<iskarian>(and if the host OS is not Guix, what is it?) <bost>Under Ubuntu I start Guix using qemu-system-x86_64 <iskarian>are you able to successfully connect to the VM using spice? <bost>iskarian: my /run/current-system/configuration.scm - contains (service spice-vdagent-service-type) right from the start <bost>iskarian: no. Neither spice nor virt-viewer works. <iskarian>Ah, I see the steps you took in guix-os.fish now <iskarian>Can you verify the service is running in the VM? `sudo herd status | grep spice` or similar <bost>That shows '+ spice-vdagentd' <iskarian>It also looks like you have a space before "name=com.redhat.spice.0" <iskarian>that's why qemu complains "No such file or directory"; it's trying to parse it as a file to open rather than an option <iskarian>Yes, but it should be connected: "-device virtserialport,nr=1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,chardev=vdagent, <bost>iskarian: leme change it pls. <iskarian>but yes, it's supposed to be "chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0" <bost>iskarian: Ok, except that I have multiple '-device' and '-chardev' switches is the qemu start command, and honestly I have no clue which are wrong and which not. <iskarian>Is there still an error with the command? <bost>iskarian: yes. still no shared clipboard. <iskarian>It starts with the name= argument though! That's a step forward <iskarian>So what is the command you are using to connect to the VM? <bost> -nic user,model=virtio-net-pci \ <bost> -enable-kvm -m $guixRAM \ <bost> -device virtio-blk,drive=myhd \ <bost> -drive if=none,file=$guixFile,id=myhd \ <bost> -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 \ <bost> -chardev spicevmc,name=vdagent,id=vdagent \ <bost> -device virtserialport,nr=1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 \ <iskarian>No, that's to start the vm; there should be a separate one to connect to it with virt-viewer <bost>iskarian: adding '-spice port=5930,disable-ticketing' doesn't help <iskarian>yes, that means the VM is now listening for spice connections. You still have to connect with e.g. `remote-viewer spice://localhost:4930` <bost>iskarian: AAAAAH!!! Now it works!!! <iskarian>I suppose the manual could be a little clearer about it <bost>iskarian: yes the manual could be a little clearer about it. Definitely. <iskarian>Also consider using QXL graphics acceleration, if it's not using it by default <iskarian>However, I'm not sure if the guest drivers for that are loaded by default, or even packaged in Guix <bost>iskarian: the "-vga qxl" - that's a qemu parameter right? That doesn't produce any observable difference. <bost>iskarian: '-vga xf86-video-qxl' returns 'qemu-system-x86_64: unknown vga type: xf86-video-qxl'. <iskarian>You can test if qxl is being used by running `lsmod | grep qxl` in the guest. ***j is now known as jess

How do I pass a string with some special characters in the link like & to a url fetcher. It argues that & is not allowed :( Also I can't use parens when specifying name for keyboard layout like "by(latin)". Is it about Guix or Guile string in general? <leoprikler>keyboard-layout should probably use @, e.g. by@latin, IIRC <leoprikler>either that or it's (keyboard-layout "by" "latin") <jahor>leoprikler, thank! I'll try! Nvm about the uri. It's not about the link, but about the store. So my bad was that I didn't give it a proper name. <sneek>Welcome back Las[m], you have 1 message! <sneek>Las[m], ng0 says: We have no docker package so far <bost>Hi. Is there a command to merge my system configuration /run/current-system/configuration.scm with manually installed packages (e.g. `guix install vim`) and creates an scm file? <bost>I've been googling for a while and found nothing, hmm. <rekado>bost: what is the desired behavior? <bost>rekado: my long term goal is to have a scm file containing all the packages (and their configuration) so that I can easily move between different machines. <rekado>you can of course have a manifest and an os-config in the same file; you’d still need to use two commands to instantiate either of them. <bost>rekado: well at first I need to learn what is a guix manifest... <abrenon>is there something special to do to use the `leave` function ? <abrenon>I see it's defined as a syntax rule, what does that entail ? <abrenon>I get "source expression failed to match any pattern" messages trying to compile code that uses `leave` to print a message