<rain1>guix package: error: build failed: while setting up the build environment: cannot unmount real root filesystem: Operation not permitted <rain1>do I need something special in fstab or something to let the guix builders do their chroot thing? <rain1>for now --disable-chroot is letting me build things <cehteh>normal users can not chroot usually <quiliro>just installed emacs-emms-player-mpv <quiliro>i have installed emms-player-mpv..how do i use it <cehteh>[03:20] <cehteh> try M-x load-library emms <quiliro>which manual? emacs has a section on mpv? <yrk>no, emms doesn't have a section in the manual about mpv because whomever hacked-up that kludge didn't submit a patch for it to be included in emms <yrk>in other words, it isn't a part of emms and won't be supported or documented until (and if) it is <yrk>the moral of this story is: send useful changes upstream <cehteh>at least it tells how to plug in player modules <yrk>yes, we are proud of the emms manual; it aims to be a useful and up to date manual <yrk>I even bum people out by asking that patches submitted include a manual update <quiliro>cehteh: so i should look for emms in the emacs manual? <cehteh>i am on debian here, there i have a emms info page <cehteh>i bet you can google that on the net as well <quiliro>cehteh: i found it inside the emacs info <quiliro>now i have to find how to use it to play videos <quiliro>or am i pointing in the wrong direction? <quiliro>i was used to doing everything on firefox. then i discovered that firefox included some non free stuff. so i went with iceweasel, then i found that guix had emacs in which you could do [almost] everything. so i tryed but could not do some things like check email and browse the web and watch videos and listen to audios and open pdfs and odt files <quiliro>it cost investigation...but i am learning <quiliro>i still cannot browse the web as i did with firefox or even with icecat in GuixSD <quiliro>but i could open my mail files in gnus <quiliro>and i think i will be able to download new mail <quiliro>i think emacs can open libre office files now...but have not tested <quiliro>i am able to install packages from the command line but not from emacs yet <quiliro>i was able to install GuixSD on a Macbook Air A1304 (2009) that uses EFI as the sole operating system without another bootloader such as rEFInd <quiliro>i am not able to use libreboot on it yet <quiliro>but i hope i can learn to in the next 2 years <quiliro>so i will have to be the one to do it or count on luck that someone that knows will do it for me <quiliro>so i am still having dificulties with emacs....but i think i will de a good user sometime <quiliro>and will be able to contribute with guixsd also <quiliro>i think that need is the mother of creativity <quiliro>so i will probably learn a lot to be able to get what i need.....for example to install openmolar1 in guixsd <quiliro>i could probably get free dentist if i could do that for my dentist <quiliro>she wants clinical history for her dental patients <quiliro>but it is not included on guixsd...so i will have to learn how to install it....better yet, package it for guix <quiliro>how can i watch youtube videos in emacs? <rekado>to everyone complaining about hydra being slow: we’re working on it. <rekado>I’m currently on vacation, mostly away from keyboard <rekado>we may soon have more servers in the build farm that will provides us with binary substitutes more quickly <rekado>there’s no point in complaining about this. <rekado>If you want to help you can provide substitutes yourself with “guix publish” to help out others. <rain1>rekado, what is this in response to <rekado>I was just reading the logs from the past two days <rekado>and the topic of hydra came up a couple of times <rekado>I have prepared two servers that should join the build farm; they just wait for IT to reconfigure the routing, which may take them a week. <rekado>once that’s done I’ll prepare a couple more servers <rekado>this should allow us to provide substitutes much faster than now <rekado>I can understand the frustration, though. <fredmanglis>Hello there. I need help with a package definition, that doesn't produce the same output on running 'guix build --rounds=3 python-conda' <sneek>Welcome back civodul, you have 3 messages. <sneek>civodul, wingo says: regarding (lambda () (floor/ 1 2)) (lambda (x) x)) -- i think the 2.0 behavior was a bug <sneek>civodul, wingo says: i believe what we want is for explicit instances of call-with-values to be strict; truncation only happens for call sites that implicitly accept 1 value <sneek>civodul, wingo says: the way to express truncation in 2.2 is (call-with-values thunk (lambda (x . rest) x)); the rest arg will not be allocated <catonano>I'm going to the beach. Good bye, fellow guixers ! <sneek>m-o was here Jun 14 at 07:33 am UTC, saying: hi civodul !. <jlicht>civodul: that link seems interesting :O. Are there any guix-related undertakings similar to that one? <jsierles>if i want to run cuirass, do i have to build it from source? <rekado>ACTION is at the beach, too, but at the baltic sea. Kinda cold. <jsierles>any tips in general on getting it running are welcome <rekado>jsierles: are you using GuixSD? There’s a cuirass service for it. <rekado>and we have a cuirass package in Guix. <jsierles>rekado: nope. running everything in docker <jsierles>haven't yet figured out how to run guixsd in there <rekado>jsierles: then you’ll have to run Guix manually and emulate what the cuirass service does in GuixSD. <jsierles>it would be interesting to get a guixsd docker base image going <rekado>jsierles: you may also want to look at the guix-maintenance repository, which contains the cuirass config for bayfront. <reepca>Hm, it occurs to me that the reason that it's fine for the C++ daemon to unconditionally remount everything as MS_PRIVATE is because it's in a separate mount namespace (so anything that assumes its mounts have a certain propagation type outside of the container is unaffected). But run-container makes that optional. Perhaps it'd be better to just copy what useful parts I can get from call-with-container instead of trying to refactor it. <ng0>the relationship is: trying to get rid of hydra. <efraim>reepca: or copy unconditionally and refactor later <efraim>I'm building out core-updates now on aarch64, its looking really good to me ***jonsger1 is now known as jonsger
