<atw>OriansJ: ah I overlooked noncommercial. Rats!

<PotentialUser-63>Hey, hope your day is going great. Could you help me with my issue?

<PotentialUser-63>im trying to install libreboot in x60 with Guix installed, however when I run sudo ./flash i945lenovo\_firstflash .......rom

<PotentialUser-63>asks me for my password and then fails and says “sudo: unable to execute ./flash: No such file or directory”

<buenouanq>so how can I help with fixing this rust thing?

<buenouanq>I need icecat...

<buenouanq>is the calibre build problem the same? I'll try that one again in a minute.

<PotentialUser-51>hi there :)

<Lukas4454>hey, sold my pc, got a new one

<Lukas4454>aaaaah wat a beoutiful night to fix errors in the installer again

<Lukas4454>grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `none'

<Lukas4454>how to fix this?

<Lukas4454>please help me getting guix to work properly

<Lukas4454>it seems like i again found a bug in the installer

<Lukas4454> https://i.imgur.com/GrfUhQJ.jpg

<Lukas4454>oh hey

<Lukas4454>more users

<Lukas4454>i have less than an hour btw

<Lukas4454>i think it tries to install the efi bootloader into an ext4 fs... dont know why your installer does this

<Lukas4454>i dont know how to manually do that so i really could need a hand

<Lukas4454>i mean it benifits for you if i find bugs right?

*Lukas4454 yawns at 1:26 am

<xavierm02>Lukas4454: Given how things are going, I think you might want to just install Debian and use Guix a a package manage rin it.

<Lukas4454>nah

<xavierm02>Just do the partitioning manually then

<xavierm02>An efi partition mounted on /boot/efi

<xavierm02>idk what size but google should know

<xavierm02>and the rest of the disk mounted on /

<xavierm02>in ext4

<Lukas4454>ya i know

<Lukas4454>im just bad at scheme

<Lukas4454>im an ex Arch user

<xavierm02>are you encrypting your filesystem?

<xavierm02>Lukas4454: ^

<xavierm02>you can probably just copy the file-systems field from any of the million of guix configs posted online

<Lukas4453>Nope

<Lukas4453>Just found the problem

<Lukas4453>Had my partition table to msdos instead of gpt

<Lukas4453>Kinda my bad but it would be nice if the installer says something about this

***gnubie is now known as Guest10916

<Guest10916>I am setting up guix on raspbian using documentation in "Binary Installation". I am not sure reading the documentation what should be the correct .bashrc and .bash_profile setting. Under /var/guix/profiles/per-user/<uname>/ there is both "guix-profile" and "current-guix". Should they both be in the PATH? What is the correct $PATH setting for both r

<Guest10916>oot and user?

<samplet>Guest10916: Both of them should be in your path, with “current-guix” taking precedence.

<Guest10916>samplet: thanks

<Guest10916>I am not sure where exactly recommended PATH entry is written in the documentation. I too found it out in this yt link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2XS92qrLUc&t=586s while waiting for the answer.

<kori>hello guix

<buenouanq>rust-1.19.0 and qtwebkit-5.212.0-alpha3 fail to build on i686

<buenouanq>causing icecat and calibre from being built respectively

<buenouanq>how can I help get these fixed?

<Gamayun>buenouanq: Anything useful in the build logs?

<lispmacs>buenouanq: i asked a similar question a week or so ago, and somebody here pointed me to a bug they had filed with rust project to that effect, with a lot of detail, but I'm having trouble finding the link

<buhman>I pulled from a broken guix channel, and I haven't found an obvious way to recover from this. Suggestions? https://0x0.st/zOsr.txt

<buhman>wow, this is actual magic: https://0x0.st/zOso.txt

<buhman> https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2018/multi-dimensional-transactions-and-rollbacks-oh-my/ seems like this isn't in the manual (yet)?

<sammich>im trying to run 'cargo run' on a project but im getting an ssl error, are there environmental variables that cargo needs to run on guix?

<nixo_>rekado_: Hi, I was havning a look at the fixes you suggested for the julia-build-system. To set the JULIA_LOAD_PATH I should change the julia package to include the "native-search-paths" field?

<nly>hi guix

<nly>can somebody help me compile guile-nacl?

