I input Japanese reliably using this. I don't use the other input

Just to add that I upgraded my system to guix e2ba933 today, started the

Using ibus input methods in Emacs GTK+
Hello, I upgraded my Guix system (currently on 17fadbb) and now I can type Japanese again (thanks, 宋文武). However, ibus input methods are working everywhere (GTK, GTK+, Qt) except in Emacs GTK+, which is unexpected because typing Japanese in Emacs used to just work before. My current workaround is to start "emacs -nw" in a GNOME Console and then I can use ibus in it. I thought that maybe something in Emacs 28.x had changed, but trying on a Debian 12 machine, I can use ibus normally in Emacs GTK+ without configuring anything. If you're able to type Japanese (or use ibus input methods in general) in Emacs GTK+, did you have to do anything special?

I guess mhrunnels refers to an index of modules, something that is commonly found in API documents. As far as I know, Guix doesn't provide such an index or separate API reference documentation. The Guix manual mentions modules and what they provide in the context of sections. What you can do is explore the "gnu" and "guix" directories in Guix's source (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/), which provide all those modules and submodules you see imported everywhere. You might also check this video for an explanation of the source tree: https://10years.guix.gnu.org/program/#guixy-guile-the-derivation-factory-a-tour-of-the-guix-source-tree. Also, You can explore modules using Emacs Geiser and its "Module documentation" option. Personally, though, I'd like to see a complete Guix API index on the web (that's on my project manager). publickey - luis.felipe.la@protonmail.com - 0x12DE1598.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I'm not sure I understand what "window key press tilix" means, but, for what it's worth, I just installed tilix in guix fb3085e and I can go to the list of applications, click on Tilix, and it starts normally. For example: 1. Open the applications view (press the Super key twice quickly on the keyboard) 2. Page through the list until you find Tilix icon 3. Click on Tilix icon The application starts. The only problem I see is that the app icon is not displayed correctly; instead, you see a generic application launcher icon.

Unfortunatelly, yes. Although I tried on another Guix System that didn't have ibus set up yet.

Guix System Latest: Installation report
Hi, This is to report my experience installing the Guix System yesterday on a new old machine. In general, the installation went almost flawlessly and I'm happy to have another machine with the Guix System around. Installer: w0wi4jvanaddk1zcvwzhlnn7fkfwab82-image.iso Host: 20324 Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 10 Kernel: 6.0.8-gnu Resolution: 1366x768 CPU: Intel Celeron N2806 (2) @ 1.999GHz GPU: Intel Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display Memory: 690MiB / 1871MiB 1. DOWNLOADING THE INSTALLER I already knew my way through the Guix website, but I was thinking that I still see people unsure about what installer they should download: Standard or Latest? Personally, I think the Latest should be prescribed somehow. Maybe add some hints to make people be sure that that one is the recommended installer? I don't know... But then I think what to do with the Standard, and I don't know. Because, as I see it, standard, versioned releases are useful to + Let contributors wind down, enjoy and reflect + Let current users know what's new and what's next + Spread the word about Guix around new neighbourhoods 2. INSTALLER: KEYBOARD LAYOUT SELECTION I was wondering if it is possible to provide a text box to let people try out the selected distribution. Because, for example, Spanish has many options and I'm always unsure about whether I selected the right one, and whether selecting a wrong one could affect password creations in later steps during the installation (although one can enable the "show password" option). 3. INSTALLER: PRINTING AND DOCUMENT SERVICES SELECTION I pretty much skipped that step because I didn't understand exactly what it was about (I've never used CUPS, I think). After looking up CUPS on Wikipedia just now, I'd propose that installation step to read along the lines of: Enable CUPS if this machine is going to provide printing services to other devices in your network. 4. INSTALLER: AFTER INSTALLING ALL PACKAGES After the whole process of downloading, grafting and installation of packages, the installation of the system seemed to be frozen in Inicializando el sistema operativo en /mnt I don't know the source English string for that. Maybe Initializing operating system in /mnt It took around 30 minutes in my case to continue. I thought it had failed or something. But, finally, the little success window appeared telling me to remove the installation media and restart. 5. INSTALLER: INSTALLATION COMPLETE STEP I clicked the Restart button in the installer window, removed the installation media, and then saw a kernel panic message. The machine didn't restart. I had to restart it manually. Unfortunatelly, I didn't took a picture of the message, and I don't remember anything else (I panicked myself :)). I wonder if not following the exact instructions caused this. Because I pressed the Restart button and then removed the media, instead of doing it the other way around... 6. LOGGING IN TO GNOME DESKTOP FOR THE FIRST TIME I saw two things: 6.1. The desktop background is a flat blue background. I was expecting to see a default GNOME background, or a Guix background. (I have some Guix backgrounds that I've been planning to package. Maybe one of them could be used by default?). 6.2. WiFi was activated, but not connected to any network. I was expecting it to be already connected to the same network I used during the installation. Is it not supposed to work like that currently? But now that I think about it, I saw some network related message when the kernel panicked... Anyways, thanks for all the work on improving the installer and booting time.

