Hi Ludo, Yes. I can confirm that using the unprivileged guix-daemon with 07ba811e8969f7207a072266073b15bc8e356675 makes NetworkManager plugins unusable.
I was using an OpenVPN connection through NetworkManager today without any issues. Then I switched my Guix System to the unprivileged guix-daemon after reading your email. After doing this, I could no longer establish an OpenVPN connection through NetworkManager. Instead, I just receive this error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error: failed to load VPN plugin: unknown VPN plugin "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I then switched my machine back to the privileged guix-daemon, and I was once again able to create an OpenVPN connection through NetworkManager without any issues. The `guix describe` and `guix system describe` commands both show that my machine is on Guix commit 07ba811e8969f7207a072266073b15bc8e356675. It would appear that there has been a regression. :( Thanks, Gary Ludovic Courtès <[email protected]> writes: > Hi Gary, > > Gary Johnson <[email protected]> skribis: > >> channels: >> guix: >> repository URL: https://git.guix.gnu.org/guix.git >> branch: master >> commit: 07ba811e8969f7207a072266073b15bc8e356675 > > [...] > >>> This sounds a lot like <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/78047>, which was >>> supposedly fixed by 436a00be92c53f5054885eebd200153933b63a1d in June >>> 2025. > > Commit 07ba811e8969f7207a072266073b15bc8e356675 supposedly includes the > fix I mentioned above. > > Can you confirm that using the unprivileged guix-daemon with > 07ba811e8969f7207a072266073b15bc8e356675 indeed makes NetworkManager > plugins unusable? > > Thanks, > Ludo’. -- GPG Key ID: C4FBEDBD Use `gpg --search-keys [email protected]' to find me Protect yourself from surveillance: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org ======================================================================= () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments Why is HTML email a security nightmare?
