Hi Jérôme,

I am running Guix on a Lenovo X220 tablet with osboot (osboot.org).  I don't 
know how to help you, but if you have an idea or if you need me to check 
something, I can try and do that.

Re: Guix Halts After "updating substitutes from …"

2022-05-25 Thread Wil deBeest 
Thank you! 

I've been having the same problem and had no idea what caused it.

Wouldn't adding a timeout make sense? Either with a sensible default time and 
options to change or disable it or just configuration options that would be 
documented in the "channels" section?

If timeouts aren't an option, a message like "could not reach substitute server 
[server-name] ([time/unit])"* would already be much more be helpful than the 
current state for those of us who are not (yet) that familiar with guix.   

I regularly feel like guix errors could give more useful information. Is this 
due to design decisions or something that just hasn't been considered or worked 
on?


* Optionally with additional information like "Press 'Control C' to abort" and 
"You can temporarily disable this substitute server by adding  
'--substitute-urls=[server-name] to the command that got you here.'"

How do you debug a channel?

2022-05-09 Thread Wil deBeest 
Hi!
Something in my `local' channel causes this error when I execute `guix pull':

building /gnu/store/blb4jxbhdckbpcqf46yk74jrml1ds7wy-local.drv...

I tried another pull with the `keep-failed' and `keep-going' flags added & 
`verbose' and `debug' set to 7*, piping the output through `tee' in the hope of 
having a complete log, but the file ended up empty.  The part I could copy from 
the terminal was rejected as spam by paste.debian.net, so I appended it to this 
mail.

Removing more and more packages from the channel until there wasn't any file 
left didn't help.  `guix pull' worked again only after removing the channel 
itself.

Any ideas what might be wrong or how to find out more?

I used to have the same problem, but I don't remember what fixed it.

SBCL_HOME isn't set at all, I only have `exec 
/home/bovid-19/.guix-profile/bin/stumpwm' in my
`~/.xinitrc', and my stumpwm init file starts like this:

(in-package :stumpwm)
(require 'sb-cltl2)


I'm not sure what else I can look for.

I have probably found the solution: in addition to stumpwm, I also have
`cl-trivial-cltl2' and `cl-asdf' (and sbcl) in my system configuration.
If you can confirm that those two packages are what was missing, we
should add them to the stumpwm package as inputs.
