Sure, some of it it mindless hype, but there's something there. <jpoiret>nckx: I was advising against it mostly because having io error when writing an install image seems like a lost cause to me <nckx>I'd toss the drive, sure. Can't keep betting you'll aim your files around the hole. <jpoiret>i don't think conv=sync changes anything regarding flash wear <nckx>I was wondering if it would force a full erase (with blocks being, what, 1M nowadays?) for every 512 bytes written, which could mean that every single block is rewritten 2048 times during the dd alone.

Is that new? <nckx>jpoiret: Here, %outputs, (the % being a vaguely defined ‘this here be a systemy globally thingy’ convention). In a phase λ* you'd neatly bind it to #:key outputs, that is correct. <slyfox>placeholder was introduced in 2016 <nckx>I betrayed Nix for Guix in 2015-2016; checks out. <jpoiret>nckx: i was actually wondering if %outputs was disappearing, in c-u-f i had to patch a phase that was using it instead of the λ key <nckx>jpoiret: That is quite possible! My answer is still based on current master, I should really join the c-u-f cool kids club… <jpoiret>what seems weird to me is that primitive-load's error should be caught by the call-with-error-handling in the linux boot <florhizome[m]><nckx> "jpoiret: Here, %outputs, (the..." <- That is bc you need to use Lambda* anyways amiright <nckx>You don't strictly need to (you could use a plain λ and still refer to %outputs) but λ* is considered better style in Guix, hence encouraged. (Another ‘applies to current master’ answer; I haven't tried c-u-f yet.) <jpoiret>in fact it does catch that error, so it might not even be it <nckx>Fine. Since tomorrow's a holiday, today will be the day that I rebase my truckload of already-broken patches that already fail to boot on c-u-f, and try to boot it 😛 It's spooky. It will probably take all night. It's apt. 🎃 <nckx>M6piz7wk[m]: Been there. <nckx>With no feedback whatsoever. Races to bottoms, huzzah. <nckx>florhizome[m]: Well, do you have a "dev" output? <nckx>(outputs (list "out" "dev")) <nckx>☝ a top-level package field. <nckx>Do note that upstream Guix doesn't do ‘dev outputs’, though, so you might not even bother. <nckx>The upstream Guix way would be to install both things in my last paste to ‘out’. <nckx>Actually, that's not true, we do do ‘dev outputs’ but we call them ‘lib’, instead, and only if it leads to significant size savings compared to putting everything in :out. <nckx>Since in many packages :out would depend on :lib (i.e., /bin/footool links to /lib/libfoo anyway), it's not something we do across the board. <florhizome[m]><nckx> "The upstream Guix way would be..." <- I think i have a quick look where /gir1.0 lands else <nckx>Sounds good.

I wanted to use that before but it was flagged as unmaintained in iirc nixos <nckx>E.g., Firefox points people to non-free add-ons in its add-on shoppe or whatever it's called, GNU says that ain't cool, IceCat removes the add-on shoppe. *M6piz7wk[m] always hated the non-free addons in the shop <jpoiret>iirc you can still use the mozilla one, just that icecat will not redirect you to it <M6piz7wk[m]>I guess i can make a derivation that installs addons <nckx>IceCat itself is maintained but, as often, severely understaffed to follow a Modurn Web Browsah that like to move fast and break things just for fun. <lilyp>*ahem* it's not "fun", it's "necessity" <lilyp>we need to somehow incorporate Chromium's IdleMonitor in case people will miss that feature <lilyp>And by Chromium I actually mean the blob a certain company builds on top of it, but that's trivial details <nckx>We need to incorporate Chromium's everything because Chromium is the reference implementation of Chromiums and we're trying to write a Chromium here, people, you just don't understand. *M6piz7wk[m] notes to move all the people he pushed into maintaining firefox on icecat then *M6piz7wk[m] rather needs the sandboxed onion routing in icecat <efraim>looks like I got master merged into core-updates-frozen, just want to check a couple more things before pushing it <florhizome[m]>actually strange that ppl need to do such things like librefox that then also fail to keep up when there is at least one option supported by the fsf <lilyp>Nah, people be running their own forks <nckx>‘Running with forks: a cautionary tale about self-lobotomy and you.’ <nckx>lilyp: So Tor Browser doesn't follow upstream Firefox? <lilyp>I'm pretty sure it does in a similar manner that IceCat does <nckx>Huh. Who can even follow this nonsense without a Beautiful-Mind-style red string wall. *M6piz7wk[m] s repo requires a huge amount of processing resources and he didnt yet optimize emacs <nckx>No, there's no Electron package to run it. *M6piz7wk[m] handles it in gitpod then <raghavgururajan>nckx: Thanks to mhw, the icecat was updated to *hot* version 9x.y.z. <nckx>I know, I'm using it. ☺ mhw is heroic, and I think he has help (I don't mean to dismiss other contributors, I just don't know), but he/they are fighting against immense code churn. <nckx>It works almost perfectly on Sway here, except everything native + floating (tooltips, dropdown menus in HTML and the main menu) don't work well. <nckx>Tooltips/dropdowns flash or display at ~50% opacity and the main menu doesn't open. Yes, I should file a bug, but haven't ☺ <nckx>Because TBH it works much better than expected! <nckx>I presume you're using GNOME, raghavgururajan? *raghavgururajan tries nuking ~/.mozilla <raghavgururajan>I see the default non-removable bookmarks same as in abrowser. Yes, has trisquel bookmark. *nckx would like to open the main menu now 😛 <nckx>I didn't see any ‘non-removable’ bookmarks? Where is that? <nckx>I kept my old ~/.mozilla, maybe that's why, but it does imply they're removable. <jpoiret>nckx: the flashing tooltips/dropdowns is a sway 1.5 bug <nckx>Which is c-u. The gods, they are trying to tell me things. <jpoiret>(that version is on c-u-f because it needs newer wayland-protocols) *nckx shall soon taste the sweet dog food. <jpoiret>their news are quite interesting i've noticed <nckx>Unless $7.00 is a lot of money I'd say it is, jpoiret. <nckx>I can't decide that for you but the quality is there. <gbrlwck>i am trying to `guix pull` on a RISC-V ubuntu machine but this process hangs while building 9xnyrapxcfk7mi4id3wf7g54m8hrrdgd-python-minimal-3.9.6.drv. i count 71 zombie "[python] <defunct>" processes. https://termbin.com/j01x <gbrlwck>how can i inspect what generates the issue? should i just kill the zombies and hope for `guix pull` to finish anyways? <nckx>Killing zombies doesn't generally make a difference, since they're, well, zombies. If the parent process were waiting for them it would clean them up. <nckx>raghavgururajan: The new tab bookmark bar is empty for me. <nckx>gbrlwck: How do you know it's hung? <nckx>Can you strace the parent (or other processes in the build environment)? <nckx>I don't have a RISC-V machine is the thing… <raghavgururajan>Not in bookmark bar. You might have disabled showing of bookmarks in the tab page, at about:preferences#home <gbrlwck>nckx: yes i can :) and i just *guess* it's hung because there's no progress (and no work load on the CPUs) and it's already been running for about a wekk *nckx tries ‘guix pull --system=riscv64-linux-gnu’ on a lark. <M6piz7wk[m]>grilumops.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract <M6piz7wk[m]>How do i extract this on guix? `unzip` doesn't work for some reason <gbrlwck>nckx: not sure whether that work's already. i compiled guix by hand and am now trying to initialize root user's guix profile by `guix pull --branch=wip-riscv" *M6piz7wk[m] is pretty sure that he used `unzip` on nixos to unzip this file <nckx>raghavgururajan: ‘Shortcuts’? And are the ones you mean ‘Sponsored shortcuts’? I indeed had both disabled. <nckx>M6piz7wk[m]: What do you mean ‘doesn't work’? <nckx>Because the answer, as you might've guessed, is ‘unzip’ ☺ <nckx>And yet it works with NixOS's unzip? You sure? <raghavgururajan>you could also try typing trisquel in address bar, it'll the trisquel bookmark. You can't delete it. <nckx>The exact same file. That doesn't make sense to me. <gbrlwck>nckx: `strace -p <pid>` prints "wait4(10537, " (literally, no closing parens, no newline) <nckx>M6piz7wk[m]: So not the same file? <nckx>Then try Nix's on the exact same file. <nckx>gbrlwck: Yeah, the lack of closing ) is strace's way of saying ‘we're somewhere inside this now’. And what's PID 10537 doing? <M6piz7wk[m]>ehh that wants root perm to create the /nix dir so i assume it violates jail <nckx>Maybe, haven't tried that. <nckx>raghavgururajan: That shows only my personal recent activity. No Trisquel there or in address bar. <nckx>I simply don't think your ZIP file is intact. Nothing to do with Guix. <M6piz7wk[m]>hmm same.. maybe icecat messes with nextcloud's download? <nckx>raghavgururajan: I'm sure it would show up if I moved .mozilla out of the way, but I have a lot open now and would rather not. But it would seem there's some way to get rid of them. <nckx>You can try wgetting or curling it instead. <nckx>But