using Shepherd outside of GuixSD ?
Does anyone have any experience using Shepherd as the init for a distro other than GuixSD ? This could be useful, say on a bare bones foreign distro where Guix was installed, in order to have more of the Guix ecosystem available even outside of GuixSD itself. Concretely speaking, I was thinking of trying to use Shepherd on a Void Linux install in place of the default runit init. Thoughts? Suggestions? —Ben -- Benjamin Slade - https://babbagefiles.xyz `(pgp_fp: ,(21BA 2AE1 28F6 DF36 110A 0E9C A320 BBE8 2B52 EE19)) '(sent by mu4e on Emacs running under GNU/Linux . https://gnu.org ) `(Choose Linux ,(Choose Freedom) . https://linux.com )

Yes, that was it, thanks a lot! Is anyone interested in finishing the work that was sketched in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-01/msg00056.html ? -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic - Installing Guix in an LXC
There is still an issue with the locale that is C.UTF-8. To fix it, you can add: lxc.environment = LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 To the file /var/lib/lxc/schemer/config Le mar. 16 oct. 2018 à 12:57, Amirouche Boubekki < amirouche.boube...@gmail.com> a écrit : > To install guix (the package manager) inside an ubuntu LXC on Ubuntu you > can do the following: > > $ sudo apt install lxc > $ sudo lxc-create -t download -n schemer -- --dist ubuntu --release bionic > --arch amd64 > > That will create a lightweight virtulal machine with ubuntu bionic as a > distribution. > > To connect to it, use the following command: > > $ sudo lxc-start -n schemer > $ sudo lxc-attach -n schemer > > This will open a bash prompt inside the LXC container. > > It's recommended to install emacs-no-x (!) and openssh-server: > > # apt install emacs-no-x > # apt install openssh-server > > Then change the configuration of sshd to allow to connect as root: > > # emacs /etc/ssh/sshd_config > > You must have a line in that file that says: > > PermitRootLogin yes > > Restart ssh daemon: > > # /etc/init.d/sshd restart > > Use the following command to know the IP of the container: > > # ip a > > Set a password for the root login: > > # passwd > > Now type 'exit' to exit the container and return to the host.

I think you'll need to share the host system's X socket, like '--share=/tmp/.X11-unix' or '--share=/tmp/serverauth.$RANDOM' and then `export DISPLAY=":0.0"` in the container. $RANDOM is a random string to make the filename unpredictable. So, it's definitely possible. In my experience, the hard part is finding the myriad directories used by the software and sharing or exposing them to the container. This is shown in the second discussion I linked above. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic - Installing Guix in an LXC
To install guix (the package manager) inside an ubuntu LXC on Ubuntu you can do the following: $ sudo apt install lxc $ sudo lxc-create -t download -n schemer -- --dist ubuntu --release bionic --arch amd64 That will create a lightweight virtulal machine with ubuntu bionic as a distribution. To connect to it, use the following command: $ sudo lxc-start -n schemer $ sudo lxc-attach -n schemer This will open a bash prompt inside the LXC container. It's recommended to install emacs-no-x (!) and openssh-server: # apt install emacs-no-x # apt install openssh-server Then change the configuration of sshd to allow to connect as root: # emacs /etc/ssh/sshd_config You must have a line in that file that says: PermitRootLogin yes Restart ssh daemon: # /etc/init.d/sshd restart Use the following command to know the IP of the container: # ip a Set a password for the root login: # passwd Now type 'exit' to exit the container and return to the host. You can a now connect using ssh: $ ssh root@$IP_OF_SCHEMER Now, you are connected to the LXC using ssh, you can follow the usual steps to install guix from the manual: http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/ Now you might try to do: # guix package -i hello And it will fail with the following error: > build failed: while setting up the build environment: unable to make ?/? private mount: Permission denied If you look at 'dmesg' output you will see something like: > audit: type=1400 audit(1539605833.825:115): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mount" info="failed flags match" error=-13 profile="lxc-container-default-cgns" name="/" pid=13543 comm="guix-daemon" flags="rw, rprivate" That's where it gets ugly. I only know how to disable apparmor for that lxc container. Go to /var/lib/lxc/schemer/config and add somewhere in that file the following command: lxc.apparmor.profile = unconfined You might need to restart the lxc container: $ lxc-stop -n schemer $ lxc-start -n schemer $ ssh root@$IP_OF_SCHEMER # guix package -i hello && hello Happy hacking!
WebRTC support (jitsi) in Guix-packaged browsers?
Hi Guix! Last August I could run WebRTC services such as https://meet.jit.si just fine. For the last few weeks I've been unable to run it. Maybe last Icecat upgrade? It does not work on Epiphany either. Is anyone able to run it? -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature
