bug#55898: jami service failing following 'guix deploy' update

[Maxim Cournoyer]

Hello Guix!

After having fixed the tests of the jami-service-type and pushed the fix
as 85b4dabd94d53f8179f31a42046cd83fc3a352fc, I was confident it would
work, but my freshly 'guix deploy'ed machine says otherwise:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
$ sudo herd stop jami
$ sudo herd start jami
Service jami-dbus-session has been started.
herd: exception caught while executing 'start' on service 'jami':
Unbound variable: jami-service-available?

$ guix system describe
Generation 141  Jun 11 2022 01:38:12(current)
  file name: /var/guix/profiles/system-141-link
  canonical file name: /gnu/store/vx9sd4vb2yfv0zhycd461m9wfvgzclsp-system

  configuration file:

--8<---cut here---end--->8---

I don't get it; how can the service runs fine in the instrumented VMs
the system tests use, and fail in my updated machine?  Could it be a
fault in 'guix deploy'?

To be investigated...

Thanks,

Maxim

OK!  I'll adjust the jami-service-type when we get around to implement
the above; for now I've pushed my proposed fix which still uses
'make-forkexec-constructor/container' as
85b4dabd94d53f8179f31a42046cd83fc3a352fc.

bug#55484: Setup PS1 for 'guix shell/environment' in guix-install.sh

This may be a bit more involved then simply appending the snippet to
their ~/.bashrc (if available), as Debian for example ships its own PS1
configuration there.  I guess we could prompt the user whether they want
the script to override their PS1 configuration.

bug#54973: control message for bug #54973

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

Hullo,

Haider Mirza 写道：

close 54973

This kind of message works only if sent to the ‘control@’ address 
instead of the bug address.


The (IMO easier) way to close issues is to ‘Reply’ and simply edit 
the address to add ‘-done’ or ‘-close’ after the bug number, as 
I've done with this message.


Thanks!

bug#55856: First LUKS passphrase prompt at Linux boot always fail

Hi,

This is super weird (I’ve not observed that).  I don’t see how the input
buffer could be filled with something else.  I wonder how this could be
investigated!

bug#55857: Odd Shepherd message on 'guix system reconfigure': (map (# ?) ?)

The question marks are HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS not being displayed properly
because ‘guix’ is not running under a UTF-8 locale.

The message is produced by shepherd as a response to an expression that
‘guix system reconfigure’ tells it to evaluate, in (gnu services herd).
And all this happens as part of the live service upgrade mechanism.

Admittedly, this particular message is not something one cares about as
a user, but it seemed safer to print messages shepherd might send during
that operation.

I gave up because my DVD-drive stopped reading discs and instead makes gentle
tapping sounds and three short low-pitched buzzes for thirty seconds before
ejecting any inserted media. Happens at both the OEM bootloader stage and after
Trisquel is fully booted. It's not a Guix problem -- it's my personal hardware
problem now.

I expect that you may wish to close the issue to tidy up, and I accept that
outcome.

Comrade Googlov,

I condemn any aggression of Russia and its government. 


Much appreciated, but we don't demand such a pledge from our users 
:-)


Even if we did take a stand, it would be better served by a Web

See

for information and a work-around.
Alternatively, you can do "guix pull --no-substitutes", at cost of
having to compile more locally.

FWIW, there appears to be an additional problem here (all the 0.0%
lines, couldn't guix just notice that apparently it's offline and stop
retrying or something?), so I'm keeping the bug report open, under a
different title

Greetings,
