Re: Problem installing Guix (through binary installation script) on AWS EC2
Sorry, I did not check the log files. I think it was probably the installation (through the script) had not been completed, causing subsequent problems.

Re: Problem installing Guix (through binary installation script) on AWS EC2
Dear all, Some more updates. I tried uninstalling guix, and installing again using the script. It stopped somewhere in the middle saying "guix" not found. Probably it was also the case the first time I installed it. So the binary installation script probably has some problems. I then manually follow some of the steps in https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html#Binary-Installation And then I can "guix pull" and "guix install hello", "guix install glibc-locales" without problems. So I will proceed with the setup of guix, just to report that the binary installation script probably has problem.

Re: Problem installing Guix (through binary installation script) on AWS EC2
Also, it seems I cannot install anything, e.g. "guix install glibc-locales" as described in https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html would result in the same error.

Re: Fwd: SSH in git-fetch
Dear Chris, Thanks for the suggestion. I have previously tested that fetching from private channel works (after a workaround of use a PEM format of SSH key, due to a bug in libssh2). And I have just tested Luis's suggested workaround and can confirm that it works. Although the private channel will be kept only without our organization, I think the security team will frown if there are passwords in the package definitions committed to the repo. So I think meanwhile I will use the workaround suggested by Luis.

Subject: SSH in git-fetch
To:
Dear all,
I am experimenting with writing a package definition for an example R
package (https://github.com/jennybc/foofactors) in a PRIVATE channel,
where the R source is also at a PRIVATE github repository.
While the private channel works with proper setup of SSH key (that
needs to be in PEM format due to a bug in libssh2), I am having
trouble with the private git repository for package source.
Is it that git-fetch does not support fetching over SSH?
The package definition I have is:
(define-module (my-packages r-pkgs)
#:use-module ((guix licenses) #:prefix license:)
#:use-module (guix packages)
#:use-module (guix download)
#:use-module (guix git-download)

Why is there an error of "cannot run ssh"? Is it that git-fetch does
not support fetching over SSH?
I would like to prompt the use of Guix for per-project management in
my small team of data scientists, so we would need a private channel
for a few internal R packages. The above problem is a real blocker.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear all, I have a look at guix/licenses.scm, but seems there is no MIT license? Am I missing something? Regards, Peter Lo
Re: How to access private channel
After some googling, I found two related bug reports of libssh2: https://github.com/libgit2/pygit2/issues/1013 https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/57121 I guess Guix uses libssh2 to process private channels over SSH, if so, I think doing guix pull first would encounter the same problem. The suggested workaround is to generate a SSH key in the older PEM format using the "-m PEM" option of ssh-keygen. I have tried the workaround and it works for me.

How to access private channel
Dear all, I am experimenting with setting up a private channel as a private github repository, then I prepared a channels file for testing: (list (channel (name 'guix) (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git;) (commit "9904a15a4c838362673c1affdbaf1e83d92fe8ff")) (channel (name 'my-guix-pkgs) (url "g...@github.com:peterloleungyau/my-guix-pkgs.git") (commit "b51d236ebbbdd134bafb64e5092342a2d058ec2a"))) Then I try it with: $ guix time-machine -C channels.scm --disable-authentication -- environment --ad-hoc python-radian Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'... guix time-machine: warning: channel authentication disabled Updating channel 'my-guix-pkgs' from Git repository at 'g...@github.com:peterloleungyau/my-guix-pkgs.git'... guix time-machine: error: Git error: Failed to retrieve list of SSH authentication methods: Failed getting response So it seems the guix daemon cannot use the SSH of my user to access the private git repository?

Re: How to set global environment variables in Guix System
Thanks both for the replies.
If I understand correctly, custom environment variables could be added
through some kind of session-environment-service-type, I will try it
out to learn more.
Just for the record, I currently use a custom ~/.xsession script as a
hack to source ~/.xprofile to set the needed environment variables and
also start ibus-daemon, because I really only need i3 (and xfce as a
fallback).
Thanks.
Regards,
Peter

How to set global environment variables in Guix System
Dear All, I am trying to setup ibus-rime for Chinese input in guix system 1.2.0, after a lot of googling and trial and error, I found that I cannot set the needed environment variables: export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus" export QT_IM_MODULE="ibus" export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus" I have tried putting them in ~/.profile, ~/.pam_environment, ~/.xprofile and it seems they have no effects. If I am not mistaken, guix system now uses gdm as display manager, but I also cannot find a way to set environment variable for gdm sessions. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, I think a way to let user customize /etc/environment through the system config will be useful, but I do not find a way to do so. Thanks. Regards, Peter
How to debug / investigate non-reproducible build for r-repr?
Dear all, I am trying to import r-languageserver, and one of its dependency is r-repr, which I found that cannot be built reproducibly (on my laptop's guix, installed on Linux Mint), i.e. guix build --rounds=2 r-repr would give the error saying that "...r-repr-1.1.0.drv differs from previous round". How should I begin to investigate the issue? Regards, Peter
Very slow download speed of substitutes
Dear all, I am trying guix import from cran, and building some R packages, which sometimes needs to download substitutes. i noticed that the download speed can be ridiculously slow and seems especially during night in HKT.

So is this problem with my guix setting or is it known that ci.guix.gnu.org is slow? This guix is installed on Linux Mint 19.2, and I did "guix pull" yesterday. Regards, Peter

Install older version of a package with the "@version" specifier
Dear all, I am trying to install r version 3.6.3, where the current version is at 4.0.2. Accordingly to the manual at https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-package.html it should be possible to specify the package version such as "guix package -i r@3.6.2", but on my guix (installed on slackware 14.2), it says: guix package: error: r: package not found for version 3.6.2 What am I missing here?
