<PotentialUser-28>yo, I'm trying to download and I'm getting a 502 Bad Gateway from nginx
<st1ry>hello is anyone else kde plasma start slow? it shows the plasma logo for a couple of mins then boots into the desktop
<PuercoPop>Is there a way to check if a (mixed-text-file contents will/would be empty to don't include the file if its empty in the configuration? Currently this is what I'm doing https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/src/commit/fb2b9f600618b0c55206d52ef30d47b76114691b/gnu/home/services/git.scm#L73-L75
<PuercoPop>but I'm tyring to figure out a good strategy for the gitconfig file
<mskiptr>can I somehow resolve those hints to install =glibc-locales= when using Guix on a foreign distro without having to manage a profile with the package?
<mskiptr>I don't want to use =guix install= nor =guix package= on this particular system. And besides, =guix shell --container= won't even see such packages anyway, right?
<PuercoPop>In the go-build-system, why are some go dependencies listed as native-inputs vs propagated-inputs?
<Nessah>st1ry: hi there! KDE Plasma hangs on the splash screen, it's a prpblem with that specific component. Current workaround is to disable the splash theme completely and the desktop will be usable more quickly
<apteryx>I'm confused by guix build imgui --with-debug-info=imgui` -> file /gnu/store/lgpasfi6b1avda3l00r6fxhmd5lw4ary-imgui-1.92.2b/lib/libimgui.so => stripped
<apteryx>checking the actual strip-binaries? argument its phases get passed shows it's still #t
<apteryx>ah, I guess if you use '--no-grafts' you defeat it
<apteryx>exactly
<f1refly>gst-plugins-good build failing for anyone else on the matroskademux test?
<protvin>Guix resources and mail archive on main GNU domain looks like now available in Russia, if it is not a packet filtration system failure (:
<protvin>GNU mail lists are a very dangerous resource) I know it has been blocked twice.
<Guest14>what is the best way to include the configuration directory itself in the qcow image I am building, so I can directly configure it further in the VM itself? I can't use home-file-service-type since that would put it in the store and make it read-only
<Guest14>basically I have a directory with my system.scm, home.scm and dotfiles which I want to be already included as well
<avigatori>o/
<avigatori>I fudged my pull request https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/11028 I used the agit workflow for the first time and thought the topic parameter set the title of the PR and not the branch name. Should I re-submit it?
<Deltafire>haha, i did exactly the same thing - i think the documentation could be improved
<Deltafire>the spaces in the branch name caused some issues when i tried to force-push some changes
<Deltafire>although it got through in the end.. so no need to re-submit i don't think
<avigatori>Ok, thank you!
<gerogaga>Hi, I've accidentally formatted my EFI partition. I've chrooted into the install with the 1.5.0 image (the latest one had a kernel panic) but I can't get DNS resolution to work. What can I do? I've sourced all the profile files listed in the documentation if that matters.
<Rutherther>gerogaga: what's in /etc/resolv.conf?
<gerogaga>Only a "# Generated by resolvconf" comment.
<gerogaga>I assume this has something to do with that openresolv migration from a little bit ago?
<Rutherther>I have no idea, but try putting your preferred nameserver there... ie. "nameserver 1.1.1.1" on next line and try the resolution again then
<gerogaga>That has worked for a ping at least. Should I do a guix pull before reconfiguring?
<untrusem>gerogaga, you should pull
<gerogaga>Alright, thanks.
<untrusem>there was some openresolv related commits after 1.5.0
<gerogaga>I'm chrooted in, my system postdates the openresolv commits.
<gerogaga>Adding nameserver 1.1.1.1 hasn't worked beyond the ping, but I also haven't restarted NetworkManager or anything. And I don't know how to, since Shepherd isn't available.
<gerogaga>And apparently dhcpd fails due to not being able to find a config file.
<untrusem>gerogaga, did you look into some openresolv issues?
<untrusem>there might be a hint to it
<untrusem> https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/issues?q=%22openresolv%22&type=all&sort=relevance&state=closed&labels=&milestone=0&project=0&assignee=0&poster=0&archived=false
<gerogaga>I'm working off of an old commit, it used to work.
<gerogaga>This is probably a chroot issue more than anything else.
<untrusem>did you read the chrooting section in manual
<gerogaga>Yes.
<untrusem>best way is to go through the installer until you setup the network
<untrusem>then jump back to console
<gerogaga>That failed the first time I tried it, but worked this time.
<gerogaga>Strange.
<Deltafire>gah, at some point the ability to select the headphone output on my desktop computer has stopped working
<untrusem>pavucontrol might help
<Deltafire>trying that now (after scrolling back through bash history to remember the name!)
<Deltafire>yeah, that worked.. i wonder if it's a problem with Gnome