and exit <rekado>bost: a manifest is a declaration of what packages you want to have installed to your profile <rekado>it can look like this: (specifications->manifest (list "python" "emacs" "whatever@3.2")) <rekado>then you instantiate it with “guix package -m manifest.scm”, which will install these packages (and *only* these) into a new generation of your default profile <bost>rekado: I see there's is the `guix package --list-installed` to see what I installed. That helps me to create the specifiction->manifest. I just wonder if there's some kind of `--format=channels` switch to generate the code for me. <rekado>you can also generate the manifest <bost>Oh. That was easy. Then sorry for my lame question. <vivien>Hi! Is there a procedure to install guix on a librebooted thinkpad? <sculp-ns>hey all, new to guix + the declarative paradigm; I am trying to initialize an environment with a given python3 version (3.6.4), but I can't find a package entry for ["python@3.6.4" "python-3.6.4 <sculp-ns>when searching packages with `guix package --list-available='python-[0-9]'`, or similar registry search commands <abrenon>if it's an older version maybe with guix time-machine to retrieve a state when this was the latest ? <sculp-ns>from the 'version' docs, it seems as though there are just no legacy entries for python versions, and I will have to specify a package definition for each prior version of the lang <rekado>that’s right, we don’t keep older versions unless there’s a very good reason. You can still access them via the time machine. <sculp-ns>abrenon; thanks for the suggestion - I assumed time-machine will only help if i have some record of the historic packages in my system history <sculp-ns>I will try something like `guix time-machine -- build python-3.6.4` <abrenon>no, I think it allows you to retrieve everything that's needed to build a previous state (prepare for some time though since I don't expect there will be substitutes available) <abrenon>I have no idea how to invoke it but that seems optimistic, is it that simple ? <sculp-ns>so is there no canonical protocol for referencing versions? I know in spec we have foo@1.a.3 <sculp-ns>abrenon; no, that command yielded `guix build: error: python-3.6.4: unknown package` <abrenon>I would have loved it though but I had no real hope : ) <abrenon>I've got a general development question regarding the store: how much should it be used ? <abrenon>I'm trying to retrieve .tar.gz archives in an importer, I can cache the archive itself with http-fetch/cached <abrenon>but I don't know where I should extract them ? does their extracted content belong to the store ? <abrenon>or to another cache folder next to ~/.cache/guix/http ? <abrenon>I don't really know where to find hints about the possible changes of the archive so I guess I can't really generate unique hashes <rekado>sculp-ns: time-machine takes a commit hash of the Guix repository or a channel definition file. It then looks up your packages in that alternative version of Guix. <rekado>the version string itself is not important to us, because there are so many other things that affect a binary (the versions of all of its inputs, recursively) <roptat>abrenon, I'd extract it to ~/.cache/guix/opam/<repo-name> <rekado>you’d need to map Guix commit hashes to versions of interest. <abrenon>thank you so much for you're advice ! <rekado>there was an Outreachy project to give you command line access to the history of Guix. I don’t know if it ever got merged. <sculp-ns>rekado; thanks for the info - I understand the perspective from the repro goals of transparent inputs/outputs - the 'api' to getting a given build of a package by the channel's commit SHA is just very procedural <abrenon>btw, the developer answered and it's not a deliberate choice, they didn't know about this structure recommendation and don't have strong opinions about it <abrenon>anyway my latest-version finder works now so : ) <sculp-ns>I will play around with this mapping between package->version->[channel] and hit the mailing list if anything interesting comes up <abrenon>do you know how to "pipe" the content of a port into a call to system* ? I'm passing the port-filename to the command but that's ugly considering the file is already open in reading <roptat>it's best if you can do it in guile <abrenon>cause I have no idea how to call tar either <abrenon>I've found a couple examples, which were doing gexpressions