<pkill9>dw i'll check the existing python packages <rekado_>pkill9: you don’t. You can override the Python version in the “arguments” field. <rekado_>but only if it’s a python-2 only package. <rekado_>otherwise we have a procedure that generates a python-2 variant. <wigust_>pkill9: Just curios, Doesn't "guix refresh" work for update the local package definitions? <rekado_>davidpgil[m], pkill9: please only add this line to .bash_profile to avoid problems when using sub-shells (like those spawned by guix environment). <rekado_>wigust_, pkill9: “guix refresh -u” does indeed update the sources, but you need to have a writeable copy of them. <rekado_>i.e. you’d use it with a git checkout and “pre-inst-env” <pkill9>hmm looks like it did install correct version afterall <pkill9>i'll open an environmental shell and see if i cna import the pythong package <pkill9>hmm, it decided to see python-attrs after running `guix environment <some packages>` a few times <jaidmin>hi, im having troubles with the icon themes and the shell themes for gnome <jaidmin>the dont show up in the tweak tool, anything that im missing? <jaidmin>do i have to manually put a symlink somewhere? sorry if its obvious but im pretty new to guixsd <jaidmin>so they get picked up by the tool when i manually put them in ~/.themes <pkill9>is there a way to roll back a 'guix refresh -u'? <pkill9>if not then i think i borked my install lol, i'd rather not recompile everything :P <wigust_>pkill9: "refresh -u" changes files not in guix store, so a version-control program or a backup before "refresh" <wigust_>pkill9: similar situation with user configuration files which guix doesn't control by default <pkill9>anyone running proprietary nvidia drivers here? <efraim>hmm, not sure I really want to independantly package each of lumina's desktop utilities <civodul>mb[m]1: should we merge the openssl upgrade in core-updates and build the whole set of packages? <rekado_>I’m still having trouble with a module cycle, unfortunately. <rekado_>adding “r-igraph” from (gnu packages graph) to (gnu packages cran) breaks everything. <rekado_>civodul: when we rebuild almost everything anyway could we also merge the HTTP/2 patch for curl? <CharlieBrown>Guix was ported to the Hurd. How do I run a GuixSD system based on Hurd? I have a 32-bit machine. <civodul>rekado_: for cURL i think it's still time, though it's good to check with mb[m]1 <civodul>rekado_: re cycle, does r-igraph inherit from something? <efraim>looking good on the lumina-1.4.0-p1 patch, I might actually have it ready for a patch submission this version <rekado_>civodul: no, it doesn’t. I’m checking its inputs now. <efraim>right now i'm test building mesa with vulkan on aarch64 on core-updates <civodul>CharlieBrown: GuixSD on GNU/Hurd doesn't exist yet, though rennes published something that's a first step in this direction <civodul>see the guix-devel archive from last week or two weeks ago <efraim>vulkan passes -msse2, so definately intel only <danialbehzadi>Hey. I just installed guixsd 14 on Qemu, but I just got a guile prompt after booting. What should I do next? <civodul>danialbehzadi: could you report the error that appears above the Guile prompt? <civodul>it may be that it failed to boot your root partition, for instance <civodul>so it looks like it could not find a LUKS partition by the UUID you gave <civodul>is it the root partition that's encrypted? <civodul>which config file did you use as a starting point? <civodul>the GNOME/Xfce example expects a LUKS-encrypted root partition <danialbehzadi>Can I do something to fix it witout fomat and encrypt whole disk? <civodul>yes, so you need to either remove that (mapped-devices ...) form, or properly format your root partition as LUKS <wigust_>danialbehzadi: Also (dependencies mapped-devices) probably needs to be removed. <g_bor>I've been thinking for a while how to make an installation which is compatible the the guix philosophy... <g_bor>It seems to me, that an installation file, similar to the current operating-system-configuration should be made. <g_bor>Anyone working in that direction currently? <g_bor>I'm not very familiar with the current