That's nice. <ss2>Nope, unfortunately not. I just asked for a refund of a third brand. <ss2>And a new one from China. <ss2>I'm seriously considering to get into the business myself on replacing the batteries. But for that I need a (fireproof) workshop. <nckhexen>I have (extremely briefly and hypothetically) considered trying that… <nckhexen>I'd rather pay someone but that doesn't seem to be an option. <nckhexen>I've had extreme luck (that's it really) with the eBay stock I bought so far, but my model's not as old as yours is yet. That won't last. <ss2>There's not a high enough demand to do it. I'd be qualified in doing such things, but I'm not trained well enough for it. ***wielaard is now known as mjw
<unmatched-paren>I did have an issue once with TLP on my last laptop, when I tried using it on Ubuntu; the kernel panicked when I shut it down. <nckhexen>ss2: Oh, I meant a friend or acquaintance. I agree it's not a viable business. Have fun even shipping them. <nckhexen>unmatched-paren: OK, you've made an excellent case not to bother trying TLP after all, thank you. <unmatched-paren>I think I'll stick to thermald, which has the rather significant advantage of being under the intel/ organisation on GitHub <unmatched-paren>nckhexen: Eh, it'll probably work much better on a ThinkPad. And I'm not even sure it was TLP that caused that. <unmatched-paren>Besides, I used it on Guix System on my last laptop for ages with zero issues. <ss2>I'm pleased with tlp. But yeah, I did mention that it is trial and error to get it right. You're system will crash. It gets even worse with docking stations. I was determined enough that I could at least keep my laptop switched on in this summer's heat wave. <nckhexen>Okido. I'll let you know if I ever try it, and especially if it goes boom. <nckhexen>Silly question, but why do you both use these services to begin with? <ss2>To run them at a lower temperature. Nothing else. <nckhexen>Does your machine overheat without them? Significant batter life? Something else? <ss2>Try idling a laptop that was designed for room temperature at 30--35 <nckhexen>ss2: So it's not that the machine shuts down if you install a distro and just start using it. <ss2>°C room temperature. <nckhexen>Well, I'd (perhaps naively) expect that to feed right back into the temperature & hence feedback loop, and it would just downclock sooner, possibly always. I don't really understand why the core temperature sensors would ‘care’ or make assumptions about how much heat they *could* evacuate… But then I'm no TDP science man. <ss2>no, they'd get so hot you couldn't touch them anymore. Like 45--50°C around the case. With TLP it all went down to 39,40. Surprisingly the biggest difference was with the SSD. <nckhexen>Interesting (your SSD comment was what prompted my original message. I'm pretty sure I have the same SATA link state by default, but with those results it now bears double-checking. <ss2>the problem with, for instance my model, is that the sensors where designed around the fact of the machines themeselfs heating up, but the fan is not designed to remove the heat from the whole case. Only the CPU. Which is just a design error, unless you sit in an air conditioned room on a cool table. <nckhexen>Right. I guess that was my real question, and I was indeed a bit naive. <ss2>yeah, I never realised that SSDs can be such radiators. But that has to do with the controller not downclocking. <ss2>tbh, the more modern laptops from the last five years have gotten significantly better, since the main goal has been to keep the battery running for as long as possible. <ss2>that wasn't the case 10 or 15 years ago. The goal there was more throughput and a bit powersaving. <sektor[m]>Ther we go, making progress. My problem was that I misheard #~ as #`; not so sure how that happened. <ss2>It makes a difference though. With my settings, my battery would last 6 hours (okay, the quality lacked) from 3,5 hours. <unmatched-paren>ss2: Ah, makes sense that you'd want to get the temperature down as low as possible if you live in a place with summer heatwaves. Fortunately, we don't get serious summer heatwaves (yet; thanks, global warming...) here (in the west of Scotland, not known for warm temperatures :P) <ss2>nckhexen: "dodgy battery replacements", that's why. <nckhexen>When I was (extremely reluctantly) choosing a 'phone, it was very interesting to read vastly different reviews on performance & throttling and after a while realising there was a