<iskarian>sneek, later tell muradm: fyi arcan + arcan-sdl are succeeding on core-updates-frozen now <mala>so I'm doing some minor hacking on a package definition to upgrade it to a latest version, and one of the patches is no longer applying cleanly. My plan is to just download the source and manually create a new patch, stick it into the guix tree and see if it works when I next build it. But is there a better way? Like maybe obtaining or preserving the source tree that guix build sees? <iskarian>mala, you can do `guix build <my-package> --keep-failed' <iskarian>it will then keep the build directory in /tmp/guix-build-whatever and you can inspect it <iskarian>(if patches are failing, it will be the build directory for the source) ***califax- is now known as califax
<zacchae[m]>when booting from a btrfs subvolume, guix automatically adds the necessary subvolume to paths given to the bootloader. Should it also do this for other menu-entries? Because it does <zacchae[m]>This is problematic when I try to add an entry on a different subvolume <zacchae[m]>for example, I have guix on subvolume /guix and another OS on /other. I try to specify /other/boot/vmlinuz-linux, but that gets changed to /guix/other/boot/vmlinuz-linux <zacchae[m]>I'm going to try specifying ../other/boot/vmlinuz-linux, but that seems like a hack mor than the "right" way, no? <zacchae[m]>Shouldn't the subvolume prefix for guix not be automatically added to auxhilary menu entries?

<rekado_>I get an ugly backtrace when trying to get substitutes while running ‘guix system reconfigure’ <attila_lendvai>i have an app that generates shell scripts (idris). changing it to generate `#!/usr/bin/sh env` doesn't seems to be enough, even though if i look around in the builder env /usr/bin/env is there and seems to work. what am i missing? <dstolfa>attila_lendvai: could it be that it's explicitly invoking /bin/bash somewhere or something like that? <cbaines>attila_lendvai, what do you mean by builder env? I don't think /usr/bin/env would exist there. <attila_lendvai>cbaines, oh, right. all i did was cd into the /tmp/guix/builder... and source the environment. but i guess when the actual build is running /usr/bin/env doesn't even exist, right? <cbaines>attila_lendvai, assuming you're not running the guix-daemon with --disable-chroot, the build will take place in an isolated mount namespace, which means things like /usr/bin won't be included <rekado_>this is with the latest Guix. I just pulled. <rekado_>it’s probably the WiFi on this device <nckx>civodul: Kick them, ban them if their client's too insistent, explain what happened over e-mail & how they can easily get 'unbanned' (and make a note to unban them in a week in case it's fixed) -> is what I do. I don't know who ix is though. <attila_lendvai>but then how do i solve it? i'll need to pass the shell as a command line argument, or as an env variable? and add support for it to the app? <rekado_>I also can’t get a substitute for gnome-shell (”server is somewhat slow“) and it tries to build it locally, but fails. *rekado_ erases the substitute cache <cbaines>attila_lendvai, I'm not sure what problem you're trying to solve? Are there scripts that need fixing for to get some package to build? <nckx>I'm also getting the 'server is somewhat slow' message on a link that isn't. <attila_lendvai>cbaines, these scripts are generated and then run. one backend of idris is using chez scheme, and invokes it through a generated shell script. since then i realized there's already a variable: $SHELL *attila_lendvai gets into hacking idris to getenv SHELL <cbaines>rekado_, looking at the code, that error suggests that the data in the cache file is unexpected <pkill9>please can someone put a link to the guix git repository on the front page of the guix website <nckx>apteryx: Something like arm-trusted-firmware or ath9k-htc-firmware or ...? <jonsger-laptop>do we build somewhere already an installation image based on core-updates-frozen? <rekado_>cbaines: it’s likely corrupted because of the unstable wifi on this laptop *nckx nods, 'About > Contribute' isn't... great. Though 'front page' is overkill. <rekado_>there’s no more error since deleting /var/guix/substitutes/cache <pkill9>gnutls decided not to fail to build <civodul>but yeah, like cbaines writes, it could be some corruption in the substitute cache <rekado_>maybe we could add a nicer error message…? <rekado_>BTW: I’ve been working on plymouth to show a splash screen and all that. <cbaines>there's already some error handling around that, but yeah, maybe guix could just say the cache file is corrupt and then delete it <rekado_>testing changes to the initrd is a bit annoying because it takes so very long to build the initrd and all the (guix build) modules <civodul>rekado_: i'd rather see an ugly backtrace in this case because it suggests a Real Issue <civodul>like, you're not supposed to get a random bit string in those cache files <yoctocell>attila_lendvai: You might want to try it to see if things work for you <attila_lendvai> yoctocell, thanks for the head's up! on a parallel line i'm also working on the bootstrapping of idris itself, i.e. bootstrap it all the way from GHC. but i'll certainly look at them, thanks! <tschilptschilp23>Hi all!