installer effort. <mb[m]1>With the recent nurses rebuild, we might as well take Aruns patches and the tar update. <efraim>I'm pretty sure qt5.10 depends on a newer sqlite than we have in master <civodul>mb[m]1: yeah, mark_weaver pushed a new openssl replacement in master <pkill9>hi, how can i get software installed with Guix to use my system's Nvidia proprietary graphics driver? <mb[m]1>Oh, okay. Yeah let's merge and ungraft it. I can do so tonight if no one beats me. <pkill9>otherwise they fail with the same error: `libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast` <mb[m]1>civodul: Are core-updates evaluations working on Hydra now? <wigust_>pkill9: People on #guix don't help with proprietary stuff usually. <pkill9>wigust_: i thought so yea, i thought I'd ask incase soemone had the answer <civodul>rekado_: FOSDEM main track talk rejected <pkill9>civodul: they rejected a talk onguix? <pkill9>i keep seeing people accidentally call guix 'git' <efraim>i'm going to test mesa with llvm for aarch64 on core-updates, see if we can reenable that for swrast graphics <efraim>i keep on forgetting perl when I test debootstrap <civodul>what are you doing with debootstrap? :-) <efraim>It seemed like it might be a helpful package to have <efraim>I'm going to have to keep,on looking at apt-cacher-ng to see what the minimum needed to make it run is <mb[m]1>Ooh, core-updates evaluation pending. At least it didn't fail immediately :) <civodul>mb[m]1: i don't think it failed immediately previously <shiranaihito>efraim btw, do i need to worry about "sector size" (or other similar stuff) when partitioning a disk for GuixSD? <efraim>I normally go with a swapfile over a swap partition unless I'm on btrfs <efraim>Its easier to grow and shrink swapfiles <shiranaihito>"Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab." <-- how do i do that? <shiranaihito>(i ran "parted /dev/sda set 1 bios_grub on" to get that message) <shiranaihito>yay, i got GuixSD running (in a VM) for the first time :) <g_bor>I think I need some clarification. <g_bor>I've seen when we have svn-fetch as a method, then sometimes a filename is specified. <rekado_>that’s to give the store item a nicer name. <g_bor>rekado_:yes, exactly, thanks <jaidmin>anyone got network-manager-openvpn to work? I installed it but I still cant use openvpn in networkmanager gnome <pkill9>is guixSD technically a stateless operating system? <nextos>Hi, im trying to install guixsd on a EFI machine (an old intel nuc), but it fails with grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `/boot/efi'. <nextos>I'm probably doing something silly <nextos>My bootloader declaration is copied from Guix docs <nextos> (bootloader (bootloader-configuration <nextos> (bootloader grub-efi-bootloader) <nextos>I also have an appropriate filesystem declaration for the EFI partition <nextos> (device (uuid "1234-ABCD" 'fat)) <nextos>I also tried mounting the EFI partition under /mnt/boot/efi before running guix system init config.scm /mnt <wigust_>nextos: Try (device (uuid "1234-ABCD" 'fat)) -> (device (uuid "1234-ABCD")) <nextos>wigust_: thanks. With that change, guix system init refuses to even start: config.scm: error: invalid UUID <nextos>however my UUID matches the UUID listed in blkid for <wigust_>nextos: I use "/dev/sda1" for efi partition <nextos>wigust_: it still fails. Do you mind posting the relevant lines from your config.scm AND clarifying where you mount the EFI partition before running guix system init <nextos>Or just anyone else, if anyone has a EFI configuration running (on x86_64), do you mind posting your config.scm and the specific steps you carried out during install (eg format or mount the partition) <nextos>efraim: the url you sent times out from different locations, seems unreachable <efraim>Its hosted on the RPI sitting behind me <nextos>efraim: no worries, thanks again, it works now <efraim>missed a couple of CVEs against rsync <bebarker>just learned about guix and am curious which repo and directory is the entrypoint for the guile package definitions for all guix packages? <roptat>all package definitions are in the guix repo under gnu/packages