<ng0>probably the first reply after my reply will be 'do not post such links here' <ng0>on the topic, blobs are legally complicated. <civodul>jlicht: yep, m-o posted something on the mailing list a week or two ago <ng0>I'm experimenting with them, outside of Guix. Imo there are no risks. If you really have to use linux (or even binary blobs) and not linux-libre you can do it if you find out how to do it. <ng0>well there are not no risks. but it depends on your threat scenario <civodul>in short there's a stack-clash patch and a boot-logo patch currently <civodul>reepca: maybe for a start you can simply use call-with-container as is, and refine later? <Leo`>ng0: Well I'm aware of the threats of blob themselves, that was not really the question, more like will I miss anything that the Guix package maintainers apply to the Linux-libre kernel. <ng0>just the 2 patches. and you'd have to build the kernel locally every time <ng0>as linux-nonfree is like mordor here I can't really write everything. <Leo`>How's the support of broadband modems in Linux-libre anyway? I read a lot about WiFi chips but nothing about them. <ng0>I also don't want to encourage using linux mainline with blobs like iwl, cards can really suck and you have to load the kernel module again because they constantly die if the hardware is crap. <ng0>I flashed coreboot because I got so annoyed. <civodul>i don't know about the specifics of broadband modems though <Leo`>ng0: Ok but what's the alternative, except buying new hardware... <ng0>that's why I started one of my repos. <ng0>well not that simple reason <ng0>but it's one of many <civodul>the policy is that Guix supports free software, and this channel is about Guix :-) <ng0>you have the choice of using a different kernel, or try to find out as much about supported hardware as possible (in -libre) and find hardware accordingly <civodul>ACTION uses an Atheros dongle for WiFi <ng0>offloading via tor does not work. has anyone tried this before, to an .onion without systemwide traffic redirection? <ng0>I'll just see what I can come up with as a solution <jsierles>is it possible to do the equivalent of 'guix pull --url' without having initially setup the deamon? i'd like to get a specific version of guix installed directly from git. <jsierles>perhaps using pre-inst-env with 'guix pull'? <jsierles>the goal is to provide a docker image with a specific guix version already installed. <quiliro>i want to include openmolar1 on guix <quiliro>but first i will try to install it by compiling it to make sure it works on guixsd <quiliro>i was looking for a dental practice software <quiliro>found it....but dont know if there might be a better solution from the perspective of freedom and/or funcionality <civodul>jsierles: i'd suggest "guix pack -f docker --localstatedir guix" <civodul>well, with the caveat that --localstatedir does nothing with "-f docker" currently <jsierles>civodul: i think that was suggested before, but if it doesn't work, then i can't use it :) <jsierles>what will 'guix pack' give me if it can't use the local state dir? <civodul>you'd end up with a Docker image that contains Guix, but where Guix doesn't know what's in its store <civodul>yeah 'guix gc' would wipe everything <civodul>we should just fix that --localstatedir thing <jsierles>but i guess i can just live with 0.13 release for now. and get that working later <jsierles>well, in other news i got our substitute server published <quiliro>i need: python3 runtime, qt5 for python3 and a python3 wrapper around the c-api for <quiliro>communicating with the databas......what packages are needed for this? with command guix package -i <rain1>hello, can I ask help with using guix I compiled which is failing? <quiliro>rain1: never ask if you can ask...just go ahaead and do it...if unsure if it is the right forum, do ask....but this is th right forum for your question....did you not know that? <rain1>as root i run # guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild --disable-chroot <rain1>then im doing $ guix package -i units <rain1>x86_64-guix-linux-gnu-ld: cannot find -lstdc++ <rain1>and it has this error when compiling libiberty <quiliro>it is beyond my knowledge...perhaps someone else might know <rain1>i think that my OS is missing a part of C++ <ng0>rain1: do you document the path you take for th musl build of guix? would be very cool :) <ng0>iirc this was on alpine? <rain1>yes ng0 i built it on alpine and I got notes <quiliro>which package corresponds to python3 runtime? <ng0>or do you mean the python package "runtime"? <ng0>in that case: `guix import pypi runtime` <ng0>in other words, you have to package python-runtime <elreydelaswasas1>trying to install the guixsd operative system i firstable intorduced the command: loadkeys la-latin1 , the i introduced the comand ifconfig -a to see all my networks and i choosed my wired network eno1 with LINKENCAP Ethernet hwaddr 08:2ESF:02:EC:06 and i choosed it using the command ifconfig eno1 up then i entered the command dhclient eno1 then i used the command cfdisk and i created a Linux filesystem in /dev/sda1 with 20G, <ng0>was this message cut off?