geographic pattern. Mostly India. The subcontinent murders bad cooling, apparently. <ss2>unmatched-paren: yes, that's the reason. I've been caught in crazy heat waves the last years now and since I've turned my focus on to keeping machines just as cold as possible. <ss2>Even having to remove plastic modems from being screwed against walls. Everything just melts now. I've even gone that far to move cpu intense processes into the night. Machines will just pop right up to 70°C and don't really want to burn through them either. <hnhx[m]>i mean i live in hungary so the weather here should be similar but i didnt notice overheating in any of my machines <unmatched-paren>I suspect the heatwaves will eventually catch up to us, given the horrific heat in London and the wildfires across England last summer. <jonsger[m]>apteryx thanks for migrating icedove to gexp! Could you assist me in making the "thunderbird-sources" in native-inputs a gexp as well? I tried in the past but failed... <ss2>It can be very dry and humid here where the heat will sit for weeks. I'm adjusting to it now. <Kabouik>I'm facing a "fatal error: linux/limits.h: No such file or directory" when installing some package in R. I think limits.h is something that comes with kernel-headers and/or kernel-devel in other distros, what would be the way to install/compile those R packages in Guix? <Kabouik>Eh, that will probably be a significant deal breaker for me, there are far too many R packages to install or even just try before understanding they're not the solution <Kabouik>R is a statistical software with its builtin packages, not really a package manager <unmatched-paren>You can use the package managers, it's just better to make Guix packages. <Kabouik>So for emacs plugins, Guix users also favor Guix packages over emacs builtin plugin manager? <Kabouik>I thought those plugins (either for R and emacs) work only within their "parent" program, so installing them with Guix seems a bit overkill to me (especially if one needs to write the packages definitions in the first place) <unmatched-paren>Actually, we also have quite a few R packages, since many Guix users are scientists. <Kabouik>That was my understanding too, but for instance we don't have r-ggplot, which is massively used in R, and I can't imagine no one in the Guix community uses it <Kabouik>We even have Guix packages that work in combination with ggplot <Kabouik>I knew the actual package name is ggplot2 (ggplot is the function), but was confused because `guix search ggplot` returned a lot of other packages before that one, I missed it <unmatched-paren>Kabouik: Also, you don't have to write the package entirely yourself. <Kabouik>But then I have to test it, submit a patch, and wait for its inclusion, while my statistical problem is still pending <unmatched-paren>Kabouik: Well, you already have a collection of local packages that haven't been upstreamed yet, haven't you? <unmatched-paren>Kabouik: You could also consider starting your own channel for these packages. <Kabouik>I can't imagine telling my intern "Err, yeah apparently we need that package to solve your issue. I'll submit a patch to Guix and then I can help you. Hold on." I'm joking of course, I'd probably try to package it and build it locally first, but in some cases this may be a huge time sink even if not waiting for a merge <unmatched-paren>You do have a point, of course. You could maybe use package.install() in the short term, note the package's name down, and then, when you have time, make a Guix package for it. <Kabouik>(Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining or ranting, I'm trying to clearly understand the workflow of other R uses in Guix before making choices and going in a way that could be suboptimal) <Kabouik>Typically, should I install packages in my user profile (guix install), in my system (guix system reconfigure), or in some specific profile for R (I don't intentionally use multiple guix profiles yet so I wouldn't know how to do it)? I'm asking because I think every `guix command` gets a tad longer every time I install a package in my profile. Currently with 185 packages it's already much longer than it used to be. <Kabouik>Could grow substantially if my R packages are installed through guix ***MysteriousSilver is now known as vetrivln

I usually just use the `opam` importer for guix to add packages to a guix.scm file that I use `guix shell` with.

Interesting about guix.install(), I didn't know about that one. Cool.

