Re: Disable ugly pc-speaker sound in Slim auth failure

[znavko]

Thank you! But I've found another config without this complexity.

Using ddg.gg: guix config pcspkr
I've found  
https://gitlab.com/pkill-9/guix-config/blob/master/system-config.scm#L123

(operating-system
...
  (kernel-arguments '("modprobe.blacklist=pcspkr"))
)

And compiled. Guix has built qemu and grub.
 But pc speaker sound rests there. And also after start Xfce some pc speaker 
noises occurs. So I do not know.
Do you think this config line is incorrect?

Re: Disable ugly pc-speaker sound in Slim auth failure

Hi! According to Guix Manual 6.2.11 Initial RAM Disk and Guile Manual 6.6.9.6 
List Modification
I added this to config.scm:

(use modules

 (gnu system linux-initrd) 
 (gnu packages linux))

(operating-system 
...
  (initrd 
  (base-initrd file-systems
  #:linux-modules '(delq (pcspkr %base-initrd-modules

But the error occurs:

Re: Disable ugly pc-speaker sound in Slim auth failure

[znavko]

I've found this example: 
https://github.com/alezost/guix-config/blob/master/system-config/os-main.scm 


and have typed this for disable pc speaker:


(define %redundant-linux-modules '("pcspkr" "snd_pcsp"))

(operating system
...
 (kernel-arguments
 (list (string-append "modprobe.blacklist="
  (apply comma-separated
    %redundant-linux-modules)


# guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
/etc/config.scm:97:26: error: comma-separated: unbound variable

I've downloaded Guix git and found this word but no anywhere declaration of 
comma-separated function:

Disable ugly pc-speaker sound in Slim auth failure

Hello! Please, what should I use in config.scm for disable pc-speaker sound 
while authorize in Slim and have an error in password?


$ cat /etc/config.scm

Successfully solved with this code in /etc/config.scm:

(operating-system

  (kernel-arguments '("modprobe.blacklist=pcspkr,snd_pcsp"))
)

# guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
# reboot

PC speaker no longer beeps. Thank you!
I think it's a luck, cause from here 
https://github.com/alezost/guix-config/blob/469db8060235cc6bb7501cfb798f29ede3cc21e6/system-config/os-main.scm#L29

I've got names of kernel modules, so that not only pcspkr, but also snd_pcsp 
needs to disable
and from here
https://gitlab.com/pkill-9/guix-config/blob/master/system-config.scm#L123 
<https://gitlab.com/pkill-9/guix-config/blob/master/system-config.scm#L123>
I've got that simple line that not breaks my config.scm syntax.
Still do not know why guix does not find `(use modules  (al utils))` module and 
how to get guile modules work.

pdf editor for placing stress

[znavko]

Hello, GuixSD! Is there any software for placing stress and some other notes on 
text inf pdf files for files with lot of pages?
GIMP is bad when you need 50 page you must make invisible other layers.

Re: Where is mysql/administration command?

[znavko]

Hello! Your nice question is quite reasonable.

To use mysql/administration commands on GuixSD need to have both:
mysql service
mysql package
When you've reconfigured  your system adding mysql service to your config file 
you can either install mysql for root user with `# guix package -i mysql` or 
add mysql package system-wide (for all users) in '(packages ...)' section in 
your system config.

The same for postgresql. I used it the same way.

Hope you enjoy GuixSD!

Re: Where is mysql/administration command?

[znavko]

Hello, Tobias Geerinckx-Rice!
I use su, just for own commodity. The difference for me is that su does not 
need to type 'sudo' every time.

Some howtos mention meariadb package, the others type mysql. 
What is the difference between mariadb and mysql?

GPT PMBR size mismatch (2020547 != 7866367)

[znavko]

Hi! What to do with it:

# fdisk -l
...

Device Boot Start   End   Sectors   Size Id Type
/dev/sda1    2048 23000 229997953 109.7G 83 Linux
/dev/sda2   23640 234441647   4441008   2.1G 82 Linux swap / Solaris


GPT PMBR size mismatch (2020547 != 7866367) will be corrected by write.
The backup GPT table is not on the end of the device. This problem will be 
corrected by write.

collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld'

[znavko]

Hi! I compile this 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6161823/dd-how-to-calculate-optimal-blocksize
 


and get this:

$ whereis ld

gcc (GCC) 8.2.0

How to solve this?

Binary substitutes on Guix. When?

[znavko]

Hello, developers!

As mentioned in 'Substitutes' section of Guix Manual "The ci.guix.info server 
is a front-end to an official build farmthat builds packages from Guix 
continuously for somearchitectures, and makes them available as substitutes."

And the roadmap contains this:
"* Features scheduled for 1.0
- larger & more robust build farm+ we need a powerful, dedicated front-end"

Now when the users come to try, they are just seeing endless compilation 
process. And Guix looks not friendly with such an option. This is a bottle-neck.

Pre-built packages are needed. When will it be realized?

Thanks.

Re: Touchpad tap again

[znavko]

Sorry, I forgot (modify-services) function again.
Trying first config was unsuccessful, but using examples from here 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libinput 
 I've got my touchpad reacts on 
tap and double-clicks.

I think the driver option is important for me Driver \"libinput\"
Here's my workable config for touchpad in GuixSD:

  (remove (lambda (service)
    (eq? (service-kind service)
  ntp-service-type))
    (remove (lambda (service)
  (eq? (service-kind service)
    avahi-service-type))
  (modify-services %desktop-services

    (slim-service-type config =>

Re: collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld'

Sorry. The file extension was the solution:

$ mv c c.c
$ gcc c.c
$ ./a.out

How to add an element 'Ungoogled Chromium with Tor' to Applications menu in Xfce4-panel on GuixSD?

