<Kabouik>Anyone using Wayland and Sway on Guix? I was thinking changing distribution was a good occasion to transition to a more modern compositor as well. I have many issues with my install remaining that I don't know how to solve yet, so it can only marginally get worse anyway. :> <Kabouik>I have Sway and Wayland install already, but GDM only offers Xorg DE/WMs <Cairn>Hey guix. How would you specify a commit for only a particular channel on a guix pull (when using multiple channels) <vldn>mybe try launching it from the tty? via "sway" @kabouik <vldn>i think there are somewhere custom definitions for a startup herd service <vldn>i launch my dwm on login to my tty automatically via [ "$(tty)" = "/dev/tty1" ] && sx dwm <Kabouik>I found something about "sddm" but that sounded complicated (for me) and I was afraid that if it failed, it could just be me failing to implement it correctly in my config. <ss2>Kabouik: not quite, once you've enabled wayland you can load sway with it too. <ss2>which is what I've set up now. <vldn>ah that would maybe easier for your setup Kabouik - ss2 <ss2>something like that. <ss2>Then sway becomes loadable. But it got a bit confusing for me, since .xsession isn't read as expected anymore and have since put all my nice startup programmes into sway/config. Not sure if it is the best option, though it works for me. <Kabouik>I never used Wayland and am expecting many issues until I learn alternatives to setxkbmap, .Xresources and so on, anyway <ss2>I had surprisingly few problems. Though I moved from i3 and had brought the kitchen sink with me. Which kind of helped. <mbakke>civodul: thanks for taking care of Cheese! I wonder how the updater managed to construct the correct URL <Kabouik>I'm coming from i3 too but am having many problems with my install on this machine so far (some of which I don't have in xfce4). Trying to change to Wayland at the same time may be a bit bold since I don't know my way in Guix and Scheme, but if it pays off, at least I'll be happy with this setup for years to come. ***Dynom_ is now known as Guest1767

<Kabouik>Awesome, I just tested and I'm in Wayland now ss2. I had to disable autologin or it would default to X11 and i3, maybe because it uses the last used session by default. I had a few adaptations to do in my Sway config but not many, it's running fine now. Glad to see Sway has gaps like i3-gaps, I didn't know. <Kabouik>Now I'll still need to find alternatives to setxkbmap, xrandr, and a bunch of other things, in hope it will resolve part of the issue I had before. <Kabouik>Apparently I starred it in the past, but forgot about it! Perfect, thanks. <Kabouik>I'm surprised that some X programs still work fine, like dmenu and rofi (although I already had sway-launcher confifugred, so I'll use that isntead for now, to stay as Wayland as possible) <Kabouik>They probably work through Xwayland. <abcdw>This system service automatically picks udev rules from package and adds them to /etc/udev/rules.d/ <Kabouik>Thanks, will look into it. Meanwhile I noticed that Wayland fixes my screen tearing issues. It's still choppy in some tearing tests (that one in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hIRq5HTh5s) but not tearing, so I'll be able to simplify my config.scm that contained some Xorg extra config. <Kabouik>So when I add this service, I just have to reinstall `light` so that it picks the udev rules shipped with it? <abcdw>You don't have to reinstall anything, just guix system reconfigure ./your-config.scm <abcdw>Also, make sure to change brigthnessctl to light in the service definition. <apteryx>GNUtoo: I've fixed the FSDG problems in phoronix-test-suite.

