 - When I tried to login as non-root user for the first time, my 
home
   directory was not there, and I was sent back to the login 
screen. I
   logged in as root and created/chown'ed the home directory 
myself.

   Unfortunately, I have no further information here, either.


Could it be that /home is a separate partition?  There’s a bug 
waiting

to be fixed in this area: .


Yes, that looks like the same issued. Indeed, I noticed today that a 
/home/thomas directory got created on my root partition (I suppose it 
then somehow hidden when my home partition is mounted at /home).



Now, the system works fine, though I'll try to tweak it for better
touchpad support, graphics acceleration (I'm gnome3 is currently
unusable) and sharper fonts.  Those things worked better when it 
was

running Ubuntu, though I suspect some of that was due to non-free
driver blobs etc.


If you find ways to tweak it, let us know how we can improve the 
default

settings.


Coming from Ubuntu, I don't have any experience fiddling with these 
things, but I'll do my best ;-)

This actually raises the issue of packaging large data files (we are
getting into TB's). Could there be a way Guix fetches external
datasets as part of the distribution? I think that if it is not
executable code and SHA values/pfff values match it would be safe to
do.

Idea? That is a first step towards reproducible analysis.

The way Andy described worked. We should really add this to the

Related to this thread, I see if I can apply the suggested

I prefer to use url-fetch with a tarball. First, upstream maintainers
have typically prepared the tarball beyond what can be found from a Git
tag. Second, it prevents the package from depending on Git, which is a
large package.

I think some elements of LXDE need the runpath patched, and this
can't happen in the meta package unless I missed something.
I will try and inspect each of them on their own, must be one of
the packages I plan to add, the ones which are already included
are working.

Re: [PATCH python-tests] gnu: python-2.7: Enable UCS-4 Unicode encoding.

2017-01-23 Thread Danny Milosavljevic 
Hi Ludo,

> That means that strings are internally UCS-4-encoded, right?  What’s the
> rationale, and what happens when this flag is omitted?

The CPython C interface changes depending on the flag and some Python 
extensions don't work with the narrow UTF-16 Unicode - which is what it would 
use if you don't specify.

The default, UTF-16, is basically just historical baggage from when Unicode had 
fewer than 65536 codepoints in the standard.

The max codepoint used nowadays is 1114111.

UCS-4 encoding means that just one 32-bit word encodes one Unicode codepoint 
(it's 1:1). It's the most straightforward encoding if you don't care about size 
wastage. 

If you *do* care about size wastage, you use UTF-8.

Only if you are tied down by some kind of backward compatibility constraints 
you use UTF-16 or UCS-2 (the latter doesn't even have some way to encode 
codepoints over 65535 AT ALL - but UTF-16 uses a variable-length encoding to 
represent those).

Python Unicode string builds on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X usually use 
UTF-16 while on GNU Linux distributions we usually use UCS-4.

Python 3 does the obvious thing and has only one string class and switches the 
internal string encoding depending on what codepoints are used. That way the 
user is none the wiser and it still saves space.

But Python 2.7 still has "strings" and "unicode strings" which are disjunct 
with no such optimizations.

So this patch basically just makes sure that we do the same as other 
distributions so that all the Python 2.7 extensions work.

It could be that LX moved on to primarily develop LXQT now, but
we can have both in Guix, after all they provide modular software

[PATCH 0/1] OpenJPEG CVE-2016-9572 CVE-2016-9573

2017-01-23 Thread Leo Famulari 
This patch fixes CVE-2016-9572 and CVE-2016-9573 in OpenJPEG.

Notice that the patch is not from the official OpenJPEG repository. I've
asked for clarification here:

https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg/issues/863#issuecomment-274271277

Debian has applied it to their openjpeg2 2.1.0-2+deb8u2 package (sorry,
I can't find a link to their package code; download the tarball and
inspect it manually):

It is caused by no config files are found by some part

This application ships a "lxde-screenlock.desktop" file referring to
"lxlock". It would be nice to have that packaged too and substitute with
the full path.

Going through the series now. I think "lxde-icon-theme" and
"lxmenu-data" might as well be native-inputs since they only contain
images and similar. I have this in my local branch.

Cool to get LXDE in Guix, thanks for working on this! :)

Re: [Basic Linux Question]: Is it possible to have two init system?

You could just install the guix package manager.  Some GNU/Linux distributions 
package GuixSD.  If yours doesn't then you could install from source.

[Installing Grub on blocklist]: Failing to create bootable disk on GCE

Hi,

I am trying to create bootable image on GCE using guix. It leads to
following error.


Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be
installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are

I tried finding some references which shows how to forcibly write grub

Hi Julien!

