<lechner>actually, maybe it doesn't have to be. the generation is one field in the boot parameters. i can look for it there <lechner>nvm, it's not in the boot parameters record <lechner>and i didn't feel like touching those records, which are versioned <apteryx>ieure: thanks for the searx suggestion, I'll try that for a while <Maciej_Kalandyk>Is there a way of fix(?) list of people to which patch have been sent to? asking as i have submitted it without running teams.scm <lechner>Maciej_Kalandyk / just mail it separately and copy the bug <lechner>Maciej_Kalandyk / or you can send them a brief link to the bug <Kolev>Does GDM show window managers installed by the user? <apteryx>it's supposed to magically cause a magnifying glass icon to appear in the URL bar, which would 'install' the add-on <Andronikos>Are packages checked for reproducible per platform? I assume the same package has different hashes for x86 and arm. Is this correct? <ekaitz>different platform -> different hash <ekaitz>can anyone help me understand tuning-compiler function in guix/transformations.scm? <ekaitz>efraim: I don't understand why we (search-next "go")... <Andronikos>"herd status" shows me that "networking" service failed to start. How would I find the logs to debug the issue? <efraim>ekaitz: I remembered why! the (search-next "go") checks that go is available, but the string=? that comes after it makes sure we're actually only wrapping the go binary <sneek>Welcome back efraim, you have 3 messages! <sneek>efraim, antipode says: IIRC, instead of building a Rust cross-compiler, I ‘merely’ used the native Russ cross-compiler and passed it the equivalent of --target=.... (OTOH, I only started doing it, I didn't get to the point where I build an actual application). <sneek>efraim, antipode says: those "[target.STUFF] STUFF" look familiar, though. <sneek>efraim, podiki says: are there some build jobs that need to be (re)started for mesa-updates? Last I saw on QA coverage looked stalled (but I can't load the page today so...) <efraim>podiki: I've restarted some of the builds on berlin <ekaitz>efraim: oh good! i did the same for zig <efraim>I see it in my inbox, I'll look at it tonight or tomorrow <ieure>Anyone have tips for debugging package builds? I'm hacking on a package for my default web browser (Librewolf), it's building fine, but the install steps need tweaking. Which means I have to rebuild it, wait 45m, then go poke at the kept build to see what went wrong. Is there a faster way to do this? <ieure>Ideally, I'd be able to run the exact build steps in the recipe interactively and pause to inspect the inputs/outputs. <ieure>If I understand, that's difficult, because the build runs as a process of the daemon, which users don't have direct access to. <Andronikos>and last time I asked, it seems there is no build cache <Andronikos>(had the same problem with building taking ages and failing) <ieure>Andronikos, Yeah, I'm aware of that, but it's not ideal. <Andronikos>I always need to build Docker on ARM. Does someone know why for Docker no substitutes are available but for many other ARM packages? <podiki>efraim: thanks. let me know if you see anything else that needs attention; I'll just keep an eye on builds and keep up to date with master <efraim>/gnu/store/8m38kssi4g8gl9pddpb305z5i3vl8456-alacritty-0.12.3/bin/alacritty: ELF 32-bit LSB pie executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /gnu/store/3vz4r4q3n1is3f63m7c2xwqbpfhm0ais-glibc-cross-i686-linux-gnu-2.35/lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, stripped <Franciman>Network Manager (in the person of nm-applet) tells me i don't have enough privileges to connect to wifi <Franciman>but shouldn't I be able to do that from a normal user as well? <apteryx>Andronikos: you could start your investigation on ci.guix.gnu.org <Franciman>one more question is: what is the approprate way to set libinput params ? <Franciman>i would usually define them in /etc/xorg.conf.d/ <Franciman>is there a way to set them in the operating-system def? <tribals>I'm trying to help some completely-windows guy to learn the Way, so he decided to try it out in VM. Unfortunately, he has only windows-y VM manager (called hyper-v >_<). So the only way he currently can proceed is to create a hyper-v VM and install Guix in it using installation ISO. The problem that such an ISO doesn't start in such a VM out of the box <tribals>I'm guessing I'v found some modules that needs to be present in ISO initrd, but - how to add them? Can I myself produce identical ISO but with modules added? <tribals>There is another way: I can produce not an installation ISO, but "just" image of a system, then boot VM from it. There is problem, too. He can't explain what is the virtual hardware emulated by hyper-v, and I can only gather that information when I actually boot working system. Neither of those can be done for now. <tribals>(Meaning that he can't explain, so he can only proceed with "installation ISO" approach) <Andronikos>Nah it was just "test". Isn't "/msg triabls <my-text>" the way on IRC to text someone directly? <alxsim>Not sure how to correctly explain that, is it possible in a local channel to superseed the name of an existing package in another channel? <alxsim>I'd like to do something like inherit a package and keep it's name but just change the version and the hash <alxsim>couldn't find if there was a rule somwhere about order priority or what happens when names clash <alxsim>want to try to use a latter version of a package (in nonguix but I don't think this should change the use case) <alxsim>and --with-version is not helpful <alxsim>so the build is succeeding when I inherit the package and give it a new name in my local channel <alxsim>but this is a bit annoying because I'd like to keep the name the same so I don't have to adapt the uri field, which depends on the name variable
