<emacsomancer[m]>does anyone have experience running mullvad's vpn from nix on top of guix? I run mullvad elsewhere without issue and have run mullvad via nix on top of another linux distro without issue. But on guix, though it works, from time to time guix seems to lose dns lookup ability until I turn off the vpn. <apteryx>lechner: like icons or fonts, the choices of certificates is left to users to choose which one they prefer/trust. <horizoninnovatio>The problems I was having with evolution on XFCE has been solved by adding gnome-desktop-services to config.scm and "reconfigure. Obviously pulled in some gnome packages that fixed the problem. Shouldn't these "gnome packges" be dependencies of evolution so it can run on other desktops? Just curious. <Aurora_v_kosmose>Just guesses: The dependency might not be explicitly written in their documentation, wasn't at some time, or is marked as "optional/recommended". <horizoninnovatio>If it stops the app from working then it shouldn't be "optional/recommended"? <Aurora_v_kosmose>horizoninnovatio: If it was never tested by its devs outside of Gnome, dependencies might have snuck in. <Aurora_v_kosmose>That would be somewhat neglectful, I suppose, but many have yet to learn how useful guix graph is. *Aurora_v_kosmose is of course hinting that Guix is a great development tool they failed to use. <lechner>apteryx: Thanks! Does Guix offer choices? <oriansj>lechner: what do you mean by choices? <lechner>oriansj: CA certificates other than nss-certs <oriansj>like le-certs or just creating your own? because those are options <lechner>oriansj: one of them should be required. 'guix system reconfigure' fails when nss-certs is not installed in the system profile (user or root are not enough) and installing any certificates becomes impossible <oriansj>lechner: dictating roots of trust has implications. You should be free to choose for yourself who you trust. <oriansj>lechner: Guix is about empowering you and with that comes responsibility <apteryx>lechner: is your guix up to date?

How do I specify a branch inside a package definition? I skimmed over guix/gnu/packages but so far without luck. <PurpleSym>PotentialUser-42: Usually you don’t, because a branch is not atomic and can change, invalidating the hash. <jgart>PotentialUser-42: that's funny that you asked that question becuase I was asking myself that just a few moments ago in regards to something I was trying to package haha <jgart>PotentialUser-42: I think there must be an example of how to specify a branch somewhere... <jgart>iirc I did it once for a package but can't remember now ;() <jgart>I do a grep for branch filtered to only lisp files in the guix source tree <Aurora_v_kosmose>Between Sourcehut and Guix-Forge, I like what's happening in the forge space. <jgart>jpoiret: thanks for the link.

It says Dementer costs 10 USD but is it proprietary? <Aurora_v_kosmose>hmm... lei seems interesting, but it basically has the same issue as offlineimap. It just duplicates something I already have on my machine (since I just cloned the public-inbox storage repo) <Aurora_v_kosmose>So I still need to basically use 2x space just to get it into a format I can index & use with Emacs. <Aurora_v_kosmose>littlebobeep: It's basically a classic Lisp proprietary-with-source arrangement. <jpoiret>lei lets you download only the parts you care about, but if you need/want to fully clone the public-inbox repo then yes i guess it's not the best <littlebobeep>Aurora_v_kosmose: I am not familiar with Lisp arrangements like this <Aurora_v_kosmose>littlebobeep: The majority of commercial LispM-era software came with the source, but without the same rights as GPL gives you. <Aurora_v_kosmose>littlebobeep: So you can modify it, patch it, run it, read it, etc. But you can't just share or resell it. Presumably.

