<jab>littlebobeep: of course. guix-devel is a fun place to read. :) <tribals>Still didn't get the point: do i need to run `guix shell` in order to be able to run `./pre-inst-env`? ^_^ <tschilptschilp23>or is the proper way just to comment it out, when I want to make sure to browse the definitions of my installation? ***rekado_ is now known as rekado
<jab>tschilptschilp23: I know that I have tried to set up the perfect setup before....I could not quite get it to work either. <jab>I am having issues just with geiser proper.

<atka>ok, I think I know what happened, it has to do with the btrfs subvolumes for home directories <atka>so what happened was that I created the home directories as btrfs subvolumes and naturally they were owned by root, I didn't specify (home-directory "/home/foobar") in my config. during install the correct directories were used but the permissions were not set and root remained the owner. should this be considered a bug? do I just need to remember to apply the correct permissions before I run guix <atka>system init or should the config handle permissions for directories that already exist? <jackhill>atka: I've run into the same thing. Easy enough to fix up afterwards (copy the files from /etc/skel/ and chown), but I agree with you that it shouldn't be nessisary. <jackhill>I didn't file a request/report thought becasue I wasn't sure what the right behaviour should be. I think ideally Guix could be told to create the subvoulumes in the system config <atka>it would be handy to have filesystem/subvolume creation but probably a bit of an undertaking, I think at least if a home folder already exists the correct owner should be set by guix system init because what is the point of a home folder you don't have ownership of. <atka>does each user need to hash guix after their first guix pull on a multi user system? <littlebobeep>WARNING: IceCat 91 has not yet been released by the upstream IceCat project. <littlebobeep>This is a preview release, and does not currently meet the privacy-respecting <littlebobeep>standards of the IceCat project.")

Since a while I'm trying to work on guixSD. Heve no knowledge of guile really. But it is running. Sort of. My store is getting filled with every reconfigure and guix gc does not seem to work properly. There is plenty of packages which are beeing left. Also invoking sudo -i guix gc does not remove the profiles. I can still see them in the <Guest66>grub menu. Root is lvm. Currently 222 packages and 55G! What am I doing wrong? <jpoiret>Guest66: you need to remove the previous generations before they can be gc'd <jpoiret>otherwise the rollback feature of Guix would be rendered useless by a random gc <jpoiret>you can see guix system generations with `sudo guix system list-generations`, guix package generations with `guix package --list-generations`, and guix pull generations with `guix pull --list-generations` <Guest66>jpoiret Thanks. What is the command? <jpoiret>you can delete them with delete-generations instead of list-generations, see the option's description in the manual <jpoiret>once that's done, `guix gc` will happily get rid of unused store paths for you <jpoiret>no need to sudo it, sudo is only needed for `guix system` commands <Guest66>jpoiret I'm reading it all in between but it's a huge library <jpoiret>(you'll need it to delete system generations) <jpoiret>more generally, you can use `guix gc --list-roots` to list all the things that are preventing store paths removal <Guest66>jpoiret I did: sudo -i guix package --delete-generations (also as user) & guix gc. It did remove some (11G) of the packages. 40G is left. Now, again, guix system reconfigure install these packages back. <gnoo>perhaps there was an update of those packages? <gnoo>if you don't want it at all, remove it from the config.scm <gnoo>you should install very few things globally (i.e. in /etc/config.scm) and install most of your packages as normal user <Lumine>I remember when I started first using Guix, I had 120 packages declared in config.scm <Guest66>Lumine That's where I put all my packages now. <Guest66>Lumine I'm trying to avoid potential problems with the permissions <jpoiret>`sudo guix system delete-generations` rather? <jpoiret>if all your packages are in your system config, that's where the big generations should be <Guest66>jpoiret Thanks. Links are gone. x 117 <Guest66>I did paste my packages declaration. Can someone point out what should not be globally declared, please <jpoiret>first thing, why would you have so many libs explicitely installed? <gnoo>Guest66: you don't need to install grub-efi maybe even smartmontools ... <gnoo>only