<lechner>marty: Hi, I use NFSv4 but have not been able to get it to mount at boot. Like you, I would actually prefer an auto-mount. Do you plan to use PAM for that?
<marty>lechner: I'm coming from debian-based OS and have my org files on a nfs share. I usually just add a line to the fstab and it mounts at boot. To mount it immediately, i use 'mount -va'.
<marty>lechner: So, I do not plan on using PAM. I have the nfs server on my home lan and it is configured to only serve to certain ip addresses.
<lechner>marty: I also switched from Debian to Guix four years ago, but I've not been able to get the NFS mount to wait until networking is available (and not just started). With a line in /etc/fstab, do you actually use automount?
<s0ph0s>Hi! I'm trying to configure KDE Plasma on X11 in a VM, and for reasons I don't understand, there seem to be no window borders. I modified the default qemu image to replace xfce-desktop-service with plasma-desktop-service and configured SDDM. I can send my full config.scm via a paste service in a minute
<s0ph0s>There we go: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/58bfeefb
<s0ph0s>I'd appreciate any help you folks can offer with figuring out what I've misconfigured to prevent the window decorations from appearing :)
<switchy>hmm I don't see anything patently obvious!
<s0ph0s>Exciting lol, I love when I create baffling problems by accident
<s0ph0s>Web searches for these symptoms on other distros suggest that it might be caused by kwin not being installed/running, but I have no idea how to configure that in Guix
<GalaxyNova>what is the preferred way of generating the hash for a package?
<GalaxyNova>I always end up using a placeholder hash and then trying to build the package and then copying the expected hash
<GalaxyNova>but that is not always very efficient
<jamiahx>hello
<lechner>GalaxyNova: Please change the zero to a one, or vice versa, and then build. It's stupid but that how everybody does it. Do not leave the hash unchanged or more weirdness will come your way.
<GalaxyNova>ah
<apteryx>is the plug definitely pulled on repology.org?
<apteryx>ah, registrar problems: https://github.com/repology/repology-rs/issues/560
<switchy>s0ph0s: well, rather unhelpfully I added sddm and plasma to my vm and it just worked...
<s0ph0s>switchy: Thank you for trying that, I suppose that means that the other stuff which the default VM image does for XFCE is probably interfering with KDE. I'm going to comment all of that out and try just SDDM and Plasma
<st1ry>hi i was wondering if anyone was having the same issue with kde starting really slow
<efraim>looks like while using my cross-gccgo I end up trying to link with the host glibc instead of the target one :/
<efraim>cross-glibc was in the CROSS_LIBRARY_PATH and then CROSS_LIBRARY_PATH gets set again and it is removed
<marcms>Hello, my issue was solved yesterday thanks to neox
<marcms>The issue was caused by a bug that makes the Nvidia GPU to crash, so I added a line that disabled nouveau driver
<marcms>(kernel-arguments '("modprobe.blacklist=nouveau"))
<avigatori>o/
<avigatori>Is this normal?: I am missing sections of the man pages. I only have man1, man3, man5, man7 and man8 in any of the directories of $MANPATH.
