<Guest9513>a question occured to me while reading throught the guix reference manual and I wasn't sure whether or not I could do this, but I wanted to know if it was possible to name or title any of my guix system generations? <Guest9513>ieure, Thats a shame, but thank you for answering in a timely manner. <vhns>I just reproduced it myself <ekaitz>Rutherther: i think we use bobot++ <ekaitz>and I believe the specific code was in some of the guix-maintenance or so projects, or that's only the archiver? <Rutherther>I was mostly curious what makes it welcome you :D <gabber>Rutherther: i guess feeding it snacks regularly makes it more friendly <ekaitz>Rutherther: the bot loves me, I know you are jelous but it is what it is... <Rutherther>guess I am going to be jealous until end of my life <Rutherther>how are you logging in and what is your shell in /etc/passwd? <ColdSideOfPillow>I've set some environment variables with `home-bash-service-type`, and they don't seem to apply. <Rutherther>I think gdm doesn't run a login shell (anymore). But I am not completely sure <cow_2001>why can't guix shell --profile work with --emulate-fhs? <futurile>cow_2001: total guess, but --emulate-fhs requires --container, and I'm guessing you're not sharing the the right directorys for the profile part to work <cow_2001>futurile-afk: when i use --container and --profile, i cannot use --emulate-fhs <Rutherther>cow_2001: correct. emulate fhs adds glibc package and you cannot use --profile with other packages specified <bartleby>Hey does anyone know if the default x86_64 linux image of guix system contains a legacy bootloader? I have dug through the files and have only find efi files. I did this because I am working with a legacy only machine. <identity>bartleby: pretty sure you should be able to boot it through BIOS if that is what you are asking <Kolev>Sigh. Nginx is hard. See topic "Radicale" on help-guix. <bartleby>identity: I just end up getting a blinking cursor when ever I select the usb as a boot medium. Does the installer need internet connection from the very beginning? That is the only other thing I could think of as an issue, other than my old computer just being strange. <cow_2001>Rutherther: oh, i see. what if i add it to the profile? <vhns>Would it be considered a bug if a record-type accepts exclusively (list ...) and not '( ...)? <vhns>Yeah, it *should* be the same thing <vhns>Maybe I am being stupid, I'll test it once more <vhns>Rutherther: I am able to reproduce it, (outputs ...) under (sway-configuration ...) exclusively accepts (list ...) and not '( ...) <Rutherther>vhns: are you sure you're passing it sway-output objects and not symbols called sway-output? You would need unquoting for that... so you cannot do it with ', only with ` <vhns>it is exactly as you said, but I can't understand why <Rutherther>because the second is like doing (list '(service home-sway-service-type ...)). You're quoting it. To be equivalent to the first one it would have to be `(,(service home-sway-service-type ...)) <vhns>is there something I could like print to demonstrate/understand it better? <vhns>like printing stuff in option a would return x and printing stuff with b y <Rutherther>vhns: sure you can just print the array and you will see the difference
