<brendyn>the deblob check script certainly takes a long time, just sayin' <brendyn>weird. when guix tries to download a url, i get 404. when i download it manually with wget it works <brendyn>anyone else get this weirdness when exiting a guix shell? : guix shell: error: /gnu/store/d99ykvj3axzzidygsmdmzxah4lvxd6hw-bash-5.1.8/bin/bash: command not found <nckx>What's even weirder is that ‘guix download ls-lR.bz2’ also works. <KarlJoad`>Is there a way to send a channel specificationin a guix deploy definition? <KarlJoad`>I have a channel defined on my local machine, but want the remote server to also have that channel available to it. Does the normal operating-system record allow such a thing to be shared? <PotentialUser-78>Any idea why my fresh install gives a grub prompt before the normal grub screen? <PotentialUser-78>Specifically, it says "GRUB C" where "C" is actually the fancy (spanish?) C with a squigly that makes a "k" sound. <PotentialUser-78>I can boot normally if I input a key, but the point is that it should boot without interaction <PotentialUser-78>I suspect it may be because I adapted a config that used full-disk encryption, so it "thinks" it should be prompting me for a password or something <luchadoritos>Hello all! I've been having a rough time getting screen sharing on Wayland to work. I have a suspicion that it's because pipewire is using version 0.2.7 (calling $pipewire --version) but nothing in my profile uses that version, I do not know why it's even installed. <luchadoritos>In my manifest I specifically install pipewore-0.3 and using Guix graph (reverse) I see that Weston and Telegram desktop use the old version of pipewire. Neither of those are in my manifest. <PotentialUser-78>luchadoritos: try using which -a to see where those are comming from. e.g. system install, guix-home, guix-profile, etc. <PotentialUser-78>if you use guix package -m, then they shouldn't be comming from your guix-profile <luchadoritos>Thank you for responding! Running which -a pipewire gives me $USER/.guix-home/profile/bin/pipewire. <luchadoritos>This gives me some insight I'll see my home declaration again <brendyn>If weston is updated to version 10 then it can use pipewire 0.3 <luchadoritos>I use Sway for my config looking at sway package declaration in wm.scm and in Guix graph I do not find Weston. <luchadoritos>Trying to use guix gc -D says that pipewire-0.2.7 is alive. I hope it doesn't try to eat me lol <PotentialUser-78>alright, I'm back and still get a grub prompt before the grub screen, preventing remote reboot. I reconfigured ensuring that mapped-devices is an empty list. <PotentialUser-78>luchadoritos: have you tried home reconfigure setting packages to an empty list? I suggest using manifests XOR guix home for package installs, not both. <luchadoritos>PotentialUser-78: I do not use Guix home packages because when you delete a package from guix home I noticed it doesn't actually remove it from the current profile. Thank you for your insight <luchadoritos>I do not have it explicitly set as empty list though. I can do that. I thought default was empty list. ***Lightsword_ is now known as Lightsword
<luchadoritos>I think I got the right version. The shepherd service I was using was installing a different version of pipewire. I now have the right version but I still don't have screen sharing. I'm getting closer though, less errors in my TTY! Thank you everyone. ***dgcampea-2 is now known as dgcampea

<KarlJoad`>Is it possible to provide a channel specification inside of a file that provides an operating-system record for building, so the generated system uses that channel? <KarlJoad`>I want to embed a channel definition into the machine's configuration for Cuirass. Then use guix deploy to deploy the machine definition to the machine, with the channel already specified for Cuirass. <jpoiret>luchadoritos: are you using a wlroots-based compositor? <jpoiret>i'm not sure screen sharing works in weston <sneek>Welcome back rekado, you have 3 messages! <sneek>rekado, ngz says: why doesn't texlive importer use catalogue-version field, when available, to set the version of a package? <sneek>rekado, apteryx says: haha! to reproduce our GRUB problem without any downtime on Berlin: sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -hdd /dev/sda -snapshot -nographic -m 2G <sneek>rekado, ngz says: If you look at 280097b71f01608795fbf38ac6d87fd61fe16798, it seems there's a bug in `simple-texlive-package', as non-generated files should be handled in locations argument, but aren't. <rekado>I’m using “guix environment --pure guix” with a fresh Guix on a feature branch, ./bootstrap && ./configure … && make clean-go && make -j <rekado>but then when I use “./pre-inst-env guix build foo” it complains <rekado>;;; WARNING: loading compiled file /home/rekado/dev/gx/branches/wip-r/guix/ui.go failed: <rekado>;;; In procedure load-thunk-from-memory: incompatible bytecode version ***user___ is now known as wonko-the-sane

