<PuercoPop>ftpmirror.gnu.org has been down for at least a day afacit. <PotentialUser-42>it's weird that it's been down for a day but not switched over to the non mirror :/ <PuercoPop>incidentally that means that guix-install.sh silently fails due the wget call in bin_ver_ls not being checked for failure <PuercoPop>Switching it is not an automatic procoess. I assume it is an LLM-induced DDoS? <PotentialUser-42>no idea. I just want to mess with a different OS in a VM and thought I'd try Nix/Guix and found out Nix has links to fascism <PotentialUser-42>also, even though it's not an automated switch, if people are aware one assumes someone would take the action to update the linkl <PotentialUser-42>also, even though it's not an automated switch, if people are aware one assumes someone would take the action to update the link <Elwood_Soup>I've installed guix to an emmc module for a RockPro64 using 'guix system init', but the bootloader isn't recognizing the installation. I've tried specifying the device by path and UUID. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? <ieure>Elwood_Soup, Well, the bootloader itself is doing the right thing, that's usually the hard thing to figure out. Are you sure the UUID is correct? What does blkid report for the microSD? <Elwood_Soup>ieure: I'm running Debian with Guix off the MicroSD. I'm installing Guix to the EMMC. If I boot into Debian with the EMMC attached and run lsblk, the uuid for the ext4 partition matches the one it's looking for in that boot log. <ieure>Elwood_Soup, Oh, it has onboard EMMC? <ieure>I was assuming the microSD was the only EMMC. <Elwood_Soup>and yeah, it has a emmc module in addition to the SDCard slot <ieure>Elwood_Soup, Based on the error message, I think it should be the PARTUUID. Unfortunately, all my setups use LUKS, so I can't readily look at my config and tell you what works. <Elwood_Soup>ieure: I'm trying the PARTUUID now, I'll keep you posted <Elwood_Soup>ieure: no dice. the bootloader is now looking for the correct PARTUUID and not finding it. <apteryx>looks like berlin is struggling again, I can't even ssh in <civodul>damnit, i’ve almost fallen out of IRC <Ofthemasses>Has anyone had issues trying to get icecat to do hardware decoding? Whenever I run vaapitest libva-drm.so.2 is reported as missing. The only way I can get it to find libva so far is to manually add it as a shared library... is there a better solution someone is aware of? <mfg>How exactly do I use the guix-cuirass-bot on codeberg? If it requested changes, how do I get it to revisit (do I even have to)? <civodul>mfg: it’s not interactive; it just eventually reevaluates your commits and reports back <mfg>Alright, that's good :) <mfg>Another question about styling: I remember that using (list ...) instead of '() was encouraged/used more often to get better legibility for non-schemers (?) Is this still a thing? I specifically think about the arguments field of a package definition. <protvin>Pulling is failing on guix-package-cache with latest master branch <fanquake>(exception unbound-variable (value #f) (value "Unbound variable: ~S") (value (swig)) (value #f)) <mfg>When I update a programming language and some packages we have packaged are not yet ported to the new version and are thus failing with it: What do I do with them? Keep broken until fixed upstream? Remove and add again once upstream ported it? <mfg>Or simply remove until someone asks for it again? <bremner>what device is being filled by "guix system image" here? guix/ui.scm:712:4: In procedure copy-file: No space left on device: "tmp-root/gnu/store/m1y19zim2a29vkpl623x019zyr1zxk88-guix-1.5.0-6.64d4de2/lib/guile/3.0/site-ccache/gnu/packages/rust.go" <bremner>none of my partitions (other than /boot) look very full <bremner>I guess it depends how big that image is. /var has 89G
