<nee`>sneek: later tell ng0 I fixed or worked around most of the problems I had with GNUSocial and got some patches merged upstream. I have do some more testing and then I'll send an update during the next week. <atw>is it possible to launch a graphical session as an unprivileged user? <nee`>str1ngs: nope, why do you ask? <efraim>guix build: error: build failed: a `armhf-linux' is required to build `/gnu/store/jzp3gjr3ln0j8cixpvpg7p0km3hyflic-Linux-PAM-1.3.0.tar.bz2.drv', but I am a `aarch64-linux' <efraim>ludo made some changes for cross building before <soundtoxin>str1ngs: I haven't got around to trying your deluge package yet. I am not sure how to use it. <soundtoxin>Also, can someone tell me how I get an ssh server running? I've installed openssh and can do an outgoing ssh connection, but not sure of the process for getting the server working. If I try the thing from the install for getting one up, it doesn't work. <str1ngs> soundtoxin just clone the repo and add it to GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH <str1ngs>soundtoxin: add a openssh-service-type to services ***Piece_Maker is now known as Acou_Bass

I thought I ought to be able to set that in the operating system de <jrandall_>Oh, my earlier message got truncated - the end was: I thought I ought to be able to set that in the operating system declaration that I passed to `guix system` but file-system settings there seemed to be overridden by the definition of `system-qemu-image` in `vm.scm` - is that correct, or is there some other way I am supposed to override that setting? <brendyn>Does anyone know if any of the latest nvidia cards like 1080ti work with nouveau at all? <efraim>guile-emacs takes a long time to compile <str1ngs>g_bor: seems maybe the tarball is partially downloaded or corrupt <str1ngs>I would think that it would be checked summed first though <g_bor>It is on core-updates, commit 8781c3d9fc05528089a4379a5199277ee8062974 <g_bor>I think that there should be a hash mismatch if it would be a download failure. <str1ngs>that's what I meant by checked summed <g_bor>Ok, I see.

There are no packages to upgrade and the problem persists even after restarting emacs. <str1ngs>gnewb: ah I installed emacs-guix with melpa. not sure if that's the difference <str1ngs>should not, since the versions match <atw>Is icecat's "invalid or unsupported form of compression" a known issue? do I need another package? <gnewb>atw: Do you get something like `Content Encoding Error?'. <gnewb>atw: For me, (temporarily) disabling the LibreJS Add-On fixed the error. <atw>gnewb: thanks, that works. I think this should be fixed, though, as the site I was failing to load was gnu.org <efraim>mb[m]1: I assume reverting the glibc CVE patch causes a full world rebuild? <mb[m]1>efraim: No, it was only on some of the "leaf" glibc packages.

I guess we can give them a different libdstc++ until the next core-updates cycle. <efraim>I can try to overwrite the gcc4.9 used for libstdc++-boot0 to one that's like 4.9 is now <mb[m]1>Aha, I see now.

<mlin>amz3: I'm back! Any joy? <sneek>Welcome back mlin, you have 2 messages. <sneek>mlin, amz3 says: also we need to sort native input vs inputs I am not sure the current recipe is correct regarding this topic <mlin>amz3: It works! Amazing, thank you so much I appreciate it <rekado>ACTION start reading huge backlog <rekado>For the record: there *are* rules for this channel. <rekado>for the whole project we abide by the code of conduct that is part of the Guix git repository. <rekado>This channel is about Guix development within the context of the GNU system. <mlin>amz3: How would I enable some of the modules on the polybar wiki? I forgot about that part <rekado>it’s not a problem to veer slightly off topic for a while, but it’s good to get back on topic quickly, especially when it’s pointed out by someone else. <rekado>on this channel we don’t want discussions about non-free software and how to get it to work in Guix. <rekado>I don’t have the full logs of the discussion above, but talking about getting firefox to work is not off topic here. <rekado>getting it to work through Nix on GuixSD is barely on topic, but I guess we had worse. <rekado>to those using this channel as a log of what they are currently doing, even if it has very little to do with Guix: I’d like you to remember that we have many newcomers here, who may feel alienated by long monologues. <rekado>Did something cause a GCC rebuild? <rekado>looks like it’s just me because I added a procedure to guix/build/utils.scm <jackhill>out of curiousity, what do we use gcc-4.x for? Bootstrapping, or are there still packages that don't build with newer gcc? <jackhill>And I guess a follow-up question: is there a guix command that I should be aware of, that would help answer questions like, "what uses X?" <rekado>jackhill: we use gcc-4 for both purposes. <amz3>mlin: I am looking at the wiki <amz3>mlin: it depends on the module! <amz3>mlin: i3 module requires i3 i guess <mlin>amz3: I would assume so, but I have that installed. Do I have to add it to inputs? <amz3>mlin: can you polybar already? <amz3>mlin: can you run polybar already? <mlin>amz3: Yes it works, but some modules are missing <mlin>amz3: I got i3 to work, but I need the libiw-dev package. What is the Guix equivalent? <catonano>Andy Milosavljevic has been great. Were they at the GNU Hacker Meeting ? Maybe I met them ? <mlin>Anyone know what the libasound2-dev package is for Guix? <OnlyHuman>hi what would test io-util fail fs-util fail and id128 fail indicate missing (building elogind) <rekado>catonano: I think the name is *Danny* Milosavljevic ;) <mlin>How do I use visudo, I get the error `no editor found (editor path = /usr/bin/vi)`? Or how to add `shutdown` and `reboot` to be executed in the userspace? <rekado>mlin: on GuixSD you wouldn’t use visudo but rather provide a sudoers file as part of your operating-system configuration. <rekado>mlin: take a look at the manual; follow the index item “sudoers file” <amz3>I have a guix.scm in my project that fails, I'd like to reproduce manually the steps taken by the builder <amz3>my program is autotools based <amz3>`guix environment -Cl guix.scm' doesn't help <catonano>amz3: if the build-system is gnu-build-system, then the steps taen by the builder are, basically, configure + make <catonano>anyway you can see exactly the phases thhat the builde goes through <amz3>if I `guix build -Kf guix.scm' and then source the environments and run `make check' the build pass :( <catonano>then I'd write on dev-guix, include a link to yor package <catonano>"Keep the build tree of failed builds. Thus, if a build fails, its build tree is kept under /tmp, in a directory whose name is shown at the end of the build log. This is useful when debugging build issues. See Debugging Build Failures, for tips and tricks on how to debug build issues." <amz3>I used keep failed but it doesn't help to reproduce the issue <catonano>isn't there anything usefful in the log ?
