Problems with tracker-miners(?)
Hey Guix, Please forgive my ignorance here. I am not fully with it in terms of how GNOME works. It seems to me that many aspects of GNOME are just broken since the day I installed it with my Guix System. More specifically, those that might be related to tracker-miners. A few immediate examples are gnome-music, totem and gnome-photos. None of these are able to find/use my media. A different, probably unrelated issue is that Nautilus doesn't show any thumbnails. In terms of configuration I am using the following services and packages on the system level: - (define gnome-extras (list gnome-tweaks gnome-shell-extensions peek seahorse)) (packages (append (list docker-compose light nss-certs sbcl stumpwm+slynk xsecurelock emacs) gnome-extras %base-packages)) (services (modify-services (append (list (service gnome-desktop-service-type) (service gnome-keyring-service-type) (service docker-service-type) (service cups-service-type (cups-configuration (web-interface? #t) (extensions (list hplip cups-filters foomatic-filters)) (default-paper-size "Letter"))) (bluetooth-service) (set-xorg-configuration (xorg-configuration (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))) (udev-rules-service 'light light)) %desktop-services) (guix-service-type config => (guix-configuration (inherit config) (substitute-urls (append (list "https://substitutes.nonguix.org";) %default-substitute-urls)) (authorized-keys (append (list (local-file "./nongnu.pub")) %default-authorized-guix-keys)) - Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you all -- Trev : 0FB7 D06B 4A2A F07E AD5B 1169 183B 6306 8AA1 D206
wlroots update - new repo
Hi Guix, guix' wlroots is pretty old (0.14.1 compared to the newest version 0.15.1). I have several packages (tools, compositors) that require a newer version or at least profit from it. Maybe it's relevant that they switched repo to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/ , and so "guix refresh" doesn't find the new versions ? ;) I would also want to encourage opening new modules for wayland compositors and/or tooling. I just think it's more clean then appending them to "gnu/packages/wm.scm" Kind regards, florhizome

Re: How to package nyxt plugins?
Hi, Currently Nyxt 2.2.4 packaged for Guix uses the gnu-build-system, which does _not_ expose the Nyxt "systems" to ASDF. To fix this, we should switch to the asdf-build-system, which would require only a few changes to the recipe. Then the nx-router recipe could be written like any other SBCL packages, with `nyxt` as input. Hope this helps! Pierre signature.asc Description: PGP signature
installing mitmproxy with Guix
Hello,
I just finished making my first working package definition (acutally, a
set of definitions...) for Guix. It's for mitmproxy, a popular
TLS-enabled proxy for observing and modifying HTTP(s) traffic, written
in Python.
I wanted to share this with others. The package module file is attached
- I'm making it available to everyone under Creative Commons Zero as
indicated by the SPDX identifier in the file.
I suspect I could instead make the changes in Guix' repo, make a commit,
generate a patch from git and send it to guix-patc...@gnu.org, but
- as you'll see, the package forced update of inputs of several existing
packages and my current solution seems too imperfect to be included
(even though it works),
- it's my first attempt at Guix packaging and there'll likely be some
other issues that need resolving
- preparing and submitting a patch is simply more time-consuming than
sending a .scm file 😅
- maybe I'm just unconsciously seeking integration with people?
Nevertheless, what do you think would be the best way to address the
conflict of propagated inputs (in this case caused by
python-cryptography and python-cryptography-next being required at the
same time)?
Best,
Wojtek

9pfs declaration
I currently have guix running inside qemu, and am trying to mount a shared 9p filesystem on boot. When I try using the mount tag in the file-system device declaration, it throws an error. I saw that in gun/system/vm.scm, they are using a file-system->mount_tag declaration, but I can’t figure out how to make that work with my system conf. Any ideas?

Same thing here (sans public-inbox). I also found that isync was considerably faster than offlineimap. Two years ago I had the impression that offlineimap was in the process of being abandoned, due in particular to the side note from the maintainer here: http://www.offlineimap.org/ . However, when I check various Git repos today, it seems that offlineimap is still quite alive and kicking. - Sergiu