<lechner>Hi, has anyone ever seen: herd: exception caught while executing 'start' on service 'networking': Throw to key `%exception' with args `("#<&netlink-response-error errno: 17>")'. ? Thanks! https://paste.debian.net/1240771/ <lechner>a very similar setup works elsewhere with dynamic networking instead of static <maximed>lechner: I wonder if this is due to multiple rules for destination="default" or device="eth0" <maximed>Recommend reporting it at bug-guix@gnu.org, at least the error reporting can be improved here if that is the issue <maximed>(maybe verify against duplicates while building the system configuration?) <reyman>perhaps we need to "up" the issue ? <mesaoptimizer>reyman: I think it would be better to first check whether we can add a kernel module for keymaps into the initial ramdisk. That's what I plan to do eventually. If that doesn't work, then I would make an update regarding that issue. <reyman>Thanks @mesaoptimizer, i'm interested to know how to do that if you success :D <mesaoptimizer>I'll ping you here if I do, but trust me, I'm very new to guix and I still haven't completed the first `reconfigure` of the system (building takes so long! why!) <reyman>If there are no binary available it seems guix compile the code, yesterday guix compile firefox 100 ... that take 2 hour, why, i suppose the binary server was not available or something like that ? <mekeor[m]>reyman: firefox is not packaged for guix, so please consult the channel you use, not #guix :) <reyman>oh sorry, firefox is not totally FLOSS ? oups. <mekeor[m]>i dont remember the exact reasoning. maybe it was due to licensing of images/logos? <maximed>reyman: maybe the issue is that Firefox automatically download the non-free library ‘Widevine’? <maximed>It's not even only non-free, it's also a pre-built binary. <maximed>Well, it asks something along the lines ‘install DRM module’ or such first, but it's actually a case ‘install non-free module pre-compiled by third-parties that cannot be verified against the sourec code’ <maximed>* it's actually a case -> it actually means <maximed>IceCat also does some privacy things, though I don't know of the details. <pashencija[m]>The idea is to make a functon to fill the partition with bootloader <pashencija[m]>So I'm trying to understand how to make initalizer at least empty or creating one file <pashencija[m]> * So I'm trying to understand how to make initializer at least empty or creating one file/directory <singpolyma>reyman: yeah, Firefox is fully FLOSS but it doesn't fit some of the stricter GFSD rules <singpolyma>mekeor[m]: yes, that's normal. Doesn't affect freedom issues. Many free licenses require you to mark modified versions <mekeor[m]>it's not about marking modified versions, but the opposite: if you keep firefox trademarks in the firefox you distribute, you either have to comply some strict set of trademark rules or need a written agreement with mozilla... <mekeor[m]>pashencija: i'm a gexp noob but did you try (partition (initializer (gexp (lambda (root) (mkdir "foo"))))? :) <mekeor[m]>pashencija: because initialize-efi-partition also receives one parameter <mesaoptimizer>hello, how can I see the corresponding source code for an installed package? <pashencija[m]>mekeor[m]: Of course. I have even tried coping that function to my code "as is". It failed <mekeor[m]>mesaoptimizer: you could use emacs-guix or use 'guix show package-name' and then it shows the module name... <mekeor[m]>mesaoptimizer: emacs-guix offers an "edit" button or so <mesaoptimizer>mekeor[m]: Yes, seeing the module name isn't enough. I know that `guix edit date` shows the build / definition of the package, but does this mean that the actual source of the package isn't accessible? <mekeor[m]>mesaoptimizer: oh apparently there's also guix edit! <mekeor[m]>mesaoptimizer: looks like you gotta use the --source or --sources param (manual @ 9.1.3 Additional Build Options) <mesaoptimizer>huh. That's unfortunate, looks like I have to separately download the source code for any package I'm interested in looking at. That's a sensible default though. <maximed>mesaoptimizer: You can download the source code of the package: <apteryx>rekado: hi! the only one that succeeded was "Rocky-8-x86_64-LIVE" (non-GuixFarm variant). But it leaves me at a login prompt and I don't know what credentials to use to log in <mesaoptimizer>sweet! two questions: how do I get the exact version that is installed, and how do I safely remove the source (I know I shouldn't manually try messing with `/gnu/store/` <mekeor[m]>you could try out if guix gc removes the sources <mesaoptimizer>got the first one: `guix build --source coreutils@8.32` is how you get a specific version <mekeor[m]>mesaoptimizer: yes