<civodul>mark_weaver: i'll create a libusb-update jobset, how does that sound? <sneek>civodul, you have 1 message. <sneek>civodul, phant0mas says: I changed the glibc/hurd packaged definition in using the tarball, waiting for the rebuild to finish, and i will send this week's report to the ml. I almost have the bootstrap-tarballs ready <rekado>I still have this problem on GuixSD after "guix pull": "guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm" fails with the error "In procedure module-lookup: Unbound variable: canonicalize-reference" <rekado>How can I get more verbose output? Or a backtrace? <amirouche>I just tried to install guix on a i686 machine using 0.8.2 install image but it fails while building “archive” binary, make check fails <amirouche>well, I tried to install with 0.8.1 too but dhcpd fails to start <amirouche>I will install it with that, in the mean time.. <rekado>amirouche: have you disabled binary substitutes? <rekado>when binary substitutes are enabled you do not need to build packages locally, which is faster and gets you around any possibly failing tests. <rekado>I did not notice any problems with that package, however. <amirouche>well I try again I check the output to understand why I tried to build that package <rekado>maybe you didn't enable substitutes then (I'm not sure which is the default for new installations) ***kmic is now known as kmicu

<amirouche>it tells me failed to look up host 'hydra.gnu.org' (Name or service not known) <vmlinuz88>I'm running GuixSD 0.8.2, and when I try to mv, cp, or edit certain files I get the error "Read-only filesystem". Is this suppose to happen? <amirouche>they are read-only to avoid inconsistency with configuration files, if you want to change those files, change the configuration <vmlinuz88>amirouche what do you mean by "commit" the change? <amirouche>if the configuration file is /etc/configuration.scm <amirouche>if it's a package recipe you must 'guix package -i the-package' again (I think) <amirouche>vmlinuz88: I don't know, probably configuration.scm the one used to install GSD <vmlinuz88>I would just like to have read and write access to the file system <amirouche>I don't know how to do that with configuration <amirouche>maybe you can "su" as the owner and edit the files <vmlinuz88>well, I'm trying to install a python package with pip, and it won't install because /gnu/store/* is read only. <amirouche>well, I'm not an expert on the subject on guix. Here is pointers: <amirouche>1) I think there is an "import script" to convert python package to guix <amirouche>vmlinuz88: there is several python recipes already, copy/paste one and create your own <amirouche>If i remember correctly it can be as easy as replacing the pypi name <rekado>later tell vmlinuz88 Do not let anything install anything into /gnu/store/ other than Guix. To install Python packages that are not yet packaged for Guix I recommend creating a package recipe and submitting it to the ML. Python stuff is usually easily packaged. <rekado>sneek: later tell vmlinuz88 Do not let anything install anything into /gnu/store/ other than Guix. To install Python packages that are not yet packaged for Guix I recommend creating a package recipe and submitting it to the ML. Python stuff is usually easily packaged. <amirouche>after adding hydra.gnu.org to /etc/hosts the installation went smootly :) <rekado>amirouche: odd. Is domain name resolution not working for you in general? <amirouche>now that the system is installed it works correctly <amirouche>can you suggest a big package to install? one that has a lot of dependecy ? <amirouche>even dns resolution with ping is instant now, before with the install image it was taking a few extra ms <rekado>amirouche: the xfce meta package has lots of inputs. <rekado>ardour also has many dependencies (but most of them are rather small) <amirouche>it works but ardour fails so far to detect my audio. Good enough for me. <rekado>you need to start jackd first, then ardour can connect. <rekado>currently there is no jackd service, so you have to start it manually ***Gonbe is now known as _`_
<amirouche>jack ask me to set up "/etc/security/limits.conf" with "@audio - rtprio 99" <amirouche>it's ok I'm not a electronic music artist anyway, non realtime will do <rekado>"I installed both jack and jack2" <-- don't install jack2 unless you actually need it. jack-1 alone will do. <rekado>re limit: I don't know how this works. I use jackd in non-realtime mode. <taylanub>I wonder why 'guix pull' doesn't use the version I just pulled with another user, when there's been no commits to master in-between <taylanub>sometimes it does, actually. maybe it's related to some time-stamp... <a_e>Sorry for forgetting: <a_e>I do remember correctly that libraries after Required.private need to be propagated, right? <hwpplayer1>I'm learning C language and i'm not ready for a big project <hwpplayer1>but our project which is the emacs of distros is exciting <a_e>No need to learn C, as it is written in Guile Scheme. <zacts>hwpplayer1: yeah there are many, but the most recommended books for learning about scheme are SICP and HTDP <zacts>which are both free online books <zacts>note SICP requires a basic understanding of math proofs and calculus <zacts>while HTDP requires mainly just an understanding of highschool algebra <zacts>although, eventually you'll want to read SICP <zacts>many here would argue that every serious programmer will want to have eventually read SICP <zacts>(programmer of any language) <zacts>hwpplayer1: I can personally help you get up to par for the math needed for SICP if you want <zacts>(as long as you can do quadratic equations) <zacts>I can point out resources to help you get up to par for SICP and other more advanced comp sci / programming texts <zacts>hwpplayer1: feel free to /msg me so we don't spam the channel <ngz>Hello. I just installed Guix on top of Archlinux. Each time I call the guix command, I get "warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument". It's only a warning but a bit annoying nonetheless. <ngz>Any idea on how to get rid of it?