[znavko]

Hello! I've installed Ungoogled-Chromium on GuixSD, thanks Marius Bakke for the 
port to guix!

I've found Chromium has settings for proxy only from command line run.
Using 'man chromium' I've got Chromium works with Tor this way:

`chromium --proxy-server="socks4://127.0.0.1:9050"`

cause tor is using port 9050:
$ netstat -lntu
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State 
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9050 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:68 0.0.0.0:* 
Now I want to add Applications menu element 'Chromium Tor'. But as far as guix 
breaks usual linux directories structure and I have no /usr/share/applications 
folder, want to aks how to edit or add element to Applications menu in xfce4?

Re: disable software blocking of wifi?

[znavko]

Thank you, Gábor Boskovits, for being awesome! I've tried this again and 
helped. Previously it was strange for me not to see wlp2s0. But I do it again 
and I have Internet automatically after boot.

I did exactly this: blacklisted ideapad_laptop, reconfigured, rebooted. And 
have Internet.

# gedit /etc/config.scm
...
(operating-system
...
 (kernel-arguments 
'("modprobe.blacklist=pcspkr,snd_pcsp,wmi,bluetooth,pata_acpi,ideapad_laptop"))
)

# guix system reconfigure
# reboot

After reboot I see

$ rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

$ ping gnu.org
PING gnu.org (209.51.188.148): 56 data bytes

round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 154.375/155.526/156.678/1.152 ms
 

Do I need to rewrite my config with phy0 interface instead of wlp2s0?

(wpa-supplicant-service-type config =>
   (wpa-supplicant-configuration
 (interface "wlp2s0")
 (config-file 
"/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf")))

Also do I need blacklist wmi and pata_acpi?

Why I have not ethernet interface now?

Re: dhcpcd logs

[znavko]

Ok. I use dhcp-client instead, cause I need only to get Ip address but not to 
have dncp server.
Some of threads in help-guix has solved my troubles with wifi. and I published 
config to my site live-znavko.pantheonsite.io

kicking off nm again

Hello! I need your advise in my `holly war` for guix purity in my low-capacity 
Laptop.

While `guix pull && guix system reconfigure config-znavko-12-04-2019.scm` 
worked, Network-Manager and some other stuff have pervaded.

I saw this:

(attached svg). In svg I cannot determine what exactly need nm. Arc-theme? Gdm? 
Gnome?

1) Let me know how to delete nm, if I've removed it from services in 
%desktop-services, but gdm or gnome pulled it into my system.

2) libgweather. Also, I do not need lbgweather. arc-theme depends on it again? 
Sorry, I do not use gnome.

3) geocode-glib. Gnome is so fat. How to cut it off? Can I have gdm without 
gnome?

4) gnome-online-accounts

5) evolution-data-server

6) network-manager-applet

7) mutter, what's this? I think xfce4 does not use it. How to kick it out?

Please, is the last leaf of revert dependencies graph that package I need to 
remove for that guix will not pull these 7 packages again?
If so arc-theme and gnome are my aims. How to remove them?

Re: Grub Bios Boot filesystem description

[znavko]

This is my config, that does not contain item for /dev/sdb1 file system that is 
for bios grub: https://termbin.com/t2pr
Will it work fine?

Grub Bios Boot filesystem description

[znavko]

Hello! If I want to part my disk and to use 3 partitions:
1) Bios Grub,
2) Linux filesystem, and
3) Linux Swap
should I describe my Bios Grub filesystem in '(operating-system (file-systems 
(list ...)))' or just only in '(operating-system (bootloader ...))' section?

If I need to describe grub file system, so which type should I specify?

If I do not need, how grub will know to boot from my root partition Linux 
filesystem on /dev/sdb2 ?

how to unmount disk after guix system init error?

[znavko]

Hello! I am trying to install Guix on other notebook. when I've parted it with 
fdisk using such partitions:
/dev/sdb1 50Gb Linux filesystem
/dev/sdb2 9Gb Linux swap

then `guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt` gave the error:
Embedding is not possible. Grub can only be installed in this setup by using 
blocklists. However blocklists are UnreLIABLE and their use is discouraged.
guix system: error: failed to install bootloader

And this makes me sense need to do another partitioning like this:
/dev/sdb1 150Mb BIOS Boot
/dev/sdb2 50Gb Linux filesystem
/dev/sdb3 9Gb Linux swap

I cannot do this. I fullfilled this but making filesystem on /dev/sdb2 gives 
the error, that device is mounted.
As I understand this is because of my run 'herd start cow-store /mnt' and also 
run `guix system init  /mnt`
I've stopped herd service. But do not know what to do else. So I can only 
reboot and start again.

Please is there another way to solve?

Re: How to configure Xorg to use [proprietary] Sis 771 driver on Guix?

[znavko]

Thank you, Tobias!
I'll try to use that. As I understand I need to write driver package definition 
using Guix Manual #Defining-Packages.
Is there some difficulties with driver packages?

Re: Cannot install Guix 1.0.1 on Asus K50C

[znavko]

I've  changed config. Added initrd-modules that guix offered to me. And I 
reinitialized system.
This message appears above clocksource messages:

Humm. My another laptop parted only to root partition and swap, and it works. 
But here no any variant works.

