Introducing Guix to HPC at my institution
Dear all, (I am reposting a question I asked on the guix-science list -- with a broader audience here I hope someone has an answer :) ) I am interested in introducing Guix to the HPC cluster at my institution, and it turns out they have user namespaces activated \o/. So I'm looking into getting things running as an unpriviliged user, to show other people how useful Guix can be (before approaching higher levels in the administration). Is it possible to install guix without being root? I tried a few things, based on the following notes: https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2017/09/reproducibility-and-root-privileges/ https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2017/10/using-guix-without-being-root/ http://issues.guix.gnu.org/34494 I am now following Guix's binary installation inside a user namespace. After decompressing the binary distribution of guix inside `~/local-guix`, my naïve next step was `unshare -mrf chroot ~/local-guix gnu/store/mmhimfwmmidf09jw1plw3aw1g1zn2nkh-bash-static-5.0.16/bin/bash`. Then after setting $GUIX_PROFILE and sourcing `/root/.config/guix/current`, running `guix` warns with: GC Warning: pthread_getattr_np or pthread_attr_getstack failed for main thread GC Warning: Couldn't read /proc/stat So my very limited knowledge of linux namespaces is hindering my next steps :). A few questions: 1. Should I do anything about the first warning? About the second warning: should I be binding `/proc` somehow? 2. Is it possible to create build users inside the user-namespaced chroot? 3. Last but not least: if I can create build users inside the chroot (question 2.), I suppose I can then run guix-daemon properly. How would I go about sharing this setup with other users on the cluster? Ideally I would like to have a non-priviliged build daemon that other users can call on. (Is there such a thing as kernel group namespaces?) Is this the right way to go for running guix without being root, or is there a better way? Thanks for any guidance you might provide! Best, Sébastien
guix pull errors
Hi, I'm getting tons of guix pull errors these days. They look like they are related with network issues because they disappear if I insist (many times) and they appear in different packages. They look like this: ``` guix/ui.scm:2164:12: In procedure run-guix-command: Bad Read-Header-Line header: # substitution of /gnu/store/c39c4jhgg1pq3sw083pcmp42gba05kr2-evince-3.36.5 failed ``` I'm finding them all the time. I think they are very cryptic... Maybe we can do something about that. Best, Ekaitz

I don't see anything out of the ordinary here. I don't use the nomodeset

Those all sound right to me. My .Xauthority contains a binary magic
cookie. You could delete the file and let X generate it next time it
starts up. Check your file permissions on all those files to make sure
you have read access to them.
> I do not know if the graphics card is supported by Guix?
To me, it sounds like this is still the most likely culprit. Perhaps
your graphics card just doesn't have corresponding drivers in the
linux-libre kernel.
For reference, here's my config.scm. It boots up directly into a
graphical login prompt, and upon logging in, it runs emacs-exwm as my
window manager. My exwm settings are in ~/.exwm, and my general emacs
settings are in ~/.emacs.d/init.el. My ~/.xsession file is a symlink to
my ~/.xinitrc file and ends with a call to exwm.
