Search paths are properties of the packages that consume them.  Adding
"pkg-config" to the profile will populate PKG_CONFIG_PATH for that
profile.

PKG_CONFIG_PATH missing from guix-profile/etc/profile

[Pierre Neidhardt]

Hi!

I've installed webkitgtk+ to a custom profile, and the etc/profile file
does not contain any "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH...".
Because of this,

--8<---cut here---start->8---
$ pkg-config --cflags webkit2gtk-4.0
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

fails to find anything.

Is this a bug?

Re: bug#37369: Getting network-manager-openconnect to work

[pelzflorian (Florian Pelz)]

Hello!

There might be a workaround:

NetworkManager stopped segfaulting for me after I “edited” the
openconnect VPN connection in nm-connection-editor without making any
changes to the connection.  Apparently this fixed get_secrets_done_cb
being passed what GDB calls an “” as the connection
and crashing in nm_connection_get_setting_by_name.  I need to repeat
this nm-connection-editor editing after every reboot.

Does editing the VPN connection in nm-connection-editor fix the
problem for you, Divan Santana?

No patch at all is required for me.  nmtui works fine without the patch.

This issue is not present in Arch Linux using the more recent
NetworkManager 1.20.2.  I have not yet attempted to upgrade Guix’
NetworkManager to a more recent version.

Regards,
Florian

ModemManager has a list of supported devices.  Your modem is not
listed there, but older similar modems “Should work”, it says.  Did it
work on another distro before?

I have no experience with dial-up modems, but apparently ppp can be
used somehow to connect with those.  Network-manager can be made to
use ppp, but I do not know if that works in Guix right now.

Florian

internal 3g modem

[Divan Santana]

Hi Guix,

Hopefully someone knowledgeable with these things here can help out. :)

I'm trying to get the internal 3g modem to work in my Dell laptop
running guix.

Ideally with networkmanager/modemmanager would be great.

Using nm-connection-editor and selecting mobile broadband, it says
can't find any device.

Creating the connection manually and running it says:

ds@swift ~ $ sudo nmcli con up modem-internal
Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this 
connection.

Creating this file and trying to start the connecting with mbim-network results 
in this:

ds@swift ~ $ cat /etc/mbim-network.conf

I think this is the internal modem device:

It seems from the above it's /almost/ working using mbimcli.

I'm not sure why MM doesn't detect it.