Cannot install Guix 1.0.1 on Asus K50C

[znavko]

Hello! I have a buggy laptop Asus K50C. Time always breaks there (maybe battery 
but I do not want to solve).
I've installed Guix using manual installation method.
Notebook booting and during boot it stops after these lines:

"[1.664111] tsc: Refined TSC clocksource calliration: 1500.340 MHz
[1.664170] clocksource: tsc: mask: 0x max_cycles: 
0x15a063d2c74, max_idle_ns: 440795230855 ns
[1.664253] clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc "

this is the end. I press 'enter' it only adds new lines. I press Ctrl+C and get 
the 'bournish@(guile-user)> ' line.

I've parted my disk like this:
/dev/sdb1 1Mb Linux filesystem
/dev/sdb2 50Gb Linux filesystem
/dev/sdb3 14Gb Linux Swap

Also, I've made ext4 on sdb2 and for /dev/sdb1 this:
parted /dev/sdb set 1 bios_grub on
I may have errors in config. This is my config I used for guix system init:

Mark, let's start. As I've read in links Tobias offered Sis 771/671 is not 
mentioned there,  but many other versions are presented. Is it reason?

If you say what exactly to type in my config [1] I'll do it.

translating word 'see' that is adding with pxref{}

[znavko]

Hello! I saw Russian manual has word 'see' everywhere with pxref{} strings.
In Russian this is 'см.', that is short version of 'смотреть', and is using in 
texts.

Where can I put my msgstr 'см.' for pxrefs? Should I translate gettext 
interface?

Consider the package expr evaluates to.

[znavko]

I cannot understand this string from manual:
"Consider the package expr evaluates to."

I cannot translate it using dictionary. Please, could you rephrase it for me?

There the link to `guix build --expression` make some sense: "-e expr 

Build the package or derivation expr evaluates to. "

As I understand: To build the package or derivation that responds to expression 
(or that contains expression). Am I right?

But that first line I definitely can't understand.

Re: Consider the package expr evaluates to.

[znavko]

'Expression is evaluated'??
Maybe better is 'the package that matches expression'?

'Consider' - here it means 'to use'. But dictionary meaning of 'consider' is 
'think about', 'regard' [1], so this is hard for understanding.

Guix Manual, in general, has simple language, good understanding, but sometimes 
its author cracks reader's mind.

Hope it will be rewritten and some sensual things (such as partitioning and 
typing Bios Grub config) will be added.

Re: Help with preparing to move from Arch Linux to Guix

[znavko]

Hello! While you haven't get the answer by some hackers I offer you to read 
znavko's blog where links to manuals are collected:
http://live-znavko.pantheonsite.io (http://live-znavko.pantheonsite.io/)

The limitation of saving files into '/etc/' directory does not exist, as I 
know. You may put your own files there, but only configuration files will be 
modified there by running `guix system reconfigure confis.scm`.
Now I have there old files dhcpd.conf and sddm.conf from my previous 
generations where I had these services. And even after removing those 
generation and garbage collection they remain there. So, there are no such 
limitation for '/etc/'.

Yes, Arch has awesome docs, I've been using it for configure touchpad tap for 
slim configuration in Guix System's config.
Sometimes it is difficult to understand how to use strings and types in 
config.scm, what is G-expression, why to use twice '(xorg-configuration 
(xorg-configuration ...))' and other quirks.

All the configurations should be passed to your system config file config.scm 
that is using in `guix system reconfigure config.scm`. All the services accept 
configurations only from there. I think it is not proper way to edit those 
files in '/etc/' after `guix system reconfigure ..`.

Cannot say about configs for samba, vpn, may be you'll get info reading package 
definitions here 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/samba.scm 
(http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/samba.scm)

 Hello Guix community,

I'm very excited ever since I've discovered Guix. I have been using Arch
Linux user for years and everything I've found annoying with Arch Linux
(especially as a maintainer of a few AUR packages), finally has an
elegant and robust solution.

I haven't done the transition yet. There are still around 100 packages I
use on my Arch installation which are not available on Guix and I guess
I'll need to contribute their Guile definitions my self.

My main question though, regards general system configuration. I have a
Guix 1.0.0 image burned on a USB which I boot to every once in a while
to prepare my self for the transition. I must say that while I've
inspected the filesystem of the installation media, I was astounded by
the genius design of it! I can see how it all works (notably the
symlinks) and I can see how it wonderfully enables the reproducibility
and rollback features of Guix.

Anyway, to come to the bottom of it, I've searched the documentation and
couldn't find an answer regarding what-so-ever configurations in `/etc/`.

Pretty much everything that makes Arch Linux impressive, is it's
documentation on the aspect of everything that is needed to be put in
every file in `/etc/` so the system can be tweaked exactly the way one
wishes.

I noticed that in Guix, all the files in /etc/ are read only. I
understand why - `guix system` is responsible for reading a Scheme file
that will create an etc store that will be used for the configuration of
the whole system and I'm not supposed to touch anything in /etc/
manually.. But, I couldn't find how to generally do stuff there.

I have dozens of very personal configurations I've done in my current
Arch system's /etc/ which I have no clue how to port them all and make
sure all of them are picked in the transition. Here are just a few
examples:

- tinc (VPN software): This one expects to find cryptographic key files
to in `/etc/tinc/`.
- samba: Where do I define my shares?
- pam: gnome keyring daemon autostart on login (Arch documents how to
achieve this without a login manager, see
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME/Keyring#PAM_method 
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME/Keyring#PAM_method)).
- vconsole.conf: just another example for a file I've put some stuff in.

