Re: libvirt: A potential problem in the package and looking for guidance

[Rene Saavedra]

Hi Allan,

Just an idea,
You can try to fix the package and try again.

for this error it is required to create the devices with:

./MAKEDEV console tty ...

I did this manually in Debian and the error no longer shows.

Re: [BLOG] On migration to the Hurd

[Rene]

Hello Ludovic, Jan,

About the bootstrap ext2fs.static server, it seems that it is also required to 
create a link in /libexec, attached a patch.

and now it shows another error:
--
 Hurd server bootstrap: ext2fs[device:hd0s1] exec startup proc auth.
 /libexec/console-run: /dev/console: Permission denied
 /libexec/console-run: cannot execute /libexec/runsystem: Exec format error
--

I'll keep checking ..

Hurd bootstrap breaks guix building binutils-boot0@2.34

Hello Jan,

Maybe it's related to this workaround:

Re: Hurd status?

[Rene]

Hello,

Only to share the status of the tests I have done:

* Currently I run Guix (v0.14.0) on Debian/Hurd which takes approximately 2 
days to compile and generate the Hurd binaries through `guix system init ..`.

* There are some details with glibc-2.28 and guile-2.2.4, as described:

a) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-12/msg00364.html
b) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-02/msg00335.html

* I have done tests for manual activation and creation of users for the first 
time in Guix style and it works (Removing packages and dependencies).

* About Shepherd, some services start, most have dependencies on the services 
of `file-system- *`; I think more knowledge is required to repair this.

These are my experiences at the moment.


Thank you
Rene

Re: create a symlink

Hello Danny,

As I understand Guix, /run/booted-system is created during the
boot(activation) process; however, I think that to perform the
activation there should already be /hurd (binaries like ext2fs.static,exec..).

For now, I did the following:

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

In this way the gnumach kernel can find /hurd and the binaries needed to
start the whole system.

On the other hand, in linux there is `--system` argument, how does this
argument work?, Is there a script that uses it?. To test `--system`, I
removed it from my linux system and when loging in with my user it does not
detect any command.

Yes, I use Guix as package manager like another linux distro.

I currently use `./pre-inst-env guix system init doc/os-config-hurd.scm
/guix`, where /guix is an empty partition to populate GuixSD os.

I get It.

I found a conversation in bug-hurd, maybe it will work to avoid links like 
/hurd.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2015-07/msg2.html

How I can change "/hurd/" by "/gnu/store/abc..-hurd-0.9/hurd/" in
 through Guix?

--8<---cut here---start->8---
/* Hurd servers are specified by symbols _HURD_FOO,
   the canonical pathname being /hurd/foo.  */

After starting GNU Mach microkernel, the hurd translators are required to start
the operating system.

At the moment all components like gnumach, hurd servers point to /hurd.

Maybe there is a way to avoid links?

Description: Binary data

Hello,

In addition to the problem with static guile in Hurd, the static binary `xz`
shows the following message when trying to check the version. 


--8<---cut here---start->8---

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

The binarie was generated from current Guix (master branch) in Linux,
with `./pre-inst-env guix build bootstrap-tarballs --target=i586-pc-gnu`.

* I use wip-gnome3.30 branch and then apply the mentioned patches!.
* I do not use the .xsession file.
* After testing and reconfiguring my system several times some files in 
`/var/lib` were outdated; and renamed '/var/lib` and then reconfigured my

I have executed the commands and it seems that we did not use wayland for GNOME.

Hello Ricardo,

I have reconfigured my system and it seems to work!

the patches are in master with commit `92deb5cc920fcc7617302986180f1abee5fd2b2` 
until `48c8d067d4ded776939cda6f9c63c25b38ba77fc`, and I've used GDM and SLIM!

Re: GNOME 3.30: help needed!

[Rene]

Hello Ricardo,

I tested GNOME 3.30 from the `wip-gnome3.30` branch and applied the Timothy 
Sample patches[1] and these are some observations:

  * With `guix system vm-image..` the startup works correctly.
  * Using `sudo dd if=$(guix system disk-image ..) of=/dev/sdb` boot and login 
correctly.
  * Using the `guix system reconfigure -L /home/remi/guix ..` option does not 
seem to work; Is there any other way to reconfigure my system using my local 
repository?.

  * On the other hand how to know if GNOME is using wayland?.

Hello Joshua,

I think you can start preparing the environment to play with Guix in 
Debian/Hurd.

