<jsierles2>i'm building from the latest core-updates, and wget fails to build. anyone else see this?

<jsierles2>fails on 84 tests

<castilma>hey guys, after trying out guixsd in qemu I want to dual boot into it. since it is not as stable as ubuntu, I want ubuntu to handle grub. but since guixsd creates a new entry for every system generation, the only solution I see is chainloading, i.e. putting (bootloader (grub-configuration (device "(hd0,gpt5)"))) in config.scm. now the question: I have a bios system and my hdd is gpt partitioned, i.e. there is a 1MiB partition for grub.

<jonsger>castilma:

<castilma>jonsger: I see an empty message.

<jonsger>castilma: oh sorry, it was unintended. thunderbird irc...

<elreydelaswasas1>how can i fix the error grub install: error /gnu/store/bdzxdpw2Sk8v6lz54clz4zbilx47srj-grub-2.02/libgrub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh doesn´t exist. Release specify --target or .--directory. guixsystem: error: failed to install GRUB on device '/dev/sda'

<elreydelaswasas1>how can i fix guix system error: build failed: getting info about the Nix Store mount point: No such file or directory

<jsierles2>has anyone looked into using a different database for guix? postgresql or something instead of sqlite.

<alezost>jsierles2: I think noone looked at it

<sneek>Welcome back alezost, you have 1 message.

<sneek>alezost, civodul says: do you think guix-search-by-regexp could sort by relevance like 'guix package --search' does?

<efraim>I don't even know if there's a guile module for postgres, I think we've basically inherited sqlite from Nix

<jsierles2> http://www.nongnu.org/guile-pg/

<buenouanq>oh man, if someone would package guile-pg for me, I'd forever be thankful

<nee``````>buenouanq: I have a ugly/wip, but working package for guile-pg: https://hidamari.blue/git/packages/html/guile-pg.scm.html The metadata is wrong and it doesn't build for guile2.2

<ng0>wow, building julia takes a very long time

<ng0>I wanted to change my build machine anyway

<ng0>24+ hours already on this not so old computer

<efraim1>sneek: later tell civodul are the gccgo packages created by custom-gcc stripped at the end?

<sneek>Got it.

<efraim1>sneek: botsnack

<sneek>:)

<jsierles2>ng0: yeah, just it won't build on master due an issue with wget tests

<jsierles2>how does 'guix archive' work with regards to the sqlite database?

<boskovits>hello

<catonano>boskovits: hello

<catonano>jsierles2: jsierles nee`````` buenouanq i was wondering how does guile-pg compare to guile-squee

<catonano>maybe the place for this discussion is #guile

<boskovits>I would like to discuss the approach to bootstrap maven.

<boskovits>I see a lot of dependecies is already packaged.

<boskovits>I am willing to help packaging the rest.

<catonano>boskovits: the work on Maven is being done by rekado. But at the moment e is on vacation

<catonano>he is on vacation

<boskovits>Ok, thanks.

<boskovits>Do you know when he will be back?

<catonano>no, but he is here on thsi channel sometimes

<boskovits>Ok.

<boskovits>I guess then I will go on to package dependencies.

<quigonjinn>any idea about which of our packages provide epstool, fig2dev and pstoedit?

<boskovits>Main thing is, that I don't know, how should we represent maven artifact information.

<jsierles2>if i have a failing build from upstream, can I override it in my GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH?

<jsierles2>for example, wget tests fail now and I just want to disable its tests so it builds.

<boskovits>jsierles2: last time I tried that it worked for me.

<jsierles2>boskovits: did you inherit it or just write a new definition?

<boskovits>It was when a linux-libre tarball was missing.

<boskovits>I wrote a new definition, I don't know if inheriting works, but I think it should.

<boskovits>If you find out if inhetiting works please let me know. Thanks.

<jsierles2>will do

<ng0>as long as you give the new package no unique name but the same name as the one you want to override

<jsierles2>R users - do you have problems using install.packages() after having installed R with guix?

<jsierles2>i'm seeing "Error in gzfile(file, mode)". which suggests R cannot write to wherever it wants to put these libraries

<catonano>jsierles the whole point of Guix is to take the packages management from language specific pacage managers

<catonano>jsierles2: if you want to install some R package, you should do so with Guix

<jsierles2>catonano: yes i realize that

<jsierles2>you can have both too. my goals are different than yours

<catonano>oh

<jsierles2>anyway, looks like R can't write to /tmp

<catonano>ok

<jsierles2>any way to use more than one store path?

<jsierles2>similar to GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, i'd like to store some builds in a private path.

<jsierles2>how can I make 'gfortran' available to a package's tests?

