<lechner>In Guix, you have your own personal installer. <lechner>Also, I'm glad you fixed. Thanks for using Guix! <lechner>sneek: later tell PotentialUser-96: I commented on Codeberg. <Heterochromium>`Error: CopyFrom("/gnu/store/cwacd2bhgcv9igzbpdv14bninb384nv6-anki-client-25.09/share/anki/.python-version") "/home/$USER/.local/share/AnkiProgramFiles/.python-version": Permission denied (os error 13)` <Heterochromium>Does anyone know how to solve that error? It occurs when attempting to install Anki. <dukester>distro tire kicker here. Does a person have to be a scheme lang pro to setup guix? <lechner>No, but you will be one when you're done. <vibecoping>I've got about 15 PCs that I want to join to the same network. Does guix have a way to boot as a small stub, load a system from the network into memory, and then provision "whatever disk is available" as a single cache drive on every boot? <ryanprior>vibecoping: you can push packages & services onto guix system hosts, so if you create a minimal guix system image with SSH setup, then you can deploy your desired services onto them and configure them to use the disk as a cache or whatever <vibecoping>I know it usually goes the other way, but I like this idea of "just a bunch of computers" <ryanprior>I have never set it up that way but I assume it's possible <vibecoping>Imagine the whole world evaluating and sharing resources by announcing what's available and having the machines guess-as-best-they-can what would be best for the job. And other fantasies that fit in one sentence really cutely. <ryanprior>sounds kinda like a service mesh, are you familiar with that space <dukester>lechner: LOL right! I already know a bit of scheme, so it shouldn't be too painful. <alulo>Heterochromium: My best guess is that it's copying the read only store path. Anki is coming from nonguix, you should let them know there's a problem with the package. <alulo`>Anytime. One more thing, you could probably try to chmod whatever is in AnkiProgramFiles or that specific .py file to get it running now, though I have no idea what it does or if it would actually work. Good luck with getting it fixed one way or the other! <Heterochromium>What is KWrite called on Guix? Apparently, it's not called `kwrite`.
