<EternalZenith>It's part of the sudo package, but doesn't function at all until you add it manually <civodul>rekado: actually i found that i could just "guix copy" a recently pulled guix over some of the build nodes and make the appropriate symlinks <civodul>that way they'll have ~/.config/guix/current/bin/guix repl <EternalZenith>Has anyone else been having issues downloading substitutes from mirror.guix.info? <nikolice>Hello from an 'ii' - a minimalistic FIFO and filesystem based IRC-client. <EternalZenith>I cannot seem to get the "git-reference" downloader for packages to work recursively <EternalZenith>I tried adding "(recursive? #t)" after the "(url ...)" and "(commit ...)" fields, but that doesn't work <EternalZenith>nikolice: I'm trying to switch my polybar package to download the source directly from git, rather than using the github autogenerated tarball <EternalZenith>It has a couple submodules that aren't cloned normally when using the git downloader <nikolice>EternalZenith, I'm not such a user. I even have no polybar. <nikolice>EternalZenith, what does the polybar? Is it a part of an I3? <EternalZenith>nikolice: polybar is a status bar, like what i3 comes with by default on the bottom of the screen <nikolice>EternalZenith, I don't want any WM on my laptop. <nikolice>brendyyn, i live in Belarus: here we celebrate on 7th January. <brendyyn>We aren't celebrating atm, we'll be doing something for Ukranian Christmas instead or there abouts <nikolice>brendyyn, i am not sure but the longest night was on 21st of December. And maybe that's the Christmas. <brendyyn>Seems like they just take a holiday for all of them \o/ <nikolice>brendyyn, that day the sun rose at 9:XX and went down at 16:XX - short day, a reason not to make people go through the darkness. <brendyyn>Makes sense. We like in Australia though so it's stinking hot with long days <nikolice>brendyyn, i am on the northern hemisphere. <nikolice>brendyyn, that was a 'Who wants to be a millionaire?' question for V.V.Zhirinowski & Roza Syabitova. <nikolice>brendyyn, the variants: a. Shepherd, b..., c... d. Swim-suit. <nikolice>brendyyn, st.Claus's outfit for Christmas in Sydney. <nikolice>brendyyn, i watched it on YouTube. But now, i need to make it watchable through the framebuffer :) <brendyyn>bill-auger: funny how the penguin is giving linux-libre. does this forshadow torvalds learning to oppose blobs in the kernel? <amz3>funny there is not guix in the pack <brendyyn>they probably used guix at the north pole to export the packs <brendyyn>Hi from a wireless keyboard on Arch via synergy to my laptop with GuixSD <brendyyn>From the description synergy is: Synergy brings your computers together in one cohesive experience; it's software for sharing one mouse and keyboard between multiple computers on your desk. ***dddddd_ is now known as dddddd
<jlicht>good news! I have the recently released Forge (for emacs) packaged for Guix! It works _amazingly well_, and I should be able to push my packages once tarsius creates proper versions of all dependencies early next year. <roptat>so I'm trying to update our groovy package, and I need to update java-asm <roptat>there's a cyclic dependency with java-jarjar, which doesn't build with the new java-asm <roptat>jarjar is not developped anymore, but I found a fork that seems to be active <roptat>I haven't tested yet, but I think it might build with the newer java-asm ***rekado_ is now known as rekado
<rekado>could you leave the old java-asm around for jarjar? <roptat>ah I'm just stupid, it's not a build failure ^^" <roptat>so, rebuilding up to java-asm now <roptat>the installation in jarjar referenced asm-6.0.jar, but it's called asm.jar now <roptat>since I'm rebuilding everything anyway, I could also try to unbundle maven-plugin-api <brendyyn>I moved to protonmail, only to find it requires a local server to interact with mail clients, which only has windows and mac versions..... fantastic <tune>lack of imap support on protonmail and tutanota is truly disappointing <brendyyn>I first had lavabit.com, which suddenly died, then I ran my own server, which was traumatising, then openmailbox.org, which i donated to when it was free, suddenly became monetised, which i paid for only for it to die for months, not that it ever ran well in the first place <jlicht>I like posteo, for the reason they (claim to) use green energy, and promote encrypting your email, while still offering everything I need :) <jlicht>ChrisAbela: guix system reconfigure needs a system configuration file as well <ChrisAbela>Is the same one that I needed for the installation? <bill-auger>brendyyn: that particular penguin is 'freedo' the linux-libre mascot <jlicht>ChrisAbela: sure, you can feed it the same one you gave to guix system init :) <jlicht>or any other valid system configuration file for that matter *rekado reconfigures a bunch of build nodes <janneke>...in a single command with his experimental wip-deploy hack? ;-) *janneke does some hacking while on vacation, preparing Mes for M2-Planet <rekado>sadly, the Guix running on the build nodes is too old for that! <ChrisAbela>I managed with bare-bones.scm but desktop.scm keeps raising errors of invalid field separators <rekado>ChrisAbela: can you show us the full error message? <rekado>can you show us the complete “desktop.scm”? (As a text file please.) <rekado>the error looks like you have misplaced parentheses <rekado>ChrisAbela: by adding “(service openssh-service-type)” to the list of services <jlicht>ChrisAbela: there is something weird going on with your file-systems declaration <rekado>%base-file-systems should not be part of (file-system …) <jlicht>you should move one of the ')' on the line with %base-file-systems to the line above it <jlicht>to notice these kinds of issues in the future, try to set up your editor of choice to properly format s-expressions so you can quickly see suspicious indents for cases like these, ChrisAbela. I use emacs, but I think most editors have some plugin or command to do this for you. <pkill9>jlicht: you can use inferior packages for the kernel now <jlicht>pkill9: I noticed, very exciting news indeed! <amz3>ChrisAbela: root partition is ... '/' basically, but '/home' has its own partition. In the end, what matters is that the packages you install will occupy space in the root partition <amz3>ChrisAbela: if you are not constrainted by space I think 20G is good <ChrisAbela>From where is the / partition determined/configured? <rekado>ChrisAbela: it is not configured through Guix at all. <pkill9>i would bump it up to 50G if you can <pkill9>the root partition with /gnu/store <ChrisAbela>Clearly something decides the / partition size, right? <pkill9>guix generates a lot of waste, so it's good to not need to run `guix gc` regularly <rekado>ChrisAbela: you need to partition the disk yourself. Guix doesn’t do this. <ChrisAbela>rekado: But the mount points are inconsistent with the partitioning scheme <ChrisAbela>May I know what entry I need to /gnu/store in /etc/fstab ? <roptat>I got past the groovy-java-bootstrap, so I might be able to update groovy after all :) <efraim>where do zsh completion scripts go?
