bug#65769:

Hi chirs, Josselin, unmatchedparenthesis, Thank you for your example configs! It allowed me to get sway up and running under Guix. For those interested, here is my configuration: https://gist.github.com/hugobuddel/cd08fc2980c6901ff4a2df5c57531e46 However, I might switch to something else for now,

bug#66647: Installation of RPMs produced by ‘guix pack’ is super slow

Hello! I made friends at work when I told them we could provide an RPM for any modern package to install on their old RPM-based distro. :-) However, installing those RPMs takes a lot of time. For example, installing the RPM for ‘gmsh’ (closure: 596 MiB; thousands of files) takes ~45mn. Is ther

Thank you bdju! Your config also does not work for me, so my specific problem is probably hardware related. Thanks for helping me isolate the problem. Apparently I was naive in assuming that i915 would mean things would just work. (Well, X works.) I also get a blank screen with the cursor at the

bug#65769:

Ok, just one more update on the hardware issue: I 'resolved' it, and maybe I can help others by commenting here. Specifying i915.enable_guc=0 as a kernel parameter at boot will ensure the kernel doesn't get 'wedged' and now sway works on the libre kernel too. I get the blinking cursor again if I f

bug#66651: How to pass i915.enable_guc=0 in config.scm to prevent a 'wedged' GPU?

The i915 driver will try to load the GuC firmware, at least for Iris Xe chips. Loading the GuC firmware fails because it is non-free and deblobbed. As a result, some software, like sway, will not work. It is possible to manually pass the i915.enable_guc=0 kernel parameter at boot from grub. Then e

bug#66653: Should 'guix pack', 'install', ... accept '-f'?

Hi all, I feel like that everything that could build a package should accept the 'standard build options' like -f. Does anyone have arguments against it? Kind regards, T G-R Sent on the go. Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