<jsierles>quiliro: i can't right now. my cluster runs on docker and coreos. no easy way at the moment to go down that route <jsierles>besides, guixsd doesn't seem very stable from what i read on the ML and here. would rather treat these as separate projects <quiliro>jsierles: how about a virtual machine? <quiliro>guixsd is very stable for a rolling release <jsierles>quiliro: coreos runs on docker. i'm sure it's doable, just not a priority right now <jsierles>i'm only trying to fill my up substitute server with stuff so i don't have to use hydra <jsierles>above we discussed building a boostrapped environment with guixsd for docker. shouldn't be too much work <ng0>ZombieChicken: not really, but I can ask later <jsierles>would be great for communities to try it too <quiliro>the packages that ubuntu or debian need for openmolar1 are satisfied with the following command: <quiliro>sudo apt-get install python3-mysqldb python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qsci python3-pyqt5.qsci <quiliro> python3-pyqt5.qtsvg python3-pyqt5.qtxmlpatterns python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit <quiliro>what packages in guixsd would that mean?

I seem to recall something being mentioned about it at some point <rekado>jsierles: if you’re doing this inside of docker you may need to have a privileged container. <jsierles>rekado: i didn't mean that. i mean the docker daemon/client as an installable guix package for running docker on guixsd <jsierles>this would be a prerequisite for running guixsd in our env <rekado>jsierles: I was replying to your question about “cloning builder process: Operation not permitted” <jsierles>for now, i'm running the daemon and sub server on alpine <rekado>ACTION is always late these days <jsierles>rekado: ah, sorry. yes you're right, i figured it out eventually <jsierles>can the sub server run read-only for /var/guix and /gnu/store? <quiliro>error: could not create '/gnu/store/fhmwxcp40v853j3n5a6x73rq66h1ywcl-python-3.5.3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/openmolar': Read-only file system <quiliro>the program attemps to create a file in the store when installed from source <rekado>quiliro: this will never work. You need to tell the package not to write to the Python package’s lib directory. You need to patch openmolar’s sources. <quiliro>rekado: where in the script is it that it is finding that directory? what should i search for? <rekado>quiliro: you’d have to check the Makefile or similar. <rekado>quiliro: it probably runs “python” with a little Python script to determine the site lib directory. <rekado>I remember that we’re doing this in some packages, but it’s hard to find it <quiliro>rekado: how does python search for the site lib directory? <rekado>quiliro: it does not search for it. <rekado>quiliro: it spits out the value when you ask for it. <rekado>quiliro: but I don’t know how this works. <rekado>quiliro: what build system does this package use? <rekado>you need to pass additional arguments here. <rekado>in the python-build-system we do this by default <quiliro>which arguments and how should i do that? <rekado>see (guix build python-build-system) <rekado>if you have a guix checkout go to guix/build/python-build-system.scm <rekado>(the path always matches the module name) <quiliro>i do not know how to do it in emacs...i will have to have the address to <rekado>do you have a copy of the guix sources? <rekado>if you’re hacking on Guix that would be a good thing to have <rekado>after git clone, there should be a “guix” directory <rekado>inside of that directory you will find “guix/build/” <quiliro>inside guix there is no guix/build only build-aux <rekado>quiliro: if the *only* thing you fetched with git is “build-aux” then something must have gone wrong. <rekado>it’s definitely in guix/build/python-build-system.scm <quiliro>sorry...tab completion works a la zsh, not a la bash <quiliro>so the first option was guix.scm, not guix/ and i thought it did not exist <quiliro>not my time because i learned, but yours because i gave the wrong info <quiliro>rekado: so what do i do with guix/build/python-build-system.scm <rekado>anyway, in