As far as I know, you can only get completion for symbols defined in other modules and libraries if 1. The library is in Guile's load path and 2. The module import is evaluated The first requirement is handled automatically when the library is installed with Guix. The second one too, if you are typing in a REPL. If you are typing in a file, it isn't; you have to command the evaluation yourself. For example, in Guix System, I start Emacs, visit a file, and run geiser-guile. Then, to call Guix's "package-direct-inputs", I type the following (use-modules (guix packages)) ;;; C-c C-B to evaluate the buffer and get completion for symbols in (guix packages) ;;; Then, start typing and press C-M-i. It should complete. (package-di ;;; If you don't evaluate the module imports, completion won't work.

Re: Can't reconnect to WiFi easily
hi, I've been using Jami again for about a day and I haven't had any network issues. Still, I'd like to find out why my guix system can't reconnect automatically when the internet goes down in the local gateway device, while other devices in the network do reconnect. So I turned off and on the gateway. All client devices lost connection, as expected. To my surprise, when the WiFi service was up again, all devices, including my guix system, reconnected automatically. I could browse the web normally, and could chat through Jami. However, I noticed the GNOME WiFi icon indicating a problem: the little waves appeared grayed out and there was a question mark in the middle. I don't know what that state indicates and GNOME Help didn't helped regarding that. In any case, I decided to try and restart the networking service in my machine to see if everything, including the WiFi icon, went back to normal. So I ran #+begin_example $ sudo herd restart networking Service avahi-daemon has been stopped. Service ntpd has been stopped. Service networking has been stopped. Service networking has been started. Service ntpd has been started. Service avahi-daemon has been started. #+end_example Apparently, all went well, but, actually, the networking service went down: GNOME's WiFi icon disappeared, and I couldn't access the Internet from any application. At this point, I decided to look at dmesg's, as Petr suggested: #+begin_example $ sudo dmesg -H [...] [nov 2 10:03] wlp2s0: authenticate with cc:03:fa:d7:16:e2 [ +0,30] wlp2s0: bad VHT capabilities, disabling VHT [ +0,16] wlp2s0: 80 MHz not supported, disabling VHT [ +0,013859] wlp2s0: send auth to cc:03:fa:d7:16:e2 (try 1/3) [ +0,066280] wlp2s0: send auth to cc:03:fa:d7:16:e2 (try 2/3) [ +0,073524] wlp2s0: send auth to cc:03:fa:d7:16:e2 (try 3/3) [ +0,053114] wlp2s0: authentication with cc:03:fa:d7:16:e2 timed out [nov 2 10:04] wlp2s0: authenticate with cc:03:fa:d7:16:e2 [ +0,30] wlp2s0: bad VHT capabilities, disabling VHT [ +0,03] wlp2s0: 80 MHz not supported, disabling VHT [ +0,015354] wlp2s0: send auth to cc:03:fa:d7:16:e2 (try 1/3) [ +0,003144] wlp2s0: authenticated [ +0,004155] wlp2s0: associate with cc:03:fa:d7:16:e2 (try 1/3) [ +0,009404] wlp2s0: RX AssocResp from cc:03:fa:d7:16:e2 (capab=0x1411 status=0 aid=1) [ +0,000309] wlp2s0: associated [ +0,082609] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlp2s0: link becomes ready [nov 2 10:12] wlp2s0: deauthenticating from cc:03:fa:d7:16:e2 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING) #+end_example Those are the messages during the time I turned off and on the gateway and then ran "sudo herd restart networking". At the time of the last message, the guix system machine lost access to the Internet. That message seems useful, but I don't know what it means. Trying to restart networking a second time: #+begin_example $ sudo herd restart networking Service networking is not running. Service networking is currently disabled. #+end_example So, the networking service got disabled the first time I ran "sudo herd restart", and now I couldn't restart it, even though herd informed that the "Service networking has been started". Then, I thought that if it was not running, I could simply start it (instead of restart it): #+begin_example $ sudo herd start networking Service networking is currently disabled. herd: failed to start service networking #+end_example No luck. Fortunatelly, in this scenario, as you can see, the herd commands were not hanging (as it happens when the WiFi goes down by itself), so I rebooted: #+begin_example sudo reboot #+end_example Unfortunatelly, after rebooting, the machine still had no network connection and GNOME's WiFi icon still gone. Also, the problem of hanging commands arose. And it turns out it's not just herd's commands that hang but also others like the following (many other commands worked, though): #+begin_example $ sudo dmesg -H $ ip addr #+end_example I changed to TTY1 hoping to be able to see something there. I saw the following messages (transcribed by hand, there may be mistakes): #+begin_example This is the GNU System.

