<thomassgn>It's probably in the services part, been trying to just build the container without much, but it seems there is something "it" wants me to add all the time <thomassgn>if I remove the avahi and dbus services from the config I get a different error, which is what I tried to solve, about expecting an empty list as 1 arg to (services ...) ***Elronnd is now known as ^_^

<thomassgn>ok, it builds now. Adding %base-services magicly solves it. <buenouanq>if you were only going to use root you could also remove the user <joshuaBPMan>Hello, I'm trying to learn more about how to configure my nginx service...my config file just says (nginx-service). sudo herd status nginx shows that nginx is running...But what is the default location that nginx serves files? viewing localhost in Firefox displays nothing... <buenouanq>joshuaBPMan: try something like (nginx-service #:config-file "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf") <buenouanq>you could probably declare a bunch more in the os config, but that doesn't seem desirable <joshuaBPMan>buenouanq: I might try to figure out how to configure nginx to use scheme code, but for now I'll probably just use a conf file. Thanks. <buenouanq>LAMP? no way, I run a GGGG stack (GNU, Guile Web, Guile-PG, Guile) <joshuaBPMan>buenouanq: Would the guile web server run wordpress? <angelbeats[m]>Hello, I'm now installing guix, running guix system init , but my route to mirror.hydra.gnu.org is rather slow <angelbeats[m]>Can I interupt installing,change to another mirror, and then continue installing? <buenouanq>angelbeats[m]: I believe if it is interupted it will have to start over from the beginning. <buenouanq>depending on how slow it is and fast the next one will be, that might not matter ***Elronnd is now known as ^-^

<ng0>welp. does someone understand "yelp"? I'm not sure why my mate-user-guide package is giving me nothing but a closing "Help" dialogue with empty content <ng0>Gnome help doesn't have this problem, does it? <ng0>I've replace the simple "yelp" in exec of the .desktop with the path to 'yelp' binary.. I can push it in a moment ***Guest48592 is now known as sturm

<ng0>I think I'm overcomlicating my solution for mate-screensaver, I need a second opinion. It fails because of this in configure and configure.ac: DBUS_SESSION_SERVICE_DIR=`pkg-config --variable session_bus_services_dir dbus-1 | sed -e 's,/usr/share,${datarootdir},g'` substituting/sed'ing it would require autotools, and there seems to be no configure switch to disable this.. any other options I could look into <ng0>autotools with some of the mate software is itchy… I want to avoid that. They have their own macros which worked for one software without modifying them, but didn't work for screensaver so far, so I need to adjust them <ng0>(they come in "mate-common") <ng0>I pushed the package to my checkout and the 'system/mate-additions' branch <ng0>solved it… more or less. <ng0>hi. I don't have very much time, didn't forget about the patch, I just had other things to do, and will send it sometime between tonight and tomorrow night <ng0>do you run it with --fallback? <happy_gnu[m]>can/should I pause and try a different mirror or something? <ng0>is this still the initial 0.13.x ? <ng0>there was no berlin.guixsd.org on there <ng0>well you need to authorize berlin.guixsd.org <ng0>so if you haven't authorized it, you can simply drop that part of the url <happy_gnu[m]>if I stop will it start over ? or the things already installed will just be skipped <ng0>no need to stop it, you can just cancel (strg-c) and re-run the command.. assuming you have followed the documentation. <ng0>that'Äs just for the eventual case that you encounter no substitutes for one package <ng0>don't trust me with all of this at the moment, I'm multitasking between kitchen, 2 computers etc <ng0>well this way you won't query a server you can't get any substitutes from <ng0>could reply with more if I had more time to focus on the probnlem <happy_gnu[m]>last time power went off, and when it came back and image didn't boot and I had to start all over again <oriansj>happy_gnu[m]: unless you formatted the drive, the data on the disk should be the same as what it was prior to the loss of power <happy_gnu[m]>oriansj: I don't really know what happened :/ but vm didn't work anymore so I just started again <ng0>the computer I could use for testing Xfburn is occupied with Kodi, but I'm updating a laptop, so hopefully tonight or tomorrow I can test it <oriansj>happy_gnu[m]: so booting from an iso image didn't work? <happy_gnu[m]>well, the guix.img that I created to boot qemu didn't :/ <oriansj>happy_gnu[m]: that is probably because grub wasn't installed or it wasn't configured correctly <janneke>finally found why cuirass doesn't want to build some of my packages <janneke>when a package has (source #f), cuirass only builds the .drv ... <efraim>PSA: we only need to delete gnu/s*/*go for the change with services <efraim>openfoam is missing a period at the end of the description <buenouanq>how do I move my control key? in debian, I added a single line to /etc/default/keyboard <buenouanq>do I have to include this file in my os config? <civodul>janneke: what do you mean by "only builds the .drv"? <janneke>civodul: if i add "hello" and "glibc-utf8-locales" to a cuirass list of packages to be built, and gc -d both packages, the cuirass jobset lists both packages, but after one evaluation i only have hello in the store (and hello*.drv, glibc-utf8-locales*.drv) <joshuaBPMan>Hello, I'm trying to set up nginx to server some php files. But when I try reconfiguring I get this error: <joshuaBPMan>guix system: error: lstat: No such file or directory: "/etc/nginx/cert.pem" <joshuaBPMan>I'm also getting an error that my guix install is 45 days old. But I just ran guix pull && guix package -u && sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm just yesterday.... <buenouanq>does using sudo there work as you're expecting? <buenouanq>is temporarily elevating priveledges the same as running something as root? <buenouanq>you don't need to system reconfigure like that either unless you've changed something <buenouanq>joshuaBPMan: guix pull && guix package -u would only be run for that user <joshuaBPMan>guix pull && guix package -u updates guix for the user "joshua" <buenouanq>you have to run them for every user and I'm guessing to get rid of that message as root <joshuaBPMan>There is also a system profile. Those are the ones that get stored in the boot menu. <joshuaBPMan>If my current system profile doesn't work, then I can use grub to select an older system profile to boot into. <buenouanq>I keep phrasing it as a question hoping someone who actually knows will speak up. <buenouanq>I do not think that using sudo in this case is the same as running it as root. <civodul>janneke: weird, that would need investigation <janneke>civodul: good to know that's unexpected <janneke>i'm starting to get cuirrass going again <janneke>so possibly i have messed something up, trying to create a nice test/bug report now