and all, hence my previous question about the store ^^ <roptat>use invoke, but why do you need to pipe a port? don't you have the filename in a variable somewhere? <abrenon>hmmm more or less, using http-fetch/cached, I get an open port <abrenon>like I said, I can always port-filename it, but that seems clumsy <abrenon>considering the port is already open and ready to be read <roptat>you mean you want to extract immediately, without writing to a file <roptat>no, it's similar to system*, but we use it instead <abrenon>(btw thanks ! I had seen invoke but I thought they were the same thing as calls to system*) <abrenon>no, it's cached, so it gets written anyway <roptat>I was thinking you could use (invoke "tar" "xf" filename) <abrenon>I'm sure there must be a way to pass a port as current-input-port or something <abrenon>I'm pretty sure I've seen that in the past 72h <roptat>I think you can't do that directly with system or invoke, so you have to fork and exec in the child ***sandcat is now known as jess
<roptat>I tried "(define (cat) (set-current-input-port (open-input-file "test")) (execl "/bin/cat" "/bin/cat"))" but (cat) doesn't print the content of "test" <roptat>so there must be another way to set the standard input... <abrenon>I've checked and invoke seems to be a mere wrapper around system*, were you referring to something else when you said to do it in guile ? <roptat>ah: (define (cat) (let ((port (open-input-file "test"))) (dup->fdes port 0) (execl "/bin/cat" "/bin/cat"))) <roptat>you'd use dup2 in C for that, so I was looking for it in the manual <roptat>it's on the page you've sent though, so you'd have found it <abrenon>only the first paragraph is sooo long <abrenon>and I obviously can't skip it for now <abrenon>anyway it confirms my first uneasiness when I started to discover guile: ports are not file descriptors, guile have more or less reimplemented their own interface for this ? <roptat>now a fellow guile hacker will come up and tell us how stupid we are to use such low-level procedures when there is this other handy procedure we haven't seen before <abrenon>but I have to produce something that at least works to receive such positive critics <abrenon>ohhh right, execl, meaning my guile repl becomes cat, and then closes… : ( <abrenon>hmmmm but that would also close the guix importer : / <roptat>(let ((pid (primitive-fork))) (if (= pid 0) (display "I'm the child\n") (display "I'm the parent\n"))) <abrenon>I haven't done much system programming but I remember that <roptat>(again, looking for "fork" in the manual) <abrenon>just didn't thought I'd need it to extract a simple tar.gz ^^ <roptat>you could close the port and extract the file it created, too <roptat>mh... if you can find it, that is <roptat>but the initial version of the importer used the tar gz too, how did we do it back then? <abrenon>yeah, looking back it seems like the clever thing to do <abrenon>and url-fetc/tarbomb imports an ungrafted tar from the %store-monad <abrenon>and invokes /gnu/store/…/tar on the retrieved tar.gz which is also a derivation in the store if I understand correctly #$drv <abrenon>what are these scary %repository-cache-directory ?! they appear to be stateful Oo <abrenon>yeah I've seen it and currently am struggling a bit <maximed>it's less low-level than forking, redirectig and execing <abrenon>now I only have to understand how to plug them together : ) <maximed>Keep in mind that 'current-input-port' is a Scheme-only thing. It won't interact with file descriptors <abrenon>so that's why it was cruelly failing with all my attempts to dup->fdes and such ^^ <maximed>The port from 'http-fetch' is most likely a ‘custom port’, constructed by a procedure like 'make-custom-binary-input-port' <abrenon>but is standard-input-port the same thing ? <maximed>the port from 'http-fetch' probably does not have a file descriptor ... <maximed>abrenon: is standard-input-port the same thing as what? <abrenon>hmm it's created from a good ol' open-input-file <abrenon>sorry, I meant the same thing as "current-input-port" <abrenon>(I know, "the difference between a parrot", etc. ^^) <maximed>abrenon: You're asking if 'standard-input-port' is the same thing as X, but you're neglecting to say what X is here ... <abrenon>I tried to fixed this at 16:32:45, my sincerest apologies for it again <maximed>FWIW, when Guile starts, it creates a port backed by file descriptor 0. (current-input-port) is