Maybe that assumption is dated. <nckhexen>If people just keep typing until their bell dings, it's not ideal, but it shouldn't be common IMO… <unmatched-paren>It seemed to me that going a *little* past 80 was quite common, so i just went a little above. <apteryx>there's usually easy ways to keep things under 80 <unmatched-paren>nckhexen: Aha, if I do :display-fill-column-indicator-mode it displays a ruler. <nckhexen>Right.

How do you control an Emacs procedure outside of Emacs? <nckhexen>I see :, I think vi(m). :display-fill-column-indicator-mode does not look like an emacs command. <nckhexen>I thought it was some fancy vim thing (I know raw vi, but I know vim is different). <nckhexen>I'd say no, it's just a list of facts which is not copyrightable, knowing full well that doing so opens up a can of worms for many existing copyright lines in Guix :) <nckhexen>I'm not hungry though so I'm not going to open it.

What do you think: would it be acceptable to include an example that uses the Guix Science channel? <rekado>the example is about running a Guix System container with an RStudio Server system service, which currently resides in the Guix Science channel. <apteryx>rekado: is the Guix Science channel committed to the FSDG? <rekado>only free software goes there, but there will be more bundling or gnarly javascript packages <apteryx>it could be more convenient to not require the use of a channel and demonstrates with just what's included in Guix proper, but if there's a good reason to demo Guix Science, I think it'd be OK. <two[m]>is it possible to get search paths not as bash commads, but as a simple `PATH=/gnu/store/...` like format? <two[m]>(from guix shell --search-paths) <rekado>I guess I could limit the example to Guix services and reserve the RStudio / Guix Science stuff for a blog post … :) <rekado>two[m]: should be possible through the Guile API <unmatched-paren>so ``export PATH="/gnu/store/.../bin:/gnu/store/.../bin${PATH:+:}$PATH"'' would become ``PATH /gnu/store/.../bin /gnu/store/.../bin'' <nckhexen>two[m]: It's not Bash, by the way. :+ is POSIX shell. <rekado>this will print all environment variables to be set as FOO=bar pairs. <unmatched-paren>nashdidan[m]: use-moduling does absolutely nothing but bring a module's variables into scoke <unmatched-paren>nashdidan[m]: you do need to specify (native-inputs (list pkg-config)), yes <nashdidan[m]>Does is matter that pkg-config is actually already installed...? I'm not sure <unmatched-paren>a package's build environment won't be able to pick up anything outside it, by design <jcmdln>Anecdotally, how long does `guix system init` take for others? I think I've been waiting an hour which seems like I might have an issue in my `config.scm` <jcmdln>The messages have differing sizes so it appears to be doing something <unmatched-paren>You do have to download quite a lot of stuff when you're initialising your system. <rekado>jcmdln: depends on your connection to ci.guix.gnu.org and whether you’re able to download binaries for the version of Guix you’re using. <jcmdln>Sure, though my `config.scm` declares a handful of packages. I'm doing a minimal install as part of building a VM in Packer. <podiki[m]>unmatched-paren: home-dbus-service is...for running a dbus daemon as a user? <unmatched-paren>It's for things like Mako (which I'm making a home-service for) which require a session-specific D-Bus to work <podiki[m]>speaking of services, I need to prepare peroxide packages and service for submission; just been putting off cleaning up ~30 go packages <unmatched-paren>so now i can write (requirement '(dbus-session)) in home-mako-shepherd-services <two[m]><Cairn> "Nice!" <- unfortunately it has the same error again <jcmdln>Ah, looking at `traceroute ci.guix.gnu.org` it's my ISP that has a bad/slow route. Sorry for the noise and thanks for the quick feedback unmatched-paren rekado ! <Cairn><two[m]> "unfortunately it has the same..." <- Darn! Not sure what to say then. <gunnargrop[m]>Hey everyone! I'm very new to Guix so excuse me if this is a stupid question, but how come GDM can't launch a Gnome Wayland session, but SDDM can? <cbaines>gunnargrop[m], the GDM can, it just needs configuring to do so <gunnargrop[m]>cbaines: Oh okay, thank you. I read the documentation