I've never had IceCat do anything like that, it's extremely unlikely. <nckx>I mean, sometimes HTTP downloads just fail because computers, but it's not browser-specific. <nckx>Is it possible to share the URL? <M6piz7wk[m]>my guix config.. some parts set as proprietary to avoid people using broken code <nckx>M6piz7wk[m]: But did you get a zip file? I get HTML. <nckx>No difference with wget. <nckx>I believe you, I just can't reproduce, maybe they authorise IPs or something weird. <nckx>gbrlwck: Which branch would I need to get past ‘dynamic linker name not known for this system "riscv64-linux-gnu"’? <M6piz7wk[m]>i think i am failing at capturing the download URL from icecat <nckx>AJ9dBAo6pjojEqA: HTML document, UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines <gbrlwck>nckx: not sure if you get it to work without /building/ from branch wip-riscv <nckx>Ah, it's a file listing, never mind… <nckx>‘Download all files’, I presume? <M6piz7wk[m]>nckx: there is `Download all files` at the top right *nckx downloads all files. <M6piz7wk[m]>i guess a security feature that binds it to an IP or something <gbrlwck>so, my zombies' parents is a `guile` process (whose parent is guix-daemon) whose child is `make`. killing the parent of the zombies would abort `guix pull`? <nckx>grilumops.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract | sha1sum c1066699c1c691dc68475b7cfa19edae4bbb6985 | 23871 bytes | unzip -l fails with the EOCD error. <nckx>Now I'll try with Firefox to just exonerate IceCat from being blamed. <florhizome[m]>update on gala build: fails now at plank testing. Since basically all libs used by plank are deprecated no wonder^^ curiously I tried #:tests #f already and it still does it. <nckx>Same error, because obviously. *M6piz7wk[m] asked in nextcloud suspecting nextcloud bug <nckx>With wget: 6945 bytes. The incredible shrinking Zip, one night only. <nckx>Interestingly(?), curl at least returns the same as wget: 6945 <nckx>Run again, it returns 5164. <nckx>‘Isn't she amazing, ladies & gentlemen?’ <nckx>Always smaller. This is becoming awfully coincidental. <M6piz7wk[m]>maybe it's just some kind of Pied Piper levels of incredible self-replicating compression that we just didn't get an update to work with yet <nckx>I'm not familiar with what binwalk is supposed to do, but I guess it just looks for file magic? <nckx>M6piz7wk[m]: Must be. Probably because it's in fekkin' Rust. <efraim>rekado: python-pytest-asyncio is bad news. Just got python-ipykernel to build <M6piz7wk[m]>nckx: yep just seems to be looking at hex definitions and interprets them <nckx>Thanks, I'm going to package it for Guix if reasonably possible. <nckx>I wrote something hacky like this using file + dd once, wish I'd known something sane existed ☺ <M6piz7wk[m]>allegedly should have `921869 0x4B1A0D End of Zip archive, footer length: 22` to work <M6piz7wk[m]>ye me too would save me a lot of time making makeshift bios for my GPUs <nckx>Yeah, ZIP is ‘weird’ in that it collects the index at the end of the file (because obviously you're archiving to floppies, and the archiver can't know what's coming, or something). <nckx>You can truncate that to ZIP is weird. <nckx>There isn't even a authoritative spec, just ‘do what PKZIP does I guess’. <nckx>…it's already packaged in Guix as python-binwalk, let's rename that little fellow to binwalk. *M6piz7wk[m] had to do `steam-run ./Appimage` on NixOS *M6piz7wk[m] is trying to get nextcloud client to sync the dir on his system <nckx>That might work. There's no official way. <nckx>My attempt to pull c-u-f: (exception unbound-variable (value #f) (value "Unbound variable: ~S") (value (icu4c-69)) (value #f) <vivien>nckx, that’s from nonguix, right? <podiki[m]>nckx: there is a core-updates branch on nonguix too <nckx>Ah, that would make sense. I added it to test Firefox and am already being punished by the freedom gods. Thanks vivien. <nckx>Nah, I'll just remove it but keep FF in my profile. Thanks! <nckx>We've had similar problems the past few weeks. The root cause wasn't found AFAIK. I hope this isn't how it begins again. <nckx>Literally just now‘guix pull: error: Git error: unexpected http status code: 502‘ <podiki[m]>(the CI has seemed to stopped liking c-u-f-batched-changes again and hasn't built) <jpoiret>has anyone ever tried/looked into running shepherd as the early userspace init process? <nckx>M6piz7wk[m]: You'll have to ask somewhere else, not on an official Guix (=GNU) channel. Thanks for understanding. <M6piz7wk[m]>Why is nextcloud not packaged anyway? Does