var/log/messages

[Gottfried]

Hi Guixers,

in which folder can I find the messages, which are displayed switching 
on the laptop?


normally they are in /var/log/messages.
If I open /var/log/messages with cat there are plenty of information, 
much more than what is displayed on the screen, switching on the laptop.


Are the displayed messages on the screen only a summary of what is 
there? or are the messages in an other folder stored?

(because my ACPI doesn't work and every time it says ACPI bug in bios)

thanks for helping
Gottfried

Re: package exists but not showing

That seems to resolve the issue.

Now guix is at

$ which guix
~/.config/guix/current/bin/guix

Hope this is the expected path.  :)  Thanks

It is the correct path. That's where `guix pull` installs everything.

Re: [PATCH 1/3] gnu: openssl-3.0: Update to 3.0.4.

Hi,

Well, I do not know what are the status of these patches.  However, I
think it would be better to send them to guix-patc...@gnu.org instead of
help-guix@gnu.org.  Whereas all contribution is very welcome whatever
the mean, it eases the work if they go via the Patch Tracker.

See .


Cheers,

Re: emacs-guix and build-farm

Hi,

I do not daily use emacs-guix so I do not know.

…and maybe emacs-guix is doing this under-the-hood which would be really
nice; other said, check the substitute avaibility using the data
provided by an equivalent of “guix weather” and if the substitute is
available, install it.

But it would be more complicated, because you would like to know if all
the dependencies you need are substituable; which is, AFAIK, not
straightforward to know beforehand.

It is a valid state.  You could for example do this:

  guix time-machine -C channels-with-firefox -- install firefox

That would install firefox into your profile, but when you then do “guix
show firefox” it would print an error, because *this* Guix doesn’t know
anything about the “firefox” package.

What is installed is separate from what Guix knows about.  All this
tells you is that the package you installed was provided by a different
version of Guix (with possibly different channels) than the version of
Guix you are using to run “guix show”.

That’s odd.  It means you are running the package guix, not the pulled
guix which usually lives at ~/.config/guix/current/bin/guix

Could you try:

$ ~/.config/guix/current/bin/guix show firefox

?  And if the issue is probably from:

$ cat ~/.config/guix/channels.scm
$ guix package --list-installed | grep guix


Hope that helps,

Run `guix remove guix` ;) You're not supposed to install guix using
`guix install`; it's updated when you `guix pull`.
