<Tadhgmister>does anyone regularly use eglot or lsp-mode in emacs for language servers that aren't directly packaged for guix?
<Tadhgmister>like the typescript language server is supposed to be installed globally with npm and I obviously would rather not rely on that with guix but other than packaging the language server and all its dependencies which would be completely infeasible for just me, I'm not sure how to deal
<azval>qbit: did you get any reply for the guix box issue with tramp ?
<azval>I personally added in tramp-remote-path 'tramp-own-remote-path, and since then I dont get that issue
<PotentialUser-84>Hello guys, has anyone had experience in installing Guix on a Toolbox with Fedora Silverblue as host?
<futurile>PotentialUser-84: I don't - but there was someone who did - I think I saw a blog post, try a search
<csantosb>Hi Guix ! Someone knows if it is possible to filter codeberg's pr by its approval status ?
<bdju>It seems Guix's version of Gajim is quite behind now and there's a new major 2.0 release from February based on GTK4. It would be cool to see that updated! I am unable to help, personally, but I thought I'd mention it here in case anyone is bored/free. :)
<andreas-e>You are optimistic, but I am afraid everyone is already overwhelmed with things to do :)
<andreas-e>If you look at the issues and pull requests on codeberg, where we are starting "from scratch", people work away on them, but the queue is growing nevertheless.
<bdju>I wouldn't go so far as to say optimistic. I don't expect an update any time soon, but I thought better to plant the idea in someone's head than say nothing while I go on waiting.
<bdju>I've put some stuff on the Guix Wishlist 5+ years ago now that's never been packaged, I think.
<bdju>I don't recall if there's an official list/process for update requests or I'd do that. Seems somewhat out of place on bug-guix.
<andreas-e>Well, it could be a wishlist issue on codeberg. But I consider it rather hopeless, few people will want to spend work on packages they do not need themselves.
<apteryx>there's an odd non-deterministic bug in 'guix shell -C': guix shell: erreur : unshare : 268566528: Argument invalide
<apteryx>after a couple tries, all good
<jlicht>apteryx: I run into it too; guix shell -C ghc-xmobar has it fairly often on my machine, and looking into reducing the set of packages eventually leads to it happening less and less for me
<apteryx>I'm creating an issue for it. I think it's a serious one.
<jlicht>I do think there was one already: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/78356
<apteryx>jlicht: interesting. I've reported it anew here: https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/issues/1169, cross-referencing the old bug.
<jlicht>apteryx: I might be seeing patterns where there are none, but under load my system does not seem to be able to reproduce this
<apteryx>looks like some kind of race
<jlicht>so it may have something to do with certain things happening too fast ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<apteryx>yeah, and maybe only on very parallel systems (many cores).
<apteryx>how many cores does your cpu have?
<apteryx>can't seem to reproduce with strace... must slow it down enough ^^
<jlicht>apteryx: 32
<z572> #<inferior-object #<&formatted-message format: "failed to determine which compiler is used\n"
<apteryx>jlicht: same. ryzen?
<jlicht>apteryx: yup!
<apteryx>same
<apteryx>something in common for that bug!
<z572>It seems that the eval error has been recurring on ci recently
<apteryx>jlicht: using sysdig I could catch some trace (sysdig is much faster than strace)... trying to see if there's something interesting in there
<jlicht>apteryx: just ping me here if you would like me to check something
<fanquake>I can recreate https://issues.guix.gnu.org/78356 with a fresh install of Guix (via install.sh), on Ubuntu, and just running guix shell -C hello
<fanquake>Fails every time
<fanquake>(fails after doing a guix pull, to update)
<futurile>fanquake: you also might have https://issues.guix.gnu.org/71226
<fanquake>futurile: possibly. I guess that isn't Ubuntu specific?
<fanquake>The exact same happens on Alpine, for example
<fanquake>and Fedora
<futurile>ah fair enough - I know Ubuntu has that problem because they changed AppArmor. If you're issue isn't specific to Ubuntu then I guess it may be #78356
<fanquake>My issue is really just follow the instructions at https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html instructions , i.e install.sh, guix pull, and then try use -C
<fanquake>I feel like I must be missing something, cause i don't see how that could have been broken for new installs on most linux for a month or two
<fanquake>Initially thought it was borked installs/similar, thankfully using a pre-break time-machine for now
<futurile>I don't know - try asking on guix-devel, I'm not sure if anyone is actively looking at that issue
<dodoyada>anybody use their computer ONLY via terminal? no wm at all? I set up a laptop like that as a backup server but I'm considering going that route for a while and see how I like it
<lockbox____>fanquake: did you bisect it? If not do you have some commits you could toss into an issue that are known good/bad?
<fanquake>lockbox____: iirc its the same commit in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/78356
<fanquake>I can take another look
<fanquake>guix time-machine --commit=e1a0171a56602ecba193975ea2438329abb51c94 -- shell -C hello works
<fanquake>guix time-machine --commit=a57ed987ffd1452ba5a4d70feb54893e99b8e076 -- shell -C hello is broken
<fanquake>Same commit as https://issues.guix.gnu.org/78356
<bavier>does shepherd cache logfiles? Just trying to figure out why herd is using 2G of RAM on my system.
<ieure>bavier, There was a guix-devel discussion recently, there's a memory leak.
<bavier>ieure: oh, interesting! will check it out, thx.
<bavier>ACTION can't keep up with all the discussions usually
<rkazak2>Hi, I am trying to use guix pull and see the following (https://paste.debian.net/1385432/) message
<luca>where did you get that link from?
<rkazak2>That is the link I pasted my message into :)
<rkazak2>I thought I updated my channels to use codeberg but it does not seem to be looking there...
<luca>I mean the "https://git.guix.gnu.org/git/guix.git" link. I can't seem to find it in guix anywhere. It should be https://git.guix.gnu.org/guix.git
<rkazak2>Hm, let me check - thanks I missed that
<rkazak2>oh - I edited my channels.scm incorrectly! Thank you.