I noticed that there is a section in the manual called: Services (#8.8)
and it shows the built-in support of Guix to many common services such
as printing for example. Printing is a good example where I don't
understand how it's supposed to actually work at the end. When one adds
a printer using the Web UI in http://localhost:631 (http://localhost:631) , 
files in
`/etc/cups/` are modified and this is not tracked by `/etc/config.scm` I
suppose.. Most importantly, one cannot predict the contents of these
files after a printer is added. Not to mention that `/etc/` is all
readonly!

And there is so much more.. Additionally, some files in my current
/etc/, have passwords written in them and I wonder whether it's
considered safe to put these strings right away in `/etc/config.scm`..

Anyway, I hope this email is not too long and I could get some pointers
to places I missed in the documentation..

Thanks, Doron.

Re: Input method change in GNU IceCat installed via Guix

[znavko]

Hello, Zelphir!
I had such problem on Gnome+Wayland. It did not used another newly added 
layout, but only US even when I choose Russian in the applet in the gnome 
toolbar (the bar on top). It was for all apps under Gnome+Wayland. But I only 
tried to config system for it, so I had not purpose to solve it.
I have no such problem in Xfce4.
What is your desktop environment and display server? Also your system config 
might be needed.

How to add Verdana font for Icecat?

glibc-utf8-locales, font-adobe-source-han-sans, font-gnu-freefont-ttf,

But Icecat has no choice for the font Verdana there, and sans-serif looks nasty.

Does it change layout in Icecat with mouse click on it?

Hi Guix Users! Recently I installed GNU IceCat via Guix. A few days ago 
I noticed something: I cannot switch input method when the GNU IceCat window is 
focused. My shortcut was CTRL+tilde before and I already tried changing it to 
the more common CTRL+ALT+space, but that also does not work. To me it seems, 
that IceCat does not bubble up the keyboard event for this shortcut to the 
system and then the system (Xubuntu 18.04) does not notice, that I pressed the 
input method switching shortcut. But that is only a guess, as I do not really 
know how the order of keyboard event processing is organized. If it was only 
switching a few characters on the keyboard, I could live with simply typing 
differently, but when I want to input Chinese characters, I currently need to 
open another program, any text editor not having this issue, and then type 
there and copy paste it into IceCat. I am using Fcitx for input method 
management. My GNU IceCat version is `60.3.0esr (64-bit)`. Another application 
where it does not work is Emacs. However, there the useful built-in IM exists 
which can be switched to by: `C-u C- chinese-py ` so I do 
not need it there. What can I do to make IM switching work when IceCat is 
focused? Regards, Zelphir

[znavko]

Sorry, I do not recognize it as Xfce4, but I do not know what it is, may be 
another theme, or may be another DE like Mate??
Need to look into your system configuration file. This is a file used to build 
system, like /etc/config.scm
it is using in 'guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm'. Can you attach it?
For example, my config for my xfce4 environment is this now:
https://gitgud.io/znavko/guix-configs/blob/master/config-xfce-wpa-dhclient.scm

The lines are necessary:

  (services (cons*   ;; xfce4 desktop, dhcp-client, slim  (service 
xfce-desktop-service-type) ;; this is me xfce4 service 
So I need to look your config.scm
Also I do not believe you use xfce4. Do you have such processes?

It always shows the same keyboard icon whether or not I changed to 
another IM in other application, which do not have the issue. Even when I 
switch globally to Pinyin input, IceCat simply writes normal keyboard 
characters. No Chinese character choice pops up. Basically I would not know by 
only looking at Icecat, that anything changed, regardless of which IM I choose. 
OK, I only have German and Chinese Pinyin installed currently. But it seems 
Icecat is completely unaware of any IMs I set in Fcitx.

How to merge two po files from different versions?

[znavko]

Hello! I want to merge my two files: https://gitgud.io/znavko/guix-manual-ru-exp
The latest is guix-manual-1.0.0-pre3.ru.po, so the lines there should rest 
untouched.
But that file lacks some lines I had in guix-manual-1.0.0-pre3.ru_RU.po.

For example the guix-manual-1.0.0-pre3.ru
lacks translation on line 7564:
7564: #. type: Plain text
#: doc/guix.texi:3402
msgid "The garbage collector has a set of known @dfn{roots}: any file under 
@file{/gnu/store}
...
But guix-manual-1.0.0-pre3.ru_RU.po
has translation of this text on line 10698:
10698: #. type: Plain text
#: doc/guix.texi:3389 doc/guix.texi:3402
msgid ""
"The garbage collector has a set of known @dfn{roots}: any file under @file{/"
...
Those two files differ with endline symbols. My old 
guix-manual-1.0.0-pre3.ru_RU.po has many lines in each message, but the new 
file guix-manual-1.0.0-pre3.ru has msgid texts in one long line.

The simple 'msgcat *.po > new.po' is not correct, cause the line numbering 
breaks in a new file.
Please, how to transfer translated strings from the 
guix-manual-1.0.0-pre3.ru_RU.po into guix-manual-1.0.0-pre3.ru not breaking the 
latter?