I noticed that a handful of your new OCaml packages replace invocations
of 'sh' with 'bash'. These shells actually have different behavior even
though they are both provided by the Bash package (see INVOCATION in
bash(1)).

Can you change these substitutions to use (which "sh") instead?

[PATCH] gnu: r: Add which to propagated-inputs.

2017-01-23 Thread Raoul Bonnal 
From: Raoul Jean Pierre Bonnal 

* gnu/packages/statistics.scm (r)[propagated-inputs]: Add which.
---

Notes:
In my local installation of R

Sys.which(c("bash"))

was not working properly, inspecting the function(below) I had not 
installed which beforehand.
> Sys.which
function (names)
{
res <- character(length(names))
names(res) <- names
which <- 
"/gnu/store/cn670s29lsf2nr5axd8gmhl8sb9qpyiq-which-2.21/bin/which"
if (!nzchar(which)) {
warning("'which' was not found on this platform")
return(res)
}
for (i in seq_along(names)) {
if (is.na(names[i])) {
res[i] <- NA
next
}
ans <- suppressWarnings(system(paste(which, shQuote(names[i])),
intern = TRUE, ignore.stderr = TRUE))
if (grepl("solaris", R.version$os)) {
tmp <- strsplit(ans[1], " ", fixed = TRUE)[[1]]
if (identical(tmp[1:3], c("no", i, "in")))
ans <- ""
}
res[i] <- if (length(ans))
ans[1]
else ""
if (!file.exists(res[i]))
res[i] <- ""
}
res
}

requiring which to be installed along with R seems to fix the issue.

This is strange. The "po" makefile refer to a file "encoding.c" that is
missing in the release tarball. Could you report this issue upstream?

The 'check' phase is autotools-generated and does not seem to run any
actual tests, so I assume this file is not needed. Nothing else refers
to it.

Add lxde. (Mixed content: 4 updates, 7 RFCs)

2017-01-23 Thread contact . ng0 
[PATCH 01/11] gnu: lxterminal: Update to 0.3.0.
[PATCH 02/11] gnu: pcmanfm, libfm: Update to 1.2.5.
[PATCH 03/11] gnu: menu-cache: Update to 1.0.2.

The ones above are functional and can be applied, the ones below are for first 
RFCs:

[PATCH 04/11] gnu: Add lxmenu-data.
[PATCH 05/11] gnu: Add lxde-icon-theme.
[PATCH 06/11] gnu: Add lxde-common.
[PATCH 07/11] gnu: Add lxinput.
[PATCH 08/11] gnu: Add lxsession.
[PATCH 09/11] gnu: Add keybinder.
[PATCH 10/11] gnu: Add lxpanel.
[PATCH 11/11] gnu: Add lxde.

Currently when I reconfigure a system with lxde in the global available 
packages, and I try to log in to LXDE (which is detectecd by SDDM), SDDM for a 
short second shows a black screen and drops me back to the log in screen.

That's the first time I did an meta package for Guix, but I guess I did it 
right?

Hi Thomas,

Thank you very much for this! I tried updating to 0.7.10 a while back,
but got stuck on a GPG test and forgot all about it.

Applied!

[Basic Linux Question]: Is it possible to have two init system?

2017-01-23 Thread rohit yadav 
​Hi,

Is it possible to run two init processes? I believe not, but PID 1 (primary
init system) can start another PID 2 which could act secondary init system.
If this is possible and commonly employed then we can easily get all the
features of guixsd on a standard linux distribution. It will be really
useful for beginners who are frustrated by standard distro but do not have
time to learn the whole guix ecosystem at once before using it reliably.

Thanks,
Rohit​

Hi Danny,

Can you push this to 'core-updates' instead?

It will cause a rebuild of more than 2000 packages on 'python-tests' and
invalidate almost all substitutes, and I would like to merge it sooner
rather than later.

Otherwise LGTM. I checked some other distros and they seem to have this
enabled. Thanks!

Good.  :-)

I hope we can eventually rely on a manual that deals specifically with
partitioning.

People reported it before but I don’t see how this can happen.  At any
rate, there seems to be a bug lurking here, we’ll have to investigate.

Could it be that /home is a separate partition?  There’s a bug waiting

If you find ways to tweak it, let us know how we can improve the default

I don’t think there’s anything different about how GuixSD uses the
Shepherd other than that the shepherd process runs as PID 1.

Shepherd is the same when used in a less privileged position, e.g. to
manage user processes.

I will try and reflect on OpenRC in a while and compare it to
Guix-specific Shepherd (I don't know generic shepherd yet).

