<sham1>TIL that the thunking on the services-field of <operating-system> record makes it such that certain dynamic values like parameterize values don't necessarily work as expected <robin>does guix have a requirement to have automated tests for system services? for example, for an ldap client service, would it be required to also package a server for testing purposes? <robin>(not sure if there is some policy, i was told that it was) <robin>(also ldap client is just in that area; i realize that could be confusing since there are already ldap tests) <futurile>robin: not that I'm aware of; if you look at the git log for services you can see examples of them being added <futurile>robin: there's a documentation requirement, but I don't see a system service requirement - maybe that's a nice to have <robin>thanks futurile, i see that there are alternate ssh servers and core services being added w/o tests, so i think it was just overstated yeah <gabber>running `guix refresh -u klayout` i get: "guix refresh: error: mkstemp: Read-only file system". what am i missing? <gabber>have never used `guix refresh -u` before <csantosb>Try `./pre-inst-env guix refresh -u klayout` inside Guix dir <csantosb>gabber: By the way, it is not that big ! guix/guix#9361 <csantosb>I guess that lots of deps compensate each other <gabber>csantosb: do you have any idea how to trick the naja build into not trying to git download its dependencies? <csantosb>gabber: Every time I look at naja, they have changed everything; seems not really stable at this point <lilyp>does anyone know how to disable colored output in `guix build`? <mattl>lilyp: what does `echo $TERM` return? <mattl>you can try `TERM=VT100 guix build` <lilyp>tried vt100 and xterm-mono, still outputs escape sequences <ekaitz>I tried with TERM=dumb and still <gabber>does cmake-build-system not automatically set the env var CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL ? <old>lilyp: set NO_COLOR=1 ? <gabber>maybe we should persist this somewhat obvious but arcane knowledge somewhere <futurile>anyone know if you can add HTML to Haunt markdown posts? <ekaitz>futurile: if you can use sxml you can add raw html by adding (lambda () ... something that puts HTML to current-output-port when called ... ) <jo65>Hallo, I am new here and want to install guix-system 1.5 (virt VM) but the installation failed. I have send the reports. <ekaitz>futurile: or you mean a full html post? <futurile>ekaitz: ack - I think the Guix main site does that - was kinda hoping to avoid sxml - it looks like Haunt in Guix is carrying a custom patch, but I can't figure out what it's doing <jo65>The installer want to install an i386 maschine, which I dont have. <ekaitz>futurile: maybe ask dthompson about it, but I'd say you wan write your own writer (or is it a reader?) <futurile>ekaitz: yeah, gah, so not up for writing my own writer, that may be even more work than using sxml heh heh (asking on #guile) <jo65>Yes, thank you. I want to follow and try this. <dthompson>futurile: yes, you can, but it's not automagic right now. <mlxdy>Hi, I'm going to internships with my Guix laptop. The last time we needed IntelliJ Community Edition. It might be also C# or something so I wonder how to prepare my system for work like this. I don't want to install anything proprietary and I might be forced to install proprietary components. I was thinking about container <mlxdy>I heard about Distrobox, can you recommend that solution on Guix? <ieure>mlxdy, If there's a Flatpak, that might be the simplest way to get it running on Guix. <mlxdy>Well, but I was thinking about distrobox container with Debian. It will give me better isolation between proprietary software and my system. <mlxdy>I have old guix installion media and can't install system, because of error cannot redirect from git.savannah... to https.git.savannah <mlxdy>I added codeberg mirror to channels.scm, but it change nothing <sham1>You can set the URL it uses with the --url flag <sham1>Anyway, IntelliJ IDEA is no longer split along the lines of Community Edition and Ultimate Edition <sham1>As to how to run it, you can also use a guix shell container <mlxdy>Also I would like to know - is Mate DE shipped with gdm? <sham1>In the default %desktop-services -- at least on x86_64-linux -- you'll get gdm, yes. No matter what desktop environment you use <sham1>(modify-services %desktop-services (delete gdm-service-type)) <sham1>It's thankfully easy to take out, and then you can just use lightdm or what have you <sham1>Oh, startx is slightly more complicated <mlxdy>I would like to go with other login manager <mlxdy>So probably lightdm with Mate <mlxdy>Now I have permission not permited during installation, I'm in root <mlxdy>linking from something to something not permitted <sham1>Screenshot? Photo with a phone? <mlxdy>Impossible right now. I'll just install newer iso without these problems <untrusem>how do i make xp-pen tablet to work in guix? <look>untrusem: not a xp-pen user (i have a wacom instead) but I suppose the 'making it work' part must be similar <look>there are a couple of different ways of doing this, but what I do is add an udev service to operating-system services with the OTD rules and bind it to a group <ieure>untrusem, Did you get a chance to look at the LW 150.0-1 PR? <untrusem>look: I just needed to install libwacom that's it <untrusem>i did and gave a reaction, you know I can't actually build and test it :p <ieure>untrusem, Alright, thank you. <Icy-Thought>Do we have a YT Music alt somewhere? I could not find pear-desktop, and I am lost to what else there is.. <jlicht>attila_lendvai: I wasn't recommending anything in particular, I just remembered (smart) folks working on something semi-related to what you were talking about :-)
