Re: Can someone explain to me what happened?
I understood you. It seems. The fact is that I could not login my old configuration on another machine. What of dependencies of GDM? Maybe will be added some more garbage? I don't need it, it can be fixed, but it turns out that the system is unfriendly.
Corrupted Grub after last reconfigure. How to repair?
Hi all! Last reconfigure passed without errors, but no messages about grub installation. After reboot - grub rescue prompt. For example, some command output in rescue console: insmod search # ok, silent insmod linux error: symbol 'some_symbol' not found cd /mnt/boot/; ls -R .: grub ./grub: fonts grub.cfg grubenv i386-pc locale themes ./grub/fonts: unicode.pf2 ./grub/i386-pc: acpi.mod gcry_blowfish.mod lzopio.mod .. # and other modules ./grub/locale: ast.mo d...@hebrew.mo e...@greek.mo .. # and other locales ./grub/themes: starfield ./grub/themes/starfield: blob_w.png boot_menu_sw.png README .. # other files I was able to boot from liveCD Antix and cannot boot from any usb device, despite the fact that the BIOS is set the boot order as first: DVD-ROM -> second: removable dev -> last: system SSD (with GuixSD and /boot directory). What opinions?

Tobias, in answer to Pierre I have added some additional information. I read the help and manual (but partially), and anywhere is no description of my case. Or in other words, I didn't understand what I didn't understand! Sorry. (It would be very nice in addition to the manual to have any simple how-to).

Unexpected results with Guix.
Hello, peolpe! I cannot understand results of this simple sequence of actions: First, update Icecat: guix package -u icecat and then later remove it: guix package -r icecat and view /gnu/store: du -hs -l -t 1M /gnu/store/* | grep -E 'rust|icecat' 274M/gnu/store/0p4blr576rjzpyybfmvygny6ra641w0p-rust-1.37.0 157M/gnu/store/50530hgnzkxgkqciip68dn7v23cslw1c-icecat-60.8.0-guix1 169M /gnu/store/ngsswh27mqxpynwrw6qyjsc3iql1ma3i-icecat-68.2.0-guix0-preview2 I used to deal only with rpm package manager - there unnecessary dependencies would be removed automatically. How do I get the same result with Guix? I don't have much space on the partition =)
Re: Is that normal??
Hardlinks! I hadn't thought of that :) Thanks. > To remove those that are no longer needed by any other package in any of > your profile generations run “guix gc”. You may want to delete unused > profile and system generations first, though. Well, that's obvious. 'guix gc' is executed by cron, and before listing above I specifically executed 'guix package --delete-generations && guix gc --collect-garbage'. In other words, in the first case, the result is already after all possible purges, usually I leave only the last generation and do not store the previous ones.
Is that normal??

Re: Customize PAM configuration
Important notice, thank you! I have read the detailed answer on this page: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4129631/linux-securing-environment-variables and suppose I could use file instead variable. An alternative solution would probably be to configure sudoers file. But here comes the problem with running scripts with root privileges..
Re: Customize PAM configuration
Thanks, Timothy! And sorry for my bad english. > I don’t fully understand what you are trying to do It's elementary! One password for any "local services", such as sudo, GPG encryption, etc. The password is entered once at login and exported to environment variable. As a result, password is available during the user session (for some automation with bash scripts). >From a security perspective, this well normal decision, in my opinion. Thanks for this example. I haven't used G-Expressions yet. In my case, the final script will of course be ordinary bash script (maybe in ~/). What can you say about this idea?
Customize PAM configuration
Hello! I want enter user/root password only once per session. To do this, it will probably be convenient to export the password to shell variable. For example, adding this to PAM configuration file: auth sufficient pam_exec.so expose_authtok /path/to/script.sh But how to write it in system-config.scm? Sorry, I couldn't find any examples.
Sorry, xfcfe4-popup-* not works.

Any questions yet
Hello, people! I don't even know exactly what I would like to ask)) Well, for example: two calls "guix pull" as root and as user - what does the first if the root has 0 packages (besides guix itself, right?) But how is this related in the future? I still do not understand what I do not understand)) I know Scheme/Guile only at the level of a ordinary user, so I ask such stupid questions, sorry. And English is so-so)) But I love freedom! Thanks. Yes, and also: I wrote a couple of package definitions for several XFCE plugins that are not in the repositories. Is it impossible to send somewhere? True, the versions is old..

Re: Sorry, stupid question about guix pull
Thank you! I did not understand before what a system profile is. As such 'root profile' in my system and no, there is only a user profile and system profile (i. e. 0 packages at root). But it seems the upgrade errors were on stage 'guix package -u' at user.. Ok, I'll try with more attention.
Re: Sorry, stupid question about guix pull
> this looks like it's part of an operating-system declaration. Is that right? That's right. > When you run guix pull, a new guix is installed for the user who ran it. And who updates the system libraries and kernel? Root? Well, what is stated in operating-system declaration? > Try 'guix system reconfigure ' instead. A! That is the question! So what to use for the upgrade system?! Upgrade or reconfigure? My operating-system declaration is the same. Not perfect, but I'll fix it later, with the help of 'reconfigure' (add noatime options as example). > I'm not sure what that is... can you give a more concrete example?

Sorry, stupid question about guix pull
I need execute this as root? For upgrade system libraries and kernel. Part of my config: (packages (let ((trash (map specification->package '("zile" "wireless-tools" (append (map specification->package '("xfce" "slim" "gvfs" "xrandr" "unzip" "emacs" "w3m" "emacs-guix" "alsa-lib" "moreutils" "mlocate" "tree" "file" "autobuild" "autoconf" "autogen" "automake" "ccache" "cmake" "gcc-toolchain" "make" ;;; and dependences - visibly!

I don't really understand how it works, but it was OK before, and now I can't upgrade the system (the current version is 0.15). Many libraries have not been updated with this config when you try to update as 'su -l; guix pull'. What is my mistake - I would like to use simple package names, but I want them to be the latest versions. And after 'guix pull' I run 'guix package -u', but no upgrade. I see a message when I try to update individual packages: "Need upgrade X with Y".
Upgrade 0.15 to .16 it doesn't work
Сannot upgrade system, i. g. guix. Its a first problem with upgrade from 0.13. I will try again to provide a output. And I didn't read the manual carefully - a little time, sorry. I'll do this more closely later. And additionally I would like to see two things: 1. FAQ 2. external repo :) (About 2: Nix export - it doesn't work for me either. But we'll see: XFCE, Whisker Menu - no sign of him.)

Hah! RSS-aggregator Liferea could use multilple html-engines. Old versions - gtkhtml, recent versions - webkit. I want build with gtkhtml. How to create package definition for old version Liferea with gtkhtml? The problem is that Guix does not know anything about this library, right? Well, I build gtkhtml locally, what next? This is another white spot in the manual! For example, I need to build packages with cross dependencies, and? In this case the dependencies are consistent, but there is still no clarity on how to act..
About build
Hello, hakers! I want to build a package 1 that depends on package 2. To be more precise, I want Liferea without webkit. Older versions allow you to use gtkhtml(2). How to act in such a case? You can even put the question wider: need an advanced rss-aggregator, but there is nothing in the repo. Quiterss.. C++, Qt.. it's still difficult for me.

Hard experiment: GuixSD v. 0.14 -> current version.
Clean installation took many hours. Problems: 1. Need downgrade system config (as example initrd modules syntax, I forgot about it) 2. After first 'guix pull' - error as in Thread "Error: system: command not found." Fixed with repeat guix pull. 3. Initial 'system reconfigure' fails at final (error with retrieving one derivation - "Network error"?), repeat wit --fallback. 4. Initial 'guix pull' in non-root account, using one processor core (this was necessary) took more than FOUR HOURS! 5. A lot of questions on building heavy packages from source and of the final set of packages (mariadb? Is this really the right system package??) I will not risk repeating this! =) But maybe something could be done more correctly? Any recommendations?
Re: Error: system: command not found.
> Can you not choose an earlier profile in grub and go from there? Here is my mistake: I decided that old profiles are not needed and clear them. Well, I was not happy with my config also. Now - satisfied. So it is not so important, only the cost of processor time. That's why I want to get a good 0-profile.
Re: Error: system: command not found.
Thanks, Swedebugia. > You probably like Pierre missed the warning about setting > the correct path after the first guix pull. Yep, maybe. But while I was messing with the system, I globally rewrote the system config. And now is difficult to combine it with current state of the system.. I think that it will be easier to completely reinstall =)

Re: Error: system: command not found.
And the current results: during reconfigure were built from source samba, ffmpeg, icecat (now) and I do not know what else and how long it will be. Theoretically, berlin.guixsd.org repository is enabled: (modify-services %desktop-services ... (substitute-urls (list "https://berlin.guixsd.org; "https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org;))) but I don't understand why these "heavy" packages are being built.

