Problem with Guix install with openbox
Hi there, As a former Guile programmer I like the idea to configure my system using guile. I installed Guix in a vm (VmwareFusion I have to admit) and everything worked fine. I used the graphical installer and chose Openbox as a Windowmanager-Option. Unfortunately after Installation the desktop is empty and right-click menu contains only dead links. I also tride installing lxde afterwards with no options effect. Any hint what I can do to solve the issue? Thanks! Alex
Re: Problem with Guix install with openbox
Dear Timothy, Thank you for the hint. Unfortunately “~/.config/openbox/menu.xml” does not exists and "find ~/.config -name openbox” does not yield any result. Also my ~/.guix-profile/bin is very unpopulated. Also at command line prompt I don’t have emacs. Shouldn’d this be installed by the install process? W.r.t. how I “installed” lxde (just by guix install lxde). Do I need to reconfigure every time I install something? Cheers, Alex > On 22.

Re: Problem with Guix install with openbox
That was it actually. No program was installed - at least not for my user. A simple Guix install xterm/emacs/… solved the issue. Thanks, Alex > On 22.

Booting GUIX in single user
Hi there, While experimenting with Guix and installing one more package the disk of the test system filled to 100%. After shutting down the system to provide more disk to the VM, after reboot, the gdm session is indefinitely started and killed. I tried to boot into non-x11 (level3) or single user mode but unfortunately the option I pass to Grub seems not to be recognized by the linux-libre kernel. Any hint where I find the correct boot options for a Guix System, so I can repair my system? Thanks, Alex PS: one more thing. Is there any documentation about the packages? How to use them after just Guix install? After installing a package, e.g. a window manager like exam or a desktop environment like lxde additional steps are necessary for a user to use them. Can I find these steps somewhere? In particular to do the configuration such that it is compatible with the package and will not brake after updating the package to a new version.
Re: Booting GUIX in single user
Hi, I tried “single” and 3. Now I tried —root and it still booted into gdm. Alex > On 24.

Guix installation image
Dear all, I would really like to install Guix on my Dell XPS 13 (9380) and give Guix a try not only in VM bur on a my main device. Unfotunately it refuses to boot the installation image. After selecting the boot device I only see a nonbliking cursor. I checked the partition table of the image and was supprised so see: > sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda > GPT PMBR size mismatch (2694403 != 4014079) will be corrected by write. > The backup GPT table is not on the end of the device.

Best base system for Guix
Dear all, of course the optimum is probably a pure native Guix system. But if this is not possible, what system forms the best base for Guix. I've tried arch and debian 11 and noticed that the packages available in Guix under arch are way more recent (e.g icecat 91 vs 6x) and more in general. Also I'm asking myself how Guix deals with different systems/kernels/base installations and how it decides which packages will work? Isn't there any dependence? Is this documented somewhere? Thanks for any help. Cheers, Alex signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: Best base system for Guix
Dear Tobias, thank you for your fast and comprehensive answer. On arch I never had any problem; it was on debian 11 that the packages were outdated. However I did a guix pull and now icecat is recent. Curious if I forgot to do so the last time I tried to install icecat 91 I looked at my bash history. And that's what I found: > 1157 guix pull > 1158 echo $PATH > 1159 source .bashrc > 1160 [...] > 1161 echo $PATH > 1162 [...] > 1163 guix > 1164 guix --help > 1165 guix pull > 1166 guix install icecat > 1167 guix search icecat It looks as if guix first was not found but then it was found an I definitively did a pull before trying to install icecat 91. But it was only the older version that was found by guix. That was why I did the search command later on. Strange! Anyway, now it works.

Re: Best base system for Guix
Ok, you all convinced me to give Guix a third try (yes I already gave up twice). Today I installed guix on a seperate partition aside the Debian-11 install on the same HD. Everything went fine but for the bootloader. I thought maybe it's best to not install it and let os-prober on the Debian side discover the Guix system (which I mounted on /mnt). Unfortunately it seems not to recognize the Guix-Install (maybe because the kernel-image is hidden deep in the store?). Vice versa I could add the Debian partition to the Guix config but if something goes wrong ... ? Any advice? I'd really like to switch to guix (particularly because I've programmed a lot in guile in the late 90s and like the idea to configure my system in scheme :-) Bests, Alex On Thu, Nov 11 2021, 15:47:52, André A.