install the ones you will need for every user in the system <Guest66>Yes, some I did just to try to sort problems I encountered. When for example building gnunet from git. <jpoiret>i see glibc, readline libcap libtool, libusb <Guest66>jpoiret Yes. As I did not know how to build it otherwise <Guest66>This worked together wit definition of gnunet git package in the config.scm <gnoo>Guest66: maybe install alsa-utils, sway, alacritty ungoogled-chromium/wayland, emacs <jpoiret>if it's about compiling a newer version, it can be achieved easily using package transformations <gnoo>maybe even wl-clipboard, dment, openssh, rsync, file and lynx <gnoo>Guest66: if you want to build something, you'll use guix shell -D <packagename> <extra packages> <gnoo>yt-dlp should probably be installed per-user since it's to be updated frequently <Lumine>I have less than 10 packages in config and the rest is managed by home, and whatever development packages I need, I use shell environment <jpoiret>well, yes, you can try it right now with `guix build --with-latest=gnunet gnunet` <jpoiret>(no warranty, it needs to be able to autofetch the newest sources. If not, you'd have to update it manually but that's not that hard as well) <gnoo>Guest66: the `guix shell' command will temporarily "install" the packages so it won't stick around for long <jpoiret>same for tomb, password-store, protonvpn-gui <jpoiret>i mean, that's just my opinion too, but those are not "system" packages, they're specific to your user <gnoo>Guest66: as a rule of thumb, only install essential packages system-wide (i.e. in config.scm) and the ones you use regularly with `guix install' (no sudo needed) and then development packages with `guix shell -D' <Guest66>Yes, my config is a mix of info I have found around. You don't want to see it. :') <Guest66>Oh yes. The reason I got here was gnunet in first place. Had to make some execs suid. But now I use simple-service to configure it so I don't need them in the config.scm. Fine <Guest66>jpoiret Thanks a lot. guix gc: freed 23,258.56600 MiBs <Guest66>jpoiret "guix build --with-latest=gnunet gnunet" seems doing the job. '=D You have no idea how long I was trying to build it before. Awesome <jpoiret>if that works you can just `guix install --with-latest=gnunet gnunet` <jpoiret>i don't suggest running big binaries as suid, esp. if they're not written to be run that way <Guest66>Can I install ie gnunet or qemu as user and then set some execs setuid in the config? Gnunet needs some helpers suid/guid. Seems qemu bridge helper too. <rekado>it’s hard to compare branches, but from what I see the obvious failures on that branch also happen on the master branch. <Guest66>I'm struggling now with qemu networking. After debian client update, net is gone. Anyone have it running with networking? Or can give me advise on setting bridge in guix? <jpoiret>if you need setuid binaries, for now you need them in your config.scm. But you should still be able to something akin to --with-latest=gnunet instead of adding all dependencies and manually building gnunet <m4t3>Hello GUIX? Can GUIX packages be installed via Gnome-Software (GUI App Store)? <jpoiret>m4t3: i don't think there is a packagekit backend for Guix, so it would seem that the answer is no <jpoiret>Guest66: the issue here is that the suid programs will be using the standard Guix packaged gnunet, not the one built from the latest dev branch <jpoiret>m4t3: note though that guix itself can be installed on all linux flavors <jpoiret>and it won't conflict with the distro's package manager, many people actually use it this way (including core maintainers) <Guest66>jpoiret OK. How to point to the latest version in config.scm? <jpoiret>you'll need to define your own gnunet package, that will simply inherit from guix's default one but with a new source <jpoiret>it's a bit more technical compared to the CLI flags but it does the same in essence <jpoiret>there's actually a simpler way to do that, hang on <jpoiret>currently compiling 0.16.3, let's see if it builds <jpoiret>i have no idea how gnunet is supposed to be used though, so i won't be able to test it <tschilptschilp23>jab: I've now put all the suggestions from the 'perfect setup' into an interactive function in my init.el. This seems like a comparatively comfortable solution for me. <Guest66>jpoiret I am too. "your way". My way I have had to remove tests phase. Shall see. <jpoiret>these tests are taking a while, but they're all passing for now <gnoo>which needs the modules: (define-module (gnunet-git) #:use-module (guix packages) #:use-module (guix git) #:use-module (gnu packages