Re: Run graphical application in container
For me, Eolie now fails with --8<---cut here---start->8--- (org.gnome.Eolie:1): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 20:53:32.105: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color' is not installed --8<---cut here---end--->8--- This was not the case a few weeks ago when I published the eolie example in the manual, so I guess this issue was introduced with a recent update. Installing gnome-settings-daemon to the default profile works when running eolie outside a container.

I gave this a try today. I was trying to do the eolie container example from the manual. I couldn't figure it out. guix environment \ --verbosity=2 --preserve='^DISPLAY$' --container --network \ --expose=/etc/machine-id \ --expose=/etc/ssl/certs/ \ --share=$HOME/.local/share/eolie/=$HOME/.local/share/eolie/ \ --share=/tmp/.X11-unix/=/tmp/.X11-unix/ \ --share=$HOME/.Xauthority=$HOME/.Xauthority \ --ad-hoc eolie nss-certs dbus -- eolie Do we generally lack a reproducible way to be able to link in whatever xauthority foo? Docker and flatpack and etc must have already figured this out, right? (Or maybe things are easier in wayland? I'm skeptical though...) (Of course, this does mean that any application that can run X can escape the container, but I guess that was already the case. Really looking forward to a day when we have sane, ocap security as our security foundation instead of this nonsense...)

Re: Guix package manager installation error on Xubuntu 20.04
In general, don't 'sudo wget' or 'sudo curl' anything, one never knows. curl | sudo bash securely like a responsible person.

Guix package manager installation error on Xubuntu 20.04
Hi Guix Users! I am sorry to come again with a problem in such a short time. At work I set up a machine and wanted to install Guix package manager there as well. The following is what happened: user@user-ThinkPad-T470s:~/Downloads$ sudo bash guix-install.sh (big guix logo here) This script installs GNU Guix on your system https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/ Press return to continue... [1593609766.770]: Starting installation (Mi 1. Jul 15:22:46 CEST 2020) [1593609766.771]: [ PASS ] verification of required commands completed [1593609766.774]: [ FAIL ] Missing OpenPGP public key. Fetch it with this command: wget https://sv.gnu.org/people/viewgpg.php?user_id=15145 -qO - | gpg --import - OK, I thought, then I'll do that. I tried multiple times and this is the latest output of the key adding: user@user-ThinkPad-T470s:~/Downloads$ wget https://sv.gnu.org/people/viewgpg.php?user_id=15145 -qO - | gpg --import - gpg: key 090B11993D9AEBB5: 129 signatures not checked due to missing keys gpg: key 090B11993D9AEBB5: "Ludovic Courtès " not changed gpg: key 090B11993D9AEBB5: "Ludovic Courtès " not changed gpg: Total number processed: 2 gpg: unchanged: 2 So the key is definitely there now. However, the original error message of the installer persists. I think there might be some issue with the keys. It could also be the newly installed Xubuntu 20.04 LTS on that machine, but I have no idea, why or how it would cause such a problem. Is this a known problem and do you know a solution to this? I could provide more detail, if I knew where to look or what to do to debug. Regards, Zelphir -- repositories: https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl
flatpak doesn't set XDG_DATA_DIRS
It seems flatpak doesn't update XDG_DATA_DIRS, so installed applications doesn't show in the desktop and have to be started manually using `flatpak run ...`. Should the package set this? If not, what's the best practice in setting this? Note that the directories '/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share' '/home/simendsjo/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share' are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the session is restarted.
