<nckhexen>The ambiguity isn't really Go-specific. The ‘tool’/library distinction *is* fuzzy and somewhat arbitrary. <mohamed>I have a problem, I don't have linux headers, For exemple when I try to compile a c program usung limits, I have an error, it tells me that I don't have <linux/limits.h> <mohamed>I tried with linux-libre-headers from (gnu packages linux) inside my home.scm but I didn't change the result. Should I put it in my system config ? <nckhexen>Is it in the same profile as gcc-toolchain? <mohamed>nckhexen : yes I pu gcc-toolchain also in home.scm <mohamed>I tried to reload my zsh profile but no change <nckhexen>If you're using a custom shell, perhaps it's messing with your environment? <lamp1400>i am trying to communicate with mariadb, but the DB does not respond. Wich is the standard service operating port? <nckhexen>mohamed: It shouldn't be. Check without zsh etc. For example, if you use ‘guix shell --pure gcc-toolchain linux-libre-headers’, you'll see that it should be set and to what. <nckhexen>When packages share a profile, they can request ‘search paths’, which are just environment variables that are provided by other packages. Looks like something is clobbering or preventing that. <nckhexen>If you're sure that gcc-toolchain & linux-libre-headers share a profile, it must be the clobberin'. <nckhexen>(Or there's a bug in guix home, which seems unlikely.) <lamp1400>nckhexen: but i can't connect to the db by this port <nckhexen>lamp1400: Does ‘sudo lsof -i’ show anything relevant? *nckhexen also away, actually. o7 <mohamed>nchhexen: I will try your suggestions, thanks guys *nckhexen ret, but not for long. <nckhexen>lamp1400: What do you mean? I thought you said mariadb. The service is called mysql, but the process should be called mariadb. <nckhexen>Do you mean it's listening on the ‘mysql’ port (3306/tcp/udp)? <nckhexen>You can use -n to ask lsof not to look up service names. <nckhexen>You can also share the output on paste.debian.net. <nckhexen>But it runs mariadb by default, unless you ask it not to. <lamp1400>nckhexen: output "mysqld 4889 mysql 19u inet 53529 0t0 TCP localhost:mysql (LISTEN" <nckhexen>So it's listening or port 3306 (see /etc/services). <lamp1400>nckhexen: the nextcloud is not connecting <nckhexen>What error message(s) do you *actually* get? <nckhexen>I'm not familiar with either NextCloud or MariaDB, so the more info you can give, the less unlikely it is I'll be able to be useful… <nckhexen>If there's a /var/log/mysql, it might contain application-level information detailing what went wrong. <nckhexen>Ah, it's /var/log/mysqld.log, says databases.scm. <nckhexen>Worth a try. Same goes for NextCloud, assuming it logs at all. <lamp1400>Error while trying to create admin user: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in the driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory <nckhexen>‘No such file or directory’ (which???) is the bane of my existence. <nckhexen>Thanks for the system configuration, but I think the NextCloud settings need to be inspected. Like, how is it trying to connect (port or socket?) and which database file is it trying to open (does it exist?) etc. <nckhexen>I recommend connecting to mysql (mariadb) using the command-line client first, to make sure the server is up and running, which seems to be the case. But I can't give you more specific instructions, sorry, I'm a Postgres person… <nckhexen>Do you know your way around a MySQL command line? <nckhexen>I'm no NextCloud expert, but I don't *think* your error is Guix-specific at this point. <nckhexen>More like you need to manually make them find each other, by pointing NextCloud to the right DB settings, and possibly creating these DBs first. This is all ‘stateful’ stuff that isn't (yet) handled by Guix at all, so the steps should be similar on any distro. <nckhexen>I've got to go, sorry I couldn't be of service, but good luck. <lamp1400>nckhexen: i'm connecting by port and the data folder of nextcloud exists <lamp1400>last thing, log of nextcloud: Operation not permitted at /srv/http/www.brigadadigital.tec.br/lib/private/Config.ph ***daviid` is now known as daviid
<podiki[m]>sneek: later tell civodul I think because of glibc-for-fhs being added to the ad-hoc packages before/after what the user specifies? not sure, will see if I can come up with a fix but can confirm glibc (regular guix) can appear instead of the fhs version <linj>is it possible to use /boot on btrfs raid1 on luks on 2 devices? <podiki[m]>sneek: later tell civodul throwing in a reverse for options/resolve-packages in (guix scripts environment) would fix it... so maybe just make sure glibc-for-fhs appears last? <vivien>I have an error doing pull with the following channel (save it in a.scm, add it to a guix repo, use it in a channels.scm): <vivien>(define-module (a) #:use-module (guix store) #:use-module (guix monads)) <vivien>(define b (run-with-store (open-connection) (mbegin %store-monad (return #t)))) <vivien>(the define is not required, (run-with-store (open-connection) (mbegin %store-monad (return #t))) does the same) <vivien>Could someone tell me what I did wrong to deserve the error? <johnabs[m]>Hi all, is there an easy way to remap my caps lock to esc in config.scm? I saw the keyboard layout section in the manual, but I don't think that's wha tI'm looking for. Also, does anyone else experience applications like element-desktop or signal-desktop being unreasonably slow, while other gui apps are quite snappy? I've never experienced this on other distros. <johnabs[m]>Another quick one hopefully: is the "commit" field required for the channels.scm entries? If I remove it, does it just use the most recent commits when I run "guix pull"? <unwox>signal and element are electron apps so they are usually slower than qt/gtk apps <thecom>hey, i can't figure out how to use guix in ~guix system vm~ <thecom>the qemu vm boots fine, but if i run any guix command inside the vm, i get /gnu/store read-only filesystem errors <thecom>i'm on a foreign distro (arch), maybe that's relevant? <johnabs[m]><unwox> "signal and element are electron..." <- Right, but my ancient thinkpad handles them flawlessly whereas my shiny new 12thgen i7 machine shows an embarassing amount of (what appears to be) input lag for some reason :/ <lilyp>perhaps some performance vs. efficiency core thing? <johnabs[m]>Maybe, but I'm skeptical; are there other electron apps you'd recommend I try first? If I understand correctly, electron apps are basically just webapps packaged with chromium. So if I install chromium and observe the same/different behavior, would that indicate something more useful? <johnabs[m]>Strangely, it does appear to be input related, as both keyboard entry, and moving my mouse over areas that are highlighted slows things down a lot, but I can build packages and surf the web in the background no problem <lilyp>hmm, I'd try google maps in chromium – or any browser really – that caused me some problems with my nvidia card for example <johnabs[m]>Ah, this may be an issue: I got this when I ran chromium from the terminal: [17091:17091:1022/023512.812980:ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported. Any ideas? <lilyp>hmm, try something that makes extensive use of 3d and report your framerate <lilyp>3d accel should be supported on most intel cards, but if it's a shiny shiny new one you might have found one without <johnabs[m]>Any suggestions there? And should I try them in chromium/firefox, or should it be an independent program? <lilyp>any program is fine, but stuff that needs a browser or wine exacerbates this <lilyp>try opening github.com for example, it hated my nvidia card <johnabs[m]>Same on chromium too, but the input lag is BAD, same with the other apps <johnabs[m]>Also, here's my processor: Intel® Core™ i7-1260P Processor <johnabs[m]>Oh and the little globe animation is CHUGGING on chromium <lilyp>okay, so IOW chromium sucks and electron by extension <johnabs[m]>Okay, so just passing --disabl-gpu fixes it..... <lilyp>johnabs[m]: "in other words" <lilyp>perhaps signal doesn't honour disable-gpu; try to find out why <johnabs[m]>lilyp: Oh, I thought it was some sort of jargon xD Thanks for the clarification <johnabs[m]>I do find this quite strange that the performance is so dramatically improved. Even the video refresh-rate of signal improved to probably 50fps minimum from around 15-20 previously.

I would like to introduce "guix ostree" that would create a binary pack of a set of packages and commit it to an ostree channel <vivien>If I can do it in my channel it would be easier than changing the guix code base <vivien>(not an ostree channel, an ostree repo) <lilyp>vivien: I think you can, guix home was/is distributed via rde's channel <jpoiret>iirc it uses the guix extensions mechanism that is not documented :) <vivien>Do you have an URI for this channel? <jpoiret>zimoun used it in a lightning talk at the 10years event <unmatched-paren>vivien: To do a Guix extension, you need to install a module to share/guix/extensions/*.scm <unmatched-paren>and the module needs to define a command called guix-* using define-command from (guix scripts) <vivien>unmatched-paren, can I do this in a channel, or do I have to package the extension? <vivien>That’s a bit awkward because hall won’t install my files inside share/guix/ <jpoiret>i think if you just add a module to the guix/scripts/ subdir in a channel it will also work <lilyp>that talk will be a cookbook entry once things have been ironed out <jpoiret>since commands are resolved by just doing (resolve-interface `(guix scripts ,command)) <jpoiret>not guaranteed that it will work with -L though <vivien>Nevermind I can still do "guix time-machine -C <file with guix and my channel> -- command" <abralek>Is there a way to add service user (the one from activation step) to some extra supplementary-groups? <vivien>I’ll plagiarize (guix scripts show) <lilyp>abralek: if it's a new user account, you can just customize it however you want <lilyp>if you want to modify an existing one, no <abralek>Yeah, it is not new.

