<zilti>Any ideas on how to solve this?

<efraim>between Debian's time64_t transition and the difficulties in having a working powerpc install CD I'm having a hard time getting my second ppc build box installed :/

<dev_to_ops>Hello, everyone.

<dev_to_ops>I can't get virt-manager going. libvirt-service-type is in my config. My supplementary groups contain libvirt and netdev. I installed ovmf and qemu, but it shows no UEFI and no network devices.

<dev_to_ops>Am I missing supplementary groups, or something?

<gabber>downloading from ci.guix.gnu.org is incredibly slow (with ~25KiB/s)

<apteryx>sneek: later tell dev_to_ops I think you also need (service virtlog-service-type), and add your user to the "kvm" group

<sneek>Got it.

<attila_lendvai>gabber, sometimes i see that too, but it speeds up after a while

<hapst3r>podiki: nice article! I found small error:

<hapst3r>"Corrupted by through this error" (duplication)

<gabber>attila_lendvai: it's trying to spawn a `qemu` shell for about an hour now (all downloads are that slow)

<civodul>new blog post! https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2024/adventures-on-the-quest-for-long-term-reproducible-deployment/

<podiki>hapst3r: thanks!

<podiki>civodul: for a typo fix, do i just push the change directly to guix-artwork? or need to do anything else?

<civodul>podiki: you can push directly!

<efraim>yay blogposts!

<podiki>civodul: great, will do today then

<lispmacs[work]>hi, emacs-hyperbole 8.0.0 is broken, and 9.0.1 was just released officially. Should I file a bug report requesting the upgrading, or does some process get emacs-hyperbole upgraded soon automatically?

<lispmacs[work]> https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=69338

<peanuts>"#69338 - invalid-regexp error in FAST-DEMO - GNU bug report logs" https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=69338

<podiki>lispmacs[work]: there are no automatic upgrades

<podiki>if the 9.0.1 release also fixes this bug, that would be a two for one and a patch would be welcome

<lispmacs[work]>just curious, does somebody manually upgrade those 27,000 rust packages in guix?

<efraim>it's only around 4000, and yes

<efraim>"only"

<lispmacs[work]>probably some three line emacs function ;)

<lispmacs[work]>M-x upgrade-all-the-rust-stuff

<festerdam>civodul: It seems the qemu image for me also gets in a state where the boot disk check fails if boot up the freshly downloaded image and do nothing other than «guix pull» followed by «sudo guix reonfigure /run/current-system/configuration.scm». I guess I can try again, but with verbosity at max to get more info.

<festerdam>*if I boot up [...]

<festerdam>*reconfigure

<efraim>are odd minor versions of gnome libraries beta releases?

<jakef>hello, wondering if anyone may be able to help with a library path warning I'm getting from cmake, before I go and write to the guix-help mailing list

<jakef>CMake is emitting a warning about potential conflicts between library paths for libEGL.so.1 and libGL.so.1, indicating that libraries in my Guix profile (even when it is a shell -C --pure ephemeral profile) might be hidden by those in the Mesa package

<pkill9>how did I fix moc segfaulting?

<podiki>jakef: what inputs (or packages in profile)? i think libglvnd is one that supplies those, others are in mesa

<civodul>festerdam: sounds bad; could you report the exact step to reproduce the bug to bug-guix@gnu.org so we don’t lose track of it?

<jakef>podiki: one of the inputs is qtbase-5, which i think has mesa as a propagated input, hmmm

<thaenz>Hello, anyone experiencing trouble guix pulling? I'm getting `zstd-error'

<thaenz>Throw to key `zstd-error' with args `(decompress! 18446744073709551596)'.

<thaenz>substitution of /gnu/store/6h039q8d5rh1liis3ch9wxq7f387a7c6-guix-packages-base failed

<thaenz>Ops I didn't think it would paste that right into chat

<thaenz>However ^ to be more exact

<thaenz>I haven't have trouble before with guix pull and the only thing I've done since last pull other than configuring my /etc/config.scm is 'guix gc'

<efraim>looks like I fixed building llvm-17 on riscv64

<podiki>nice

<podiki>jakef: might help if you share (paste) the package definition or whatever is you are trying to do

<festerdam>civodul: Ok. I will do so.

<civodul>anyone has experience with ‘.git/hooks/update’?

