`guix pull` fails after fresh install
Hello Guix Community! I ran into an issue after freshly installing Guix System. When logged in as a normal user, `guix pull` printed the following output: Migrating profile generations to '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/user'... guix pull: error: symlink: File exists: "/var/guix/profiles/per-user/user/current-guix" `guix pull` was invoked before by root, but guix has not been called by the unprivileged user before. $ ls -l /var/guix/profiles/per-user/user/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 user users 19 Jul 18 22:13 current-guix -> current-guix-0-link lrwxrwxrwx 1 user users 19 Jul 18 22:43 guix-profile -> guix-profile-2-link lrwxrwxrwx 1 user users 51 Jul 18 22:23 guix-profile-1-link -> /gnu/store/skvmv3zpzd06pj0jq57m0xjvx0hdjnkr-profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 user users 51 Jul 18 22:43 guix-profile-2-link -> /gnu/store/mzn60p0kd8kiwdj9qqan73664yn6b0s0-profile -rw-r--r-- 1 user users 0 Jul 18 22:40 guix-profile.lock I tried: * guix gc * guix gc -R * guix gc --referrers * guix gc --verify * guix gc --verify=repair but to no avail. Should I just delete current-guix? Link it to my current profile? Or the system's profile? Thanks in advance for your advice, Gabriel
Re: xmodmap doesn't before pressing any button keyboard
I also use EXWM, and made good experiences with setting keyboard remapping options directly in my system's config.scm (via the :options of keyboard-layout, which sets XKB options; see the manual for examples: https://guix.gnu.org/de/manual/en/html_node/Keyboard-Layout.html). However, I just use it to remap capslock to escape (for vim/evil-mode), so if you need more, I'm not sure if it'll work for you — I've never used xmodmap, I'm not sure if you can do everything using XKB options that xmodmap can do — at first glance xmodmap seems more general. ~stuebinm On 18.07.21 16:41, Akib Azmain Turja wrote: I have setup my Emacs iwth EXWM.

Re: xmodmap doesn't before pressing any button keyboard
hello! you are using Guix-system, right? you might want to add some extra X.org-configuration to your systems declaration. for example, if you're using the Slim login-manager, here's a snippet from my Guix-system-declaration which makes X.org map caps-lock to ctrl while using the german keyboard layout: --8<---cut here---start->8--- (slim-service #:startx (xorg-start-command #:configuration-file (xorg-configuration-file #:extra-config (list "Section \"InputClass\" Identifier \"Keyboard Defaults\" MatchIsKeyboard \"on\" Option \"XkbLayout\" \"de\" Option \"XkbOptions\" \"ctrl:nocaps\" EndSection" --8<---cut here---end--->8--- how do you start EXWM? if you start it with an ~/.xsession file, that's also a good place to put your keyboard-initialization code in, as far as i know. ciao mekeor 2021-07-18 / 20:41 / akib8...@gmail.com: > [[PGP Signed Part:Undecided]] > I have setup my Emacs iwth EXWM.

xmodmap doesn't before pressing any button keyboard
I have setup my Emacs iwth EXWM. I am trying to remap several keys to avoid repetitive strain injury (RSI), also known as Emacs pinky. To accomplish that, I am using xmodmap. It works perfectly when I invoke the command directly. However it doesn't work when I put it in Emacs startup files. After several days of research, I discovered that xmodmap only works when I have pressed atleast one key in my keyboard.

Re: Docker image sizes
I think it is expected. Docker images use only the kernel from the host OS when the host kernel is Linux (the host kernel, not the host OS).