Re: Best base system for Guix
Dear Florian (and André),
I found the cause. It was my fault I created a second EFI partition for
the guix grub (to be sure it doesn't make my Debian installation
unbootable) and mounted the EFI partition on /mnt/boot (instead of
/mnt/boot/efi) This way the EFI directory was not top level an more
important the bootcode that was made known to the efi was at the wrong
location.
Now the guix system is woking fine.
Of course now the next issues arise, like "how do I configure postfix
under guix" and what is the right way to make my keyboard layout known
to the system (so far I have added a few lines (a variant) to the
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us file, wich is now hidden somewhere in the
guix-store)? Guix configuration is really very different from other
*ix'es. Are packages configurable at all without writing scheme-modules
for them? An where would this configuration go? Is everything hidden in
some directories in the gnu store?
Cheers,
Alex

I'm not using a predifined layout from /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols but some self-defined variant based on us. This means I have to edit a file under /usr/share but that was the way it was done since I work with X11 (back in the 90s) and so far I haven't found a replacement for it that allows to fully define own keyboardlayouts. >> Guix configuration is really very different from other >> *ix'es.

Re: xounalpp package issues
I found the reason. Xournal++ needs gnome-icon-theme to be installed as well. So it should probably go into the dependencies of the package. -- Alex On Fri, Nov 19 2021, 09:40:17, Alexander Asteroth wrote: > [[PGP Signed Part:Undecided]] > Hi, > > im pretty sure it has nothing to do with ALSA.

Texlive issues
Dear all,
now that I've figured out what was missing for xounalpp to run properly
I wanted t recompile some LaTeX-slides. I installed the texlive package
and also here I encoutered an error.
The minimal example to reproduce it ist (on my system)

Since I haven't set any environment Variables for TeX and the test.tex
file is so simple I have really no clue what could be the cause (other
than some misconfiguration but then the previous call should not have
been successful either).

downgrade issue on guix system
Dear all, I just wanted to install cups service on my guix system. I recofigured the system without an error one hour ago (introduced seperate home filesystem) and now, when I try to add the cups service (I did a guix pull in between as well) I get: > guix system: error: aborting reconfiguration because commit > bd2aa8031babdca5f574fca52e025d6794f08d82 of channel 'guix' is not a > descendant of 7f974548ac20cab88b9bb589a5e1d85ee3b8d337 > hint: Use `--allow-downgrades' to force this downgrade.

Re: downgrade issue on guix system
Found the cause. To reconfigure I "sudo -s" first. But if I run > GUIX_PROFILE="~/.guix-profile" && . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile" guix profile is sourced but PATH is still the original users path und guix is found there (causing the error). If I do > GUIX_PROFILE="/root/.guix-profile" && echo "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile" the result is as expected: > /root/.guix-profile/etc/profile but PATH is not updated afterwards (=> error). If do do a regular login as root then everything is fine!

Re: downgrade issue on guix system
Dear all, just to close this thread... The fault was to "sudo -s" to reconfigure the system which did not comletely set all neccessary variables (guix was pulled into roots profile but run from users profile). Either *really* logging in as root or probably much better (which I do now) just "sudo guix system reconfigure ..." resolves the issue (because the path to guix refers to the correct location in either cases). Thank's Julien for pointing me into the right direction.

Re: Texlive issues
Dear all, this issue is resolved, but I have no idea why. After I noticed that the issue does not occur if I use a fresh test-account, I resolved this issue by removing my home-directory, recreating it and create a fresh guix-profile (which actually is not created freshly, because it is per user and does not live in the users homedir). Then I repopulated my homedirectory and it all works fine. Strangly although the directory contains the same files after the process and the profile is unchanged, still everything works now and didn't before. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the problem now. It just disappeared. (the only thing I can think of is, that the (pseudo-)-recreation of my profile fixed some problem.

jupyter failing while trying to modify /gnu/store
Dear all,
yesterday I added jupyter to my profile and it worked perfectly
fine. Overnight I shut down the computer and rebooted today.
Now jupyter refuses to start with the messages below. It seems that
jupyter-notebook tries to create directories (or modifiy them) in the location
it
is installed wich is mounted ro. I have no idea why this didn't happen
yesterday but it seems that there is some misconfiguration somewhere...
Cheers,
Alex
PS: same effect with jupyterlab from the guix-science channel.