initially set to that port <maximed>likewise for (current-output-port) and fd 1 <rekado>this is a bit odd. I’m using “guix environment --profile=/gnu/store/…-profile --container” and Guix first builds bash even though it’s part of that profile. <podiki[m]>hi guix! had fun playing on my new guix system yesterday, really enjoy using scheme for everything. finally a system I can understand (insert gif of jurassic park unix) <podiki[m]>and of course Mesa releases a new version, but will probably wait for the first bugfix release to submit a patch. might try it on my own anyway (at least building X with it) <vagrantc>since a lot of things depend on mesa, there might be a newer mesa in core-updates or staging <roptat>there is a newer mesa in core-updates-frozen already <abrenon>I found set-file-time in guix build utils since <maximed>abrenon: there is the 'mkdir-p' procedure <abrenon>does it allow to set mtime only if the folder had to be created ? <maximed>presumaby mtime is only modified if a directory is actually created (mtime == modification time) <abrenon>because I'm checking if the expanded folder is newer than the .tar.gz archive <abrenon>I need to put it back for when it's created <maximed>I don't understand what you're trying to do <roptat>(if (file-exists dir) (set-file-time ...) (mkdir-p dir)) <abrenon>sorry, I'm not making a lot of sense <abrenon>that can fail, typically if the input repos isn't actually a repos <abrenon>step b -> if and only if step a completed with success: extract index.tar.gz to a repos holding the corresponding repos <abrenon>but we're not going to do it if we haven't really retrieved a new index.tar.gz because it hasn't changed <elb>roptat: regarding GUIX_LOCPATH: that did it, thank you! <abrenon>so we start by checking which one of index.tar.gz and ~/.cache/opam/repo is newer <abrenon>trouble ! you forgot to initialize ~/.cache/opam/repo -> no problem, I'll just mkdir-p it before the extraction, in the case when the retrieval actually yielded something <abrenon>problem: the first time you use a repos: index.tar.gz will be created at t, and its cache repos at t+dt, so the empty dir holding it will be newer <abrenon>so the first time the archive won't get extracted <abrenon>we must confuse the system into believing the repo directory has always existed <roptat>(begin (mkdir-p dir) (set-file-time ...)) :) <roptat>and after you extract, set the mtime again to current time <abrenon>exactly what I'm writing ! : ) thanks for the file-exist, I hadn't stumbled upon it yet so I was embarrassing myself with calls to stat with #f to check if it existed <elb>elb: heh it looks like my config actually has that, but somehow my .bashrc and my .profile got out of sync, and so my currently-logged-in-guix is only half-configured. oops, fixed now :-) <podiki[m]>(yes I know about mesa in core-updates-frozen, I worked on that. I just meant even before that gets done mesa has a new version) <raghavgururajan>Hmm. system reconfigure warns about "could not do 'eval' on 'root' ..." something and system diesn't boot. <radvendii>I'm back to trying to figure out how to compile this opengl application with guix. With `mesa` in `inputs`, I get "opengl not found", with `libglvnd`, it compiles but then just shows a black screen. <radvendii>looking online, it seems like depending on `libglvnd` isn't really supported, but it's hard to tell <podiki[m]>mesa right now in guix is not built with libglvnd (not hard to modify it to do that though, there was a version of the current patch to update mesa that did it) <podiki[m]>but sounds like it should work with just mesa, that provides opengl libraries <apteryx>I think the eolie example in the manual is a bit wrong; it exposes /etc/ssl/certs only, but the certs can be symbolic links pointing to elesewhere in the store <apteryx>ah, but I see nss-certs is added to the environment, so that would work. Nevermind. <radvendii>podiki[m] yeah, that's what I thought. I'm using meson as a build system, which is using pkg-config to find opengl. <podiki[m]>do you know what specific lib it is looking for? could check versus what is in mesa (since there are different names/versions/vendors for gl) <podiki[m]>there is discussion about moving to libglvnd, seems like something comes up every day <radvendii>I see some things like https://paste.rs/Ybv in `packages/gnu/gnome.scm` in the definition of `cogl`, which has me suspecting that somehow