I use the binaries generated from Guix(master or core-updates). And then I use 
the attached patch, to update the binary hashes.

Hello Ludovic,

I made a mistake when copying my repository, I cloned the repository again and 
these are my

To start guix-daemon:

$ sudo ~/guix/pre-inst-env guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild -c 1 
--debug
build log compression: 2
extra chroot directories: ''
automatic deduplication set to 1
listening on `/var/guix/daemon-socket/socket'

On the other hand:

madvise failed: Function not implemented

And it does not create any file in `/tmp`.

The error is similar to the one reported[1], but in 2017; Any idea about if it 
is the same situation?

Thank you

Hello,

In Debian/Hurd using commit `2d546858b139e5fcf2cbdf9958a17fd98803ac4c` from

When I try to build hello package, Guix shows:

Steps to reproduce the error:
a)   ./bootstrap.sh
b)  ./configure --localstatedir=/var --with-courage
c)    make
d)  start guix-daemon
e)  run `./pre-inst-env guix build hello --fallback`
And nothing happens!

The guile version installed in Debian is:
guile (GNU Guile) 2.2.3

Any advice?

Thank you

About GCC-5.5.0

[Rene]

Hello,

I am updating my Guix repository on Debian/Hurd and I have the following error 
in the 'configure' phase of glibc(glibc-intermediate-2.23).
We have tried to add the flag '-fno-stack-protector' to glibc, however the 
error remains.

Any idea of how we can approach it?

Re: create a symlink

Hello Danny,

after adding the line (install-hurd #$hurd), I have an error, I'm missing some 
module?

Re: create a symlink

[Rene]

Hi Joshua,

On top of Debian/Hurd, We are trying to populate a partition with the binaries 
required to boot GNU Mach and GNU Hurd, through Guix with:

'guix system init'

You can see more on guix-devel mailing list and here:

https://github.com/Phant0mas/Guix-on-Hurd

create a symlink

[Rene]

Hello,

In 'gnu/build/install.scm', I try to create a symlink from 
'/gnu/store/..hurd-0.9' to /hurd during 'guix system init  '.

But Guix waits for a string, is it possible to use a package to do the symlink?

CODE---

(let ((hurd-1 (string-append target

 "/hurd")))

(let try ()

  (catch 'system-error

 (lambda ()

   (symlink hurd hurd-1))

 (lambda args

   ;; If hurd-1 already exists, overwrite it.

   (if (= EEXIST (system-error-errno args))

   (begin

 (delete-file hurd-1)

 (try))

   (apply throw args))

Re: Looking for Thunderbird/Icedove

[Rene]

Hello,

GNOME Evolution is another graphical mail-reader;
currently it is not packaged, but the important part is that it requires the 
evolution-data-server service that does not exist either.

boot guixsd

[Rene]

Hello,
I'm reviewing how GNU GuixSD/Linux boot,

$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/gnu/store/jnww66749r8ck6l2rwgvpzzbnazs0392-linux-libre-4.15.5/bzImage
 --root=root --system=/gnu/store/qcia33hqzi6md3q18frs16piis6xxy9i-system 
--load=/gnu/store/qcia33hqzi6md3q18frs16piis6xxy9i-system/boot

To perform the activation is done as a parameter through the scheme file 
'/var/guix/profiles/system/boot'.

In GNU Hurd as a workaround I add the lines to the '/libexec/rc' file:
--
echo running GuixSD boot ..
guile -s /var/guix/profiles/system/boot
--

After loading GNU Mach and GNU Hurd it shows:
--
In unknown file:

  In unknown file:
 ?: 0 [symlink #f "/run/current-system.new"]

  ERROR: In procedure symlink:
  ERROR: Wrong type (expecting string): #f
--

I have the following questions:

a) In GNU Hurd, how should activation be done?
b) Regarding the error assuming that I start reading from the bottom up 'ERROR: 
In procedure symlink',
in GNU Hurd I guess I should try 'symlink' through guile to see if the 
procedure exists.

Some thoughts?

Thank you
Rene

About guix system init

[Rene]

Hello,

I am currently running 'guix system init doc/os-config-hurd.scm /guix' on 
Debian/Hurd;

Some of the things that I have observed:

* Only the directories '/gnu/store' and 'var' are populated.
* The directories: bin, etc, home, mnt, root, run and tmp are created but 
without configuration.

However, there is no error at the end of the command, is there a way to debug 
to identify which part is being omitted?