but that's still not necessarily 100% the exact same thing. you would also need to consider the guix-version/commitHash and channels etc. or you first run 'guix build --source packageName' and then build the sources but idk how latter works <mesaoptimizer>I'm sorry, you lost me here. Could you explain it in a way that someone very new to guix can understand? <mekeor[m]>mesaoptimizer: you can also stop guix gc from deleting it by using guix build --source foo -r link, apparently <maximed>I'm not sure what the point is of removing the sources. <maximed>mesaoptimizer: I think what meseoptimizer was referring to, is that you can have multiple variants of a package on one system. E.g., <mesaoptimizer>If you are asking me, I don't *want* to remove sources, but I want to know how to do so. Ideally I would like to have sources for *all* installed packages, so I can refer to the source code if necessary <mekeor[m]>mesaoptimizer: assume the developers of a package calles "foo" release it twice with the same version. or imagine that guix' package declaration for foo changed since you built it as an executable... <maximed>there's a hypothetical package "foo@1.2.3" in Guix commit abcdef. <maximed>But then it's discovered there's a bug in it. <maximed>While there is no new release yet, there's a patch for fixing the bug. <maximed>So the patch is added to Guix, in commit fedcba. <maximed>So "guix build --source" on the old Guix returns the old source code, whereas on the new Guix, it returns the new source code. <maximed>mesaoptimizer: I think you can use "--source" on manifests: <maximed>Maybe with "guix build --source -m manifest.scm"? (not sure) <mesaoptimizer>I understood what you said, but I didn't get the point you were making. <maximed>To also have the source code of the dependencies, --sources=transitive <maximed>This was my explanation for mekeor's ‘yes but thtat's stil not necessarily 100% the exact same thing ...’ <mesaoptimizer>I see. But when you do a `guix pull`, isn't guix always updated? <mesaoptimizer>Oh I see, when you download a source with the old guix in the past, you get the unpatched source <maximed>mesaoptimzer: (on `guix pull`): It updates guix (+ channels) itself (the "guix" command), including the set of package definitions. <maximed>However, it does not update any other packages you have installed. <mesaoptimizer>But that only makes sense if you are downloading source separately. Ideally what I would like is access to the source for the specific binary that I have. <maximed>For that, you need "guix package -u". <mesaoptimizer>maximed: oh yeah, I meant the `guix` command and not the system <maximed>mesaoptimizer: I don't think there currently is a method for automatically mapping a binary in /gnu/store to its corresponding source code. <mesaoptimizer>:( that's what I was most excited about. a nix user claimed this was possible in nixOS using `nix-store --binding src --query $(which emacs)`, and also claimed that guixSD can do the same <maximed>Though in principle it could be done by determining its derivation (there's a mapping from store items to derivations somewhere I think? not sure how to access them though) and sniffing through the derivation for source-code.tar.gz/zip/git-checkout/... inputs. <maximed>Should be relatively simple to implement though. <maximed>Basically, do the equivalent of "guix gc --derivers" to find the derivation, use (guix derivation) to parse the derivation, use derivation-inputs to get the inputs, look through the list for an input named "source", output the result of "derivation-input-path" <mesaoptimizer>the fact that it is even possible is nice. I think I'll spend some time getting used to guix before deciding whether implementing such a feature makes sense. <maximed>Also, GuixSD has been renamed to Guix System. <maximed> (2) We used to refer to Guix System as “Guix System Distribution” or <maximed>“GuixSD”. We now consider it makes more sense to group everything under <maximed>the “Guix” banner since, after all, Guix System is readily available <maximed>through the ‘guix system’ command, even if you’re using a different <mesaoptimizer>So Guix System is the Guix based distro, and guix system is also a command <maximed>Guix System (a part of Guix) allows you to boot your computer with only Guix (and not on top of a ‘foreign’ system like Debian or such) <mesaoptimizer>Guix is a distro, a distribution of packages. Guix System is Guix, but with kernels and whatever, that enable native support for Guix. Is this correct? <maximed>Terminology is confusing, distro can mean different things. <a13x5>ekaitz ok so this gets strange with (packages (cons (list bind "utils") %base-packages)) guix throws and error <a13x5>ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception: <a13x5>In procedure struct-vtable: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting struct): #<procedure bind (_ _ #:optional _ . _)> <a13x5>Also I tried (specification->package+output "bind" "utils") as maximed suggested. No errors on that, but it seems that nothing installed - I don't have any dns utils in path... <mesaoptimizer>okay, I think I shall call it GuixSD or GuixOS to ensure people understand what I am talking about. <maximed>Super-technically, the kernel (linux-libre) is actually available as a package in Guix. <maximed>but it has been renamed from GuixSD to Guix System <maximed>Anyway, the general term is Guix, which covers everything. <maximed>Maybe we shouldn't have introduced a separate term ‘Guix System’, and instead just have said something along the lines of ‘Guix now supports bootloaders and kernels and init systems and such’. <maximed>I think I could continue discussing the exact terminology but it would only get more confusing I'd think. <ekaitz>a13x5: it's because of the cons you are using, you are concatenating to that list, and the list should be one element <ekaitz>a13x5: try this (packages (list (list bind "utils") %base-packages)) <maximed>For example, ‘on foreign systems it is called Guix’ is not 100% correct, you can use Guix System on foreign systems to make VM images that boot into a Guix System environment. <pashencija[m]><mekeor[m]> "pashencija: source for initializ..." <- ice-9/eval.scm:336:13: Wrong number of arguments to #<procedure initializer (a b)> <maximed>and ‘guix native is called Guix System’ isn't 100% correct either, because on multi-user Guix Systems, most users probably aren't administrators so they cannot do "guix system reconfigure" (though they can do "guix system vm" and "guix install") <mesaoptimizer>oh hold on, so these VM images give you Guix System, and are run inside the host OS which isn't Guix System but a foreign distro. <maximed>yes, exactly. Though of course you can also run the VM images with Guix System as host OS. <maximed>The "guix system vm" doesn't care if you're on Guix System or a foreign distro, as long as _inside_ the VM it's Guix System. <mesaoptimizer>interesting. thank you for showing how my naming convention was based on an incorrect set of concepts about guix <maximed>When in doubt, I recommend using the name "Guix", which is always correct, though not always 100% specific. <a13x5>ekaitz Nope, it doesn't work((( And right now I literally have only (packages (list (list bind "utils") %base-packages)) in the config <maximed>a13x5: did you import the module defining 'bind'? <maximed>I think the problem is that 'bind' is also a Guile procedure for networking things. <maximed>Whereas you probably meant the package named 'bind' instead. <maximed>(that's the variable name for the "bind" package) <maximed>Or use specification->package+output <ekaitz>a13x5: you did it right before i think <ekaitz>i have something similar now but with packages->manifest and it's working <a13x5>Yes, I imported package-module named dns <tricon>mesaoptimizer: Ambrevar has become one of my favorite programmers.

What do you mean? <euandreh>OK, so manually enriching the PATH value in the job <maximed>Maybe there's a nicer way to do this, but yes <apteryx>raghavgururajan: pidgin is stuck at python 2; is it possible to update it? <emacsomancer[m]>is there a way to use guix graph to just show which currently installed packages depend on a certain package? <maximed>$ guix gc --referrers /gnu/store/the-store-item-of-the-certain-package <maximed>it will list all store items (mostly packages) that are somewhere on your system that run-time depends on the package <maximed>(exceptions = propagation, not build-time-only ...) <maximed>Found it: guix graph --type=referrers hello <maximed>(here, installed = exists somewhere in /gnu/store, not necessarily in your current profile) <zubbie>yeah, the eaf install is complicated, sadly.. even more so because they don't have a script for guix <apteryx>rekado: "Packages depending on JACK should always prefer jack-1" -> still true? <zubbie>but it gives you a legit browser in emacs among other things <tricon>unmatched-paren: could just use EXWM. <emacsomancer[m]>maximed: hmm, while `guix gc --referrers` seems to work (though I have to manually keep querying), `guix graph --type refererrs PKGNAME` just gives me back a graph with the package itself and the 'debug' version' of the same package <mekeor[m]><lechner> "Hi, does ssh sometimes fail to..." <- lechner: and does it succeed to restart sshd after it fails silently? <mekeor[m]>tree-sitter is packaged. but what about emacs-tree-sitter? cbaines, it looks like you did some work on that some time ago? ***dgcampea-2 is now known as dgcampea
