit>I can look at logs if you remember what day it was <davexunit>tadni__: it's the right place for them, you can always add sbin to your PATH, I might do that. <tadni__>davexunit: I meant re-running worked, for guix pull ... <davexunit>mark_weaver: no, first time. reading up on that. <tadni__>davexunit: No, it's fine -- just confused. Don't think I did anything different. <tadni__>What arguments do you need for "guix system reconfigure"? <davexunit>mine is stored in /etc, so I do `guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm` <mark_weaver>davexunit: in most cases, this is sufficient: network={ \\n ssid="MYNETWORK" \\n key_mgmt=WPA-PSK \\n psk="MYPASSWORD" \\n } <mark_weaver>davexunit: then run wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -B <davexunit>mark_weaver: do those kernel modules require a reconfigure? <davexunit>I did that, but when I lsmod and grep for them I get nothing, but I guess that's okay. *tadni__ looks into how to add things into path. <mark_weaver>davexunit: also, "modprobe nls_iso8859_1" enabled me to mount a USB stick, maybe that will help you too? <mark_weaver>davexunit: hmm, I'm surprised that lsmod doesn't show them after you modprobe them <tadni__>Hm, do I need to do anything special aefter I add to path? I did "export PATH=$PATH:~/.guix-profile/sbin" <davexunit>hmm I keep deauthenticating from the access point <davexunit>deauthenticating by local choice (Reason: 1=UNSPECIFIED) <svetlana>there is no offline help for gnustep things? <svetlana>like `info` for some of emacs things etc <davexunit>1 item, a symlink pointing to /gnu/store/...-kmod-17/bin/modprobe <civodul>svetlana: no idea, but wmaker is just a tiny bit of GNUstep, i think <davexunit>mark_weaver: I did 'find /gnu/store -name ccm.ko -print0 | xargs -0 sudo insmod' to get the modules loaded and showing up with lsmod <davexunit>however, my situation doesn't seem to have improved <mark_weaver>try removing -B from the wpa_supplicant command line, adding -d, and looking through the output <svetlana>yea i would probably make use of offline help for everything :p <davexunit>despite the modules being installed, it seems like they are not being used. <mark_weaver>if it doesn't even try associating with any of them, then you probably made a mistake in your config <davexunit>I was doubting my config, so I ran wpa_passphrase to generate the network block and still no luck. hmm, I hope it's just a config problem. <mark_weaver>with the Xs replaced by the mac address of the wireless station <mark_weaver>do you see your wireless station in the scan output when running wpa_supplicant with -d ? <mark_weaver>you're running: "wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /path/to/wpa_supplicant.conf -d", right? <mark_weaver>can you post your wpa_supplicant.conf (with the psk redacted) ? <davexunit>mark_weaver: I've also tried with key_mgmt=WPA-PSK <davexunit>additionally, I've also tried with the psk hash instead of the quoted plain text password <davexunit>yeah, it's weird. I'm still suspicious of the kernel modules. <davexunit>modprobe doesn't complain about anything that I do. <davexunit>I can enter made up kernel modules and there's no issue <davexunit>instead of the usual FATAL: Module foo not found. <davexunit>giving up for tonight. wpa_supplicant insists that my key is wrong, but I know it is the correct key. *tadni` is trying to remember what I need to do for aclocal, on Fedora 20 for Guix... <svetlana>i can give you all unanswered questions of the last 3 days if you like <svetlana>"setxkbmap -model pc101 -layout us,ru -option grp:lctrl_lshift_toggle" - this is ok. I tried adding it to /etc/keyboard and rebooting, but it does not pick it up there. How do I save such setting? <svetlana>(running windowmaker within another distro and every other channel is dead) <RISCi_ATOM>svetlana: I have not looked into keyboard configurations for guix :\\ <svetlana>RISCi_ATOM, ok. "how do I start the gworkspace desktop thing without starting the file manager" <RISCi_ATOM>svetlana: Wait, did you get windowmaker working on guix ? <svetlana>no, I'm playing with it under another distro *RISCi_ATOM <3 winodwmaker / GNUStep <svetlana>gworkspace appears to open a filemanager too, but I don't always want a filemanager open <svetlana>using ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart with setxkbmap works ***jmd` is now known as jmd
<jmd>I'm getting a build error: <jmd> build-failed /gnu/store/h5zmra6y3qfycmwi4b85mp7h4a6n3qnx-gcj-4.8.3.drv - 1 cycle detected in the references of `/gnu/store/3gq9hcbdng1wp0zpmrxpqijv0djd12h0-gcj-4.8.3-lib <jmd>What does this mean? ***Basstard1 is now known as Basstard`
<mark_weaver>sneek: later tell jmd: my guess is that there's a cycle of references between the "lib" and "out" outputs. <Mathnerd314>how does Guix use Nix? Is it a fork or do you just avoid using nix-instantiate? <sneek>Mathnerd314, you have 2 messages. <sneek>Mathnerd314, civodul says: looks good, but NixOS and Guix actually take care of /etc by themselves; dmd/systemd are just consumers of that <sneek>Mathnerd314, civodul says: specifically /etc is mostly a bunch of symlinks to /gnu/store *Mathnerd314 has no recollection of that conversation
