/var/guix/db/db.sqlite corruption
A while back, I ran out of disk space while running `guix package -i`,
during a build. I then noticed that `guix gc` would, after outputting
some number of "deleting" lines, fail with an error that's approximately
this (I forgot to make a copy):
guix gc: error: executing SQLite query: malformed database image
This error appears to come from nix/libstore/sqlite.cc, and the last
portion of the message comes from `sqlite3_errmsg`, so I don't think
this is Guix's fault.
I had already run e2fsck on many occasions since this happened a couple
months back and there are no disk errors.
To work around it, I dumped the DB:
$ sqlite3 db.sqlite .dump > ~/bak.sql
The final line of that file contains this:
ROLLBACK; -- due to errors
Understandable. I replaced that with "COMMIT;", and:
$ mv db.sqlite{,-bak}
$ sqlite3 db.sqlite < ~/bak.sql
This produced a database that was 4MiB smaller than the original. :x
But now `guix gc` works.[*]
So my questions are:
- Is there a way to regenerate the database?
- What bad things could happen with what I just did?
Thanks, and please nobody reading this message in a list archive in the
future do the above without first reading replies to this thread; I
don't want to be responsible for anything bad that may result! :)
[*]: Actually, I had some other bizarre issues. After I recreated the
DB, I started getting more generic I/O errors. There were no errors in
dmesg. But when I moved the file to a different location (e.g. my home
directory), it worked (via `sqlite3`). If I moved it back to
`/var/guix/db/db.sqlite`, I/O errors once again. If I ran `.dump` from
that dir, empty. If I moved it to my home dir and ran `.dump`, I got
the full dump. This problem didn't resolve until after a reboot. I
haven't seen anything like that before, and I don't want to
speculate. I should have tried flushing the kernel I/O cache before
rebooting to see if that would have fixed it.

First, you don't need to generate a locale, it's already available as ru_RU.UTF-8 (or similar). Your graphical session will need to be loaded with that locale. To do so, either set it globally with the locale field in your config.scm, or find a way to have it loaded by the user. Maybe your login manager allows you to set a locale, which might work, or configure the desktop environment to use the locale. This is not something managed by guix, but with user preferences. Maybe you will need a separate package for that (xfce4-settings or something). Sorry I can't provide much more help.
Xfce4 localization in Guix System for only one exact user
Hello! This is from those question people want just find one or two lines to paste in terminal and to get effect. I did not find solution. Please, how to make Xfce4 menus (right mouse click, maybe Main Menu) become Russian for only one user 'mom'? As I know, packages are installing using locale settings. So, I need to configure my locale and reinstall Xfce4 (reconfigure system). I have installed locale package as as Guix Manual says [1] with this command: $ guix install glibc-locales I have now 'locale' command in guix (but do not know exactly if it is provided with glibc-locales? and is it providing with glibc-utf8-locales ?): $ locale LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8" LC_TIME="en_US.utf8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8" LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL= And I've found in the web the way to change locale that might work on Guix System: $ localedef -c -i ru_RU -f UTF-8 ru_RU.utf8 cannot create temporary file: /run/current-system/locale/2.28/locale-archive.g44JbZ: Read-only file system But as I can see need to do this by sudo user. So it will change locale for entire system. But I want localize Xfce4 for only user 'mom'. Can I do it? [1] http://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html#Locales-1
Re: Fonts and Language in Icecat
thank you, Tibias. I've created new vriable with this instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox and now my Icecat browser has Russian interface with that langpack you've advised.

Re: Fonts and Language in Icecat
There is only these variables : http://0x0.st/zfny.png and starting with 'intl.locale' there is only 'intl.locale.matchOS' : http://0x0.st/zfnt.png But I like your patience.