it have any freedom issues or just needs to be defined into a package? <M6piz7wk[m]>since it seems to use non-free JS on the login and stuff <gabr000>in guix, the packages installed during installation are avaible for all users right? <vivien>gabr000, are you using guix system, or another distribution? <gabr000>during installation i mean during os install <vivien>Did you boot into a guix system installer, or did you install the guix program from another distribution? <gabr000>guix installer, the intire OS i mean <vivien>OK, so how did you install packages within the guix installer? <vivien>Normally the installer does not ask you to install packages, I’m confused. <gabr000>i ask that because i was having trouble with emacs-exwm installed during boot installation (i marked the boxes of emacs-exwm) <vivien>OK, so each user should be able to run EXWM <gabr000>and for that packages i couldnt install emacs-guix <gabr000>i needed install emacs again for the user <vivien>Since EXWM is just emacs, the emacs binary is that of the system (the same for all users), and I think you need to extend that to all your emacs packages. The installer should have written a file named /etc/config.scm, that details the system configuration. You should see an emacs entry in the packages list, and if you put all the other emacs- packages in the same place, you will be able to use them. <vivien>I don’t have an EXWM system anymore, so I’m telling this from what I remember. <nckx>Where does Cuirass store evaluation logs? <nckx>‘guix build: error: gcry_md_hash_buffer: Function not implemented‘ <nckx>(‘guix build: warning: failed to load '(gnu packages browser-extensions)': Function not implemented‘) <nckx>I might back away from the c-u-f. <lilyp>nckx: Roll back and try to repair? <lilyp>I think civodul announced doing something spooky in IRC <nckx>Ah, this is the Halloween surprise? <rekado>efraim: did you have a look at PurpleSym’s patches for jupyter on the master branch? <gabr000>vivien: so, for every package in emacs i would've to install it via config.scm? <rekado>nckx: I’ve had the same problem since about a week or so. <rekado>only in my worktree, not in a separate checkout. <rekado>I have no idea what’s going on there <florhizome[m]>> * <@6piz7wk:tchncs.de> is trying to get nextcloud client to sync the dir on his system <florhizome[m]>I am discovering davfs2 and gvfs for such things, Nextcloud client has been very dissatisfying. but for the moment I haven’t automated it. <mekeor[m]>i'm using syncthing for syncing things in my local home network <florhizome[m]>Hope I’ll be able to write a service to automount my Nextcloud on login and rsync in the bg soon... <attila_lendvai>is there some machinery to check the signature of an archive that gets downloaded by (origin (method url-fetch) ...)? i'm working on a binary downloader package (to be inlucded somewhere else), and for now i'm invoking gpg in the build phase on a keyring assembled from a text constant. but it's... not beautiful. <attila_lendvai>or authentication completely relies on the content hash? the upside of checking the gpg signature is that when the package is upgraded, then only the version needs to be incremented. no need to manually check the signature and the content hash. <vivien>attila_lendvai, I’m sure it would be useful for source code distributions too. <vivien>But, if the signature matches, without knowing the hash, how do you know it’s not a downgrade? <vivien>(how do you check that the thing you downloaded is of the same version as what you defined in the module) <attila_lendvai>vivien, i wouldn't get rid of the content hash. i think the only benefit of the source signature check is that it's easier to update the package to a new version: just edit the version, fire the build, replace the hash with the new one from the error message. no need to manually check the signature. <vivien>attila_lendvai, so I didn’t understand the purpose of checking the signature. <gbrlwck>in which package can i find `riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc`? <fnstudio>hi, sorry, following up on a previous question earlier today, i don't seem to have readline working within my bc <attila_lendvai>vivien, i'm not sure about it either. i think the content hash does everything the signature does. and i don't readily see an attack vector that is closed by the signature check, but not the content hash. yet, for some reason it *feels* useful. <fnstudio>do you think that hints at some problem with my guix setup? <vivien>attila_lendvai, maybe you