Inkscape 1.0 is now wrapped with the XDG_DATA_DIRS and other relevant environment variables set. The package was not using the 'glib-or-gtk-wrap from the glib-or-gtk+-build-system, which caused the problem. Users which had gtk+ propagated to their user profile (or system profile on Guix System) would not see the issue triggered (I didn't myself!). Thank you for the report! Maxim

Guix completion in Emacs
Hello Everyone, I am unable to conditional tab completion of Guix commands when in shell-mode or eshell-mode in Emacs. In other words, I can tab-complete the major modules e.g. ~guix package~, but cannot tab complete ~--arguments~ to them. When I try I see an error: guix-geiser-eval: Error in evaluating guile expression: ice-9/boot-9.scm:1669:16: In procedure raise-exception: error: help-string: unbound variable Certainly this stuff isn't broken for everyone, is it?
Re: How configure my desktop to use a static ip address?
Thanks to generous help from several people in the #guix IRC channel, I
learned that the trick I was missing was that I could actually use
Network Manager to setup a static IP once the router has been configured
to reserve it. This generates a ~*.nmconnection~ configuration file
into:
: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
Then a simple-service etc-service can be added to the services list in
~/etc/config.scm~ to make that reproducible. I still need to figure out
exactly how to do that, but I have some leads.
guix-vits suggested that to simplify the generation of the configuration
file in /etc, I could store the file alongside ~/etc/config.scm~ and
reference it using some code like:
(define (cat-file path)
(use-modules (ice-9 textual-ports))
(with-input-from-file path (lambda _ (get-string-all
(current-input-port)
(define %nm-static-connection (cat-file
"/etc/nm-static-profile.nmconnection"))
(operating-system
...
(services
(cons*
(simple-service 'nm-static-connection
etc-service-type
`(("NetworkManager/system-connections/nm-static-profile.nmconnection"
,%nm-static-connection
...))
I haven't tested it quite yet, but it makes some sense to me. If you
think this is not exactly the right approach, please let me
know.

Indeed! It works now. Thank you for your Help John !
For this to work though, I just had to correct a typo : add a `comma`
(to _unquote_, if I'm not wrong) before the `(file-append …`.
So, for reference :
;; At the top of the file
(use-modules
...
(ice-9 match))
;; Replace %desktop-services with this:
(modify-services %desktop-services
(console-font-service-type configuration =>
(map
(match-lambda
(("tty3" . f)
`("tty3" . ,(file-append
font-terminus
"/share/consolefonts/ter-128n.psf.gz")))
((tty . font) `(,tty . ,font))) configuration)))

Inkscape 1.0 segfault when trying to bring up file chooser
Hi! Guix last updated yesterday, on top of Ubuntu. Triggering ‘Save as’ in Inkscape leads to: ``` (org.inkscape.Inkscape:5125): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 11:56:37.434: Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' does not contain a key named 'show-type-column' Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) ``` I assume this started happening with the update to Inkscape 1.0; in either case the issue is only a few days old. Various search hits point to /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml ``` ~: echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS /home/thorwil/.guix-profile/share:/home/thorwil/.guix-profile/share:/usr/share/unity:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/ ``` If I set XDG_DATA_DIRS to "", inkscape won’t even start. If I set it to just /home/thorwil/.guix-profile/share, it starts and crashes on Save_As, same as now. All store items for org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml do have a : ``` /gnu/store: find -name "*FileChooser.gschema*" | \ xargs grep show-type-column ./vgg2r0yzwwbhyxvd8lj2kwyw9779pjfk-gtk+-3.24.14/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml: ./zflpysfv6b5x9hvccds0m38x3bmzzdb3-gtk+-3.24.14/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml: ./mvdb71lvrqgzx6b3kd3fnqpnak8394hm-gtk+-3.24.14/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml: ./q3crl46igvsb10if6z7ffn165pkr74s1-gtk+-3.24.14/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml: ./xhdrc9viz956hj2a3gjlbi0gfvfbnwjd-gtk+-3.24.14/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml: ./mqjdi2b0jf4jwj9g5lbn2wdip4dnqgdh-gtk+-3.24.14/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml: ``` Checking the links below .guix-profile, I note there is no org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml, but there is gschemas.compiled: ``` ~/.guix-profile/share: ls -l glib-2.0/schemas/total 20 lrwxrwxrwx 2 root root 91 Jan 1 1970 gschema.dtd -> /gnu/store/5v9bxzzxbp68c5g6vvvlaq1ddq39bkrf-glib-schemas/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschema.dtd lrwxrwxrwx 2 root root 97 Jan 1 1970 gschemas.compiled -> /gnu/store/5v9bxzzxbp68c5g6vvvlaq1ddq39bkrf-glib-schemas/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled lrwxrwxrwx 2 root root 118 Jan 1 1970 org.gnome.gnumeric.dialogs.gschema.xml -> /gnu/store/5v9bxzzxbp68c5g6vvvlaq1ddq39bkrf-glib-schemas/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.gnumeric.dialogs.gschema.xml lrwxrwxrwx 2 root root 110 Jan 1 1970 org.gnome.gnumeric.gschema.xml -> /gnu/store/5v9bxzzxbp68c5g6vvvlaq1ddq39bkrf-glib-schemas/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.gnumeric.gschema.xml lrwxrwxrwx 2 root root 117 Jan 1 1970 org.gnome.gnumeric.plugin.gschema.xml -> /gnu/store/5v9bxzzxbp68c5g6vvvlaq1ddq39bkrf-glib-schemas/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.gnumeric.plugin.gschema.xml ``` There are a bunch of string visible in the binary file gschemas.compiled, ‘show-type-column’ or similar does not apear. Is the issue perhaps that gschemas.compiled would have had to be rebuilt, but wasn’t? I considered trying to symlink an org.gnome.gnumeric.gschema.xml, but I don’t see how to figure out which of the 5 store items it should be. -- Thorsten Wilms
Re: BPF in linux-libre
Hello John, > I was in the mood to try some of these new bpf tools. Does the linux libre > kernel support it? Yes it should support it, plus according to this[1], we have the right Kernel configuration (except maybe for CONFIG_BPF_JIT). Now, it's just a matter of packaging "bcc" and "bpftrace" I guess. Thanks, Mathieu [1]: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/INSTALL.md
