Re: Re: IceCat from Guix all monospaced font
Hi Mark,
The problem is solved for me now. Would an "strace" still be helpful? I
will write another mail to the list, summarizing what I have tried and
that it works now.
Thank you for your detailed idea about how to progress nevertheless.

Re: IceCat from Guix all monospaced font – Summary
Hello Guix Users, So apparently all that was needed after the steps suggested on the mailing list was a restart of my machine or possibly a re-login. I say that, because today I started my machine and started Icecat and to my surprise the fonts were not all monospace any longer. So it must have been, that some of the things I did worked, but was not picked up by Icecat without restart, or possibly re-login, as it is unusual on GNU/Linux to require a full restart of the machine. I will try to summarize what I tried or what was suggested to fix it, so maybe if someone finds this in the future it will help them concisely. 1. change preferences inside Icecat for what fonts to use (but in theory this only applies to websites and not to Icecat GUI). 2. create a `chrome` folder in my profile and create a `userChorme.css` inside the folder, containing CSS rules for the Icecat GUI. 3. install fonts via Guix: `font-dejavu`, `font-liberation` 4. run `fc-cache -f` 5. create a `settings.ini` in `~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini` and put in there the following: [Settings] gtk-font-name=DejaVu Sans Book 11 6. install `fontconfig` via Guix and run `fc-cache -f` 7. install `libxft` via Guix 8. install `cairo` via Guix 9. install `pango` via Guix After each of the steps I completely closed IceCat and started it again, which did no change to everything being monospaced. Finally I shutdown my machine yesterday and started it again today and the issue suddenly disappeared. And the warnings also disappeared from command line output when running IceCat from there. Only the following was logged: JavaScript error: jar:file:///gnu/store/rllrc55ygi4yhxnhq8v41ynl6mg5ak56-icecat-60.3.0-gnu1/lib/icecat/omni.ja!/components/XULStore.js, line 65: Error: Can't find profile directory. 1557058011027 addons.webextension.https-everywh...@eff.org WARN Please specify whether you want browser_style or not in your browser_action options.

I do not know what exactly helped, but that is all I can remember trying. I just hope, that when/of I want to change the font of the UI again, it will not take me as long to figure out how again :D But then again how often do I change a GUI font. Thank you all for your help and ideas! Now I have a very usable browser again. If an `strace` output would still be helpful, I could provide that too. Best regards, Zelphir

GNOME Desktop
Hi, How can I use GNOME Core Applications (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Core_Applications) that are missing in Guix System? I am quite frusturated and disappointed with the GNOME Desktop in Guix. I can't even use a music player or a calendar. I thought I do not have deal with additional applications if I use a Desktop Environment, but it seems GNOME Desktop in Guix is incomplete. :(. Are there any tricks to enable and use these missing applications please? Thanks.

First, just a reminder: on this email list, please avoid top-posting. Most people bottom-post or reply in-line. It's fine to cut out text that is not relevant to your response. Now, as to your question: Pierre has given the answer. There is not currently a way to upgrade the system and the user profiles in a single transaction. This might make one ask, "Why is that?" I want to offer an explanation why. Guix System follows the functional software deployment model and is designed to put the users (even unprivileged users) in control of their own software, as well as their own Guix installation. It is designed so that a system administrator can upgrade the system software and services without interfering with what the users have installed. Likewise, users can upgrade their own software without interfering with the system's underlying software. This is a good feature. It separates concerns and gives more control to users and administrators both. Remember, an administrator has full access to the system, so they can still forcibly upgrade user profiles if they choose to do so. In a traditional GNU/Linux distribution, you generally need special privileges (e.g., sudo or root access) in order to use the system's package manager to install/remove any software. On such systems, the package manager does not provide any way for any users (privileged or not) to manage "their own" software; all software is effectively "system" software, and it must be managed by a privileged user. On these systems, upgrading the system software upgrades software for all users. Guix provides more fine-grained control than this. At first blush, it might seem like it isn't good that we can't upgrade all the software in a single transaction, but from the perspective of ensuring correct deployment of software, it actually isn't a problem. If Bob upgrades his profile, it won't interfere with software that Alice has installed, and it won't interfere with any system software, either. Likewise, if the system is upgraded, it won't interfere with any software that Alice or Bob have installed, since their profiles are "self-contained" thanks to the functional model. From a security perspective, it may be undesirable to allow old profiles containing software with security vulnerabilities to exist, but that can be fixed by upgrading the stale profiles. The task of enforcing that every profile is "up to date" is arguably outside the scope of Guix; Guix just provides the mechanisms to make it possible for you to upgrade all that software in a safe fashion.