could make a gpg importer: you would pass it the URL for the downloaded thing, the URL for the signature (it could heuristically find it IMO) and it would tell you the hash after checking it. <attila_lendvai>vivien, and where would the key itself come from? the invoking user's ~/.gnupg keyring? <vivien>attila_lendvai, yes, but first it would try to refresh the key from a key server <attila_lendvai>vivien, am i right to assume that the key refresh operation is safe for man in the middle attacks? <vivien>attila_lendvai, not really, if someone makes you download an old version of a revoked key, you might validate the signature. <attila_lendvai>i.e. if the initial import was done well, then key refresh is safe because key updates are self-signed. <florhizome[m]>So gala wants libmutter 6-9 , but guix only has Mutter 3.34 which ships with libmutter 5 :D <vivien>florhizome[m], on core-updates-frozen, mutter is version 40.5, and it will be merged into master Really Really Really Soon <florhizome[m]>thoughts and prayers to all ppls doing gods work on c-u-f ;) <vivien>I hope they manage to do it and not drown under the amount of merges to do between master and the various core-updates :( <florhizome[m]>vivien: yeah I suspected that. it just looked very bleak “can’t find libmutter 6. ...;7...;8....;9” <florhizome[m]>they seem to have put in a lot of work between gtk 3.34 and 40 <florhizome[m]>At this point I am v curious to reading the blogpost after the merge <rekado>bah, I have no idea how to get these Honeycomb LX2 boards to work <bdju>is qtcreator not packaged? I tried a few search terms and didn't see it *nckx seconds florhizome[m]'s recommendation of davfs2, was a life-saver to rescue forgotten files from a ‘cloud’ thing that went tits-up. <nckx>rekado: Thanks for the confirmation that it's not (just) a me-thing. <podiki[m]>bdju: I don't think it is, but there is qmake (e.g. qt build system) which I think should be what you need for building things made with qtcreator? <bdju>podiki[m]: a friend told me to install qtcreator, not sure what I was gonna do with it. <jpoiret>qtcreator is the Qt IDE, it has tools to create UIs with drag n drop among others <bdju>he later sent a screenshot of a sort of UI mockup <rekado>nckx: oh, you got one of these boards too? <attila_lendvai>should packages generally avoid specifying -j for make? and rely on the builder being parallel? i'm packaging smplayer, and it's overwhelming my laptop's 16GB when -j (=8) <nckx>rekado: Ha, no! Sorry for the confusion, I was talking about your confirmation of the gcry_md_hash_buffer issue. <nckx>jpoiret: It used to work. I didn't check whether it still is. <nckx>jpoiret: Yeah, works fine: “Using hardware decoding (vaapi).” (mpv) <nckx>Now… how did I get there. <jpoiret>it's not working for me, but c-u-f shenanigans might be there as well <jpoiret>just reconfigured with intel-vaapi-driver and libva in the system profile, will try again… I'm getting "wl_drm@6: error 0: authenticate failed" for now on sway and weston <nckx>jpoiret: intel-vaapi-driver is the answer. Is LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH set? <nckx>jpoiret: You can install libva-utils and run vainfo to check your configuration. <jpoiret>yes, that's the error I get when running vainfo on sway or weston <jpoiret>on i3, no problem to be found, so not an env error <jpoiret>(that env variable is set properly apparently) <nckx>Then maybe it is a new ‘feature’ :-/ <jpoiret>hmmm, I guess so. maybe the newer wayland-protocols/sway <nckx>Something for me to look forward to, I guess. <attila_lendvai>if i want to specify a make target in the build phase, then my best bet is (replace 'build (lambda ...)...) and copy-paste the (apply invoke "make" ...) from build/gnu-build-system.scm? <attila_lendvai>note that #:make-flags doesn't work because it's passed to make install, etc <nckx>attila_lendvai: make foo && make foo install should work fine in practice? <nckx>But yes, if you want to ‘properly’ run make foo && make install, replacing 'build is the way to go for most build systems without a #:build-target <nckx>I can't promise that, but I don't see an issue myself. <nckx>Make sure to keep the default #f (none), not "all", because that's almost certain to trigger some bugs somewhere even if it shouldn't. <attila_lendvai>make-flags vs. build-target sounds strange, but i get that build-target is the standard among other builders <attila_lendvai>oh, wait! adding #:build-target means rebuilding the world, right? <jpoiret>alright, first step: ask on OFTC's #wayland for hints about this error message, since there are too many things involved to just grep for error *attila_lendvai is resorting to a snippet <nckx>attila_lendvai: Yes. And agreed: #:make-target is better. It's #:test-target after all, although I've written #:check? and #:check-target after a holiday… Consistency is my crutch. <attila_lendvai>nckx, now that i think about it a bit more... it's the name of the target that should be used in the build phase, so build-target is probably a better name than make-target. after all, `make test` is a make target, too. <attila_lendvai>hrm... or maybe not. but it rebuilds the whole world, so i'll leave it alone on this laptop anyway... :) <nckx>attila_lendvai: Hehe, I think we're trying too hard to divine hidden logic where there is none (not that it matters :) <nckx>#:build-target makes it clear that, unlike #:make-flags, it applies only to build. Oh whatever. If you do submit this patch, choose whatever you prefer! <attila_lendvai>nckx, i think it actually matters a lot, because good names are crucial for an efficient teamwork (where me two weeks later is another team member)... my dismissive attitude is because i'm new to guix, and i don't want to mess with world rebuilding changes just yet. <nckx>We agree on naming things. <lilyp>But don't forget to invalidate your caches :P <nckx>rm is the great invalidator. <drakonis>i hear there's discussion on the mailing list about a rfc process <drakonis>well, the discussion on the mailing list seems to be pretty relaxed so far <attila_lendvai>i'm seeing this "WARNING: Could not find qmake spec 'default'" from lrelease (it's a qt thingy to compile language files). there's nothing on the web about this (besides a heisenbug), so i think this may be a guix packaging issue of qttools <drakonis>a rfc process can be good when it is done correctly and isnt used like a cudgel *M6piz7wk[m] solved his problems with flatpak to get nextcloud and vscodium <M6piz7wk[m]>is either of vscodium or nextcloud against freedom to not be mergable in guix? <drakonis>when it isn't to discuss something and bikeshed a topic for years that will be entirely disregarded <drakonis>M6piz7wk[m]: they're both fine license wise <nckx>I don't think so but I'm not a user of or familiar with either. <nckx>VScodium is just a bunch of scripts that run on Electron, which is a nightmare to package for $reasons drakonis just types, and NC being a Web thing is probably just as bad. <M6piz7wk[m]>also was looking at nextcloud.. it seems that the libreJS is failing because PHP is using self-defined JS? <nckx>You can disable LibreJS, you won't be shunned. <nckx>It's so buggy/flawed I consider it counterproductive to its mission. At best it's a tool for power users. <jpoiret>any reason --with-latest= package transformation is downloading the same tarballs multiple times? <M6piz7wk[m]>btw. will be i murdered if i submit a packaging request for a package about which i didn't know have freedom issues btw? would be good for reference in the worst case.. <drakonis>packaging nextcloud doesnt seem like a big problem though <drakonis>the worst that can happen is a no and an explanation why <nckx>M6piz7wk[m]: If anyone murders you there will be stern talkings-to to avenge your death. *M6piz7wk[m] is used to freaks at NixOS upstream so he appreciates non-hostile environment for development <jpoiret>always fun to see that a guix build pulls in the whole texlive distribution <nckx>I'm sure the ‘freaks’ have their reasons too. <drakonis>M6piz7wk[m]: i wouldn't say freaks but there's a lot of people who're horrible at dealing with others <drakonis>it is currently undergoing the same problems debian has, where every maintainer is the master of their own fiefdom <nckx>You'll be frustrated by our comparative lack of organisation and slow review speed soon enough. I hope we can still be friends. <drakonis>the lack of organization is certainly a positive point, in a way. <jgart>Might be cool to write one in guile... <drakonis>since folks can simply send patches to improve what they want instead of dealing with layers of bureaucracy <M6piz7wk[m]>i don't mind GNU's way of maintainance tbh O.o assuming that being same here <drakonis>plus it is always easy to sidestep the process by running your own channel while you wait <drakonis>conversely, doing that in the nix side is a recipe for pain ***stikonas_ is now known as stikonas
