bug#41138: [ICEDOVE]: Preferences does not open.

2020-05-08 Thread Raghav Gururajan
Hello Guix! So I tried opening icedove from terminal, to see more information about the error. It appears the error has its origin from a file called "Overlays.jsm". Regards, RG. 0xAE6EF3046D6F7B57.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

2020-05-08 Thread Raghav Gururajan
Hi Pierre! Please find the new patch attached with this email. It fixes the discussed issues. Now, blueman just needs "dbus-launch", which I think provided by %desktop-services. If you could push this patch, that would be great. Thank you! Regards, RG. From be674bd528cbcb16e04368e1f01beaffac912

An update on this: To begin, I installed alsa-plugins and alsa-plugins:pulseaudio and configured the build of alsa-lib like this: "--with-plugindir=/var/guix/profiles/per-user/leo/guix-profile/lib/alsa-lib" Everything worked that way, but obviously it's not a solution. Now, I am working on maki

Hello Guix! First of, many thanks to Jonathan Brielmaier, Nikita, Adrian Malacoda and Ricardo Wurmus; for making Icedove in Guix happen. :-) To try out the application, I connected to chat.freenode.net and joined #freenode. As soon as I connect and join, the whole-system started to become laggy.
