Re: Online accounts in Evolution (and Calendar)
Hi, I have some additional information to share: - Initially (see below), when I entered my login information into gnome-online-accounts, nothing was displayed in Calendar or Evolution. - For some reason, Calendar and Evolution now display the list of my calendars and address book; but they can't connect to their contents.

Online accounts in evolution
Hi, I did a fresh install of Guix system 1.4, installed the evolution package and then imported an evolution-backup archive made on a previous guix system, which I did in the past several times successfully, but this time the online accounts (Nextcloud: calendar, address book) were not taken into evolution account (nor Calendar), although I defined my Nextcloud account in gnome-settings. I then checked if the evolution-data-server and gnome-online-accounts packages were installed, which they apparently were not, and installed them, but the result is the same: online accounts are not taken into evolution account. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Christophe

Cantarell font with the gnome desktop interface
Hello, Since I use a profile based on kernel 5.18, the cantarell font is not available in the gnome desktop interface (gnome-tweak / fonts): the cantarell font is not listed in the list of available interface fonts. When I revert to a profile based on a 5.17 kernel, the cantarell font is available in the gnome desktop interface (and selected by default). What can I do to find the cantarell font with a profile based on kernel 5.18? Thank you Christophe
gnome-shell-extension
Hello, With gnome 3.34, I was using different extensions for gnome-shell, especially the excellent "material-shell" (tiling manager among others stuff) [1] By switching to gnome 40, the extensions are not managed with gnome- tweaks and I can't use any of my extensions. Does anyone know how to handle shell extensions with gnome 40 on guix? - if I understood correctly, guix doesn't allow to install extensions from the site: https://extensions.gnome.org - nothing occur when I try to launch 'gnome-shell-extensions' Thank for your help Christophe [1] https://github.com/material-shell/material-shell

Incorrect display of system fonts after guix system reconfigure (2021_10_29)
Hello, I installed some time ago guix system (1.3) on a Lenovo libreboot with the gnome desktop. I made today:guix pullfollowed by sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm and I lost the cantarell fonts for the gnome desktop display. I then selected (in gnome-tweaks) the available fonts (liberation serif, etc.) but the display of the menus is still faulty (bold fonts without precise outline). The problem already appears from the gdm login screen. So I went back to the previous generation and everything is displayed correctly (with liberation serif as with cantarell). Below is the list of the two generations of guix system concerned. Generation 6 is working; generation 7 is the one with the problem. Any ideas?

freecad 19.1 / flatpak
Hello,
After having failed to install freecad from an Appimage on guix system
(1), a new version of freecad (freecad 19.1) has just been realised and
proposed on flathub (2).
Unfortunately, the addon manager does not work with this version of
freecad on flathub on guix system. But it is in the addons that we find
one of the main functions until a mature version can be included in the
main project: the assembly modules (A2+, Assembly2, Assembly4).
Here are the error messages:
1) When launching freecad from terminal:
$ flatpak run org.freecadweb.FreeCAD

I don't understand all the nuances of this discussion (I'm sorry), but it seems to me that the problem is, in the case of the development version of freecad, that the sources are not published regularly. The sources were last published in 2019 (1), while freecad offers an Appimage almost every week. So building something from the sources of the development code doesn't add much value to the stable version. I must certainly be missing something, so once again sorry.

Appimage: cannot run binary file
Hello, I would like to use the development version of freecad (currently freecad 0.19), but only stable freecad (freecad 0.18) is in the guix package. The alternative solution is to use the freecad Appimage (1) as explain here (2) but it doesn't work on my guix system. Here are the error messages I get when I launch the freecad Appimage from terminal: $ . /home/christophe/Téléchargements/FreeCAD_0.19-23578-Linux- Conda_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage bash: .: /home/christophe/Téléchargements/FreeCAD_0.19-23578-Linux- Conda_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage : ne peut exécuter le fichier binaire (= cannot run binary file). Any idea? Christophe (1) https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.19_pre (2) https://wiki.freecadweb.org/AppImage