things need to be guided to find opengl <podiki[m]>yeah, some packages have paths hardcorded to find opengl library <podiki[m]>likely that's what you are running into, I'd guess <podiki[m]>(and coincidentally those would need to be changed again if we move to libglvnd) <radvendii>I don't know what specific lib it's looking for. I have control over the application itself. It's just a `dependency('opengl')` call in meson. Maybe i'll look into jumping over to `libglvnd` <podiki[m]>might try a snippet like the one you sent, is probably common <leoprikler>for the record, whatever cogl does, it seems very broken from gstreamer's perspective <podiki[m]>radvendii: maybe look at others too, but there are a handful of packages that need changes to where they look for libgl in order to compile on guix; a minority, but not unheard of, and quicker to try than building mesa <bost>I uncommented the `(service openssh-service-type)` in the default /run/current-system/configuration.scm, ran `guix system reconfigure /path/to/configuration.scm` and rebooted. <bost>SSH daemon seems to be running: `sudo herd status | grep ssh` shows '+ ssh-daemon' but I can't connect. <bost>Is it enough just to have the `(service openssh-service-type)` or do I need to configure it? <cbaines>The default configuration should be OK, you've probably got a networking issue getting to the VM <cbaines>Assuming you're trying to ssh from the host, how is the traffic meant to be routed to the VM? <bost>cbaines: I use `qemu-system-x86_64 -nic user,model=virtio-net-pci,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22 ...` <bost>cbaines: and I try to connect with `ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -p 10022 guest@localhost` <bost>or just `ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -p 10022 localhost` <bost>cbaines: I think so. I get 'Warning: Permanently added '[localhost]:10022' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.' <cbaines>Ok, in what way does ssh fail to connect? <bost>And then a prompt for password. Which is strange since my 'guest' user has no password <cbaines>allow-empty-passwords? is #f in the default openssh service configuration, so that may explain the behaviour <bost>cbaines: So do I need to have `(service openssh-service-type <bost> (permit-root-login 'without-password)))` <radvendii>okay so apparently i needed to change the "opengl" dependency to a "gl" dependency. weird ***lukedashjr is now known as luke-jr
<cbaines>bost, I was pointing out the allow-empty-passwords? field of the configuration, since you said that your guest user has an empty password <cbaines>but in general, just change the configuration to what you want it to be <bost>cbaines: I put `(service openssh-service-type (openssh-configuration (permit-root-login #t) (allow-empty-passwords? #t)))` to my configuration (just in case) and now I'm running `guix system reconfigure configuration.scm`... <bost>cbaines: that takes time... but let's see if it helps. ***lukedashjr is now known as luke-jr

<Fare>is btrfs the way to go these days, or is it still ext4 ? <iskarian>rekado: this package is working on master and the only change to it for core-updates was a small change to use search-input-file/search-input-directory <jackhill>Fare: clearly you see how how feel, but I'm not anti-ext4, I just like some of the btrfs features :) <iskarian>Ahh, I just searched upstream, this is an issue with gcc 9+; it was fixed in later versions <Fare>I'm just worried about stability and have heard horror stories about btrfs ***lukedashjr is now known as luke-jr
<maximed>Fare: fwiw, is functioning just fine on my laptop (1 year so far) <jackhill>Fare: I haven't done anything to really push it (single disk, nothing too fancy. I'd like ot use bees for de-duplication, but haven't finished writing a Guix service for it yet), but it hasn't been a problem for me. I haven't tracked performance. Great thing about Guix is that it provides up to date kernels <iskarian>Okay, why can't I search "spec:core-updates-frozen" on cuirass? (it returns nothing) <Fare>I made some progress, and am now stuck in the early boot Guile. How do I diagnose from there? <Fare>(system "ls") returns 2, I suppose that means error *Fare discovers ,bournish <Fare>cryptsetup: no such file or directory. I suppose that might explain this. <maximed>Fare: Guix doesn't put things in /usr/bin or /bin <maximed>"cryptsetup" not being in PATH isn't unusual
