<nckx>(It only works as root, or used to, though.) <quiliro>Burned mi potatoes!...Forgot them on the stove. <nckx>quiliro: Roll back to the previous potatoes. <quiliro>haha...but that will roll back all my changes! <quiliro>it could be possible to create a patch with the good part of the potatoes and discard the burnt part ...then add some code to avoid burning them again <quiliro>Inferiors.....Note: The functionality described here is a “technology preview” as of version 0.0-git. <nckx>quiliro: Yah, something's broken with automagic version generation in the manual, I noticed it today too… *nckx scratches ‘it's just me’ off the list, so thanks for that. ***catonano_ is now known as catonano

<quiliro>Is it because it is friday that nobody writes? <OriansJ>quiliro: I was just going to suggest #guix has become alot quieter since the 1.0 release <quiliro>OriansJ: I have only been in #guix often since 1.0 <quiliro>I don't think 1.0 is any more beta than 0.16, do you? <quiliro>In fact, i think that 0.16 had less bugs <quiliro>0.16 had less functionality, but less bugs than 1.0 <quiliro>I am not sure if it guix or guix packages that currently have this problem...or even if it is just my impression because of my lack of knowledge <OriansJ>quiliro: well a good chunk of the traffic was debates, arguments and how people felt things should be done. But now, everything is almost straight forward <OriansJ>when ever a new problem pops up, there is a bunch of fury but otherwise it is absolutely quiet <quiliro>OriansJ: I cannot open gnome-terminal. <OriansJ>quiliro: well let us first rule out the obvious from a known good working gui like gnome or i3 correct? <quiliro>from that terminal i type gnome-terminal and i get an error <OriansJ>can you use paste.debian.net to share a copy of the error message please <OriansJ>quiliro: looks like it failed to start dbus and folded like a deck of cards <OriansJ>is reverting to a previously known good working version from your package history an option? <quiliro>using an older grub entry made my system impossible to login to any user <quiliro>could not login to any user on any version after doing that <quiliro>i had to boot with another distro and fix the user ids manually on etc passwd and erase password on etc shadow <quiliro>OriansJ: i would pefer not to do it again *quiliro checks if this is the #guix chatroom :-) <OriansJ>quiliro: running find /gnu/store/ -iname gnome-terminal will find all of the previous gnome-terminal binaries and you can full path try to run them, which can be a short term work around until it can be fixed if roll back is not an option <marusich>I don't know why it occurs, but if it's reproducible, you might want to file a bug report by emailing bug-guix@gnu.org <marusich>I can run gnome-terminal without issues on my Guix system. <marusich>BTW, although they decided to call it Guix System, I think the current trend is to just call the GNU/Linux distro "Guix". <marusich>Do any other programs log errors about locales? <marusich>quiliro, then perhaps it is not an issue specific to gnome-terminal. I haven't seen this sort of issue on Guix system. Is your Guix installation up to date? Are you using the master branch? <marusich>i.e., when did you last run "guix pull" and "guix system reconfigure"? <marusich>and, "guix package -u ." or "guix package -m $my-manifest" to upgrade your packages, after having run "guix pull" <quiliro>guix pull && sudo guix system reconfigure desktop.scm && guix upgrade <quiliro>i dont think the locales problem has to do with my user but with my reconfigure <apteryx>eh, maybe I'm having a memory blank, it seems -- which package provides the btrfs manpage? btrfs-progs doesn't seem to be the one. <sneek>sirqwit, you have 1 message. <sneek>sirqwit, nckx says: No! You'll regret it. Just start a new shell, don't add anything to .bashrc. <sirqwit>i have installed icecat but instead of every number i see even when i write, a tab(space) <sirqwit>i have installed icecat but instead of every number i see even when i write, a tab(space) <rgrinberg>I’ve already tried that. There are no useful results <sirqwit>another things, which browsers do you use? <pkill9>i use chromium (called ungoogled-chromium in guix) <nckx>It's also included in gcc-toolchain. <rekado>would it make sense to add a little tutorial to the Guix cookbook? <rgrinberg>nckx: thanks. I googled around but couldn’t find anything. <rgrinberg>Is there a generic solution to this problem? Searching for which package provides a binary <nckx>rekado: I do, but… your question seems to imply some specific definition of ‘using btrfs’? <nckx>For example, I don't think booting from non-default subvolumes has made it to master yet. <nckx>rgrinberg: That's part of util-linux. <vixus>nckx: hmm, I'm not quite sure where to use that -- is it in place of the regular (use-modules ...)