on desktop-services where it states you'll need to use the "sddm-service instead of GDM as the graphical login manager" if one wishes to use Wayland, so I assumed it really was the case <cbaines>gunnargrop[m], you're potentially reading the documentation for the current release. Things have got better since then :) <gunnargrop[m]>cbaines: oh I think I was! Thats great news, thank you for the link :) <two[m]>i only see it makes build fail because it replaces unicode characters with question marks <unmatched-paren>description: The linker wrapper (or `ld-wrapper') wraps the linker to add any missing `-rpath' flags, and to ***emacsen_ is now known as emacsen
<lechner>Hi, is anyone using podman? I see Error: open /etc/containers/policy.json: no such file or directory <gabber>i get a "guix home: error: no target of type 'activate' for service 'wireguard'" when trying to add a wireguard service to my home configuration. does wireguard-service-type only work for system configurations? <unmatched-paren>And they come from (gnu home services ...), not (gnu services ...) :) <unmatched-paren>There aren't that many right now, but I've sent a few patches adding more, and I'm working on one right now. <mroh>It's a feature: There is always something to hack on :) <gabber>unmatched-paren: sounds cool! what services are you currently working on -- if i may ask? <unmatched-paren>gabber: I've sent home services for senpai and dbus, and I'm working on one for mako <unmatched-paren>i'm also going to write a service for configuring the aerc mail client <jab>unmatched-paren: not to bad-mouth guix home...but is it me or are their services a little different than system services? <jab>as in, system services seem more abstract and further away from the actual configruation file <jab>unmatched-paren: maybe I'm being a little weird... <jab>I thought I vaguely recall someone's sway home service and it felt a little low level to me. <jab>again not to point fingers. I am glad that we have it... <jab>unmatched-paren: it must have been in RDE then... <jab>does guix home support creating arbitrary directories? <jab>my use case would be create Documents, Downloads, and then softlink those files to docuements and downloads <jab>maybe I will have to give that a try. <unmatched-paren>which allows you to execute arbitrary code on ``guix home reconfigure'' <unmatched-paren>sure, you could probably do something using (simple-service) and home-activation-service-type. <jab> will add that to me list of things to try <unmatched-paren>jab: this'll probably work: ``(simple-service 'create-desktop-directories home-activation-service-type #~(for-each (lambda (dir) (mkdir (string-append (getenv "HOME") "/" dir))) (list "Documents" "Downloads"))) <jab>unmatched-paren: thanks! <gabber>unmatched-paren: awesome! i have my self-rolled emacs-background-daemon home-service running. do you think such a thing would be of interest upstream? <unmatched-paren>home-emacs-service-type would be a welcome addition to many peoples' configurations <jab>unmatched-paren: have you asked for commit rights? <jab>I think I have 2 or 3 commits max. :) <jab>unmatched-paren: it makes sense. <jab>unmatched-paren: should we try to merge your create home directories service? <jab>unmatched-paren: I would submit to you that newbie users may have a hard time creating directories via home service w/o that bit of code. (guess that makes me a newibe) <jab>also, if you disable that simple service 'create-desktop-directories...would those directoies still exist? <jab>just as a thought experiment...is that what we would want in that service? <jab>not trying to poke fun at your code. You did just get me that much closer to using guix home. So thanks for that! <unmatched-paren>that allows you to do this kind of trivial service extension without writing a whole service-type <jab>unmatched-paren: what if I wrote a proper service that created those directories. Would an actual service written out be helpful for guix home? <jab>I'll add it to me list. <unmatched-paren>There's probably another service-type for gexps to be run when the service is remove <rekado>the dummy package in gnu/system/images/wsl2.scm will need to have its license field changed <jab>unmatched-paren: that's a good idea!