that file you should a definition of “install” <rekado>this is what the build system does when it installs Python things <rekado>it prepares “--prefix”, “--root”, and one more argument, and then hands them to “python setup.py install” <rekado>so for your package you just need to do the same. <rekado>to override whatever the default is <rekado>no, you said that it runs “python setup.py install”, right? <quiliro>on the openmolar source directory which i downloaded <rekado>well, in that case the solution is easy! <rekado>do you actually want to package this software for Guix? <quiliro>i dont know if it is good but debian and ubuntu have it <efraim1>i just realized that qtwebkit has rejoined the official qt releases <quiliro>i would have to check if it is libre <rekado>instead of running this command manually, let’s write a package expression that uses the python-build-system <rekado>do you already know what software this depends on? <rekado>is all of this software part of Guix already? <quiliro>mysql, python, gettext, python-disutils-extra, python-pyqt <quiliro>because i ran the install python script and installed those packages which led to continue installation <rekado>what kind of software is this? Do you have an idea what Guix module it would best fit in? <rekado>you can also check the “setup.py” file <quiliro>but of course i already had some software installed...so those packages might be not specified....but i doubt it <rekado>it should list all python modules that you need to build it <quiliro>sudo apt-get install python3-mysqldb python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qsci python3-pyqt5.qsci <quiliro> python3-pyqt5.qtsvg python3-pyqt5.qtxmlpatterns python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit <quiliro>and either mariadb-server or mysql-server <quiliro>aditionally to the former on the client machine <efraim1>the package python-pyqt should satisfy all the python3-pyqt5 packages <quiliro>and i think python-mysqlclient is needed too <efraim1>apt-cache says python3-mysqldb is from mysqlclient on pypi <rekado>quiliro: are you packaging openmolar1 or openmolar2? <quiliro>openmolar2 is not production use according to the website <rekado>first thing is to fetch the source code <rekado>you need to download the signature file, then get the author’s GPG key and make sure that the signature for the tarball is valid <rekado>I just tried to get the author’s key from a key server, but only got an expired key <rekado>so the signature won’t be that useful for our purposes. <rekado>they also published the md5 checksum, which we should compare <rekado>run md5sum on the tarball and make sure it matches the contents of the checksum file <wigust>%load-path must be the same for guix offload to work `user@host$ guile` AND `ssh user@host guile`, doesn't it? `user@host$ guile` has much more PATHS. `ssh user@host guile` has unexisting PATHS. <wigust>Is it because I need to offload to root@host? <quiliro>wigust: i cannot help you ... but would you ming telling me how you did the paste? <rekado>quiliro: you would have to download the GPG key first, e.g. with “gpg --search-keys neil@openmolar.com” <rekado>then “gpg --verify the-signature-file.asc the-tarball.tar.gz” <wigust>quiliro: I copied from terminal and paste on paste.lisp.org manually. Or did I understand wrong? :-) <quiliro>rekado: great...will document all that you are teaching <quiliro>in emacs it is easy to document everything that you do! <rekado>but first the hardest part: where to put the package definition?! <quiliro>rekado: done: 1cfdzfbi6wslw7k0dc6ad6xrgs75iwsl91cg73w4myswaqqkfk3z <rekado>we don’t seem to have a module for medical software yet <rekado>start a new file gnu/packages/medical.scm <rekado>copy the copyright header from another file and change the copyright, so that it only mentions you. <rekado>let’s take a small module as a template. <rekado>copy the “define-module” clause and change the module name to match the new file name: (gnu packages medical) <rekado>we will be using the python-build-system, so change (guix build-system gnu) to (guix build-system python) <rekado>next, create a new package definition.