Re: jupyter failing while trying to modify /gnu/store
I now tried to run it using
> guix shell --pure jupyter -- jupyter-notebook
works perfectly fine.
... wait ...
I found the cause:
in ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile environment variables are set:
> export
> JUPYTER_PATH="${GUIX_PROFILE:-/gnu/store/ichrcarq2k4lhdmm2izc3f1xjbziz49v-profile}/share/jupyter${JUPYTER_PATH:+:}$JUPYTER_PATH"
> export
> JUPYTER_CONFIG_DIR="${GUIX_PROFILE:-/gnu/store/ichrcarq2k4lhdmm2izc3f1xjbziz49v-profile}/etc/jupyter${JUPYTER_CONFIG_DIR:+:}$JUPYTER_CONFIG_DIR"
The jupyter config path causes the problem, since jupyter tries to write
into it (and it is located in a read only filesystem). Unsetting the
environment variable solves the issue.
Cheers,
Alex

As you can see, the first messages all happen instantly and after the max client message there is a 2 min pause. I have also another problem related to my printer wich is a Samsung SCX-472x-series (accessed over ethernet). On openprinting.org the suggested driver is (https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Samsung/Samsung-SCX-472x) from Samsung. So far I used it on debian and arch and it worked perfect, but I thik it's non-GPL. I can import only the ppd file for my printer but this refers to some filter /gnu/store/2q9cn98ahgba3fjgvjlnlvb4j928z17j-cups-server-bin/lib/cups/filter/rastertospl which is not present in guix (but would be installed by the Samsung installer to some place noexistent in guix). Any idea how to prodeed to get my printing working? Cheers, Alex
Re: Issues with CUPS
Hi Tobias,
thanks for the hint (see below). After touching /etc/cups/cupsd.conf it
immediately worked perfectly fine.
W.r.t. your other email:
> - Which PPD file did you import? Was it[0]? If not, try that.
I have no idea what it[0] is. The ppd I used before is from the Samsung
uld-package and is called Samsung_SCX-472x_Series.ppd
> - Why remove foomatic-filters from the default CUPS extensions list?
I was not aware that adding filters to the service description overrides
the filters default values. I thought it just add's them and somewhere
it was remommended adding the hplib-minimal filters, and in my
helplessness I tried everything ;-)
Anyway, I gave other Samsung drivers a try and with the SCX-5330N I found a
driver that also seems to work with my SCX-4729.
... Now it works! Thanks!
Cheers,
Alex

ffmpeg possibly missing compile option?
Dear all, I'm trying to use vlc and ffmpeg on guix to cut mp4 files. When trying to play the mp4 files using vlc I encounter errors like: > Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object > file: No such file or directory In [0] it is suggested that missing compile options are the reason for these kind of errors might be missing compile flags (--enable...) which are in fact not enabled in the package specification of ffmpeg. On te ofther hand I tried to install vdpauinfo and it returns: > $ vdpauinfo > display: :0 screen: 0 > Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object > file: No such file or directory > Error creating VDPAU device: 1 So it might be caused by missing libraries for my graphicscard. Any idea? Someone? Cheers, Alex [0] https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=517583
Re: ffmpeg possibly missing compile option?
I was on the wrong track. Even though the library is not found this is not the cause of the error. If I start vlc in a smaller frame (screen is 4k), something like less than 3k width, it works. If I resize the frame to more than 3/4 of the screen width, vlc just shows a black screen while sound still works. Strange!

Re: X11 cursor size
Dear Gary, I tried this already an the effect is, that the default pointer (in X11 outside of any window) changes from a cross to a left_ptr but the size does not change. If I understand correctly, I need to have type1 fonts for that which I included in my config by adding `font-xfree86-type1` to my systems package list (but the corresponding path doesn't show up in the X11-fontpath). Also I'm wondering how to set the cursor size because by just executing `xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr` I set the cursor shape/type but how do I specify the size? Recepies from the net suggest to do this via a `fonts.alias` but that doesn't seem to have an effect either.

Old packages in GUIX under Debian stable
Dear all, I'm currently playing around with GUIX on a current Debian stable (11.4) release. More precisely I'm trying to substitute the "GUIX-System"-part of GUIX by Debian and install (nearly) all other packages using GUIX. At first this worked perfectly fine but suddenly after a guix pull, guix is presenting me with really old software e.g. (all other softwares seem to be as old as well): name: icecat version: 78.4.0-guix0-preview1 I verified that the version of the guix binary is from my current profile, the environment variables are freshly set from current profile as well. Any hint about what could have gone wrong here? I was suspecting the old kernel and libraries from Debian causing this but since it worked in the first place that cannot be the cause. Cheers, Alex

If did that now (guix remove guix) and guix now points to /usr/local/bin/guix (as installed by the guix install script). Still `guix search icecat` shows version 78 as current ``` $ guix describe guix a0178d3 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: a0178d34f582b50e9bdbb0403943129ae5b560ff ``` Now I ran a 'guix pull' anbd sourced the profile ``` $guix describe Generation 3Jul 28 2022 13:26:16(current) guix bdb2e26 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: bdb2e262fcbea76de807cd829c2d2270661546a5 ``` ``` $type guix guix is hashed ($HOME/.config/guix/current/bin/guix) ``` and now software seems to be recent. Finally. One thing I noticed during this process is that the location of the users profile seems to have changed at some point from .guix-profile to .config/guix/current and that my shell init files referred to the wrong location maybe that caused the issues in the first place?