Re: How to configure a printer on Guix System
After several random tests, I found what prevents printing and displays
the error message "filter failed" in the web interface of cups:
The ppd file I used uses the postscript language, but if I use the ppd
file in PDF language, printing works:
Ricoh-MP_C3003-PDF-Ricoh.ppd: "ok"
Ricoh-MP_C3003-Postscript-Ricoh.ppd: "filter failed"
Since openprinting offers both ppd files, that's okay, but I would find
it useful to know if there is anything to specify in the guix
configuration file for postscript ppd to work.

define PATH and PROFILE
Hello, sorry for the newbie question. 1) after guix pull, I get the following message: export PATH="$HOME/.config/guix/current/bin:$PATH" export INFOPATH="$HOME/.config/guix/current/share/info:$INFOPATH" I don't quite understand what to type in the terminal. Should I replace $HOME or HOME with the path of my directory, for example: export PATH="/home/christophe/.config/guix/current/bin:$PATH" and then: export INFOPATH="/home/christophe/.config/guix/current/share/info:$INFOPATH" 2) similar question with this message: GUIX_PROFILE="/home/christophe/.guix-profile" . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile" Is this two actions (two step in the terminal, the first line and "enter" then the second line and "enter")? And does the second line really begin with a dot? In both questions (1 et 2), I have tried several options but the terminal does not return any message (neither error nor success message) Again, sorry for the newbie question. PS: I use guix system with the installer 1.2.

Hello,
Thank you for the detailed explanations. I'm almost there:
- I modified the file /etc/config.scm according to the indications of
Tobias G-R, added (gnu packages cups) in "use-modules", then performed
"guix reconfigure /etc/config.scm" and after restarting, I was able to
access the web interface of cups (http://localhost:631/).
- I added my network printer, used the ppd file from openprinting.org,
and the printer is recognized.
- when I print the test page, the cups web interface says that the
connection with the printer is established, but the printing fails due
to the error: "Filter failed".
In attached document, my config.scm file to know if it contains an
error and which filters are installed.
Any idea?

My problem is that I still don't understand guix well enough: I don't know in which file to write this configuration of cups (name and path), nor with what tool to define it (nano, terminal, etc.).

How to configure a printer on Guix System
Hello, I don't understand how to configure a printer on Guix System. I should configure the print service, as explain in the manual section 8.8.6, but I don't understand the procedure. I would probably need a "how to". Since now, I installed the following packages: cups, cups-filters, fomatics-filters. When I launch http: // localhost: 631 / in my browser, I receive this information: IceCat can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost: 631. I want to install a Ricoh MPC 3003 printer with a ppd included in openprinting.org: https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Ricoh/Ricoh-MP_C3003 (MIT license) It works on debian. Thank you for your help. Christophe

Anyway, boot time is not a problem for me: I just thought that something did not work in the installation of the system. Indeed, the start-up is confusing (the duration and also some lines are startling), but then, the system is really very fast: that's essential! Thank you for your answers. Christophe
guix system boot time
Hello, I installed guix system 1.1.0 on real hardware (Lenovo T400 with libreboot, Intel P8600 @ 2.40GHz × 2) for a week. The installation went very smoothly and all the hardware is correctly detected. Guix system is very responsive (Gnome 3.32) on this old computer, better than many of the distributions I tested on it before! The only small problem is the system startup, which takes a long time (3 minutes from grub to GDM user login). It is probably due to a problem with the system clock (I get somes warnings: ntpd clock unsynchronized). I don't know where the boot log is on guix system and I don't know if it has to do with GNU bug report logs - #22274. Any Ideas? Thank you Christophe As a side note: In the installer, the keyboard regional settings CH_fr are listed under German (Swiss). It is not very intuitive and contrary to what I have encountered so far (usually CH_fr is listed under French (Swiss) and CH_de under German (swiss)). Should I report this issue?