For now all I can say is that it's exciting and motivating to
learn a language and grammar which is usable outside of package
definitions or service definitions.
Guile's way to print errors makes it hard, that's one thing.
Another thing is, strange enough, the freedom. You have some
rules you have to obey, but beyond that you can express what you
want. OpenRC, if I remember correctly, was more strict about how
you compose things (but then again last time I wrote something
for Gentoo OpenRC (not even downstream OpenRCs) was the guix
daemon service and that was awful enough to promote it as
fundamentally broken (openrc gnunet service was easier and
worked).

Comparing side by side or in reflection will be easier.

Is there are particular reason why svglite was removed from propagated-inputs? In

Perhaps this is a consequence of the updater suggesting some inputs can be

It is.  My apologies!

“r-svglite” is optional and was reported by my modified updater, which
compares the current inputs with the inputs a fresh import would
suggest.  If optional inputs are added it would be good to comment on
why they were added.  I probably wouldn’t have removed them in that

to jmd and iyzsong who gave me some advice on #guix.  Overall, it went

clear documentation.  Just in case it's useful, here's a short account

 - I had a false start because on my first attempt, I did not have a
   BIOS boot partition (there was still an EFI system partition,
   originally from a past windows installation, I think), so the 
final

   step of the installation, installing grub, failed. 宋文武 already
   submitted a patch to point out this requirement in the docs.

 - During this first attempt, which would ultimately fail for the
   above reason, I also got an error running “herd start cow-store
   /mnt”.  The message was:

“ERROR. in procedure mount: mount "./rw-store" on "/gnu/store": 
invalid

argument”

   I decided to reboot and try again, but got the same message.
   However, when running guix system reconfigure, the store in
   /mnt/gnu/store did get populated (which is the point of cow-store,
   as I understand it), so perhaps this error was not fatal...

   On my second attempt (then with the correct boot partition), I did
   not get this error anymore.  So I have no further information, I'm
   afraid.  The only difference that I'm aware of between both
   attempts, was the partitioning scheme (2nd attempt added the BIOS
   boot partition, and removed a few unnecessary partitions).

 - I followed advice I thought I'd once read somewhere (though not in
   the manual), and first installed a basic system with the 
bare-bones

   config from

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Using-the-Configuration-System.html#Using-the-Configuration-System,

and then switched to a full desktop environment after booting 
into

the newly installed system for the first time (perhaps I
could/should have just used a full desktop rightaway?).  I had
used the wireless during installation, but didn't include
wpa_supplicant (and whatever else might be needed to get similar
wifi support as the installation image) in my system
configuration, so I couldn't use wireless anymore after booting
into my new system :-) Therefore, I had to walk over to my router
and connect by cable to continue (at least that was the solution 
I

came up with).

 - When I tried to login as non-root user for the first time, my home
   directory was not there, and I was sent back to the login screen. 
I

   logged in as root and created/chown'ed the home directory myself.
   Unfortunately, I have no further information here, either.

Now, the system works fine, though I'll try to tweak it for better
touchpad support, graphics acceleration (I'm gnome3 is currently
unusable) and sharper fonts.  Those things worked better when it was
running Ubuntu, though I suspect some of that was due to non-free
driver blobs etc.

I split it into two patches and applied:

  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=c7bdb4139df22fbee40fb8dd717b96112110d5a7
  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=174b091fb744fe7aa83744a50629f7fc9e9110e4

I made tiny changes:

  - removed unneeded changes such as reformatting;
  - turned the description of ‘ghc-setlocale’ into a full sentence;
  - listed all the changes in the commit log (changes to ‘inputs’, to
‘origin’, etc.)

Thank you, and welcome!  :-)

The patch looks good to me!

As for /var/lib/bsdgames, then it’s up to the admin to set the right
permissions on it.  We can ensure that it exists and has the right
permissions on GuixSD, but on foreign distros, there’s nothing we can
do.

We could also modify bsd-games such that it falls back to
~/.local/bsdgames when /var/lib/bsdgames isn’t accessible (and it would
be worth submitting upstream).  ISTR this was discussed for one of the
games present in Guix.

WDYT?

Re: Build custom packages with cuirass.

Yes, it would be better than my initial idea.

Yes of course :)

Using cuirass I also noticed two other things that might need to be fixed:

* When network isn't up yet at cuirass service start,
or goes down for a moment, the url fetching
fails and cuirass service stays hanged and needs to be restarted.

* For an unknown reason, I have random freezes of cuirass, the polling
  stops and nothing is outputed to log. I'm stracing it to find out why
  ...

Otherwise it works fine for me !

It is.  My apologies!

“r-svglite” is optional and was reported by my modified updater, which
compares the current inputs with the inputs a fresh import would
suggest.  If optional inputs are added it would be good to comment on
why they were added.  I probably wouldn’t have removed them in that
case.