No, sorry. Your commands not work. That msgid from line 7564 rests

Re: Bluetooth

My workable config is:

(operating-system

 (modify-services  
  (remove (lambda (service)
(member (service-kind service)
(list ntp-service-type 
avahi-service-type

  %desktop-services) ;end of remove lambda 
services

  (wpa-supplicant-service-type config =>

(config-file

  (bluetooth-service config =>

  (elogind-service-type
   c => (elogind-configuration (handle-lid-switch

  ) ;;end of modify-services

So if I am correct:

  %desktop-services
  (bluetooth-service config =>

Re: G-Expressions manual. change user shell in guix config.scm

[znavko]

(shell #~#$dash) -- compiles too, but again:

bob $ su - mom
Password: 
/gnu/store/bqmib4vf9mr8dkqx4dqpcqrnb93giwci-dash-0.5.10.2: 
/gnu/store/bqmib4vf9mr8dkqx4dqpcqrnb93giwci-dash-0.5.10.2: Is a directory
bob $ 

this works all right: (shell (file-append dash "/bin/dash"))

Re: G-Expressions manual. change user shell in guix config.scm

For $~#$dash it says unbound variable:

 (gnu packages shells)
 (guix gexp)

...
(user-account (name "mom") (group "users")
  (supplementary-groups '("wheel"

For just a string 'shell dash' compilation is ok, but after user login in

(user-account (name "mom") (group "users")
  (supplementary-groups '("wheel"

Yes, I am not familiar with Guile. But this is very barrier for people to use 
Guix.
I want some tutorial or may be examples in one place.

emacs does not give me to add quotes around my word in Scheme-Mode

[znavko]

Hello!
I use emacs 26.2 to edit my guix config.scm. It is awesome, but rests unobvious 
things I cannot get.
When I have word that I want to place in quotes, emacs does not give me to add 
quote before the word and after -- instead of this emacs closes quotes 
automatically and does not give me to delete only one quote. Like this:

(shell (file-append dash /bin/dash/)) -- I want to place /bin/dash into quotes
(shell (file-append dash "" /bin/dash/)) -- here I've just typed one quote, but 
emacs autofinished it.
(shell (file-append dash /bin/dash/)) -- here I've tried to delete one quote, 
but emacs has deleted both!
(shell (file-append dash "")) -- so I can only delete my word and add quotes
(shell (file-append dash "/bin/dash/")) -- and only then type it again.

It is so bad inconvenient, extraordinary for editor. Please, how to deal with 
it?

Re: G-Expressions manual. change user shell in guix config.scm

[znavko]

This two equivalents work:

(shell (file-append dash "/bin/dash")) -- this is advanced guix variant with 
new file-append function, this variant does not need (use-modules (guix gexp))

(shell #~(string-append #$dash "/bin/dash"))  -- this is guile function 
string-append and gexp, ungexp functions, this variant does not need 
(use-modules (guix gexp)) too.

how to understand this SELinux stuff?

[znavko]

Hello! I am translating SELinux info messages. There are some hard 
formulations, but this is the best:

#. type: enumerate
#: doc/guix.texi:1291
msgid "We could generate a much more restrictive policy at installation time, 
so that only the @emph{exact} file name of the currently installed 
@code{guix-daemon} executable would be labelled with @code{guix_daemon_exec_t}, 
instead of using a broad regular expression. The downside is that root would 
have to install or upgrade the policy at installation time whenever the Guix 
package that provides the effectively running @code{guix-daemon} executable is 
upgraded."

I cannot understand the latter sentence. What is the 'guix package that 
provides the effectively running guix-damon'? Can I say just: if guix-daemon's 
executable was upgraded?

how restart networking after ifconfig down?

[znavko]

I wrote bash-script checking external ip and disabling network interface if it 
is a real ip, not vpn.
But I do not know why networking does not work after down and up the interface?

# ifconfig wlp2s0 down
# ifconfig wp2s0 up

# herd restart networking
Service networking is not running.
Service networking could not be started.

# rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no

# herd status
...
Stopped:
 - networking
 - term-auto
 - user-homes
 - wpa-supplicant
But my own connection script works:
# cat 1
#!/bin/sh

#connect to wi-fi through wpa_supplicant

#herd stop wpa-supplicant
rfkill unblock wifi
wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
sleep 2
dhclient -v wlp2s0
#herd restart networking
Where to get error and how to solve this? Why herd does not start networking?

Re: switch off cpu fan on lenovo g50-30

[znavko]

As there [1] said  have no fan control module:

 pwm_fan sysfs-path

Control a sysfs PWM fan. Many hwmon drivers that provide a `temp*_input' 
file also allow fan control, although there may also be drivers that are 
specific to either temperature reading or fan control. You can search for a PWM 
control file e.g. with `find /sys -type f -name "pwm?"'. Note that with PWM, 
fan levels usually range from 0 to 255, although besides a file like `pwm1' 
there may also be `pwm1_min' and `pwm1_max' that specify different (soft or 
recommended?) limits for a particular fan.


# find /sys -type f -name "pwm?"
#
# find /sys -type f -name "pwm*"
# 

Have you on your linux-libre?

Re: guix pull behind proxy not working

If you want any idea, I use freevpn.me and vpnbook.com accounts with 'openvpn' 
package. All guix commands download normally. And in terminal I have vpn ip

$ curl ifconfig.io
51.15.151.165

But really I am not sure which is my ip when guix downloads.

Why reproducibility is breaking by metadata?

[znavko]

Hello, Guix Help! I am translating Guix manual and found that the author is 
entirely given to reproducibility. It leads to such phrases that metadata 
breaks reproducibility when he describes '--save-provenance' flag of 'guix 
pack' command here:

'This option is not enabled by default because, like timestamps, provenance 
information contributes nothing to the build process. In other words, there is 
an infinity of channel URLs and commit IDs that can lead to the same pack. 
Recording such “silent” metadata in the output thus potentially breaks the 
source-to-binary bitwise reproducibility property. '

I did not expected such a categorical statement. I think, it does not actually 
break reproducibility but only complicates checks. If we have to talk about 
reproducibility to ignoramus, saying 'this option breaks reproducibility 
option' have to have remark 'simply put' or 'plainly'.