Guix VM can't connect to the Internet
Hi, in light of the 1.0.0 release, I tried to download the Guix VM image, to try and configure a workable setup within a Qemu session before installing it. But `guix package pull` wouldn't work, because no connection could be established. Running `ping` on any server, would just inform me of dropped packets, `ip link set eth0 up` wouldn't change anything. I tried altering the quemu flags: qemu-system-x86_64 -net user -net nic,model=virtio -enable-kvm \ -m 2048 guix-system-vm-image-1.0.0.x86_64-linux adding and removing net flags, enabling and disabling kvm. Since I am not a Qemu expert, let alone a VM guy, I have really no idea what the -net options for example do. Could someone give me a hint what I should try/read to get a working state? -- With kind regards, Philip K. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I am quite frusturated and disappointed with >the GNOME Desktop in Guix. I can't even use a music player or a >calendar. I'm sorry to hear it. FWIW, we have a large selection of music players in Guix. Two that are built on GNOME libraries include 'rhythmbox' and 'lollypop', but there are many others, too many to list here. For calendaring programs, we currently have 'gnome-calendar' and 'evolution', and possibly others. >I thought I do not have deal with additional applications if >I use a Desktop Environment, but it seems GNOME Desktop in Guix is >incomplete. :(. Are there any tricks to enable and use these missing >applications please? Simply install your preferred applications to your user profile, or alternatively you could add them to the 'packages' field of your system profile. It's possible that our GNOME desktop should include more programs by default. Can you tell us specifically which programs you think should be added? In the area of music players and calendars, I suspect that no matter what choices we make here, a large percentage of our users will not want our default choices. Most people seem to have specific programs that they prefer to use, and there's not much agreement in these areas. Moreover, sadly, I get the impression that most of the younger generation prefer to use web-based Services as a Software Substitute (SaaSS)[1] for their music and calendaring needs. So, if we add a default music player and calendar, I suspect that for many (if not most) users, those defaults will merely be unwanted bloat. Some users will ask how to remove the defaults, to avoid repeatedly downloading substitutes for programs they don't want, which will be awkward. Given this, it seems a reasonable choice to let users explicitly install their preferred programs. Does that make sense? What do you think?

I include the following packages in my user profile: gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-libav Specifically, the addition of 'gst-libav' adds plugins for many popular codecs that would otherwise be unavailable. The 'gstreamer' package needs to be in the same profile as the 'gst-*' packages, or else GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH might not be set appropriately to find the plugins. These codecs are needed by Epiphany (a.k.a. GNOME Web) and many other GNOME applications. However, they shouldn't be needed by IceCat, which links directly with ffmpeg and doesn't use gstreamer. Mark

I also reported a bug that has been delayed as well. In summary, most of the time, when I start the machine (a real machine), "GNOME Setting → Sound" shows a "Dummy output" as the output device, not the real device. Only once, I started the machine and sound worked fine, both in desktop applications and in the IceCat browser. GNOME even displayed information when I plugged some headphones and "GNOME Setting → Sound" displayed the real device and headphones as output devices (no "Dummy output" any more). That time, I started the machine with the headphones unplugged. So I thought that could be related to the problem, but then I tried to reproduce it and couldn't. And I lost sound again.

I was only referring to changing my `~/.profile`, not the one under `~/.guix-profile/etc/profile`. When I wrote the message, I was not aware of `~/.guix-profile/etc/profile`. Yes, I am sure no package changed my `~/.profile`. Which is good : ) Thanks for making clear which profile was meant. I guess that changes to `~/.guix-profile/etc/profile` could be the reason then, the issue disappeared after restart / relogin.

Can you give the exact command line you used to launch QEMU when it did not work? I tested the official Guix QEMU image [0] using the instructions in our manual section Running Guix in a Virtual Machine [1] and I could successfully do `guix download http://example.com`. Note that `ping` (ICMP) does not work in QEMU when using '-net user'. So, don't use `ping` to test the network in QEMU. Use `guix download` instead since that will always be available. If it still doesn't work after following the instructions in the manual, please let us know the results of `qemu-system-x86_64 --version` and `uname -a`.

Thank you again! I'm glad to hear this solved your problem. I just wanted to add some information you might find useful. When using Guix, you do not need to set the PATH explicitly like this, but there is no harm in doing so if you want to. You can also write something like this instead: GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile" . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile" Whenever Guix generates a profile, by default a "profile hook" will run that generates this etc/profile file. This file contains shell commands which set up all the environment variables you need in order to "activate" the profile. This includes PATH. The nice thing about this is that if you source this file in a place like ~/.bash_profile (or similar), then whenever you log in, you'll always get the right environment variables for your profile, regardless of what software you've installed. On a Guix System, both your $HOME/.guix-profile and $HOME/.config/guix/current profiles will be "activated" automatically in this manner (see: /etc/profile), but on a foreign distro, you have to do this yourself by adding the appropriate lines to a shell start-up file. I hope that perhaps this information helps simplify your configuration! -- Chris signature.asc Description: PGP signature

You can check by running a command like the following:
guix weather manifest.scm
where manifest.scm is a file that looks like this:
(use-modules (gnu packages))
(specifications->manifest
'(
"rust"
"qemu"
"qtwebkit"

Here is what I see when I run the command:
$ guix weather --manifest=manifest.scm

As with everything in Guix, there are also ways to check

The patch above only works for individual packages, and it is quite a hack, so I am hesitant to merge it into master because I think maybe there is a better way. I think the better way might be to give the guix-daemon an SSH key specifically for the purpose of accessing Git repositories over authenticated SSH. In the same way that the Guix daemon has its own built in downloader for downloading files, we might be able to give it a built in "git fetcher" to fetch Git repositories over SSH, using the provided SSH key.

While checking some things for GNOME 3.30, I (inadvertently) made a list of all the “core” GNOME software that we are missing. I thought I would post it here just for the record. I don’t know what all of these are, but some of them look ripe for packaging. :) gnome-boxes gnome-characters gnome-color-manager gnome-contacts gnome-documents gnome-font-viewer gnome-getting-started-docs gnome-initial-setup gnome-logs gnome-menus gnome-music gnome-online-miners gnome-photos gnome-software gnome-themes-extra gnome-user-docs gnome-user-share gnome-weather gssdp gupnp gupnp-av gupnp-dlna gupnp-igd libgepub libgovirt libgrss libmediaart mm-common mousetweaks phodav rygel sushi tracker-miners vino -- Tim
"Insufficient privileges" message when saving a new connection in Networkmanager
I prepared my config.scm file and reconfigured Guix to install Networkmanager for my Xfce Desktop Environment. It worked but I have no possibility to add new connections. When I try to save a new connection the message "insufficient privileges" appears. How to fix it?