gnunet)) <Guest66>jpoiret sudo -u gnunet gnunet-arm -s & gnunet-arm -s . With suid declarations. Then gnunet-arm -I to check running services & gnunet-peerinfo to check connection <Guest66>jpoiret I think will fail. Had the same problem. Without the phase it finish though <Guest66>but now when I try to build gnunet-gtk with latests, it pulls a default (13.1) gnunet as dependency. <jpoiret>you'll need to use package transformations for that <jpoiret>they're used to modify a whole dep tree <jpoiret>because the gnunet-gtk has the original gnunet package as its dependency, not the newer one <Guest66>jpoiret Yes. We all should be on the gnunet now. Strangely, no one is helping them. <Guest66>Maybe it is not supposed to be functional. Controled opposition? <Guest66>Or people belive the wrong god, MONEY = suseJdoG <Guest66>How to avoid getting ie gtk%2B-3.24.30-debug or any other -debug in config.scm <civodul>these are things that get displayed when downloading substitutes but that's about it, no? <Guest66>civodul can I avoid pulling of the -debug dependencies? I think qt one is >300MB and I have 40KB/s <civodul>Guest66: in general they should be downloaded only when needed; however there's a glitch with "grafts" (security updates) that leads them to be downloaded more often than necessary <Guest66>civodul In my case it's the definition of kde related packages in the config.scm. With every "guix gc" it downloads all the packages again. <Guest66>Will clean up the mess as soon I get my head around it. <Guest66>Did you know, we've had pandemics every 100 years? <Guest66>Myself, I've made a vacation out of this one. Next one I will miss aparently. <wdkrnls>Dear Guix, I am stuck on an old revision because upgrades take forever and there is always a conflict. <wdkrnls>I would like to clean up my profile, but I noticed there isn't an option to remove packages according to those listed in a file. <wdkrnls>Atleast, that is true on my ancient revision. <wdkrnls>I would like to learn how to greatly reduce the set of packages in my default profile, but it seems like there are no tools to do that. <f1refly>when I submitted my patches with 54299 I seem to have made some wrong assumptions. Can someone help me clear things up with the cargo-build-system? <f1refly>For example when I look in the definition of rust-winit-0.24 rust-bitflags-1 is included with #cargo-inputs <f1refly>according to the documentation #cargo-inputs is for source only crates. but the definition for rust-bitflags-1 doesn't has skip-build? #t set, so it should exist as a linkable binary <civodul>wdkrnls: hi! you can pass "guix remove" several packages, but of course only you can choose what to remove <civodul>typically i'd suggest using "guix shell" for development environments and for things you rarely use <civodul>and keep in the default profiles only things you use all the time <f1refly>My though process now was that it's common to treat library crates as source only, so I defined my packages with skip-build? #t and included them in #cargo-inputs instead of inputs, but then I was told that I shouldn't use skip-build? #t because we always want to build <jpoiret>f1refly: linkable binaries don't exist in the cargo ecosystem i believe <f1refly>I thought so as well, but apparently they produce intermediates that can be used by the rustc jpoiret <jpoiret>cargo-build-system uses cargo, not rustc directly <jpoiret>there's a recent discussion about a new build system on the MLs <Guest66>:@ You care about Bill the Gates of Hell not dictating you what you run, but not what you eat and inject? <wdkrnls>civodul: thanks, as usual the best answer is to not get in a mess in the first place. <singpolyma>f1refly: I think we can always use regular inputs now. Cargo inputs is historical <jpoiret>you could try using manifests instead wdkrnls, it gives you a cleaner overview imho <wdkrnls>jpoiret: I believe it, but my issue is undoing a bunch of naive damage I already did and learning to be much better at the shell. <wdkrnls>I wish there was a safe way to know what I could get rid of in the default profile. If I delete everything, would that really be that bad? <singpolyma>Though I'm not sure if the manual is up to date for inputs working with cargo or not <wdkrnls>I was originally thinking of having multiple profiles like in the Guix Cookbook. <jpoiret>you'll lose programs for sure, but you won't bork too much i think <f1refly>....can I close a patch and just redo the work and submit it again after I read the new documentation? <f1refly>also the devel manual says the same thing as the 1.3.0 manual <singpolyma>It still says inputs don't work?