<nly> https://git.piviq.ga:9443/guile-nacl.git/tree/

<nly>i'm a noob when it comes to autotools

<nly>looks like julius have changed their license to be more 'free'

<nly>it's bsd-3-clause now

<xavierm02>What's considered less ugly between a substitution in all files (/usr/local/share/lyx -> /gnu/store/....lyx...) or giving an argument to the program (lyx -sysdir /gnu/store/...lyx...), given that I need a wrapper anyway?

*davexunit updated guile-next to 2.9.3

<hulten>Hello! Does anyone here have experience with using ConTeXt on Guix?

<hulten>I get this error when running 'context test.tex': «mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'».

<quiliro>saluton Guix!

<minall>Hello guix!

<minall>quiliro: keil vi fartas

<hulten>Pardonu min, mi ne sciis ke ni parolu Esperanton ĉi tie.

<hulten>Do... mia demando estis ĉu iu havas sperton kun ConTeXt sur Guix.

<hulten>Mi ricevas eraron pri neeksista 'context.lua' aŭ 'mtx-context.lua'. :-(

<minall>quiliro: No me he podido conectar y no podre este fin de semana... cualquier cosa te aviso, estoy en medio de una mudanza....

<quiliro>hulten: mi ne scias ConTeXt ... mi serĉos ĝin

<quiliro>hulten: Guix-o ne havas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConTeXt -on

<quiliro>hulten: sed vi povas konstrui la pakaĝon por ĝi

<quiliro>hulten: per la guidva https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2018/a-packaging-tutorial-for-guix/ -o

<quiliro>hulten: ĉu vi sendis mesaĝon al la listo retpoŝta?

<bmolinh>Hi! Sorry to bother but, anyone know how to get a "Wacom Serial Tablet PC Stylus" working on GuixSD? Tried guix install xf86-input-wacom, libwacom and xf86-input-evdev but still did nothing, it's a Librebooted X60 tablet

<hulten>Saluton quiliro, mi legos...

<quiliro>hulten: ĉu kiam vi recevis tiun eraron? Konteksto, mi petas vin

<quiliro>bmolinh: have you searched the mailing list?

<hulten>quiliro: mi instalis texlive-bin kaj texlive-context-base, kaj mi tajpis:

<hulten>context test.tex

<bmolinh>quiliro: no I haven't, where's that? Sorry

<hulten>'context' estas konata komando, kaj test.tex kompileras bone sur Debian kun TeX Live.

<hulten>Tamen mi ricevas ĉi tiun mesaĝon: «mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'».

<hulten>quiliro: Mi ne sendis jam mesaĝon al listo; mi ektajpas mesaĝon kun la problemo.

<hulten>quiliro: se vi testos: eble vi bezonas kun texlive-context-base. La pakaĵo texlive-bin estas grandega, mi pensas (bonvolu kontroli).

<quiliro>hulten: ho ve! mi komprenas vin nun...mi petas vin: atendu ol iu respondas la liston

<quiliro>hulten: mi testos....

<hulten>Mi ventas. Dankon, quiliro.

<hulten>*mi atendas

<quiliro>hulten: sed atendu vin, mi petas

<quiliro>:-)

<hulten>quiliro: vi povas krei simplan testdokumenton kiel ĉi tie: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/First_Document#Create_a_ConTeXt_file

<quiliro>mi instalas texlive-context-base

<quiliro>mi kreis hello.tex

<quiliro>sed mi ne finas instali

<hulten>quiliro: Mi vespermanĝos. Mi revenos ĉi tie post duona horo!

<hulten>quiliro: Mi sendos eposton al help-guix@.

<quiliro>hulten: ĉu vi sercis en la reto?

<hulten>quilioro: Jes mi sercis la reton kaj mi ne trovis solvon kiu funkciis por mi.

<MH026>sorry, I only speak Lojban Kappa

<MH026>how did you learn Esperanto?

<erudition>coi!

<quiliro>MH026: lernu.net , esperanto.net , ##esperanto , la sagreba metodo , etc , just try to write or speak ...it will flow eventually

<iv-so>Hi!

<iv-so>I installed Guix a few days ago and just want to write packages for tools that are not in the repo. But! But I constantly meet this bug: https://www.mail-archive.com/bug-guix@gnu.org/msg14011.html . Is there any way to fix this?

<vup>hey, I am trying to get guix offload working, however `guix offload test` always fails with this error message: https://paste.niemo.de/ixopicezuh for me

<vup>`ssh root@mel guix --version` is working

<vup>any ideas how to further debug this?

<mbakke>vup: does "ssh node guix repl --version" work?

<vup>mbakke: yes

<vup>(atleast as far as i can tell, this is its output: https://paste.niemo.de/uregipiqoy )

<FennecCode>Does anyone know how to add Guix's packages from the most recent pull to Emac's search on a foreign distro?

<leungbk>make check TESTS="tests/swh.scm"

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

<sneek>leungbk, nckx says: http://paste.debian.net/1093772/

<leungbk>hmm, OK then.

<quiliro>FennecCode: you could use emacs-guix or do the pull from eshell

<FennecCode>I'm using emacs-guix. The problem is that when I search for new packages, they don't show up. I'm not sure why emacs-guix's package listings are out of date, and I can't figure out how to update them

<quiliro>M-x guix-pull

<quiliro>FennecCode: ^

<FennecCode>That might be on to something, but I ran it, and I got "guix pull: error: openssl-runpath.patch: patch not found"

<alexanderbarbosa>well, seems openssl is having troubling ... maybe asking for guix ignore openssl definition as it pull...

<quiliro>alexanderbarbosa: how do you do that?

<quiliro>alexanderbarbosa: for some reason you remind me of johnny depp

<alexanderbarbosa>quiliro: wat? ... i literally "love" him.. :D

<quiliro>FennecCode: you could try it later

<rekado_>jjjjjjhit.itxdtccexjdt..j.kcxeyckieubdb.dyut

<rekado_>sorry

<rekado_>you can’t ask Guix to “ignore” a package that it needs to build.

<rekado_>try without emacs-guix

<rekado_>emacs-guix does not yet use “guix repl”, so there are known problems with it.

<alexanderbarbosa>^

*rekado_ –> zzZ

<alexanderbarbosa>lol

<alexanderbarbosa>you can go backward on your generation list...that sounded weird

<quiliro>alexanderbarbosa: i remember now, there was a character on pirates of the caribean...a very good one... his name was barbosa!

<quiliro>impressive actor!

<alexanderbarbosa>quiliro: lol, pirates of caribean oof

<quiliro>have you seen it?

<buhman>mbakke: wow! I thought I was being patient waiting a solid 15min, but sure enough, mash a few keys and boot continues in seconds.

<alexanderbarbosa>quiliro: nope.... but I believe you, he must be a great actor

<mbakke>buhman: sorry about that! and thanks for filing the bug report :-)

<quiliro>barbosa was the character...the villan on some of the movies...the friend of the hero (johnny depp) on one of them

<mbakke>I think one fix could be to have ssh depend on the 'urandom-seed' service, but I haven't done any research yet

<quiliro>how do you ignore a package on guix?

<mbakke>or make sure to seed the RNG earlier somehow

<buhman>mbakke: thanks for all of these wonderful updated packages :)

<alexanderbarbosa>quiliro: guix pull dont have that feature but package do ... lol

<mbakke>you are very welcome :-)

<quiliro>alexanderbarbosa: where did you get that?

<quiliro>alexanderbarbosa: i tryed searching the manual

<alexanderbarbosa>quiliro: --do-not-upgrade

<alexanderbarbosa>quiliro: $ info guix-package

<quiliro>alexanderbarbosa: cool!

<alexanderbarbosa>quiliro: I believe that most distro package managers have that feature too... apt/emerge/dnf do

<quiliro> $ guix package --upgrade . --do-not-upgrade emacs

<quiliro>only works with upgrade

<alexanderbarbosa>still wondering in some important package why there is not info but man pages... that %hit just suck...

<alexanderbarbosa>if there was at least toc for man pages...

<quiliro>but anyway, even if it worked with install, it would not serve us because we need it for pull

<quiliro>info guix then go to packages

<alexanderbarbosa>quiliro: well, guix generations ftw

<alexanderbarbosa>I would love that lisp had that $_ from shell... so neat

<alexanderbarbosa>tho criptic

<alexanderbarbosa>well, any big document with no toc...sucks :D

<alexanderbarbosa>outshine ftw