<efraim>I would add gfortran to the native-inputs

<jsierles2>thanks. didnt see that field documented

<jsierles2>hmm still fails

<jsierles2>needs to be in the path.

<jsierles2>./gnu/store/kpxi8h3669afr9r1bgvaf9ij3y4wdyyn-bash-minimal-4.4.12/bin/bash: gfortran: command not found

<jsierles2>gcc however is in the path

<jsierles2>maybe because r-build-system doesn't include gfortran

<dannym>jsierles2: very improbable. If it's in native-inputs the stuff will be in path. Try "guix environment yourpackage --pure", then run gfortran in there...

<dannym>(for testing)

<jsierles2>yup, sorry my mistake

<jsierles2>i had two packages that needed it, and didn't notice

<jsierles2>nice, got r-diversitree built

<bavier`>hello Guix

<boskovits>hello

<boskovits>I know this must be something trivial, but I just can't find my way around.

<boskovits>I am trying to match a literal { in a regexp in substitute*

<mekeor>boskovits: what's the code? what's the error message?

<mekeor>also, this might also be a question for #guile or #scheme

<boskovits>ok, i have another idea.

<boskovits>Yes, I suppose it belongs to there.

<boskovits>(substitute* "build.xml" (("dir=\\"${test.home}/java\\"") "dir=\\"${test.home}\\"")))

<boskovits>this is the first version

<boskovits>In unknown file: ?: 0 [make-regexp "dir=\\"${test.home}/java\\"" 1] ERROR: In procedure make-regexp: ERROR: In procedure make-regexp: Invalid preceding regular expression

<boskovits>this is the error for it

<boskovits>I guess it is because { needs to be quoted.

<bavier`>boskovits: yes, I think it needs to be "$\\\\{test"

<bavier`>otherwise it is expecting a repetition count

<boskovits>ok, that is also what I guessed.

<boskovits>And I see, that simply \\{ does not work, I get invalid character in escape sequence.

<boskovits>So ok, I will try with \\\\{

<boskovits>thanks

<bavier`>np

<elreydelaswasas1>which is the script we have to write in the config.scm template when we are installing guixsd living in Colombia ?

<elreydelaswasas1>which is the line content we have to write in the timezone line in the config.scm template when we are installing guixsd living in Colombia ?

<ng0>elreydelaswasas1: I would suggest to send an email to help-guix@gnu.org as mentioned on https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/help/ , it seems your questions could be answered there better than in IRC.

<mekeor>elreydelaswasas1: the manual states: "You can run the tzselect command to find out which timezone string corresponds to your region."

<ng0>for timezone, I guess "America/Bogota"

<ng0>or "CO", whatever works

<ng0>oh yeah.. tzselect

<mekeor>elreydelaswasas1: see https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#operating_002dsystem-Reference

<quiliro>hello

<sneek>Welcome back quiliro, you have 1 message.

<sneek>quiliro, rekado_ says: When “make” fails just try again. Could be that you ran out of memory.

<quiliro>rekado: it did fail several times, i then stopped some services such as tor and xorg-server

<quiliro>rekado: and then make was successful

<quiliro>i turned the computer off after that

<quiliro>do i have to run those commsnds again to get back into the environment?

<quiliro>i will go into that environment and then run './pre-inst-env guix build openmolar1'

<quiliro>ran:

<quiliro>'guix environment guix ; ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make"

<quiliro>not exactly

<quiliro>it was:

<quiliro>'guix environment guix ; cd guix ; ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make'

<quiliro>now i get an error after './pre-inst-env guix build openmolar1'

<quiliro>ImportError: No module named 'PyQt5'

<quiliro>hw can i resolve that?

<quiliro>hello rekado

<quiliro>followed your instructions

<quiliro>and after hanging the computer sever times, i could get over make

<quiliro>but i get an error after:

<quiliro>'./pre-inst-env guix build openmolar1'

<quiliro>it is : ImportError: No module named 'PyQt5'

<quiliro>my medical.scm is http://paste.lisp.org/+7I4R

<quiliro>my complete error is:

<quiliro> http://paste.lisp.org/+7I4S

<quiliro>the commands i ran before were: 'guix environment guix ; cd guix ; ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make'

<efraim>You should try adding #:use-module (gnu packages qt) near the other use-modules and python-pyqt5 to the inputs

<quiliro>efraim thank you....you mean:

<quiliro>#:use-module (gnu packages qt)

<quiliro>#:use-module (gnu packages pytho-pyqt5)

<efraim>Just the first

<quiliro> [11:46]

<quiliro><quiliro> efraim thank you....you mean: [11:47]

<quiliro><quiliro> #:use-module (gnu packages qt) [11:49]

<quiliro><quiliro> #:use-module (gnu packages pytho-pyqt5)

<quiliro>sorry

<quiliro>and the second? python-pyqt5?

