the systems seems to work fine. Gnome is up, i can log in with my user, and everything seems to work, except herd.
i encounter this broken state every once in a while. IRC logs also mention this multiple times, but without many insights: https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/search?query=%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fshepherd%2Fsocket ``` # herd status error: connect: /var/run/shepherd/socket: No such file or directory # ps afxu | grep shepherd root 1 0.0 0.3 160788 43684 ? Sl 11:51 0:00 /gnu/store/cnfsv9ywaacyafkqdqsv2ry8f01yr7a9-guile-3.0.7/bin/guile --no-auto-compile /gnu/store/vza48khbaq0fdmcsrn27xj5y5yy76z6l-shepherd-0.8.1/bin/shepherd --config /gnu/store/q4nd803lxrlkr60s8sx88gvpb6c7lxyd-shepherd.conf # uptime 12:26:44 up 0:34, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00 ``` looking at shepherd's code: ``` (define (call-with-server-socket file-name proc) "Call PROC, passing it a listening socket at FILE-NAME and deleting the socket file at FILE-NAME upon exit of PROC. Return the values of PROC." (let ((sock (open-server-socket file-name))) (dynamic-wind noop (lambda () (proc sock)) (lambda () (close sock) (catch-system-error (delete-file file-name)))))) ``` maybe this is caused by some call/cc magic that causes an unwind that deletes the file, but then continues? -- • attila lendvai • PGP: 963F 5D5F 45C7 DFCD 0A39 -- “Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.” — Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855)