So does "/run/user/1000/at-spi/bus_0" exists in your system? If it does exposing it would probably make the accessibility warning go away. I see similar messages myself when running GUI apps but need to expose a different file (see below). I don't know what's the best way to fix the pixbuf error; I'd simply do what you already did: included the gdk-pixbuf package in the command. I don't know if that would mean the kicad package should be modified to include it. > What are the last two directories that you are exposing?

You can ignore "--expose=$HOME/Descargas" which is just a directory from which I read files when using my application. As for "--expose=/tmp/dbus-fnAz1hb4to", it's the file I always have to provide to avoid this error: (mazo.py:3): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 15:22:47.557: Unable to connect to the accessibility bus at 'unix:path=/tmp/dbus-fnAz1hb4to,guid=7edf085d4bc4b153351b79bb635ea1b4': Could not connect: No such file or directory This file changes when you reboot the system, so you always have to update your container command. I looked for possible environment variables that could define it, but could not find anything. I also migrated my application to GTK 4 recently and found a new warnings, and they can't be ignored because the application misbehaves if you don't fix them (some GUI interactions freeze interaction with the whole GNOME Shell): libEGL warning: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information libEGL warning: DRI2: could not open /dev/dri/card0 (No such file or directory) libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information My current fix is to expose "/dev/dri/card0".

Ctrl+C > does nothing. Actually, after the networking service appears to goes down, all the following commands hang: #+begin_example sudo herd status sudo herd stop networking sudo herd start networking sudo herd restart networking sudo reboot sudo halt sudo shepherd --help #+end_example Pressing =Ctrl+C= has no other effect but to print ^C. It's as if the shepherd itself were down. So I guess that's why I can't restart or turn the machine off from GNOME Shell either, because GNOME's buttons call "halt" and "reboot" (?). Is it really possible for an application like Jami to cause this problem or am I just going loco?

For what it's worth, kicad seems to work for me in a container.

Same for me (I'm using Guix System with guix 4716cea). When running renpy-launcher I also noticed that the sample projects "Tutorial" and "The Question" are listed but grayed out, you can't launch them. Then I found out that these two are provided as separate outputs of the renpy package in Guix, so I installed them.

What I do is set the LANG variable to C. For example, in a terminal, you'd run: LANG=C guix describe And you'd get the output in English only for that command. If you run it again without the "LANG=C" part, you should see the output in German. I see the value C as "the language or locale in which programs were originally written". In this case it is English because Guix is written in English. You can use the same trick to use programs in any of the languages they are localized to. For example, the following prints the output in French: LANG=fr_FR.utf8 guix describe To find out what kind of values you can pass to LANG, you can run the following command: locale --all That command is provided by the package "gcc-toolchain".