<drakonis>running a repository on the side with nix has always been a huge pain for me <singpolyma>guix you don't even need a channel, just an scm file <drakonis>also support for the upcoming intel discrete gpus <nckx>When I ‘left’ Nix it wasn't more hierarchical than Guix now is (‘.maintainers’ really weren't owners). From your gripes I gather that's very much changed. <jgart>I'm thinking like an "awesome guix channels" list really <jgart>once there is enough people running their own guix channels <drakonis>just consolidate the major channels into nonguix idk <nckx>drakonis: ntfs3? NTFS was always native, just literally nobody used it. Zero peeps. (I know you know, I just find it fun to point out for some reason.) <jgart>so we can easily search across guix channels to see what is not in upstream that is provided by the community of guix channels <drakonis>the ntfs implementation already in the kernel is hot garbage though <nckx>Do they still make you mount with -t ntfs3 instead of -t ntfs? *M6piz7wk[m] still didn't figured out how to get non-free packages on his guix and is afraid to ask <nckx>I hope so. I patched it out in my kernel because I have strong feelings about mount types. This tells you much about me. <singpolyma>if you mount without -t will it pick the new one? That's all I ever do and I forgot the ETFs driver was technically fuse because it never mattered <nckx>M6piz7wk[m]: I'm sure you lurk in a channel where they can help you. Please, don't be ‘afraid’, but nor is abiding by friendly rules a sign of fear or weakness. <nckx>Mount your ETFs under Linux for faster trading. <M6piz7wk[m]>i prefer the term "diplomatical" as going back to nix is how i imagine hell is :p <singpolyma>M6piz7wk[m]: I'm sure I can find you somewhere worse ;) <nckx>singpolyma: Good question. I never configured ntfs-3g (when I still had it installed) to work without explicit ‘mount.ntfs-3g’; it didn't occur to me that this was supported on Guix System. <nckx>I've used NTFS3 since it was in -pf and have been very haps. <M6piz7wk[m]>singpolyma: i've already been to exherbo, gentoo, arch, debian, ubuntu, fedora, openSUSE, bedrock and the worst among worst endlessOS so i doubt it :p *nckx looks up what endlessOS is again… <rekado>there seem to be problems with either the board’s SATA interface or the SSD that I bought. <nckx>You mentioned time-outs. At what level? <M6piz7wk[m]>> * <@nckx:libera.chat> looks up what endlessOS is again… <M6piz7wk[m]>flatpak madness on ostree that needs like 300GB worth of storage just to work <nckx>(And: ugh.

Guix System only needs like 2/3rds of that. <drakonis>the thing about flatpak is that it doesnt eat that much space <nckx>I'm just a bit surprised someone like you installed EndlessOS if it's what I'm looking at, M6piz7wk[m]. <M6piz7wk[m]>also "endless" in "endlessOS" refers to storage and processing resource management :p since the more you use the exponentially more it needs :p <nckx>I would not expect a positive user experience to come from that, no. <M6piz7wk[m]>nckx: i didn't i was helping people to get rid of ti and it was hell <M6piz7wk[m]>felt bad for them since one else had the sanity to deal with their problem <M6piz7wk[m]>and you can't even like chroot and easily reinstall that thing <nckx>It's obviously aimed at folks who don't know what a chroot is or how you're supposed to cook it, but yeah, that means it's not allowed to break or show scary errors. That's kind of the deal. Pity. <rekado>nckx: I tried booting Ubuntu, and Linux tells me that there are I/O errors. Even before that, though, when I boot the default u-boot image and run “scsi reset” it sometimes works and sometimes just times out. <mekeor[m]>jgart: why would you transpile purescript to guile/guix? :D <M6piz7wk[m]>it's like early-alpha at beast in terms of "not allowed to break" last time i checked it <rekado>I also note that the thing gets pretty hot <nckx>The honeymoon period is supposed to be longer than this. <nckx>You say it, I thought there were more? <rekado>worse: all three boards seem to behave in exactly the same way <nckx>You said you supplied the SSD IIRC? Is there a ‘supported’ model? <nckx>I'm not really adding anything you couldn't think of yourself. I just feel bad. <M6piz7wk[m]>how do i install a package in the environment without reconfiguring? like `nix-env -iA nixos.package` ? <drakonis>info guix for reading them on the terminal <M6piz7wk[m]>i am looking at them but didn't know what to look for x.x <ajarara>there's got to be a phrase for 'so new I don't even know what to consult' <ajarara>experienced it every time I onboard at a new job <ajarara>I guess. Something I'd tell a coworker, so more polite :)