I'd just had mine open and copied it out for you. Good luck, yeah, there are not so many, but good lists on migrating and setting things up. If you know what you need and are already coming from i3, the transition will be smooth. <Kabouik>Yes, I think I'm already closer to functional state in Sway than I was in i3 an hour ago. Now the volume buttons are recognized (although I still have no audio device identified by pulseaudio) and I can change brightness from commandline, I just haven't managed to use abcdw's solution above for udev ruls yet (I thought I would just need to use the three lines from the line-specific URL they posted, but that is not enough and I might need some of the ***reyman_aw is now known as reyman

It does look like a legitimate bug, even if this is a very unusual way to write a package. <Luk6655>btw, is there some way to check the system config.scm syntax without running guix system reconfigure? Something like --dry-run for reconfigure? <nckx>abrenon: It seems to be some interaction of file-union ←→ grafts ←→ propagated-inputs, because removing any of those ‘fixes’ it. <Luk6655>is it actually --dry-run? (There doesn't seem to be a man page for guix system reconfigure) <abrenon>really ? I was just playing with forces I don't understand : S <nckx>Luk6655: Yes, it is. The full documentation for guix is maintained as a Texinfo manual, not man pages. <abrenon>I have no idea if that triggered a bug <nckx>Luk6655: There's also ‘guix SUBCOMMAND --help’. <abrenon>I'll keep the file around if you want to dive in some day then (and I'd gladly take the explanations of what would be expected or not) <nckx>abrenon: I suggest using git-checkout to continue, even if this means you'll have to commit all changes. <nckx>That seemed to work anyway. <abrenon>yeah, what I eventually did, I thought I was really stupid to spend so much time to try and understand gexps when I really needed was the script to run on another machine <abrenon>which it has been doing for approximately half an hour now : ) <nckx>abrenon: You could post it to the mailing list as a puzzle. I'd be curious to know if there's an obvious reason behind the madness. <abrenon>(you mean appart from my not understanding what there is expected to be a gexp and what isn't ? ^^) <abrenon>I'll try it then when I have SSh access to that second machine and I can watch over the script during the weekend <nckx>Luk6655: I interrupted myself whilst typing: there's also ‘guix system build’, which builds the entire system just like reconfigure would, but does nothing with the end result. A very thorough test of sorts. <nckx>Any reconfigure after that will be close to instant, modulo building the bootloader and some minor derivations. <Luk6655>This is even better, I can definitely see myself using it a lot. <nckx>Great! It's overkill for checking your basic system.scm syntax. <nckx>(While it has a few rough edges, like ignoring your file-systems for technical reasons, and of course missing hardware, I recommend checking out ‘vm’ and the other subcommands, there is more coolness beyond ‘reconfigure’.) *nckx reboots.

I might hear Funny Elephant Analysis rather than Finite Element Analysis for example in a noisy room. <wdkrnls>But your interpretation makes tons of sense "now that I know". <podiki[m]>I often find respectively not very necessary, but sometimes it does make things nice and compact, as in this example (probably would read okay without the "resp." but might be less clear) <wdkrnls>For me it's not clear, but it is definitely precise. <wdkrnls>I have seen a sort of "or" syntax used instead. <nckx>Respectively is fine, but ‘resp.’ is the kind of needless abbreviation that Guix normally avoids. <nckx>It's now officially led to more innocent bytes being wasted than were ever saved. <wdkrnls>Presumably multiple --expose and --share are possible as well? <wdkrnls>I didn't see it documented and haven't tried it, but my intution would say it exists. <wdkrnls>Unfortunately, that intuition doesn't always work well. <nckx>The first ‘Invoking guix shell’ example has 2. <wdkrnls>Oh, it does at that. I came at it from below and missed them. <wdkrnls>I must have read it earlier and forgot. <wdkrnls>It gets rid of resp. and respectively as well. <nckx>Heh, I saw the ‘resp.’ when I looked up ‘--expose’ and was thinking the same thing. Would you like to submit a patch? <nckx>One could also just document --expose in full, then have --share as its own thing with ‘literally exactly --expose, but the mount is writable’ or something. <nckx>Or the other way 'round, respectively. <nckx>Juggling them both was an admirable attempt but I don't think it worked, it just adds mental overhead. <davidl>nckx: hi, do you have any estimate on when you think you will get around to merge the bash-bcu patch? <nckx>I said this weekend, that hasn't changed. <nckx>I do not have access to my signing keys. <davidl>oh, I must have missed that, then Im sorry to nag you <nckx>I thought you replied with something about a PM with changes?