Basically this laptop had no cpu fan but only passive cooling system. I had 
inserted cpu fan by my hands and there were fan power joint on the motherboard. 
This is nice. I hope Guix Linux-Libre has necessary fan control driver for my 
laptop.

There is package 'thinkfan' in Guix repository. Would you advice me how to 
config it and is it possible to switch off fan?

Re: switch off cpu fan on lenovo g50-30

[znavko]

I see this now:

# pwmconfig
# pwmconfig revision $Revision$ ($Date$)
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.

We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.

/root/.guix-profile/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules 
installed

Re: switch off cpu fan on lenovo g50-30

[znavko]

Hello, Efraim Flashner! I want your support cause my question is not figuring 
out from the web.
For typing my config for 'thinkfan' need to write thinkfan.conf, and there, I 
think, it is necessary to define temperature control kernel module. 
After running `sensors-detect` (from 'lmsensors' package) this config file 
appeared:

# cat /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors
# Generated by sensors-detect on Thu Jul  4 12:53:51 2019
# This file is sourced by /etc/init.d/lm_sensors and defines the modules to
# be loaded/unloaded.
#
# The format of this file is a shell script that simply defines variables:
# HWMON_MODULES for hardware monitoring driver modules, and optionally
# BUS_MODULES for any required bus driver module (for example for I2C or SPI).

HWMON_MODULES="coretemp"


As I understood 'coretemp' is that module I can use in thinkfan.conf.  I see 
`sensors` is using coretemp-isa-


# sensors
soc_dts0-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:+42.0°C  

acpitz-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
temp1:+60.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C)

soc_dts1-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:+42.0°C  

coretemp-isa-
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:   +46.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1:   +46.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 2:   +52.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 3:   +52.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)


Ok. But I need to use 'coretemp' file from /proc as in example here [1]. But I 
do not know where is it:

# find /proc -name 'corete*'
# 


Please, can you help me?

Emacs pomode: spellcheck only inside msgstr with both languages

[znavko]

Hello! Russian translation of guix-manual is currently on the line #3661 (about 
6%). Need your help
and answers.
I've configured spellcheck in emacs with aspell, and configured autoselect of 
Russian dictionary.
It works the whole document when I type `M-x ispell`. Ad sure it does not know 
English words, but they present in the Russian translations too.

1) how to force ispell to check only msgsrt ?

2) how to make ispell skip English words in msgstr?

3) why 'Introduction' contains 'GNU@tie{}Guix' instead of 'GNU Guix'? is it 
correct? 

#. type: Plain text
#: doc/guix.texi:329
msgid ""
"You can install GNU@tie{}Guix on top of an existing GNU/Linux system where "
"it complements the available tools without interference "
"(@pxref{Installation}), or you can use it as a standalone operating system "
"distribution, @dfn{Guix@tie{}System}@footnote{We used to refer to Guix "
"System as ``Guix System Distribution'' or ``GuixSD''.  We now consider it "
"makes more sense to group everything under the ``Guix'' banner since, after "
"all, Guix System is readily available through the @command{guix system} "
"command, even if you're using a different distro underneath!}.  @xref{GNU "
"Distribution}."

4) It may be much easier to read the Guix manual translation compiled into texi 
and then into html. How can I perform this?

Here it is my current work: https://gitgud.io/znavko/guix-manual-ru
I will push it into translation project when check carefully.

Xfce4 localization in Guix System for only one exact user

[znavko]

Hello! This is from those question people want just find one or two lines to 
paste in terminal and to get effect.
I did not find solution.
Please, how to make Xfce4 menus (right mouse click, maybe Main Menu) become 
Russian for only one user 'mom'?

As I know, packages are installing using locale settings. So, I need to 
configure my locale and reinstall Xfce4 (reconfigure system).

I have installed locale package as as Guix Manual says [1] with this command:

$ guix install glibc-locales
I have now 'locale' command in guix (but do not know exactly if it is provided 
with glibc-locales? and is it providing with glibc-utf8-locales ?):

$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=
And I've found in the web the way to change locale that might work on Guix 
System:

$ localedef -c -i ru_RU -f UTF-8 ru_RU.utf8
cannot create temporary file: 
/run/current-system/locale/2.28/locale-archive.g44JbZ: Read-only file system

But as I can see need to do this by sudo user. So it will change locale for 
entire system. But I want localize Xfce4 for only user 'mom'.
Can I do it?

thank you, Tibias. I've created new vriable with this instructions:

and now my Icecat browser has Russian interface with that langpack you've

Re: Xfce4 localization in Guix System for only one exact user

[znavko]

Yes, Julien, you are right!
Changing config file to this:

(operating-system ...
  (locale "ru_RU.utf8"))

and running as root:

# guix pull
# guix package -u
# guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
# guix package -u

made all my applications work on Russian: Xfce, Gimp, LibreOffice, Audacity and 
so on:

http://0x0.st/zOsk.png

But the next question is: how to make Russian environment only for defined 
user, not for all users?

You said, my DM may have it. I use Slim and did not found such configs. Also 
`guix search xfce` did not display something like xfce4-settings. And I did not 
found language settings in xfce settings manager.

My question rests unanswered.

Thank you, Tobias!
I've changed to these fonts configurations and it is working: 0x0.st/zf0M.png

But Russian language pack does not make any change in my Icacat.

There is only these variables :

and starting with 'intl.locale' there is only 'intl.locale.matchOS' :

But I like your patience.