<phf-1>Hello Guix! I run Guix on a foreign distro (Debian11) and `which ls' returns `/home/phf/.guix-profile/bin/ls' even if coreutils is not in the profile. I expected `/usr/bin/ls', why is that ? <rekado>phf-1: perhaps you have a package that propagates coreutils? You can inspect the “manifest” file, which shows you what ends up in the profile and why. <phf-1>rekado, ok thank you. I search in the doc how to << inspect the “manifest” file >>. <rekado>phf-1: visit the ~/.guix-profile/manifest with an editor <phf-1>rekado, Ho... I see! Much better! I did not find this mentioned in the doc searching for "manifest" in guix.html <civodul>mothacehe, apteryx: hi! i've just reenabled armhf-linux for "master" on ci.guix <civodul>turns out the Guile test failure was non-deterministic... <mothacehe>hey civodul, nice only for the master specification? <civodul>mothacehe: yes, in a effort to stabilize things towards the release <mothacehe>terribly busy at work sadly, otherwise fine :) <mothacehe>maybe we should also activate armhf for the "guix" specification? <civodul>mothacehe: arf, i got the impression you were doing embedded stuff lately :-) <civodul>i've now enabled armhf-linux for the "guix" spec as well <attila_lendvai>hi civodul, let me know if there's anything i can do to help/ease the merging of the shepherd patches (#:rlimits and the shepherd-for-guix patch) <civodul>attila_lendvai: hi! i'm sorry, i haven't taken the time to review these yet after the initial discussion <attila_lendvai>my server (an older laptop) is running with them, and i haven't noticed anything unexpected <KarlJoad`>Is it possible to provide a channel specification along with an operating-system record for building, so the generated system has that channel available? I want to add a channel definition into the machine's configuration for Cuirass and then guix deploy the definition to the machine, with the channel already specified for Cuirass. <mothacehe>KarlJoad`: i don't think it is possible to override the default set of channels via the operating-system record yet <mothacehe>i get that it might me handy to have by default guix pull operate on a different %default-channels list, but i don't get the link with Cuirass here <KarlJoad`>Darn... I have a personal channel I want to build with Cuirass. I am specifying the Cuirass specification in the same file as I am writing the operating-system record. <KarlJoad`>Something like `(define %cuirass-specification #~(list ...)) (cuirass-configuration (specifications %cuirass-specification))` <KarlJoad`>From your article, there is no way to configure the Cuirass specification channel list from a file. You must manually do it? <attila_lendvai>mothacehe, thanks for writing that up! i didn't understand this sidenote, though: "and even simplify it by running Cuirass directly on your main machine". isn't it run on your main desktop? <KarlJoad`>Or rather, we cannot use guix deploy for this, but we can specify it in a file, but the file must be built on the CI machine, which must also have the channel manually added to the CI machine's channel list? <mothacehe>KarlJoad`: specifications needs to be a gexp for now, you would like to be able to point to a local file instead? <mothacehe>attila_lendvai: yw, i meant have cuirass directly running on the laptop instead of having cuirass running on a server and publishing substitutes with "guix publish" <attila_lendvai>mothacehe, oh, ok. so cuirass is the substitute server, and guix publish is the operation to upload a built artifact to it, right? and it can be done either by the guix build daemon, or by invoking `guix publish`? <KarlJoad`>mothacehe: Not necessarily a local file. I want to be able to specify channels to build that may not already be added on the remote machine. I want to add the channels to the machine's definition, then be able to `guix deploy` it over to the remote machine. The Cuirass specification can then use the channel provided in the machine's definition. <attila_lendvai>mothacehe, i also welcome if you extend the post, and point me to it to re-read it again <mothacehe>attila_lendvai: i do not plan to extend the post but if you have specific issues i'd be glad to help <attila_lendvai>mothacehe, thanks, noted (including the links)! maybe i'll set this up in the future. <apteryx>civodul: re armhf-linux great, thank you! <civodul>hi iskam! there are known issues accessing guix.gnu.org from Russia lately, perhaps that's related? <civodul>rekado, apteryx: can i restart hydra-guix-101? its childhurd service fails to start and i'm clueless <iskam>guix.gnu.org isn't in the repository of sites blocked in russia though <iskam>At least as far as I could tell... <civodul>we don't know why guix.gnu.org is