The key looks cool too! <nckx>(So ignore my ‘contactless’ confusion above. The key is very contactful.) <tricon>i just have the SoloKey1 Developer. i don't think the NFC version was out when i purchased it; either that or i opted for no NFC as i would like to rid myself of a cellphone some day. <tricon>still, i definitely like the idea of Bring-Your-Own-*-Factor <tricon>related: Dashlane is starting to push passkeys, which iOS 16 will support. i don't know all the impl details, but i cringe at trusting other parties with my keys. <nckx>I'm not familiar with Dashlane. <nckx>(Or iOS, but that's rather less surprising :) <tricon>it's not free software. i only bring it up as an interest in what is going on in the tech sector as these things can have reaching implications. <tricon>yeah, i just use a work phone at the moment. hoping to build out my Pine64s, one as an audiobook player, the other as a severely limited phone (basically a home handset). <nckx>I want to clarify that it's not forbidden to mention non-free software here, as long as it's not simply off-topic. There's a thick grey line between promoting and discussing, but most people can tell the difference. <tricon>yeah. i figured that was the line, and appreciate the clarification. *nckx notices ur cloak. Ah. Clarification was probably not needed. Still. <vagrantc>lispmacs[work]: i only know cardpeek doesn't build reproducibly and i couldn't come up with a workaround or fix :( <vagrantc>i have a couple solokeys that were rejected because whatever wireless technology didn't work (so much the better, in my opinion) but i never managed to carve out the time to use them <vagrantc>pretty happy with my gnuk devices anyways :) <vagrantc>parts shortages aside, you ought to be able to build yourself a gnuk... <dthompson>I usually only peek at the nix community through the lens of HN threads but I've noticed several times that they believe a lazily evaluated language is core requirement, and sometimes they try to square that with the fact that guix despite using an eagerly evaluated language. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32693107 <nckx>My first-ever message to this channel was literally (well, paraphrased) ‘how does this guix thing even work if u no hav lazy language lol?’. <dthompson>makes me wonder what communal truths we may have that don't really hold up <dthompson>"I don't even understand how Guix manages to work without laziness, though clearly it does somehow." <dthompson>I wish I knew a little more about nix the language so I knew how to explain why guix works. <nckx>Well, obviously I saw it worked and was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, and look what happened. Let this be a warning. <nckx>Yes, but it's managed explicitly where needed, not magically everywhere. <nckx>I'm not saying magic is good or evil, but it sure is magic. <two[m]>substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org'... 0.0%guix substitute: error: TLS error in procedure 'write_to_session_record_port': Помилка у функції push. <nckx>(I'm guessing ‘guix pull’, but ‘error in the pull function’.) <singpolyma>Default to lazy is nicer for sure, but that's just ergonomics the feature is equivalent either way <nckx>Dammit, now I did it. *push function. <nckx>singpolyma: It's not always nice. <nckx>two[m]: Does it keep happening each time? <nckx>Very unsatisfying answer: try a few more times, if it still happens then, try to share the full output (if there's more). <antipode>on non-niceness, if you have lazyness by default, you need to be extra careful with exception handlers and other dynamic environment things (stack limits, parametrisations/fluids, call-with-blocked-asyncs, prompts, ...?) <antipode>with 'lazyness', Nix folks don't seem to be just referring to lazyness, but also to self-modifying code (overlays overriding the things they are overriding?) <nckx>By the way, two[m], I can't verify it now but I think running ‘LC_ALL=C guix pull’ should print English error messages, which will help others debug the problem. <nckx>It's likely already known, but still worth reporting IMO. <antipode>Which Guix also kind of has, in the form of package variants inheriting from the original and adjusting the inputs (modify-inputs) or arguments (substitute-keyword-arguments), but it's more separated from the 'lazyness' concept and it appears to be different. ***mark__ is now known as mjw