Re: GuixSD doesn't boot on UEFI

[znavko]

Yeah, this happens. I thank occasion I can use Guix on my Lenovo G50-30!
I plan to buy new notebook and hope Guix will play there normally. If not, I 
will use Trisquel. I like Guix and Trisquel, for they use free software.

Re: GuixSD doesn't boot on UEFI

[znavko]

I had black screen when Guix Installer loaded (it is really buggy), I just 
switched to another tty.
Do you see boot messages or what is going after you choose usb as boot device?
Can you press Alt + f5 to open another tty?

Fonts and Language in Icecat

[znavko]

Hello! I have some troubles in the second user account 'mom' in Guix System in 
Icecat browser.
It has ugly fonts for guix manual code. Here it is screen:
http://0x0.st/zf0K.png

My languages and fonts configs in Icecat are these: http://0x0.st/zf0N.png

I have copied fonts to mom account and its content is this:
$ ls /home/mom/.fonts/
'a_AvanteLt Light.ttf' 'Minion Pro Bold.ttf'
'Academy Old Regular.ttf' 'Myriad Pro Light Italic.ttf'
'Academy Regular.ttf' 'Myriad Pro Light Regular.ttf'
'a_FuturaRound Bold.ttf' pehlevi.ttf
'AvantGarde Regular.ttf' 'PF Monumenta Pro Regular.ttf'
'Century Gothic Regular.ttf' 'Pragmatica Bold.ttf'

'FreeSet Regular.ttf' 'Pravda Regular.ttf'
'Izhitsa Regular.ttf' 'Tracia Regular.ttf'
'Lazurski Regular.ttf' 'Verdana Regular.ttf'
How to do that code displays well?

And also how to make Icecat menus are Russian?

How to update Guix not destroying Xfce4 ?

[znavko]

Hello, Guix Help! I had issue with Xfce4, described here: 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2019-09/msg00070.html

Now time passed. But the same result.
After `guix pull && guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm` I get unworkable 
Xfce4, menus do not displaying after each reboot.

I've made `guix pull --switch-generation=98 && guix system roll-back` after my 
new today's try. And this 98 generation's commit is ok.
But those commits from September 2019 are bad wrong. When use one of those 
september's commits and doing `guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm` I get 
Xfce4 not works.

Here are my commits:

How to configure Xorg to use downloaded Sis 771 driver on Guix?

[znavko]

Hello! I use Asus K50C where VGA Adapter is Sis 771/671 Intel. It works on 
resolution most 1024x768, and this is incorrect (should be 1366x768). As I know 
only sis driver can help here.

I've downloaded Sis driver here http://w3.sis.com for Linux and want to try to 
configure Xorg to use it.
I am looking to manual and cannot determine how to configure Xorg to use sis 
driver:

Data Type: xorg-configuration  drivers (default: '()) 

This must be either the empty list, in which case Xorg chooses a 
graphics driver automatically, or a list of driver names that will be tried in 
this order—e.g., ("modesetting" "vesa").

Please, help me with my Asus K50C.
Where to put sis driver? If I need to describe new package for sis driver it is 
impossible for me this time. Can you help?

Re: How to configure Xorg to use downloaded Sis 771 driver on Guix?

[znavko]

oops, not sure it is intel.

here i've placed driver https://gitgud.io/znavko/sis771

Can anybody write package definition ?

Re: Cannot install Guix 1.0.1 on Asus K50C

[znavko]

Hi, Florian! I have reinit system with config like this:

(initrd-modules (append (list "sata_sis")
%base-initrd-modules))

where underscore is placed instead of dash: sata_sis.

I did not understand where should I type --skip-checks, sorry.

Also, I am not sure partitioning is right:

Disk /dev/sdb: 59.6 GiB, 64023257088 bytes, 125045424 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: AB9A165C-BB51-8C47-813D-10219657F602

Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sdb1 2048 157695 155648 76M BIOS boot
/dev/sdb2 157696 105625599 105467904 50.3G Linux filesystem
/dev/sdb3 105625600 125045390 19419791 9.3G Linux swap

I use BIOS Grub, so I created a separate partition of type BIOS boot and size 
76Mb. Am I right of
its size? And I fulfilled this:

parted /dev/sdb set 1 bios_grub on

as it is described here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/BIOS-installation.html#BIOS-installation

Also, may be I need to update by usb flash, cause there is Guix 1.0.1 of age 3 
weeks. Might be the
new image has some bugfixes for me?

The result of initialization and reboot is the next. Boot stops on locksource 
as it was before. And above I see this:

isci: Intel(R) C600 SAS Controller Driver - version 1.2.0 
ext2s_checks_if_mount: Can't check if filesystem is mounted due to missing mtab 
e2fsck: No such file or directory while trying open /dev/sdb2 
Possibly non-existent device?
File system check on /dev/sdb2 failed
Spawning Bourne-like REPL.
GNU Guile 2.2.4

Please, should I type /dev/sda everywhere in config.scm instead of /dev/sdb? 
When I boot to usb my ssd disk is showing like /dev/sdb, but when I boot from 
ssd disk it is /dev/sda, so this config does not work. And this ubiquitous 
option was not described in manual. I always read:
"For legacy systems, the target field names a device, like /dev/sda;... "

So, what to do?

This is my config:

(operating-system (host-name "antelope") (timezone "Europe/Moscow") (locale 
"en_US.utf8")
  (bootloader (bootloader-configuration 
(bootloader grub-bootloader) 
(target "/dev/sdb")))
  (file-systems (cons (file-system 
(device "/dev/sdb2") 
(mount-point "/") 
(type "ext4")) 
%base-file-systems))
  (swap-devices '("/dev/sdb3"))

  (initrd-modules (append (list "sata_sis")
  %base-initrd-modules))

Re: Cannot install Guix 1.0.1 on Asus K50C

[znavko]

Thank you! The installation was finished ok. But 'reboot' after system 
initialization (as manual says) did not worked ever on my Asus K50C.