It would be rough to try to use and and find out that you needed to hit the magic 2 week window <roptat>it started with the latest version that didn't need a kotlin compiler, and then building the most recent version that compiler is able to build, etc <roptat>and that's roughly one new bootstrap every two weeks, but I'm hoping it gets better nowadays <lilyp>Hopefully it's not one new week every two bootstraps like in Scala. <roptat>scala is worse, it's eventually grounded in non-free software... <roptat>probably, the best plan for scala is to write an alternative compiler/interpreter in a subset of Scala that can build the full Scala compiler, and create a small Scala compiler in another language <roptat>that's what we did for OCaml: an interpreter in a subset of OCaml, and a compiler in Guile for that subset <roptat>yes, I have versions 133, "134" and 135 <roptat>it works well enough to build kotlin :p <roptat>(and other files like java.scm contain additional dependencies) <lilyp>If your version can interpret arbitrary Scala versions up to some point (say 2.x.y-z) it'd be a better alternative to the real scala tho <mfg>Hi guix, is it possible to start postgres as a user service? <lilyp>afaik there's no home-postgres-service-type slated for inclusion in guix home yet, but you could try setting things up similarly and adding a shepherd service <mfg>thx, i will have a look at the guix-home source, maybe it helps :) <mbakke>why does 'make as-derivation' compute a different po4a than './pre-inst-env guix build po4a'? <txgvnn>Hello everyone, today after `guix pull`, my emacs-guix doesn't work anymore <txgvnn>I found commit 53f54d4aa2 has break emacs-guix <txgvnn>I tried it by `guix pull --commit=10c981b135 --allow-downgrades` <civodul>txgvnn, tschilptschilp23: how is it broken exactly? <txgvnn>this command: emacs -nw -q --eval '(guix-installed-packages)' <tschilptschilp23>civodul: it does not show up running M-x guix-TAB -- the only suggestion I get is 'guix-emacs-autoload-packages', and nothing like guix-help <txgvnn>oh, shit.

But which service module provides it? <abhiseck>It seems tor-service has been renamed to tor-service-type <roptat>abhiseck, you'd use (service tor-service-type) <abhiseck>When I run guix system reconfigure getting error: wrong type to apply <roptat>we used to have procedures like (tor-service) that were simply doing (service tor-service-type) <Noisytoot>I have (service tor-service-type (tor-configuration (control-socket? #t))) <roptat>everytime you see *-service, it's a procedure you can use, and everytime you see *-service-type, it's not a procedure, and you need to use it with (service *-service-type [configuration]) (configuration is optional) <abhiseck>Noisytoot: I want specific programs to to work with torsocks, will it do that? <roptat>the tor service only makes tor available, it doesn't force any app to use it <abhiseck>I want tor daemon to run jn background... And then use torsocks for specific programs for exam 'torsocks wget' <roptat>yeah, the service will make that possible <Noisytoot>abhiseck, you will also need to "guix install torsocks" (or add torsocks to config.scm) if you want to use torsocks <cage>Hi! i am trying to compile guix (from the git repository) and i got two errors in 'guix-daemon.cc' <cage> 462 | # error chroot is assumed to be available <cage>85:40: error: 'GUIX_SUBSTITUTE_URLS' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'GUIX_OPT_SUBSTITUTE_URLS'? <cage>please, can you help me? <iskarian>cage, just to double check, did you run `./bootstrap' and `./configure --localstatedir=/var' (or similar)? <geex3>whats a good way to bind/symlink all my various profile's icons dirs into ~/.icons ? so that one could use panel shortcut icons that arent in PATH yet <cage>iskarian: i rechecked and, yes, i used `./configure --localstatedir=/var' <cage>i compiled guix before and this is the firs time i meet this kind of error <cage>i just pulled the lastes version from master branch <apteryx>perhaps clean your tree and starts from