<tschilptschilp23>jab: kind of! I put all the info from the perfect setup into an interactive function in my emacs-init-file. Now I can load it on demand, and after an emacs-restart my 'shell' still works without this glitches! <jab>tschilptschilp23: haha. That's pretty cool. <f1refly>singpolyma: no, that was never written anywhere. It says there that #cargo-inputs should be used for source-only inputs (?) and inputs should be used for inputs that are... not source only i guess? <f1refly>I'm not sure how rust is supposed to be packaged at all judging from from both docs and other crates <wdkrnls>jpoiret: in the sense of `guix package -i emacs -p ~/my/editor` <wdkrnls>I haven't quite figured out to what extent that these other profiles are supported. They are documented in the Cookbook and part of the package command interface, but no one seems to recommend them. <wdkrnls>Instead they talk about guix environment or guix shell, even though those seem better for the final stages of development instead of the very early stages when you are just trying a lot of things. <jpoiret>internally, shell and environment both use temporary profiles <nouun>I'm trying to run valgrind but it says the symbol 'strlen' is not found while processing ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, I have gcc-toolchain. Am I missing something else| <jpoiret>so you'll get the same functionality, but in an imperative (vs. declarative) fashion <jpoiret>you can totally do what you suggested! <jpoiret>don't let there be too many profiles though, since you have to update them manually etc... <jpoiret>i use -p to test `guix pull` related changes and all but there are uses for non-default profiles :) <jpoiret>nouun: you'll need glibc:debug i think <nouun>I did `guix environment glibc:debug` but still same error. <nouun>Oh, found a workaround on a mailing list. <jpoiret>guix environment gives you the dependencies of the given packages by default <jpoiret>you want either `guix environment --ad-hoc glibc:debug` or `guix shell glibc:debug` <jpoiret>either way, i think you'd need to include gcc-toolchain in the shell invocation, otherwise it won't set the proper search paths <wdkrnls>Since a profile is just an object in the store, I guess it makes sense that I can just archive it and export it to other guix systems. That sounds nice. <jpoiret>it's not just a thing in the store though, it's also a special gc root that lives in /var/guix/profiles/per-user/xxx/ <jpoiret>this lets you account for generations <jpoiret>but you could definitely export it to other guix systems.

I'm sourcing them in .bash_profile but thought .profile might be needed for that. <Guest66>in the package definition of the gnunet-gtk i find " (inputs `( ("glade3" ,glade3)" but it does not exist. <anadon>Guest66: Looks like the package definition needs to change to `(inputs ( glade@3 ))` or something. <anadon>`glade` exists, just without the numbering in its name, which is how package names are supposed to work. <Guest66>anadon Yes but I have found with the "guix edit glade" that it is defined as glade3 <Guest66>libpangocairo is the next missing piece. Where does it sit? <nckx>guix search glade will. The CLI doesn't deal with variable names. <anadon>And the modules are imported correctly... <anadon>Odd. You'll need someone more experienced than me. <nckx>There is no libpangocairo. It's a file provided by pango. Cuix doesn't index or search files (yet). <nckx>*no libpangocairo package <anadon>nckx: Do you know who is active on here who has commit access that I can bother? I need a patch merged so I submit two additional dependent packages. <anadon>Or should I just start maintaining my own channels? <anadon>It adds the new version of utfcpp, sets a default version of utfcpp, and patches packages which don't built and test correctly using utfcpp. Since utfcpp is a header only library, builting and testing should be sufficient to ensure correct behavior. <nckx>WDYM bf 'should be closer'? <anadon>Yes. And Wargame2100, which also had an issue with the new version. <anadon>All other packages seemed happy with the new version, and so I left them with the utfcpp default. <anadon>"Stupid guix! Ooga booga booga!" <nckx>I find that much as with computers in general, my exclamations of 'stupid guix!!!' are frequently followed by a '...oh. ah. right. oops.' somewhat later. <anadon>I've done that twice this past week. <nckx>By the way, Leo's nick here is lfam. <anadon>I've been away for like 2 years. Forgotten a bit. <anadon>Huh. `guix authenticate` fails with `Permission denied: "/etc/guix/acl"` <anadon>Good to be back. I need to get the hell out of my current job, so that means outside projects for exercise and exposure. <nckx>anadon: Running it as root will probably fix that, but it's not a supported user command. <nckx>error: required file 'build-aux/texinfo.tex' not found <nckx>Hm. The laptop is a bit out of date. <anadon>I have a senior coworker that skips build in object init, and then added a dummy setupMaster which only serves to call setup. God forbid he have to change how he works, even slightly. <nckx>I don't know what any of that means but will substitute my own, suitably scary, metaphor. <anadon>Imagine the most anti-functional code you can. Like Fortran pre-if-else block code. That. <nckx>Entrenched senior fake gurus are the worst. <singpolyma>I once saw smalltalk written by someone who only knew C and Did Not Want To Change *nckx bootstraps Guix to appease the Guix gods. <nckx>As always when I think ‘I have 10 minutes, I'll commit to committing something’ :-/ <anadon>The worst part? He's like 35, and he somehow pulled this_in python 3_. <singpolyma>I presume you're using "35" as young but it's hard to tell <anadon>Refuses to actually engage with me as if I know anything. <anadon>That's what I'm referring to. He's young and this messed up. *nckx sits on a bench, feeding the birds. <anadon>I'm here to learn decades of experience faster than decades. I don't have that long to live to fuck around. <anadon>Relocating to a friend's house. Might be on Monday or later this week. Life gets busy.