Let yourself be guided by the error messages. <rekado>I recommend using M-x shell with “guix-build-log-minor-mode” enabled <rekado>it’s pretty and you can use C-c M-p to jump to the beginning of the previous build phase <rekado>C-c M-n to jump to the next phase, etc <rekado>hope someone else can take over from here. <wingo>well, it is bedtime for me. however i think i might have the issue. there are some times in which we use the stack in an O(n) way. this should be fine; guile can make a stack like this, no problem, if your problem is O(n) anyway then it is better on the stack than on the heap. <wingo>we mark the stack precisely. that means that we have a mark function that goes frame by frame to see what values are actually gc values in that frame (and not, e.g. values which have a slot allocated but are actually dead, etc) <wingo>however with libgc, they expect that mark functions do a constant amount of work, not an O(n) amount of work <wingo>i.e. that calling a mark function will push a constant number of objects on the mark stack <wingo>but with an O(n) stack, that's not the case. i think what happens is that when a mark phase starts, it starts with a certain stack size; then if too much marking happens, the mark stack "overflows" then actually libgc will fail the whole thing, expand the mark stack, and try again <wingo>so when we compile files that are longer and longer, our gc times go up quadratically <wingo>because the root "function" of the file is getting longer and longer <wingo>again, linear is fine. quadratic is not fine tho :) <wingo>my next step will be to look in to see if this is the case. if it is i will see about fixing the vm stack mark function to be incremental, to conform to libgc expectations <wingo>sneek: later tell civodul take a look at this backlog around 22h30 <quiliro>how to enable “guix-build-log-minor-mode”? <quiliro>why does ./pre-inst-env guix build openmolar1 say that the file does not exist? <quiliro> guix environment guix ; ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make <jlicht>quiliro: You run it in your local git checkout of guix <jlicht>quiliro: And I always add a --pure flag, e.g.: `guix environment --pure guix' <jlicht>but that might just be me buying a bit of a cargo cult mentality ;-) <quiliro>when i run the command i pasted before, i get a prompt with [env] on it <jlicht>From the guix manual, " To create a “pure” environment, in which the original environment variables have been unset, use the --pure option" <quiliro>jlicht: is that normal after running the command? <jlicht>quiliro: the [env] should come from your prompt variable. Try running `echo $PS1' when you see it, and you should see something like `\\u@\\h \\w [env]\\$' <jlicht>it is purely cosmetic, and shows you that you are currently running a shell within a guix environment <quiliro>quiliro@portkomputilo ~/guix [env]$ ./pre-inst-env guix build openmolar1 <quiliro>bash: ./pre-inst-env: No existe el fichero o el directorio <jlicht>quiliro: Did you try running your commands (with --pure) from the guix git checkout? <jlicht>quiliro: the ./pre-inst-env stuff is meant to be run from *outside* the guix environment. So just your normal terminal, without [env]. <jlicht>at least that is how I have been using it for several months <rain1>is anyone able to help me with c++ compiler problems? I have built guix from source and got the build demon running, the problem comes when i try to use it guix package -i units <rain1>x86_64-guix-linux-gnu-ld: cannot find -lstdc++ <quiliro>so i have to open another terminal to run withou [env]? <rain1>I've really got no ideas how to approach this, I have already made sure I have g++ libstdc++.so nistalled <ng0>ZombieChicken: now I have time, for a while <jlicht>quiliro: after running make in your [env] environment, you can just type `exit' and you should end up with your normal shell (without [env]) <jlicht>and there you should be able to type `./pre-inst-env guix package -s hello' <quiliro>quiliro@portkomputilo ~/guix [env]$ exit <quiliro>./bootstrap: línea 5: exec: autoreconf: no se encontró <jlicht>rain1: are you trying to build guix without using guix :S? <ng0>props to the person who packaged toxic \\o/ their old buildsystem was annoying and I hoped it would simply get better. seems like it did <jlicht>quiliro: you do not need to do the ./bootstrap stuff after running make in your environment <jlicht>quiliro: aaaaaaah! I understand. Did you type all those commands at once? (so on one line, with ; separating them?) <jlicht>quiliro: guix environment creates a new shell, so you either need to feed the rest of your commands via stdin (complicated, not really useful), OR you just first type `guix environment --pure guix', and then when you see the shell with [env], run the rest of the commands <quiliro>quiliro@portkomputilo ~$ guix environment --pure guix <quiliro>quiliro@portkomputilo ~ [env]$ ./bootstrap <quiliro>bash: ./bootstrap: No such file or directory <jlicht>quiliro: you seem to be in ~ ($HOME) right now, it should work better once you are in your git checkout (via cd) <ng0>could you either knock it off or wait for a reply? <quiliro>elreydelaswasas1: nadie va a contestar tu pregunta si la repites <jlicht>`make' might take some time though, depending on how powerful your computer is <jlicht>ng0: nifty. Don't mind me, just going to nab that ;-) <ng0>oh, that's not the newest version.
