<ryanprior>gnubio: I am very curious about your text duplication issue. The fact that it is not exact duplication, but has slightly different nuances, makes me think the explanation must be very interesting <vagrantc>wild guess ... some sort of translation system? <ryanprior>has to be something like that. something spicy <bdunahu>if I have two channels pulled that provide the module `gnu services foo`, can I select which one I get a symbol out of, or is that a broken setup? <bdunahu>nevermind I haven't even tried to pull yet, I am going to do something else <futurile>AFAIK you can't specify which module will be called, it's undefined behaviour <futurile>it's a general guile question, you might want to ask in #guile <cnx>hello guix, when is a cross-compiled (--target) package used instead of a natively/emulatedly built (--system) one? <gabber>you usually tell it to build one or the other <gabber>cf `guix build` or `guix system` and their --system and --target options <mwette>Does guix have a way to check git commit or tag signatures? <gabber>mwette: you mean apart from checking the checked out repo via `git log --show-signature`? <mwette>I'm trying to decide how I should sign my repo products for guix, and curious what checks guix makes, if any. <ieure>mwette, Tags/signatures on the repos of software it builds, or of guix itself? If the latter, `guix git authenticate' does that. If the former, no. The shas in every package are what verify its integrity. <mwette>ieure: Thanks. That's the info I was looking for. <Guest28>mwette: guix refresh does check the signature of gnu.org packages <vagrantc>ieure: heh. my librewolf issue was effective an out-of-memory issue ... my /tmp was on a 23GB tmpfs, and there was enough room for the build ... but not while doing a memory intensive compile ... without enabling some swap :) <ieure>vagrantc, I usually have substitutes whenever the update goes to master, since I use a fairly beefy Cuirass box to build stuff before I open the PR. <ieure>But sometimes, other commits sneak into master in between that and the merge, which change the derivation. <vagrantc>ieure: sometimes i get a substitute, sometimes i have to buidl on my mnt/reform rk3588 ... long as i remember to enable swap i'm good. :) <pathera>hey im having some issues with my config file ive tried to swap to lxqt but after i started it in the sddm it just comes up to a black screen with my cursor. however the other ones ive tried have worked like mate.