a fresh state, in doubt <cage>apteryx: this is what i just did and it works! :) <cage>apteryx: iskarian thanks for your support :) <old>Hey! I have a problem when building a package using the cmake build system. The build failed to download dependencies from github. I get an error message saying `can't resolve hostname github.com. Any idea? <maximed>old: Add the dependency to 'inputs' (or 'native-inputs' if appropriate) <sneek>maximed, you have 1 message! <sneek>maximed, lispmacs[work] says: I am getting an error when I try to use backquote syntax you defined: In procedure syntax-wrap: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting syntax object). Maybe show me how you use it in a definition? <maximed>old: By design, the build environment does not have access to network <maximed>Granting access to the network would open a can of irreproducibility worms ... <old>maximed that's what I though. I tried adding the dependencies to propagated/native-inputs without success. Cmake is still trying to pull de deps from github <old>I should precise it's trying to pull .tar.gz, and not clone the repo <maximed>old: Possibly you'll have to patch the CMakeLists.txt to stop it from fetching extra code from github <maximed>or maybe there is some kind of configuration option to use the ‘system library’, as it is sometimes called, instead <maximed>cage: the guix daemon needs 'chroot', which is available on GNU/Hurd and GNU/Linux <maximed>cage: Maybe check 'configure.log' to see if it says anything about 'chroot'? <maximed>cage: (Actually, guix-daemon is a --disable-chroot option, but it's not recommended) <maximed>sneek: later tell lispmacs[work]: Actually, that's not always correct, let me send a new version ***iyzsong- is now known as iyzsong
<pkill9>can anyone reproduce this compilation error <pkill9>/tmp/guix-build-isc-dhcp-4.4.2-P1.drv-0/dhcp-4.4.2-P1/bind/bind-9.11.32/lib/dns/include/dns/types.h:230:10: fatal error: dns/enumtype.h: No such file or directory <pkill9>this is with target=arm-linux-gnueabihf <pkill9>thanks to time machine you can reproduce build errors on a specufuc guix revision with a one liner <pkill9>in this case `guix time-machine -- build --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf isc-dhcp` <pkill9>i think what i will do when i get home is remove everything i can from the image im building <pkill9>so i dont have to fix these compilation errors <iskarian>civodul, maximed, I can get libsigsegv to pass emulated aarch64 tests if I configure with `--disable-stackvma' <civodul>iskarian: oh nice; maybe we should do that unconditionally on aarch64? <civodul>it probably doesn't make that big of a difference <maximed>iskarian: maybe test if 'clisp' doesn't mind --disable-stackvma? <old>maximed it worked. I patched the CMake files and use the source from Guile instead. Thank you! <maximed>'clisp' might be using libsigsegv for implementing garbage collection <iskarian>it still should be reported upstream, though I'm not sure whether it's libsigsegv not properly reading /proc/self/maps or whether it's a qemu issue <maximed>or for detecting writes to immutable pairs <maximed>iskarian: Maybe report to both, and let QEMU and libsigsegv figure out whose issue it is exactly between theirselves? <maximed>pkill9: "guix build isc-dhcp --target=aarch64-linux-gnu" works for me <maximed>apparently ci.guix.gnu.org had a substitute <pkill9>weird, which revision of guix are you on maximed ? <apteryx>maximed, iskarian I'd err toward a QEMU bug if it's specific to QEMU <pkill9>maximed: what does arm-linux-gnueabihf do for you? <apteryx>it's been known that QEMU often causes issues -- test suites sometimes fail for example, only when run using QEMU emulation <maximed>pkill9: Oops I used a different triplet <pkill9>when i get home i will remove the networking service so it won't try to build isc-dhcp <iskarian>Huh, can't make a gitlab account because emails from them are disappearing into a black hole... <cehteh>is your surename 'plain' or 'zip' ? :) <Noisytoot>I can't