<lechner>Heterochromium: No.
<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.
<sneek>Okay.
<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>Can DHCP give out hostnames, too?
<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
<vibecoping>interesting, ryanprior
<dukester>lechner: LOL right! I already know a bit of scheme, so it shouldn't be too painful.
<lechner>dukester: Jyst be cateful, or you'll become a SIPC fanatic in no time! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_and_Interpretation_of_Computer_Programs
<lechner>sort, poor spelar
<Guest4902>ACTION Hi all. Please check if this can help you. https://shorturl.at/4TvSs
<lechner>spam
<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.
<Heterochromium>alulo: Alright, thanks.
<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`.