<civodul>i thought it’d be invoked upon ‘git fetch’ or ‘git pull’ but that’s not happening

<trnry>Isn't update specifically a server-side hook? So it would be ran when someone was pushing to that repo

<lispmacs[work]>just wanted to say thanks for Ludovic's interesting blog post today about reproducible deployment, if he is listening — very interesting

<civodul>thanks for the kind words

<civodul>trnry: actually yes, you’re right

<civodul>so i wonder which one i should use to react to ‘git pull’ or ‘git fetch’

<civodul>can’t find it in githooks(5)

<trnry>It's been a while, but I belive post-merge will work for you on a pull, but I don't know of anything that works with a fetch

<civodul>doc says it’s invoked by ‘git merge’ though

<civodul>‘post-checkout’ might work

<thaenz>Is that a personal blog? I'm looking for more feeds to add :)

<lispmacs[work]>guix blog

<lispmacs[work]> https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/

<thaenz>aha I guessed so since I didn't find it in my searches

<thaenz>I'll have a good read when I come home then! Now off to the gym, goodbye o/

<apteryx>jpoiret: libblockdev appears to build now

<festerdam>civodul: I want to attach the output of system reconfigure to the report. However tee only saved 7 lines (I'm using tee because the full output doesn't fit in the terminal window). How do I tee the full console output of guix and could the last lines leading up to the warning that some services could not be upgraded suffice?

<zyd>Is there a good guide or series of tutorials on the mail development workflow (with git)? Asking here because I read a post on the fediverse that claims the mail workflow scares people away (compared to web pull requests). One of the more interesting things they pointed out was the lack of a documented setup. Does Guix or similar mail-oriented projects perhaps elaborate more on this?

<Altadil>zyd: There is https://git-send-email.io/ (an interactive tutorial).

<peanuts>"Learn to use email with git!" https://git-send-email.io

<mik3d>Hello GUIX, i was lost in nix, trying to debug an issue, trying to recompile from scratch and then I found guix and i saw autoconf and was very comforatable, thank GNUS!

<mik3d> https://github.com/meta-introspector/guix?tab=readme-ov-file#why-this-fork here is my fork with some notes on how i am trying to build from scratch

<peanuts>"GitHub - meta-introspector/guix: Read-only mirror of GNU Guix ? pull requests are ignored, see https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/en/guix.html#Submitting-Patches instead" https://github.com/meta-introspector/guix?tab=readme-ov-file#why-this-fork

<jonsger>did we had a world rebuilt recently merged into master? I'm trying to fix the CVE in guix-daemon but, but on my desktop machine it downloads tons and tons of packages...

<mik3d>this is the error i get running the standard guix (and nix) on gcp tpu server /gnu/store/5kj8lyybjrdl7xd0fx9g9vzkz8s

<mik3d>klqsy-guix-1.4.0/bin/guix-daemon: error while loading shared libraries: libunwind.so.8: cannot open shared object

<mik3d>file: No such file or directory

<mik3d>but my version I compiled works!

<thaenz>I just want to add to the record that my problems with `zstd-error' is now solved and I just had to wait a few hours

<mekeor>zyd: there are also info manual nodes: "(guix) Submitting Patches" and "(git) Submitting patches to a project"

<ieure>jonsger, I pulled last night and didn't have to rebuild.

<mekeor>zyd: there's also https://gitlab.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/HACKING.org#making-a-patch-and-submit-to-the-guix-project as mentioned in "(guix-cookbook) References"

<peanuts>"HACKING.org ? master ? Pjotr Prins / guix-notes ? GitLab" https://gitlab.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/HACKING.org#making-a-patch-and-submit-to-the-guix-project

<mekeor>please, kill peanuts, it's just flood, so embarassing

<peanuts>mekeor: Hi, for comments please contact my maintainers at https://codeberg.org/lechner/irc-helper-bot

<mekeor>lechner: please, thanks

<mekeor>at least disable "post-page-title"

<zyd>bots should send a notice rather than messaging the channel directly. very noisy

<zyd>mekeor: thanks

<civodul>festerdam: i guess you could do something like: guix system reconfigure … 2>&1 | tee log

<lispmacs[work]>hi, I'm wondering if there is a way I can get all my guix operations (install, build, pull, etc.) to run with different nice and ionice priority levels/classes. But I think it is not enough to run "nice guix install" etc. because these tools just communicate with the already running daemons, correct?

<lispmacs[work]>I'm looking here at the options in guix-configuration

<lispmacs[work]>doesn't appear that guix daemon has any relevant options, other than just controlling the max jobs and cores

<lispmacs[work]>is there always only one guix daemon that does the work?

<lispmacs[work]>I could just renice / ionice it, I suppose

<lispmacs[work]>after every power up

<lispmacs[work]>it appears that other daemons are launched buyt that at least the niceness is preserved

<vagrantc>Wow. guix 1.2 has impressive substitute availability for being so old. :)

<vagrantc>although, i'm unable to run the code that checks for the receent CVE for guix-daemon

<vagrantc>guessing there is maybe some guile 3.x specific code or something?

<vagrantc> https://paste.debian.net/1310628/

<peanuts>"debian Pastezone" https://paste.debian.net/1310628

<vagrantc>huh. could've sworn there was a post to guix-devel about the CVE ... there's the detailed blog post ... but no CVE