inaccessible from Russia and haven't yet been able to set up a mirror of the web site <iskam>In the forum it says theres a lot of port scanners here <civodul>right, so that could be a reason, but we can't tell for sure <civodul>that may sound like a desperate move... and it kind of is a desperate move <civodul>in other news, berlin still has a short and now deprecated .onion address <civodul>that name was never really publicized i think, so we should be able to generate a new one <phf-1>Dear Guix, how to get auto-completion for `git' for example? <apteryx>hmm, we're getting quite a few 'guix pull' related bug (networking-related?) reports, e.g. #54278 <civodul>yeah, i noticed and this is pretty annoying <apteryx>it's nice to know that it fails often, but the output doesn't provide much of a clue as to what went wrong <civodul>yeah, i looked at the backtrace that some reported and it's unhelpful <civodul>looks as though the daemon had hung up or something <apteryx>I'm guessing most issues happen when pulling from 1.3.0 though <apteryx>at least in the bug I pointed above the host version is reported as 1.3.0 <sneek>wonko-the-sane, you have 1 message! <sneek>wonko-the-sane, nckx says: Maybe, if you mean correctly! Like with ‘guix build -f’, a file evaluates to whichever came last (if you write the world's coolest operating-system definition followed by ‘2’, the file will evaluate to 2, and you'll get an error). <maximed>If I guess correctly, that makes Tor Browser automatically redirect to the onion, making the onion address a little more discoverable <apteryx>civodul: as long as you don't reconfigure/reboot berlin itself, it should be OK I think <civodul>maximed: yes, we should do that, but the nginx config is kinda hairy <civodul>would you like to give it a try? :-) <gnucode>I wonder how hard it would be to package veloren for guix. It's a rust based (so probably hard) minecraft like exploratory world/game. <gnucode>I personally am not a gamer, but I think FOSS gaming is pretty cool and that seems like a good example of one. <Guest2948>Hi, in which languages can we use the gnu guix system? <lfam>OpenSSL update patches sent <jonsger>is spam in HTTP requests on web servers a new thing? <nckx>I've seen a few skids claim ‘credit’ for trying to GET /wp-login.php.

<atka>hi quix, I'm testing a server configuration and I'm not quite clear on how to set up the ssh keys. I have a test server which I currently have password based ssh access, I have my laptop which I'm sshing from, and I have generated my test key on said laptop (id_ed25519_test.pub). I'd like to have my keys in the config so they are "set up" already when config is deployed. <nckx>jgart: What's the reason for python- packages in check.scm rather than python-check.scm? I know you're not the first to put one there, but the reasoning is not clear to me. <atka>this line: `(("janedoe" ,(local-file "janedoe_rsa.pub")), seems like the .pub key would need to be on the server already? <nckx>atka: Hi! What's not clear? <nckx>Yes, the public key needs to be on the server. <nckx>It has to know which key to allow. <atka>ok, where should it be placed then? not using traditional ssh-copy-id correct? Is it possible to have the key in the config.scm for the server? say I want to install a server remotely and on reboot automatically have password access disable and only allow the key from the config? <nckx>I've never used ssh-copy-id on traditional distroes, always scp. On Guix Systems I put my pubkeys in /etc/guix, together with my system.scm and its dependencies. <nckx>There is no right place. <nckx>It's possible to have the key in the configuration file in that you could, ehm, programatically write it to a temporary file and then pass that file's name to authorized-keys… <atka>ok, oh my server I've been using ~/.config/guix/systems/server.scm, if I put my tesp.pub key in there it would be found? <nckx>…plain-file, that's the one. <nckx>I'm not sure what the semantics of (local-file "./relative-name") are. You'll just have to test. <nckx>Whether you use local-file or plain-file, the effect is the same, your server will boot with the keys authorised. <atka>yeah I don't know scheme well, so I was/am confused how it deduces the path to the key from ,(local-file) <nckx>(authorized-keys `(("nckx" ,(local-file "id_ed25519.pub")))) ; is on one of my machines, so it works. <nckx>Where the key is in the same directory as the system.scm. <atka>nckx: thanks for the help, I will experiment with it, part of the fun :) <nckx>Good luck! Just FYI local-file/plain-file are very much Guix things (related to G-expressions), not general Guile procedures. <atka>ok, thanks for info, I will play around with both and see what works best for my use case. *the_tubular Me when I guix pull today and see 190 new commits *the_tubular realizing they are all R packages