<lilyp>don't do that; instead discuss on the ml which group to add and why <lilyp>or add an escape hatch to add more groups to this account <abralek>adding a hatch is possible, but that would not rely on /etc/groups. In the first case it is also wired. In my case i want to run git-daemon and gitolite. They use different accounts. So I need git-daemon be in group git. But someone would just want to have git-daemon only. No need for git group in that case <civodul>podiki[m]: hi! could you report a bug for the --emulate-fhs issue? <abralek>lilyp: why do you think that service is a bad idea? <abralek>hmm probably because of the lack of order during the start.. <lilyp>imperative sux, declarative rocks <lilyp>why can't gitolite run its git whatever under the git user? <lilyp>assuming it needs to do so in the first place <unmatched-paren>lilyp: hi, may i ask some questions about your review of my home-emacs-service-type? <lilyp>I'll just paste you my handwritten shepherd.scm (a fragment of it anyway) <unmatched-paren>why should i use one, though? what advantage does it provide over a forkexec constructor? <lilyp>it starts as-needed, meaning once you start your first emacsclient <lilyp>disadvantage is that shepherd doesn't currently clean up the socket nicely, but that's a bug <unmatched-paren>also, i think we should stick with ~/.local/var until we collectively agree that it should be replaced, and replace all instances of it at once <unmatched-paren>with "you should collect the emacs package plus lisp packages into a profile": do you mean add the lisp packages to the home-profile-service-type? i was explicitly trying to avoid that with the manipulation of the environment variables <unmatched-paren>and for an "escape hatch for additional elisp files": do you mean something like an ``extra-lisp-files'' list of extra files to be ``load''ed on startup? <unmatched-paren>lilyp: also, since i use make-forkexec-constructor for both start and stop, so that kill-emacs-hook is run when emacs is stopped, should i retain the stop make-forkexec-constructor and just change start to make-systemd-constructor? <unmatched-paren>or should i change both to make-systemd-constructor, or something else? <lilyp>not loaded on startup, just put in the directory <lilyp>i don't think kill-emacs-hook changes between constructors, does it? <unmatched-paren>okay, cool. thanks. i'll try to figure out how to generate a separate profile. <lilyp>and I very much think we shouldn't proliferate the status quo, it will only make the switch to xdg conformance more painful <unmatched-paren>lilyp: hmm, okay. so, ${XDG_STATE_HOME:-$HOME/.local/state}/log as the log directory? <lilyp>note that shepherd itself already does this <lilyp>so it should probably be ~/.local/state/emacs/log or something like that with log being a regular file <unmatched-paren>i might send another patchset to convert the rest of the home services to XDG conforming state directories... ***fanta1 is now known as fanta1|away

<abralek>lilyp: Technically we can, but for example gitolite has to have a shell and git-daemon doesn't <abralek>maybe it would be better to define git group in both services at the same time.. <unmatched-paren>lilyp: i'm not really clear on how i would apply a profile's search paths to the service <unmatched-paren>would i just write a function to convert a search path into a key=value string? <vivien>>:( guix pull won’t care about any modules in (guix …) in my channel <vivien>It just pretends share/guile/site/3.0/guix is just the main guix channel <csepp>just to gauge the state of things, is someone working on upgrading gtk+? there are a few irritating bugs that I hope would be fixed by an upgrade. <unmatched-paren>csepp: it *might* need to be updated in staging or (worse) core-updates <csepp>unmatched-paren: i looked at staging on cuirass and it has the same version. <csepp>guix refresh -l says it has 2811 dependents? not sure how to interpret its output. <jpoiret>csepp: the output is saying that the package has 2811 indirect dependents, but that you can check that everything builds by only rebuilding the n leaf packages listed <lilyp>unmatched-paren: see set-search-paths, but more easily you can source that profile's etc/profile <lilyp>csepp: if you can fix it with a graft, that can go to master <unmatched-paren>lilyp: yes, but i'm not sure how i'd possibly apply that to a service <lilyp>there could be some super cool env hack that I don't know of, but my thought was more like using guix's apis inside shepherd or doing something similarly clever <lilyp>but since you're trying to pull this into #:environment-variables, try utilizing evaluate-search-paths <nckhexen>sneek: later ask antipode: Have you successfully used mosh on the Telenets recently? <Lumine>Happy bots make for a better world! <antipode>nckxhexen: I haven't ever used mosh at all. <sneek>Welcome back antipode, you have 1 message! <sneek>antipode, nckhexen says: Have you successfully used mosh on the Telenets recently? <antipode>In case this is about network trouble: I often can't connect to imap.telenet.be on '4G', don't know if that's related. <nckhexen>Specifically UDP (the SSH part connects fine, so does regular SSH), and on their Wi-Fi (although I expect it not to matter if it were wired). <nckhexen>It's new since a few weeks.

