Yes, I was told the same when I asked in irc. I think that should be underlined in the manual because it is very confusing. I was really wondering what I was doing wrong. In fact, I should have read the code directly. >> […] >> The last solution would be to overwrite my current distribution by >> guix and replace the init system by sheperd. > >Yes, just `guix system reconfigure` from an existing distro. I've been able to install archlinux which uses syslinux as its bootloader, I plan to keep the base install of archlinux in a first time and guix for the rest, and when I am be a bit more familiar with guix and can confidently generate a syslinux based bootloader configuration I'll use `guix system reconfigure` as you suggested. I've tried other grub based live-usbs, and all fail at the same point whatever the setup of GRUB so I think this is a GRUB bug (probably introduced fairly recently because my previous bootloader was GRUB and it worked perfectly).

Re: Updating LXTerminal from v0.3.2 to v0.4.0
Wow; 'thought I'd sent this sometime last year. Your response, unfortunately, got put in the Spam folder and I just found it and thought it'd been months since you got back to me. Apparently, my last two months have been /rough/. zimoun writes: > Hi, > > On Mon, 07 Mar 2022 at 18:12, Jaft wrote: > >> Starting download of >> /gnu/store/89xj37ra014gxky8kmjrrbf3ndnia36l-lxterminal-0.4.0.tar.xz >> From >> http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lxde/LXTerminal%20%28terminal%20emulator%29/LXTerminal%200.4.0/lxterminal-0.4.0.tar.xz... >> download failed >> "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lxde/LXTerminal%20%28terminal%20emulator%29/LXTerminal%200.4.0/lxterminal-0.4.0.tar.xz"; >> 404 "Not Found" > > I think the error is because a wrong ’.0’ instead of ’.x’. > > This URL works for me: > > http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lxde/LXTerminal%20%28terminal%20emulator%29/LXTerminal%200.4.x/lxterminal-0.4.0.tar.xz Awesome; thanks a ton. 'Don't know why I hadn't just thought of it the first time but I went to http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lxde/LXTerminal%20%28terminal%20emulator%29/ and clicked on the link for LXTerminal and there was the folder, exactly as you pointed out (with ".x"). Oh, well; better late than never. > Hope that helps. By leaps and bounds. Just managed to build it; I switched to Wayland so no longer using LXTerminal but I'm sure others would like the newer version: 'gonna get this into a patch and send it in. Thanks (a ton), again!