log in to GitLab because it requires running nonfree cloudflare JS <lilyp>Tag yourselves, my surname is tar.bz <nckx>I think I encountered a .bz archive like… once, ever, and it was weird then. <nckx>But this is ancient ancient times. <Noisytoot> https://web.archive.org/web/19980704181204/http://www.muraroa.demon.co.uk/ says "I'm no longer distributing 0.21, because doing so perpetuates problems with patents, which ensures that the program will never be widely used. That's a shame, because it's a useful program, and lots of people seem to like it. If you use 0.21 already, please upgrade to bzip2. I can't, unfortunately, make bzip2 be able to decompress 0.21's .bz files, since that <Noisytoot>would render the patent-avoidance exercise pointless. I know changing file formats is painful; from now on, I'll try and make any further changes in a backwards compatible way. ", but I think the patents would have expired by now <maximed>pkill9: it succeeded for me for --target=arm-linux-gnueabih (--system=x86_64-linux) <nckx>Noisytoot: Well, sure, but even bzip2 is pretty obsolete now. <nckx>My zstd-compressed kernel loads its zstd-compressed modules to read my zstd-compressed file system. 🌈 <nckx>Damnit, forgot the zstd-compressed initrd for effect. <nckx>dstolfa: It's the last word in compression plus the last word in file systems, natch. <lilyp>don't forget to double your ram with zram <nckx>Future generations wil be condemned to zzzfs and zxyzzystd <nckx>Crap, forgot my zstd+z3fold zswap. <iskarian>pkill9, for me `guix build --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf isc-dhcp' succeeded on x86_64, from commit 72297993 <vivien>The caddadr fiasco did not teach us anything <dstolfa>vivien: with zstd we can compress the as and ds in caddadadadadadaddadr <lilyp>well, the problem with zcar is always when to z <lilyp>you could cazdar for instance ***ChanServ sets mode: -b ix!*@*
<nckx>No join party all nighty. <ix>Reckon i've circumvented that for now... <ix>Weechat plugin got a little segfault happy, somehow <ix>And my shepherd service has no timeout, seems <nckx>It was glorious to behold. <ix>If it's any consolation, three other channels banned me, and apparently i was spamming xmpp too <ix>Well, spamming the network with presence stanzas <ix>My weechat was restarting every 15 mins for a few days <nckx>You managed to miss that? Impressive. <iskarian>sneek, later tell singpolyma: I've sent fixes for the two go import errors you reported <nckx>ix: You were rejoining in seconds, not minutes. <dstolfa>ix: yeah, it was usually 20 rejoins between each message here :P <nckx>But not for days AFAIK, so maybe something broke even harder after a while? <ix>Hmm. #emacs banned me on the 14th <sneek>Welcome back singpolyma, you have 1 message! <sneek>singpolyma, iskarian says: I've sent fixes for the two go import errors you reported <pkill9>iskarian: i still get that build error with 'guix time-machine --commit=72297993 -- build --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf isc-dhcp' <iskarian>okay, that's weird, I'm re-running it and it's rebuilding like 6 packages? *iskarian throws her hands up <lilyp>Does someone know a good reason why `guix pull' would do nothing, not even print a message for some odd minutes? <iskarian>Stalled network? Circular import dependency? <apteryx>pkill9: that command built isc-dhcp fine for me <rekado_>I don’t get Appimages. i’ve never found even one that would work without patching and a very long LD_LIBRARY_PATH. <dstolfa>rekado_: they're meant to try and address packaging across common distros, but have pretty obvious flaws <iskarian>pkill9, okay, I rebuilt it twice, and it's fine, so I suppose either it's your system/processor or a really indeterministic error? <lilyp>Shouldn't it print something before doing the network stuffs? <rekado_>why don’t they contain all libraries that they reference? <lilyp>"Läuft auf den meisten 64-Bit-Linux-Desktops" <pkill9>must be something with my machine then <pkill9>I'm seeing if it will build on my vps