? <vixus>nckx: this is in reference to the (@@ (gnu system install) %installation-services) suggestion :p <nckx>vixus: It replaces (well, that's not really the right word) ‘%installation-services’. <rgrinberg>I'm trying to install vmware's guest tools on a guixsd vm and it's proving to be a bit painful :/ <nckx>So you'd get something like (cons* … … (@@ (gnu system install) %installation-services)), I guess. <nckx>rgrinberg: Oh… yes, I can imagine it will be. <roelj>Has anyone experienced not being able to log into GNOME on a foreign distribution when putting "source ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile" in ~/.bash_profile? <rekado>roelj: try unsetting XDG_DATA_DIRS or similar <rekado>the foreign system’s DE might not like this variable <rekado>I bet it’s like LD_LIBRARY_PATH lite <roelj>Hm, but it makes sure the icons for programs installed with Guix show up in the GNOME shell.. <roelj>In my case, changing ~/.bash_profile and restarting gdm doesn't make a difference. I need to reboot for changes to apply. Do you know what needs to be done to avoid rebooting? Then I can quickly iterate and pinpoint the actual problem.. <apteryx>rekado:it's not tricky to setup, no. <apteryx>unless you want to use subvolumes, which I'm trying to polish a set of patches I posted to the list a week or two ago. <apteryx>I should have said, 'unless you want to use subvolumes for the root file system' <apteryx>using subvolumes for home or other purposes is already possible <vixus>hmm ok now I'm running into an issue where I guess you can only have one etc-service per OS definition? <vixus>oh I need to use service extensions ***benny is now known as Guest93043
<quiliro>I get this error: "-sha256 hash mismatch for /gnu/store/bw3i7xnx847s3qf9qbbvfn93fzlc8w04-coin-4.0.0-src.zip:" when installing freecad <quiliro>I was glad to find freecad...i was then sad it would not install...but now i am worried that the coin package is installed as a dependency <nckx>quiliro: Why are you worried? <nckx>Let's see what they say first. It's almost certainly benign 🙂 <atw>ZIPs from GitHub are not reproducible, is the same true of Bitbucket? <bricewge>How can I compile the guix binary from my local repository? <bricewge>For sure it's written somewhere in the docs, but I can't manage to find it. <bricewge>Nevermind: `guix build --with-git-url=guix="$PWD" --with-branch=guix=mybranch` ***dftxbs3e_ is now known as dftxbs3e
<quiliro>nckx: why is coind3D needed for freecad? looks fishy <quiliro>nckx: oh.. "Coin3D is a high-level, retained-mode toolkit for effective 3D graphics development. <quiliro>It is API compatible with Open Inventor 2.1."...so it is needed for 3D graphics in FreeCAD...Not fishy. :-) <quiliro>nckx: somehow I thought it was something related to cryptocoin mining...jaja <nckx>atw: That's only true for the auto-generated ones, it's not clear to me that these are. Are you familiar with BB? <nckx>quiliro: …or ‘yes yes’ in Dutch. <nckx>It's rather hard to translate, but similar to ‘…, well well.’ in English. <atw>nckx: I am not, that was a guess on my part <quiliro>nckx: I bet j sounds in Dutch like in Esperanto...somewhat like initial y in English. <quiliro>I did not suspect Openscad was such a big package <quiliro>by the way, did I tell you that freecad package cannot be installed? something related to coin3D error <quiliro>2 hours installing openscad and does not finish <rekado>quiliro: you may also like libfive <rekado>unfortunately, it won’t run on an X200 <rekado>it needs a slightly newer graphics chip <quiliro>I could run debian's freecad on an atom processor with intel graphics card and on a core2duo w/intel graphics it worked like a charm....would libfive studio be heavier than freecad? <rekado>libfive depends on a more recent version of OpenGL, which was not supported on my X200 IIRC. I’m certain it doesn’t work on the Thinkpad T60. I’m not 100% sure if I actually tried it on my X200 (or if the laptop had died before then) <bricewge>rekado: Thanks for sharing libfive, you made my day! <vagrantc>epiphany on core-updates seems to be missing an input or something ... builds fine, but fails to run complaining about some library it can't find *vagrantc will look for the actual error <vagrantc>haven't checked if it still works on master <vagrantc>seems to have happened after the recent gtkwebkit update <vagrantc>and reverting webkitgtk 2.26.1 makes them work again