guix shell set user groups to access security token
Dear all, I'm trying to get my security token software (sealone) to work under guix SD. The software is unfortunately not available in source and seems to expect a FSH filesystem. I therefore tried to run it in guix shell. A first trial was: guix shell -CFD ungoogled-chromium gcc:lib --expose=/dev in this environment I can execute the software and the tokes get's connected but reports some error condition and is not usable. It might have to do with the user not beeing in group cdrom which usually is necessary to access /dev/sg0. Any idea how to set the groups the user is member of in guix shell? Or any other idea how I could get such software to work under guix? Cheers, Alex
Re: guix shell set user groups to access security token
Thank's for the simple workaround. It helped to find out that the error is not caused by the user's group ids. In fact it's related to missing network access. I solved it by providing --network to the shell but unfortunately this only worked exactly one single time. Now as soon as I enable the network, the usb-connection to the token vis /dev/sg0 is not estblished at all. Very strange (in particular, that it worked one time).

How to handle concurrent QT versions
Dear all, since two month I didn't update my guix system now since I have a few self compiled softwares that depend on QT@5.15 (qtbase, etc.) which I need every day. Now version 6 of QT replaces 5 everywhere and whithout updating to 6 I cannot update a lot of other packages. How do you guys handle this situation? Or am I the only one facing this problem. Cheers, Alex
Re: How to handle concurrent QT versions
Dear Andreas, thanks for the reply. If I get you correctly the point you make: > [...] unless you also install the Qt libraries into your profile. is probably the cause of my problem. I did not build the softwares as guix packages but simply made them compile (after some manual changes to the code) in my current environment. If I now run a `guix package -u` the libraries (from qtbase) get upgraded from 5.15.5 to 6.3.1 and the program fails to run. I guess I either need to make them into guix packages or let them run in the old guix environment they were build in, right?

Then it will probably be as easy (an cleaner) to make the program into a "real" guix package with all the correct dependencies and install this package.

openssl libcrypto dependency on glibc@2.34?
Dear all, I'm trying to build Python@3.12 on my current guix distribution. However since Python's `pip` depends on `openssl` I need the `openssl` package. But somehow openssl seems to be compiled agaist `glibc@2.34` but version 2.34 is not available in current guix (only .33 and .35). Or am I getting something completely wrong here?

I would guess that pthread_rwlock_rdlock was introduced in glibc@2.34 and its trying to pickup your system's earlier version of glibc. That probably was the case. I was trying to create the package by hand. After several updates (I tried out a few things) it somehow finally worked but I can't tell what was the cause. Cheers Alex
LD_LIBRARY_PATH issues when compiling package
Dear all,
I've had an installation of python3.{11,12} on my guix system that
worked for a few months now, installed using a minimalistic
package description (see [0] at the end of this post).
After updating my guix installation two days ago it stopped
working whith weird `pip3` errors concerning `module '_ctypes' not
found`.
Rolling back to the old environment didn't help.
Trying to find out what caused the error I compiled python3.11.7
in my home environment and noticed a warning that in fact the
`_ctypes` module was disabled after compilation because the
`libffi` library wasn't found (even thought it was installed).
Changing the configuration to:
```
$ ./configure --enable-optimizations --prefix="$HOME/.local/"
LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/.guix-profile/lib"
```
did resolve the issue resulting in a working local installation.
Now I have basically three questions:
1. how can I advice the package build process (see [0]) to set the
LDFLAGS correctly?
(shouldn't this be done by adding `(input [...] libffi [...] )`
to the package description?)
2. how do programs in a guix system find the libraries (which
reside in $HOME/.guix-profile/lib and in the store directories)
anyway?
3. does anybody have an idea what could have caused the library
not to be found anymore after an update of the packages?
(that even could not be resolved by rolling back to the old
environment of before the change)
Cheers and Merry Christmas
Alex

why does '-e' work differently in guix shell and guix package?
When I do ``` $ guix shell --network --container --emulate-fhs bash coreutils -e '(list (@@ (gnu packages commencement) gcc) "lib")' ``` I get a shell, that has `libstdc++.so.6` in `/lib`. But when I do ``` $ guix package -e '(list (@@ (gnu packages commencement) gcc) "lib")' guix package: error: expression "(list (@@ (gnu packages commencement) gcc) \"lib\")" does not evaluate to a package ``` I get an error. Why is that? Cheers Alex PS: reason I'm trying that is, that the recent pytorch-version installed via pip complains about not finding libstdc++ which is in the lib output of the superseeded gcc package and I thought this might resolve my problem.