Right way: define, build and install
On Gentoo I actively used github: download, then local build and install in ~/{bin,tools}. It was easy! I didn't even need ebuilds and did not think as this works :-) Now I need several applications which are absent and will not be in official repositories of a distribution. For an example: 1. https://github.com/x2b/usbeject 2. xfce4-cpugraph-plugin I tried to define this as "some-package.scm" and build, but the first requires some magic with gexp, and for the second - it is unknown what for "use-modules". Finally, in the manual is just one stupid example "hello"! Help!!
Re: Simple reconfigure
Don't refer to manual, please - it does not answer practical questions. Why do you think there are so few packages? - and no one knows how to build them! I tried, and of course I did not succeed. For example, when I write to elisp, I guess by context how and what I should do next. And a powerful contextual help system is also very helpful. I have many practical questions - I use this distribution on real hardware, as the main system. I like Lisp, but I'm just a user, not a hacker.. About 'cons' and 'cons*' - okay, let's see in the manual. Examples, examples, examples, more examples! ;) That would be great.
Simple reconfigure
Hello! If I make little changes, like such: was: (users (cons (user-account (name "jone") (comment "Jone") (group "users") (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev" "audio" "video")) (home-directory "/home/jone")) %base-user-accounts)) now: (users (cons (user-account (name "jone") (comment "Jone") (group "users") (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev" "audio" "video")) (home-directory "/home/jone")) (user-account (name "guest") (comment "Guest") (password "guest" "something") (group "users") (supplementary-groups '("netdev" "audio" "video")) (home-directory "/home/guest")) %base-user-accounts)) as will be correct: just run 'guix system reconfigure' without options, or .. ? Can Guix only update configuration files, offline?

Вопрос по опциям монтирования SSD и logrotate
1. Из мануала не ясно, могу ли я использовать noatime и discard. Хорошо, мы можем выполнять trim по cron (mcron). Этот сервис есть в %desktop-services? Или я должен явно прописывать это? Как часто следует выполнять команду trim? 2. Для logrotate есть какой-то аналог, но я забыл какой :) Он включен по умолчанию? Я считаю, что дефолтные настройки для Desktop требуют корректировки, с учетом сказанного выше. Я выполняю reconfigure уже в десятый раз, но все равно полностью не доволен результатом.

Yes, I also came to this: absolute minimum of packages in the system config (I again remember Gentoo and advices about @world set). And mcron.. total, I think that I should write the service itself that reads the definition of jobs from /etc/...

Modify system behavior after reconfigure
To run 'reconfigure' for minor changes to the system configuration is inconvenient. For example, this option: (sudoers-file (local-file (config-file "/etc/sudoers"))) provides an easy way to make changes at any time. But what about mcron? The user has a directory ~/.config/cron, but it cannot run system-wide jobs. So the old way with /etc/cron.d/ still remains comfortable: let's say I just don't know what tasks I'll need in the future, and add them one by one - and each time after that run reconfigure.. no way! I think the question is obvious? (Forgive me for my bad English, but mostly I only read in this language, not write).

Re: A few questions about packages
Thanks, Ricardo. Then still questions: the difference in a hash is already enough to read two identical libraries as two different versions? Whether are available dependences of one package for another? Need wiki, not only Manual! :)
Re: A few questions about packages
And, I seem I begin to understand! After deleting the previous profiles does not occur "relink" to current version of library: what has already been established, that will also remain. Correctly?

And the next question, is also about Icecat: version 52.6.0 was compiled from source. This is too long. Can I create binary package from this local installation? If possible, please give a couple of examples.

Ok, with Your version of a config 'reconfigure' starts, normal output. Also I added some more packages to the selected. But further in an output I see something, similar to compilation of packages (for "ffmpeg" and "icecat-52.6.0"), as in Gentoo. Well, that is exactly the output of GCC! Possibly, this take time..

Error system reconfigure with guix-latest
Hello! I'm newbie. After update system (guix pull) I see this error: root@guix ~# guix system -n reconfigure /etc/CURRENT.scm /etc/CURRENT.scm:37:24: error: you need these modules in the initrd for /dev/sdb2: sata_nv pata_acpi BUT: 1. Prior to this (before upgrade) everything was OK 2. sata_nv and pata_acpi already selected in CURRENT.scm: (operating-system (host-name "guix") (timezone "Europe/Moscow") (locale "en_US.utf8") (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-bootloader) (target "/dev/sdd"))) (initrd (lambda (file-systems . rest) (apply base-initrd file-systems #:extra-modules '("sata_nv" "pata_acpi") rest))) (file-systems (cons* (file-system (device "two") (mount-point "/") (type "ext4") (title 'label)) (file-system (device "one") (mount-point "/home") (type "ext4") (title 'label)) %base-file-systems)) I didn't find any answers in GuixSD documentation..