I've used in config the name of device as /dev/sda everywhere, and Guix runs 
ok. Think, manual should have notices about it for those not want to use label 
of device. 
Also if I do not use separate partition for bios grub, guix says that it is not 
allowed (but on my other laptop i have only one partition for root and grub).
Also the size of grub partition was 200Mb first, and somebody said I need only 
1Mb, but I've seen my other notebook's /boot directory has files about 20Mb, so 
I've create boot partition with 80Mb space. And I see this now:

# du -h /boot
2.3M/boot/grub/fonts
4.2M/boot/grub/locale
2.4M/boot/grub/i386-pc
8.9M/boot/grub
8.9M/boot


The next trouble connects to my VGA Display Adapter Sis 771/671 and its driver. 
I've solved this on ubuntu, and now I will push another email for get my screen 
works normal resolution on Guix.

Re: Why 'iw dev' does not show wireless device?

[znavko]

(Double). Yes, Tobias, I've dug this finally. This wifi card is not supported 
by LinuxLibre.

Please, would you give me advice, what to choose from mass-market ( in Russia 
dns-shop.ru )
for LinuxLibre and Guix in price under 540 euro ( 40.000 Roubles ) ???

I found this https://certification.ubuntu.com/desktop
But not sure it will exactly work with LinuxLibre. Also h-node lack some 
contemporary models.

Why 'iw dev' does not show wireless device?

[znavko]

Hello! I want to install the latest Guix 1.0.1 x86_84 on Acer Aspire 3 
A315-42-R1JJ, AMD Ryzen 3 3200U/AMD Radeon Vega 6.
I've deleted from grub 'modprobe.blacklist=radeon' and added 'nomodeset' cause 
I have radeon and without 'nomodeset' option boot just freezes.

But I cannot see wifi. I've unblocked it with
# rfkill list
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: yes
 Hard blocked: no
...
# rfkill unblock wifi
# rfkill list

But iw does not see wireless device:
# iw dev

Does OS Guix works fine with Intel UHD Grapics 630?

[znavko]

Hello! I choose PC and have a question choosing processor.

Here I've found what will work with Guix, as I think:
https://www.citilink.ru/catalog/computers_and_notebooks/computers/1120107/
ACER Veriton ES2710G, Intel Core i3 6100, DDR4 8Gb, 1000Gb, Intel HD Graphics 
530, Free DOS, [dt.vqeer.080]

Intel Core i3 6100 has graphics controller - Intel HD Graphics 530
that is presented on h-node:
https://h-node.org/videocards/catalogue/en/1/1/undef/undef/undef/undef/video-card-works/undef?search_string=graphics+530=Search

So, I think this PC with core i3 6100 is suitable and will work with OS Guix.

There is another PC with core i5
https://www.citilink.ru/catalog/computers_and_notebooks/computers/1193819/
ACER Aspire XC-886, Intel Core i5 9400, DDR4 8Gb, 128Gb(SSD), Intel UHD 
Graphics 630, noOS, [dt.bdder.01p]

I'd prefer Core i5 9400, but I am not sure graphic card is suitable, cause 
h-node has only this:
https://h-node.org/videocards/catalogue/en/1/1/undef/undef/undef/undef/video-card-works/undef?search_string=graphics+630=Search

There is on h-node only Intel HD 630, but there is not Intel UHD 630.

Please, does Guix work on Core i5 9400 with Intel UHD Graphics 630 ?

Which usb wi-fi adapter from those to choose?

[znavko]

Hello! I want to buy usb wifi-adapter for PC. I've discovered that RYF 
recommends only devices from abroad webshops, but I cannot order from there, 
cause there is no guarantee their services are good and clean (RYF certifies 
only devices but not vendors and their services, I know).

I want to buy in my city from Russian webshop. Please, let me know which device 
from those I can use under Guix:
https://www.dns-shop.ru/catalog/17a9eac716404e77/adaptery-wi-fi/

There are no Atheros.

Only Asus, DEXP, Zyxel, Intel, TP-Link, D-Link, Tenda, Xiami.

Can I run something without any additional drivers compilations, just typing 
'ifconfig wlp2s0 up && wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c w.conf && dhclient -v 
wlp2s0' ???

Watching HTML5 video on GNU Guix?

[znavko]

Hello! I've updated my system having now working Xfce4, this bug was fixed: 
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/37342

But now I cannot watch HTML5 videos in IceCat 68.3.0esr (64-bit), cause it does 
not support one of formats video hosting is using.
It says: "In current time your browser does not support any of available video 
formats."

All those extensions in Icecat are disabled, so LibreJS, LibrifyJS, Searxes 
blocker - are disabled.

I have a question of how to use this part of the internet and work on GNU Guix 
simultaneously.

Hello! Thank you for reminder. I only selected "Custom" content blocking and 
unblocked Cookies.
Refresh of all tabs did not make effect, but restart browser make effect.
So allowing Cookies makes videos start playing automatically.

Autoplay videos in Icecat

[znavko]

Hello, users! Can you recommend something to make Icecat autostart videos (that 
are really autoplayable and start when I use another browser).
I cannot remember what I did, but I had this on my laptop. Now I've installed 
Guix on PC and do not have autoplay videos in Icecat.
ddg.gg did not answer me.
Please, how autoplay videos in Icecat?
