I think that the earlyoom service is a necessity for a Guix system
desktop.
For those who don't know what it does, EarlyOOM (early out-of-memory)
is a daemon that kills applications when the amount of memory available
falls below a certain percentage of the maximum, by default 10%. There

darth-cheney asked in IRC if from inside a guix environment you would
install the packages instead of pip/node, and maybe having guix install
packages to current guix environment would be a good idea.
Possible issue would be how to change the current guix environment to
the new profile, without

This doesn't work for me, with `cat | guix build -f /dev/stdin`
i get "guix build: error: failed to load '/dev/stdin': No such file or
directory"

I would like to be able to pipe files into guix commands.
Specifically the `guix system build` command, so I can build a system
configuration on a remote Guix system over SSH, i.e. `cat config.scm |
ssh guix system build -`, or perhaps using the
`--expression` flag which would make more sense,
Hi,

I'm making a script that uses guix containers for running applications
isolated from eachother, and I have a single profile for each
application. I want to be able to start the
guix environment doesn't allow --ad-hoc to be used when --profile is
set. I propose to have --ad-hoc add more packages to the container when
using it with --profile.
Thoughts?
After reconfiguring, often grub says 'no suitable video mode found',
and it has a blue background. It's not a problem, but it's certainly
inconsistent, and slightly worrying.
Anyone know what the cause could be?
Last time I tested, the sudoers file could be changed to anything in
the guix system configuration, whether it's valid or not. This could
result in someone being locked out of their system when root doesn't
have a password, and they rely on sudo. Ideally, `guix system
reconfigure` would fail if

Ah great, thanks!
I propose changing the `--with-source` flag to use the syntax of
similar `--with-...` flags such as `--with-commit`, e.g.
`--with-source=PACKAGE=SOURCE`, because currently you need to
change a file to match the form "package-version.extension`, and it
searches the package graph to find the package

however the third party .Net libraries aren't built from source because I
couldn't get mono to build them from source. I believe Mono is too old on Guix

rolling back the system shows it's trying to get substitutes for grub.cfg.drv

Hey, the evolution dataserver is in a separate package,
"evolution-data-server", however when i installed them both it gave me
more errors and still fails.
I think Evolution expects a bunch of other Gnome stuff to be
installed/available at runtim, but I don't really know.

When extra channels have been added, running `guix pull
--commit=` returns "guix pull: error: '--url', '--commit', and
'--branch' are not applicable". I think it would be better if these
flags only affected the "guix" channel, including when extra channels
have been added.
This makes sense
The '--with-commit' flag changes the source used to build a package, the syntax
takes the form of '--with-commit=='.
The '--with-source' flag also changes the source, but uses the syntax
'--with-source=', but only transforms the top-level package (e.g.
`guix build ` or `guix environment