Can't reconnect to WiFi easily
§ Summary Recently, I had to switch to using WiFi to access the Internet and it hasn't been a nice experience. I don't know the root of the problem or problems, but I notice that I'm the only one affected by these (I'm the only Guix System user in the local network). I don't do anything special to connect to WiFi; I use GNOME, so I simply select the local network in GNOME Configuration and connect to it. I'm using Guix System 4716cea, and whatever the GNOME desktop uses to connect to the Internet. § The problem(s) I lose connection twice or three times a day and the system can't connect back automatically when/if it loses connection. When this happens, many times GNOME's WiFi indicator fails to tell me the real state of the connection. Sometimes there is no connection and it says there is, and vice versa. I used to be able to restart the networking service as follows: ❚ sudo herd stop networking ❚ sudo herd start networking But after upgrading my system (currently 4716cea), the first command just seems to hang and never returns, no matter the terminal I run it on. Ctrl+C does nothing. I see no other option but rebooting. But that also fails. For example, when I tell GNOME to reboot, the process hangs in a black screen displaying two messages that read ❚ ModemManager[416]: caught signal, shutting down... ❚ ModemManager[416]: could not acquire the 'org.freedesktop.ModemManager1' service name After this, I have to restart the machine physically. I know WiFi networks are not that stable, but my system/machine seems to be the only one that can't recover from connection failure.

I wonder if g-golf really works with GTK 4 (the guix package depends on gtk+, which is GTK+ 3)? It's a similar situation with guile-gi... Also, the "Hello World" example in the documentation is written usin GTK+ API as far as I can see.

It works nicely so far. Thanks. Actually, Emacs Elpy uses several common packages used to program Python in Emacs. It's just that it started failing for me a couple of months ago for different reasons so I thought it would be good to find a fallback editor. However, I found out that there was something in my monolithic Emacs init.el causing autocompletion to fail. I haven't been able to pinpoint the configuration snippet that is causing the problem though. So I just ditched that init.el and started using different, short initialization files depending on the need, and now I can use Emacs Elpy again normaly. > I have modified some emacs plugins a bit, and am currently working on > refining things for a setup that gives nice auto-completion for Python, > Javascript and Guile, which can be used from Emacs with a simple > installation of a manifest, and maybe a home-configuration in the > future.

In each of these containers, I ran "emacs -q -l CONFIG.el" to avoid loading any "init.el" file, and instead load a specific, minimal configuration file for each IDE. Autocompletion worked in all of them.

Thanks, Fredrik :) I tried both emacs-lsp-mode and eglot today, but autocompletion didn't work in any of them. They both seem to use company-mode by default, the same as emacs-elpy. Is autocompletion working for you? If yes, what version of Guix are you using? (I'm on Guix System 3f17158, emacs-company 0.9.13). Using M-x completion-at-point works though, but I prefer autocompletion. I think I found emacs-lsp-mode faster than eglot, and the autodocumentation/help in the latter was kind of distracting because it displays too much information for the symbol at point, which makes the minibuffer change hight frequently. publickey - luis.felipe.la@protonmail.com - 0x12DE1598.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

What Python IDE are you using?
Hi, I've been using Emacs Elpy as my Python IDE for a long time now, but it's been failing to work properly for a while (currently, autocompletion doesn't work; before that linting was not working). What do you use to program in Python? Is the IDE you use dependable or does it present these kinds of frequent problems too? So far I've tried GNOME Builder, but it's pretty much like using Gedit: just syntax highlighting. GNOME Builder's features have never worked when I've tried them out. I'm currently checking an IDE called Pyzo. And next will try Emacs lsp-mode. So if you have had a good/bad experience with these, I'd appreciate if you could comment about it.