<quiliro>where should i put that?

<efraim>After the (build-system ... line add (inputs `(("python-pyqt5" ,python-pyqt5)))

<quiliro>efraim: efraim1: is this correct?: http://paste.lisp.org/display/350091#1

<efraim>quiliro: that looks good

<quiliro>efraim: do i now have to run everything again or just the last command (pre-...)

<quiliro>?

<efraim>Just the ./pre... build command

<quiliro>now i get another error

<quiliro>ERROR: In procedure %resolve-variable:

<quiliro>ERROR: Unbound variable: python-pyqt5

<quiliro>efraim: http://paste.lisp.org/+7I4T

<efraim>So it sounds like python-pyqt5 is either wrong or not in gnu/packages/qt

<efraim>./pre-inst-env guix package -A pyqt should help us see whats wrong

<efraim>Looks like I was mistaken, the name of the package is just python-pyqt, so remove the 5 off the end of the names

<quiliro>efraim: ok

<quiliro>by the way, the new error was http://paste.lisp.org/+7I4T/1

<quiliro>i will test now and report

<quiliro>new medical.scm http://paste.lisp.org/display/350091#2

<quiliro>will test

<quiliro>./pre-inst-env guix build openmolar1

<quiliro>is working now

<quiliro>i got disconnected....did the paste reach the room?

<efraim>I think that's an impressive list of errors, only one of which made it choke

<quiliro>oh...will check the log

<efraim>Yeah, I saw the #2 paste

<efraim>And the 'invalid version' one

<quiliro>which one made it choke?

<quiliro>ok

<quiliro>how about that?

<quiliro>or missing gettext?

<efraim>the single version one

<quiliro>what to do?

<reggggieee>hi all, i'm getting an error "guix package: error: profile contains conflicting entries for emacs-dash:out" when trying to upgrade/install/remove packages.

<reggggieee>it also says 'propagated from emacs-guix@0.3.1' which i have already removed, so I'm not sure what more I can do

<quiliro>rekado: what documentation do i have to read in order to fix this?

<quiliro>efraim: what doc would you suggest?

<pmikkelsen>hi guix

<quiliro>hi pmikkelsen

<quiliro>how can i update the git ?

<quiliro>i used git to download guix

<quiliro>maybe the prolem i have is an outdated guix

<quiliro>it is about 4 days old

<quiliro>it is 2 days old

<quiliro>i think

<bavier`>quiliro: you built guix from a git clone?

<quiliro>bavier`: yes

<bavier`>quiliro: then just `git pull && make`

<quiliro>bavier`: thank you

<quiliro>bavier`: meke: external command not found

<bavier`>quiliro: "make"

<quiliro>oh no

<quiliro>sorry for the flood

<quiliro>i made a mistake on paste

<rain1>that's fine, just be careful

<quiliro>davexunit: it was accidental...

<bavier`>yeah, looked like a paste error

<davexunit>I still would have kicked if I was an op to stop it

<quiliro>bavier`: i dont know...i dont handle emacs well enough yet

<davexunit>I thought freenode had flood detection

<quiliro>davexunit: i think it is not necessary...the best is to cut any paste that is long automatically

<quiliro>davexunit: exactly

<quiliro>i dont think it was good to do it...but i dont think it was so terrible either

<quiliro>no dead people

<quiliro>or agressions yet because of my pste

<davexunit>yeah I know it was an accident

<quiliro>i have flooded channels before...but eventually i have learne not to do it....thanks to nice people guiding me...not because of impositions

<davexunit>the purpose of a kick in this situation isn't for punishment, but to stop the flood. you'd be able to just rejoin the channel.

<quiliro>is it really necessary to kick in order to avoid flooding...cant it be cut automatically?

<davexunit>I thought freenode had a flood detection thing but maybe not.

<rain1>the paste stopped ages ago

<rain1>everyone can calm down now

<davexunit>everyone is calm?

<quiliro>is 70 KiB/s normal for ./pre-inst-env guix build openmolar1?

<quiliro>it is downloading a lot of packages again....is that because of --pure _

<quiliro>?

<quiliro>guix environment --pure guix

<rekado>quiliro: you may want to add “--no-grafts” to the “guix build” command.

<rekado>quiliro: instead of replacing the install phase you can do this: (arguments `(#:use-setuptools? #f))

<rekado>that gets me to an error in the install phase

<rekado>namely: “error: could not create '/usr': Permission denied”

<rekado>to fix this error I do this:

<quiliro>it is taking very long

<rekado>* unpack the sources: tar xf $(guix build -S openmolar1)

<quiliro>i did not get your error before

<rekado>* grep for “/usr”

<rekado>where are you stuck right now?

