<dca>hi. guixsd booted from usb install drive in vmware doens't bring up network for me <dca>ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS failed: no such device <ewemoa>i posted a link to an attempt at packaging fluxbox in feb but the paste has expired and i've had no success digging it up locally -- does anyone happen to have a copy? for ref, here's a link to the relevant irc log: https://gnunet.org/bot/log/guix/2015-02-06 <zacts>what's up with the guix homepage? <rekado__>mark_weaver: does the MIPS build target "SCICORTEX" tell you anything? OpenBLAS has three MIPS targets (SCICORTEX, LOONGSON3A and LONGSON3B) and it seems that the OpenBLAS build on MIPS defaults to LONGSON3. <rekado__>This fails on Hydra with an invalid instruction error. <rekado__>I wonder if we could avoid these problems by specifying SCICORTEX as a target. <rekado__>I just don't know if this would make any sense at all with the MIPS build slaves we're using. ***tschwing_ is now known as tschwinge
<screamager>Hi guys, Is it possible to upgrade guixsd 0.8.1 to 0.8.2? <rekado__>screamager: you can upgrade to the very latest version with "guix pull" <taylanub>screamager: I think 'guix pull && guix package -u' should do most of the job. probably 'guix system reconfigure' thereafter; I haven't dug into GuixSD yet. ***kmic is now known as kmicu
*davexunit builds a gecode package <rekado__>I'm confused about packages depending on perl libraries. How should they be configured to find the needed perl libs at runtime? <davexunit>rekado__: you have to propagate the inputs, unfortunately. <rekado__>maybe I could wrap the executable such that it sets the PERL_LIB (?) env var. <davexunit>executable wrappers are also not the most desirable thing. <rekado__>but if I can avoid polluting the profile tree I choose wrapper ugliness. <davexunit>I'd like to find a solution for these types of issues <davexunit>but as civodul says: "it's an upstream issue" <rekado__>I haven't thought much about this, but I had a silly idea of creating (even MOAR) symlinks in the target directory pointing at all runtime dependencies. <davexunit>that still leaves an issue for library packages <davexunit>libraries should also be able to refer to their exact dependencies <rekado__>instead of having more symlinks in the profile (caused by propagating inputs) we'd have more symlinks in the target dir. <iyzsong>when installed, the symlinks in the target dir will into profile too, doesn't it? <rekado__>There appears to be a problem with our PIL package: ImportError: libopenjp2.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory <civodul>rekado__: your talk is on-line, BTW! :-) <parmegv>taylanub: thanks. the link I provided follows that flow, except the make install step <taylanub>the above explains installation of precompiled binaries, no building involved <phant0mas>parmegv: will do, thank you for your interest :-) <alezost>civodul: Hi, I saw you asked about the problems with iyzsong's name: installing 'font-adobe-source-han-sans' package (it's huge!) fixed it for me. <paroneayea>I think if I move to guixsd I might package stumpwm <paroneayea>if I don't use gnome, it might be nice to have access to a tiling lisp-based WM *alezost uses stumpwm on GuixSD (thanks to taylanub, we have sbcl package) <civodul>sneek: later tell alezost thanks for the tip about the font! <civodul>paroneayea: alternately, there's Guile-WM :-) <civodul>but it's a bit "dog-foody" in my experience <davexunit>the dev hasn't made any commits in a very long time :( <paroneayea>civodul: davexunit: yeah I might look into it if there was active work on it <paroneayea>but I think if I jumped into guixsd I'd already be several dogfood layers deep ;) <civodul>exactly, we have no shortage of dogfood ;-) <rekado_>I'm having problems with GuixSD on my T60. <rekado_>I had to remove any mention of dbus from my config because of another error. <rekado_>namely: gnu/services/dbus.scm:42:4: In procedure module-lookup: Unbound variable: canonicalize-reference <alexshendi>civodul: Your fix suggested on guix-devel doesn't work for me. Buid fails with the following error messages: <alexshendi>Apparently the Makefile tries to create stuff in /var and fails... <rekado_>alexshendi: right, you don't want it to actually create any directories outside of its own store path. <rekado_>I think it may be sufficient to edit the recipe such that the paths are corrected in the two configuration files it installs. <rekado_>(that's what I suggested on the mailing list before) <alexshendi>rekado_: That sounds better, that means I have to patch the package though ... <alexshendi>rekado_: Will have a go at it tomorrow. Meanwhile thanks a lot! <civodul>rekado_: this issue comes from what iyzsong just pushed, lemme see <rekado_>You might add another build phase after "configure" in which you substitute* the lines in the two configuration files. <civodul>rekado_: the canonicalize-reference thing means you need to "make clean-go && make" (or use guix outside of git) <rekado_>on this machine I'm not using guix from git at all. Just "guix pull". <civodul>i'm trying to understand how that <origin> got into the profile <rekado_>civodul: nice, I'll do a "guix pull" right away. Thank you! <civodul>it's interesting because whether one hits the debug depends on the profile's contents <civodul>in my case, there was wicd, which depends on gtk+, so the search for gtk+ would stop there and not hit the non-package object <gnusosa>rekado: did you flash coreboot to your T60?:) <rekado_>gnusosa: unfortunately, the display used in this T60 is not supported by libreboot. <gnusosa>oh yeah I do recall you have replace it with another display. <rekado_>gnusosa: well, there are some that are supported, but some others are not. <rekado_>replacing the display isn't always necessary <rekado_>the display of my x200s is supported, but it's a little involved to get libreboot onto the chip. <rekado_>need to ask the local FSFE group, see if anyone there could give me an external programmer over the weekend. <civodul>rekado_: that "we" in this FAQ entry tells a lot about who wrote it ;-) <civodul>(author which did not bother checking the spelling of Guix) <davexunit>does anyone know how to get the power management settings for xfce?