<raingloom>ooh, i tried packaging it recently-ish. nice to see someone else did the work already. <lechner>Hi, is that a reasonable deploy hook for certificates for smtpd, please? (program-file "smtpd-deploy-hook" (gexp (herd restart smtpd))) <KarlJoad>Has anyone ever had issues getting the bootloader to "stick" on their Guix system installation? Mine seems to disappear after I remove the disk from the system. <sneek>KarlJoad, you have 2 messages! <sneek>KarlJoad, podiki[m] says: there is the --log-file option for just that <sneek>KarlJoad, nckx says: Guix's linux-libre package saves a copy of the complete .config file in the output store directory (which is symlinked from /run/{booted,current}-system/kernel/.config on Guix System). <lechner>KarlJoad: My bootloaders reside on disks, but that is probably a misunderstanding of your message. <KarlJoad>lechner: Mine does too. It's sitting on /dev/sdc1, a SATA SSD. But, it is in a server disk-swap bay, allowing for easy removal. <arkhan>Hello, could someone explain this argument better? <KarlJoad>When I pull it out, and boot to another OS (NixOS) and then try to boot back to Guix, Guix does not have a bootloader. <KarlJoad>But, when I stay on Guix the whole time, I can reboot as many times as I want. <mekeor[m]>arkhan: both users, root and "arkhan" (i guess) have guix installed in their PATH. when arkhan runs "guix", which guix does it execute? could you tell me by running "which guix"? <pashencija[m]>Is sending email to bug-guix@gnu.org enough to report a bug? <horizoninnovatio>Good morning! Has anyone successfully installed guix on the pine64 pinephone? <horizoninnovatio>Is there a way to update grub where it recognises other linuxes on the machine? <horizoninnovatio>pashencija[m]: The pinehone "requires" a mobile interface, and the modem now can have open source firmware. Curious as to how far long it is. I'd like to help. <unmatched-paren>not sure installing guix on a phone is a good idea; wouldn't it ruin the sd card? guix does a lot of disk i/o <horizoninnovatio>It can I suppose but generally doesn't. The grub question is for a standard x86-64 machine! <apteryx>rekado: OK, thanks to your colleague :-) I guess I could put the single user mode at the end of the kernel line to get a root session, if that still works <lilyp>civodul: does it make sense to build emacs-28 on CI still or should I go ahead and push to master or staging? <civodul>lilyp: hi! oh, i was waiting for a confirmation that we could build it actually <civodul>but then you mentioned that things like native compilation were missing and that you were not going to work on it, right? <lilyp>I replied to you via mail, but it seems to have gotten lost <lilyp>oh, I was just putting the achievements of that series in context <lilyp>IIUC people really want native-comp, but I'm as of yet unsure what that'd entail to our emacs-build-system as a whole <civodul>i think native compilation is a big part of Emacs 28 <lilyp>Right now we're missing out either way, not just on native compilation, but on the rest of Emacs 28 as well <rekado>apteryx: re “jack-1”: no, we should use jack2 instead, wherever possible. Unfortunately, a user cannot just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the libs of jack2 to swap it out. <lilyp>can we just add that configure flag without it affectig emacs-build-system? I doubt it <apteryx>I'll remove that obsolete command then. <apteryx>lilyp: sounds worth trying, it may be easier to enable than expected <apteryx>also, there's a channel with it enalbed IIRC, so if it needs something special, the recipe should be readily available <civodul>lilyp: what does it take to enable native comp? <lilyp>Well this might be just be thinking too hard, but we'd want to native-comp our emacs-* packages, no? <lilyp>s/be thinking/be me thinking/ <civodul>i've kinda lost track of all the good things happening in Emacs land :-) <lilyp>If I understand correctly, it works like a JIT, but it also writes caches. <lilyp>so we should ideally pregenerate those like our ld.so.cache <civodul>so, if nobody's willing to do the work, let's first get the upgrade <civodul>we still need to have it built though <civodul>could you rebase the branch on master? <civodul>lemme know when you're done and i'll add the jobset <apteryx>pashencija[m]: first time contributor? there's a moderation queue <pashencija[m]>Ok, I can wait, no problem. I hope two emails with the same body won't trouble the moderator much. It's my first experience with mailing lists <lilyp>only for the first submission or if you've been marked a spammer <apteryx>civodul: I've restarted postgres, hoping to work around the Cuirass issue