<quiliro>i used guix environment --pure guix

<rekado>you won’t need that unless you want to compile Guix

<quiliro>then ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make

<rekado>you only need bootstrap and configure once

<quiliro>then ./pre-inst-env guix build openmolar1

<rekado>ok

<quiliro>and i am on the last one now

<rekado>the last step is the only one you need

<quiliro>it is taking a lot of time....about 1 hour

<rekado>the last step is taking one hour?

<quiliro>let me see

<rekado>it really should not

<rekado>but I can imagine that the bootstrap, configure, and make steps take a long time

<quiliro>not at all

<rekado>you should not run bootstrap && configure unless you have a good reason

<quiliro>i also did git pull && make

<quiliro>but make failes

<rekado>oh.

<quiliro>that was before guix environment --pure guix

<rekado>it should fail outside of the environment, because you probably don’t have the things installed in your profile that it needs.

<quiliro>oh

<quiliro>i cd guix

<quiliro>it was not inside [

<quiliro>env]

<quiliro>if that is what you mean

<quiliro>the prompt did not show it

<rekado>you don’t need the environment for building your package

<rekado>you only need it to build Guix (e.g. after pulling changes from git)

<quiliro>i was wondering why no one answered

<quiliro>process finished with error

<quiliro>i will start again without --pure

<quiliro>rekado: do you agree?

<quiliro>guix environment guix

<quiliro> ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make

<quiliro>then ./pre-inst-env guix build openmolar1

<rekado>why do you bootstrap again?

<rekado>that’s not something you should do more than once

<rekado>I wrote this above

<rekado>ACTION already built openmolar

<quiliro>is is though with all bot the last command ./pre-...

<rekado>(but it has a runtime error)

<quiliro>ok

<quiliro>so what can i do?

<rekado>sorry, I’m out of time for today :(

<quiliro>rekado: ok...thank you....please tell me what i should investigate, read, explore

<quiliro>i want to learn in oreder

<quiliro>order to contribute time instead of consume it

<rekado>okay, just do “./pre-inst-env guix build openmolar1”, do not bother with “bootstrap” or “configure” again. It just consumes time.

<rekado>here’s my current version: http://paste.lisp.org/display/350100

<rekado>it builds, but it crashed when running openmolar

<rekado>ImportError: No module named 'MySQLdb'

<rekado>so you need to add the mysql binding for Python to the inputs

<rekado>…and then work from there until the next error

<rekado>ACTION waves everyone goodbye

<quiliro>rekado: thanks

<quiliro>anyone want to help me "add the mysql binding for Python to the inputs"?

<janneke>lat0r rekado!

<quiliro>computer hung

<quiliro>had to hard reboot

<quiliro>now i did 'cd guix' then 'guix environment guix' then './pre-inst-env guix build openmolar'

<quiliro>and last commsnd is running now

<quiliro>ping

<quiliro>am i connected?

<ng0>no :)

<quiliro>haha

<quiliro>thank you ng0

<quiliro>will someone help me with this one?

<quiliro>how can i download all guix irc logs?

<quiliro>i know they are in several web pages

<quiliro>but one per day...i want all...at least from a certain date

<quiliro>so i can read them at home offline

<ng0>that's not possible

<ng0>technically

<ng0>we hope that soon (not too soon) the logs will be in a better presentation. at the gnunet side we had some brainstorming about a new website, and the logs are part of that. they will be exported from the current format so that they can be used with a bot and log viewer which afaik should be searchable

<ng0>the source for all these websites is really just the messy database of the standard drupal irc bot.

<ng0>which uses sql.

<ng0>it's not messy, but I find it ridiculous to have all channels in one table.. that's like writing everything to one textfile.

<quiliro>hello again

<quiliro>please help me with what rekado recommended

<ng0>I'm writing a text right now. But I think you just need to search for python-mysql or smething and add it to the (inputs) list of the package you are creating

<catonano>quiliro: I think it's called python-mysqlclient

<quiliro>add this: `(("python-mysqlclient" ,python-mysqlclient))

<quiliro>between: (inputs

<quiliro>and : `(("python-pyqt" ,python-pyqt)))

<quiliro>is that correct?

<catonano>quiliro: right now it is like this:

<catonano> (inputs

<catonano> `(("python-pyqt" ,python-pyqt)))

<catonano>and it shold become like this:

<catonano> (inputs

<catonano> `(("python-pyqt" ,python-pyqt)

<catonano> ("python-mysqlclient" ,python-mysqlclient))