I'm wondering what the optimal priority should be set as, right now I have it on 10, which seems very low looking at the maximum size <apteryx>Lumine: it's not very important unless you also use a normal swap <apteryx>it's just a crude way to give priority to one above the other, IIRC <Lumine>Well I do have a normal swap space, which is smaller in size than the zram <Lumine>Guess I'm wondering which takes takes the lead currently <lilyp>I think I solved my spooky input device case <nckhexen>Lumine: Whichever has the higher priority. <Lumine>That's odd, swap space's priority is -2 <johnabs[m]><unmatched-paren> "because i found that the gpu..." <- Hey paren! Yeah, it's the 12th gen, but I'm also using "full" linux from nonguix, but maybe I need to specify that driver somewhere in my config? <nckhexen>So each swap space added later will have a lower priority than the previous one. <nckhexen>Lumine: This leaves the positive range for human-specified priorities. <nckhexen>See (guix)Swap Space for how to do that. <johnabs[m]>unmatched-paren: Thank you so much for your help!! 😄 <nckhexen>antipode: Nope, they just firewall UDP port 60001.

On the bright side, we're gonna publish it soon, but I was looking forward to giving my first invited conference talk q.q <unmatched-paren>lilyp: By the way, I'm not sure I'll be able to use search paths like you suggest to replace the (env-var ...) procedure, because of the seeming special-casing of Emacs directories with subdirs.el <unmatched-paren>if i use search-paths, i'm pretty sure it'll return the #$output/share/emacs/site-lisp directories <unmatched-paren>whereas it needs to return the #$output/share/emacs/site-lisp/$NAME-$VERSION directories <unmatched-paren>and of course since those vary from package to package, i don't think search-paths will be able to handle them <jeko>efraim: do you see those options to be part of a guix home service or do you think of something else ? <jeko>unmatched-paren: thank you for the link ! <efraim>jeko: I'm not sure how I would implement it, but it's not part of guix home ATM <efraim>the package transformations to use a different commit/tag for git is already part of package transformations though <unmatched-paren>jeko: Do you envision such a Guix Home feature as "if this directory does not exist, clone such-and-such git repo there?" <jeko>efraim: alright! as soon as i get my emacs config managed though guix home, I will do some experiments then <jeko>unmatched-paren: thats what I was thinking about. <jeko>when I setup a new PC I would like to have all the git repo i am working on at the right place after a guix home reconfigure <unmatched-paren>because if you were to do it like you're suggesting, you'd lose all your unpushed work, and you'd lose your HEAD position <jeko>the unpushed work is not what is bothering me. it's more the several and manual `git clone` I had to do <unmatched-paren>you'll probably want to do something with activation-service-type in a simple-service <jeko>unmatched-paren: interesting ! <unmatched-paren>(service (service-type (name 'name) (service-extension foo-service-type (lambda (config) VALUE)) (default-value #f))) <unmatched-paren>so, basically, it lets you extend a service without writing a whole new service-type <jeko>yeah I find examples of this in other guixters'repo haha <jeko>I will then look for example of the activation service you mentionned ! <jeko>unmatched-paren thank you for your advises ! I now what to do tomorrow ;) <unmatched-paren>jeko: I *think* the VALUE for home-activation is simply a gexp to be run on reconfigure <lilyp>unmatched-paren: you could use search-paths with the profile <lilyp>build an actual profile and evaluate emacs' search-paths on it <lilyp>or evaluate the profile's search paths, same thing really <Andronikos>Is it possible to see the actual logs instead of just build phase if I install packages via guix install <package>? <nckhexen>dgcampea: Likely so, since that case doesn't involve changing the configuration. <nckhexen>You can always—well, no often—view previous build logs with ‘guix build --log-file PACKAGE’.
