bug#57292: GDM accessibility menu buttons don't do anything
Hello Guix! I've just noticed that the accessibility buttons at the top right of the screen, e.g. "High Contrast" don't stick in the enable position, and do seem to do anything. Both in 40.1 and the 42.0 I'm about to update to. Thanks, Maxim

Hello, After setup opensmtpd service in a Guix system I could use it to send local messages but the messages won't be delivered to user's default mailboxes due lack of write permissions for the /var/mail directory. I could only fix this by changing /var/mail permissions to 777. I also tried changing its owner to the user that runs opensmtpd (smtpd user) but it worked only when I give write permissions to all.

bug#57269: [rtl8812au-aircrack-ng-linux-module] Missing Source for hal/rtl8812a/hal8812a_fw.c (and probably other files ending in fw.c)
Hi Jacob,
Jacob K via Bug reports for GNU Guix 写道：
Files such as hal8812a_fw.c [1] have large arrays that seem to
be binary
firmware encoded in text. My understanding is that source code
is not
available, so I believe the files are nonfree software,
Even if free source code exists, we should still remove the blobs
and build our own. (Yes, we actually do this for other firmware
:-)
the short-term at least, be removed from Guix. Long term it
would be
good to get the source code (via reverse engineering or asking
Realtek),
but I imagine that would take a significant amount of time and
effort (I
do have a Realtek USB Wi-Fi card, maybe not with this exact
firmware
though.).
Unfortunately all correct. Another blow to wireless networking
with Guix. Attached is a patch removing the
rtl8821ce-linux-module and rtl8812au-aircrack-ng-linux-module
packages.
I didn't apply it yet. Since this case, unlike some others,
appears to be straightforward, I don't intend to wait long.
Kind regards,
T G-R

Subject: [PATCH 01/12] gnu: Remove Realtek WiFi drivers with firmware blobs.
rtl8821ce-linux-module contains, e.g., halhwimg8821c_fw.c and
hal8821c_fw.c. rtl8812au-aircrack-ng-linux-module has, e.g.,
hal8814a_fw.c, hal8812a_fw.c, and hal8821a_fw.c. Each of these
examples contains non-free firmware blobs disguised as C arrays.
* gnu/packages/linux.scm (rtl8821ce-linux-module)
(rtl8812au-aircrack-ng-linux-module): Remove variables.