For what it's worth, it fails in the same way for me too. Trying to open a

If you just need to work with SQLite databases, I tried guile-sqlite3 and it
worked (connecting, inserting records, etc). It is not documented, but the
tests help discover how to use some things
(https://notabug.org/guile-sqlite3/guile-sqlite3.git).
For example, I don't know what I'm doing, but this works:
~~~
(import (sqlite3))
;; Log into the database.
(define db (sqlite-open "database.sqlite3"))
;; Create a table.
(sqlite-exec db "create table hellotable(id int, name varchar(15))")
;; Populate the table with values.
(sqlite-exec db "insert into hellotable ('id', 'name') values('33', 'ola')")
(sqlite-exec db "insert into hellotable ('id', 'name') values('34', 'dzien
dobre')")
(sqlite-exec db "insert into hellotable ('id', 'name') values('44', 'annyong
haseyo')")
;; Display each of the rows of the table, in turn.
(let* [(stmt (sqlite-prepare db "select * from hellotable"))
(result (sqlite-map identity stmt))]
(for-each

It seems like the same problem I came across recently with gfeeds (see
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55085).
I fixed this by making the program require WebKit 4.1 instead of 4.0, but I'm
not sure if that's the right way to do it.

Traditional and digital media can be mixed :) Personally, what I do is sketch ideas (pencil/pen on paper) whenever Guile or Guix activity makes me imagine something. I keep them around. When the time comes (a Guix event, a request from Guix people, etc.), I go through the sketches, sketch more if necessary, scan the ones I think that could work and develop them further in Inkscape (and MyPaint and GIMP). When one of the pieces passes my own quality standards, I send a proposal. One part where I think graphics help a lot is when posting on the Fediverse, for example. There's a lot of activity over there and text-only posts may just look like water in the stream. Posts with graphics, screenshots, etc., stand out. I sometimes propose graphics to Guix users and contributors posting about their own initiatives there (packaging meetups, documentation meetups). And I post independently too.

Latam keyboard layout changed, how can I get the old one back?
Hi,
I'm currently using Guix System (guix ab98b51), and noticed that I can't type
less-than (<) and greater-than (>) signs anymore, even though I didn't change
the keyboard-layout in my system definition (or anywhere else):
(keyboard-layout "latam" #:options '("ctrl:nocaps"))
Using this layout, I used to get less-than and greater-than by typing
Alt+Shift+Z and Alt+Shift+X, respectively, but when I upgraded to guix ab98b51,
I started getting single angle quotation marks instead (‹›, the sisters of «»).
Checking the layout in GNOME, I saw a 105-keys keyboard, but mine is 104 keys,
so I reconfigured my system with
(keyboard-layout "latam" #:model "pc104" #:options '("ctrl:nocaps"))
but that didn't do much: less-than and greater-than are still nowhere to be
found:
https://luis-felipe.gitlab.io/media/2022/04/gnome-41-distribución-de-teclado-español-latinoamericano-104-teclas.png
In the meantime, I've been typing the lost signs entering their UNICODE
directly (Shift+U+UNICODE), but if anyone knows how to get the old mapping
back, that'll be great.
Thanks in advance,
---

Daniel, I think it would be good to report the issue to https://issues.guix.gnu.org/ with the information in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2021-12/msg00088.html, and provide the command below as a proposed replacement, which I can confirm launches chromium in Guix System. I think that would be a start at least. Would you like to do that, or should I do it? > Concerning the chromium example, for me this works: > > --8<---cut here---start->8--- > guix shell --container --network --no-cwd ungoogled-chromium \ > --preserve='^DISPLAY$' --preserve='^XAUTHORITY$' \ > --expose=$XAUTHORITY -- chromium > --8<---cut here---end--->8--- > > Maybe for your example (I couldn't check since I didn't find any package > called mazo or python-mazo) this would work: Yeah, sorry, I should have mentioned that "mazo" is an application I'm writing.

Running graphical apps with guix shell --container
Hi, I'm trying to run a GTK application in an isolated environment, but the application seems to fail when trying to be displayed. I'm running these commands: EXAMPLE: $ guix shell -C --preserve='^DISPLAY$' $ python3 mazo INFO: No database found. Creating it. INFO: Database created. Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused (mazo:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 23:24:28.154: cannot open display: :1 END EXAMPLE Also, trying the following example from Guix manual, the browser does not start: EXAMPLE: $ guix shell --container --network --no-cwd ungoogled-chromium --preserve='^DISPLAY$' -- chromium Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified END EXAMPLE I'm using Guix System 037c2b6. --- Luis Felipe López Acevedo https://luis-felipe.gitlab.io/ publickey - luis.felipe.la@protonmail.com - 0x12DE1598.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

As Mark indicates in that report, you can work around the issue by using manifests. For instance, to work on your Application project, you can do more or less something like this: $ cd my-app $ guix shell -m manifest.scm $ RUN_YOUR_APP That way Guix will create an augmented environment with all the packages listed in the manifest.scm file, where you can develop your application.

Uh, I forgot the search box displays help on how to search once you focus it, thanks. The last build of gnome-desktop succeeded: https://ci.guix.gnu.org/search?query=spec%3Acore-updates-frozen+system%3Ax86_64-linux+gnome-desktop And there seems to be 88% substitute availability for the packages in my profile.

Is there a way to see this information on the web (https://ci.guix.gnu.org/)? Say, substitute availability for packages in core-updates-frozen (x86_64-linux). The machine I use is not capable of building much, and running "guix weather -s x86_64-linux" takes a lot of time. publickey - luis.felipe.la@protonmail.com - 0x12DE1598.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Thanks, good to know about the options and that geckodriver is there now.
