<citadel>After a lot of trying random crap I solved my pinentry problem by adding the gnome-keyring package to my guix home list of packages <LeonPaws>hi, does anyone know if gnu hurd works on the thinkpad t430? <gnufairy>Why is it called guix edit if it opens to an uneditable file in the store? In the guix manual it is referred to as seeing or editing the package definition. Does it mean copying what you see to a local file? <gnufairy2>I got this error when attempting to build doxygen from source, https://bpa.st/7SKXW. Commit 66b273d6a22cb47d5635dfa4947ba6e0cc94e5a1. It is a hash mismatch can anyone else confirm? <avalenn>how can I add package to user profile with guix deploy ? <sham1>sneek: tell gnufairy later that guix edit is mostly meant for editing local checkouts of the guix sources. So basically you'd use it with ./pre-env guix edit package <sneek>gnufairy, sham1 says: later that guix edit is mostly meant for editing local checkouts of the guix sources. So basically you'd use it with ./pre-env guix edit package <sham1>sneek: later tell gnufairy that guix edit is mostly meant for editing local checkouts of the guix sources. So basically you'd use it with ./pre-env guix edit package <sham1>mra: you have both a system-wide install of guix as well as the user install of guix, for example when you `guix pull`. You'd need to make sure that the latter also has the customisations you want <avalenn>can one home-environment inherit from an other ? <Rutherther>avalenn: sure they are just records, pretty much any mapping should be possible, there might be some caveats depending on what you want to do <avalenn>I am not yet sure of what I want to do. What seemed a good idea five minutes ago, seems too complicated and leading to spaghetti code just now. <avalenn>Is there a tool to clean the list of use-modules in a module ? My changes are always additive only on this part. <avalenn>Rutherther: interesting, I now wonder what is behind your compose function :-) <Rutherther>and compose is a built-in guile procedure, it merges multiple procedures into one procedure, like doing "(compose a b c)" instead of nested "(a (b (c d)))" <avalenn>I am far from this clarity or complexity but some things attracts me. <avalenn>I will repeat my second question now because it was probably lost in the middle of the conversation. <avalenn>Is there a tool to clean the list of use-modules in a module ? My changes are always additive only on this part. <untrusem>avalenn: guild compile -Wunused-module ? <avalenn>untrusem: never used guild, how can I add to it the load-paths of Guix ? <avalenn>nikolar: seems a personnal configuration and guix channel, a well-written one <avalenn>untrusem: using guix repl to extract %load-path and using GUILE_LOAD_PATH with all paths makes guild working, thanks for the tip <illybytes>hiiii, i wonder if there is anyone here that has experience with meson java projects? <illybytes>so im trying to modernize someone's android-translation-layer packag3 <illybytes>and it seems like, they changed alot of stuff <illybytes>i have mostly figured out the stuff except that for some reason, meson always adds -Xlint:all <illybytes>which takes priority over -Xlint-deprecation that the project does <illybytes>okay figured out that -Dwarning_level=0 kinda fixes that <illybytes>but now i have new issue where meson says Executables createf by java compiler javac are not runnable <halloy6566>I am new to this Liberachat, is this just a quiet channel, or did I need to set up a "bouncer" (As I think I read in some documentation) to get the messages people may be sending when I am not connected? <protvin>How soon bug with installion been fixed in master? <bjc>it's a quiet chat most of the time. sometimes it is quite busy <bjc>ime the backscroll gets read and responded to, but it can take a while, depending on who's around and what they know <Icy-Thought>interesting! Did not encounter that during my instal <mra>sham1: oh, that's a bit odd to me. when I modify guix-service-type, I guess I'm modifying the system-wide guix? but I'm not modifying anything else, so is the user guix defaulting to the base package or something? <meaty>why do `guix time-machine` and `sudo guix time-machine` require duplicate downloads of the guix repo <meaty>this is problematic because my connection is slow and the download keeps failing due to "error: Git error: unknown error". does anyone know how to mitigate this or get more error info <meaty>it's annoying because the system definition is already built in the store, but i can't reconfigure because of this redundant download <yoruka>Hello, i was wondering if anyone knows if kde plasma is stable on guix at this moment. I am trying to install it but i get a bunch of issues. splash screen takes way longer then usual, going to the wallpaper settings crashes whatever app is trying to launch it. So if i run it through the settings it crashes settings, running it with right clicking the desktop and selecting the wallpaper option crashes the <yoruka>entire shell. Newly installed software also does not appear in the application menu until you rebuild its database <yoruka>I am still new to guix so i feel like i might be doing something wrong as well <sneek>Welcome back gnufairy, you have 1 message! <sneek>gnufairy, sham1 says: that guix edit is mostly meant for editing local checkouts of the guix sources. So basically you'd use it with ./pre-env guix edit package <gnufairy>yoruka, other DEs work better such as Mate or especially XFCE <yoruka>i really like plasma that's a shame <folaht>Hey there, I have issues with two user channels. Do I ask here or at #whereiseveryone? <ieure>yoruka, Please file issues if you encounter them. I don't have anything running Plasma at the moment, but I have run it in the past and it's been stable. <gnufairy>ieure, it is stable but loading takes a while and connecting to wifi keeps bringing up the Kwallet popup and its very annoying <lechner>I tried to run Plasma recently on old equipment and gave up. <gnufairy>lechner, plasma on Guix defaults to Wayland, if the hardware is like this X200 I am using it can cause issues with Wayland heavy stuff. <lechner>gnufairy: OK, thanks! That explains my troubles. <gnufairy>lechner, if you are using Intel Mobile 4 chipset (Penryn) era hardware, I would recmmend using DWM, you can find package definitions online...your computer will thank you for it. <yoruka>I was wondering if i did anything wrong but it seems other's have this issue too. i should indeed file an issue <yoruka>but they are a bunch of problems at once so i wonder if they are truely seperate or not
