using texlive class from a private texmf tree
Hello guix,
I don't know if the problem I am having is with texlive or Guix.
How do I use my own (xe)latex class with the guix texlive? Why does
using a private texmf.cnf to specify the path to my class not work?
Does anyone have a setup that works or any suggestions what else can be
tried?
In what follows I try to put my private latex tree under ~/.texmf but
have also tried it under ~/texmf with the same results. This is on Arch
Linux with a recent guix.
This is what is installed:
$ guix package -I | grep tex
texlive-bin 20180414out
/gnu/store/x9c77i6r5fmarslij6ng81awgrxblplm-texlive-bin-20180414

$ which -a xelatex
/home/myles/.guix-profile/bin/xelatex
Set up directories:
#+begin_src sh
mkdir -p ~/.texmf/tex/latex/mytest
mkdir ~/tmp/tex
#+end_src
Create these test files:
#+begin_src sh :tangle ~/.texmf/tex/latex/mytest/my-class.cls
\ProvidesClass{my-class}
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\LoadClass[11pt]{article}
\pagestyle{plain}
#+end_src
#+begin_src sh :tangle ~/tmp/tex/a.tex
\documentclass{my-class}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
#+end_src
Check there are no environment variables that might effect things:
$ env | grep TEX
[nothing]
$ source ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile
$ env | grep TEX
TEXMF=/gnu/store/bmdzgjxr0xjyz03gislmwvv1p8vid8qp-profile/share/texmf-dist
TEXMFCNF=/gnu/store/bmdzgjxr0xjyz03gislmwvv1p8vid8qp-profile/share/texmf-dist/web2c
$ kpsewhich -all -var-value TEXMF
/gnu/store/bmdzgjxr0xjyz03gislmwvv1p8vid8qp-profile/share/texmf-dist
$ kpsewhich -all -var-value TEXMFCNF
/gnu/store/bmdzgjxr0xjyz03gislmwvv1p8vid8qp-profile/share/texmf-dist/web2c
$ grep "^TEXMF " `kpsewhich -all -var-value TEXMFCNF`/texmf.cnf
TEXMF = $TEXMFROOT/share/texmf-dist
It it not going to find my-class.cls unless the path TEXMF in the texmf.cnf
(above) is changed. So making a private texmf.cnf file as recommended in [1],
and noting that "definitions in earlier files override those in later files"
[2]:
#+begin_src sh :tangle ~/.texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
TEXMFHOME = $HOME/.texmf
TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,$TEXMFROOT/share/texmf-dist}
#+end_src
Change TEXMFCNF so it should be found:
$ export
TEXMFCNF={$HOME/.texmf/web2c,/home/myles/.guix-profile/share/texmf-dist/web2c}
Check to see if that variable has been adopted by texlive:
$ kpsewhich -all -var-value TEXMFCNF
{/home/myles/.texmf/web2c,/home/myles/.guix-profile/share/texmf-dist/web2c}
$ kpsewhich -show-path=cnf
/home/myles/.texmf/web2c:/home/myles/.guix-profile/share/texmf-dist/web2c
But when I check TEXMF it has not changed:
$ kpsewhich -all -var-value TEXMF
/gnu/store/bmdzgjxr0xjyz03gislmwvv1p8vid8qp-profile/share/texmf-dist
However, TEXMF is also an environment variable set in
~/.guix-profile/etc/profile. Try compiling the test file anyway:
$ cd ~/tmp/a
$ xelatex a
#+begin_quote
This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.9 (TeX Live 2018) (preloaded
format=xelatex)

Type X to quit or to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: cls)
Enter file name:
#+end_quote
Well that didn't work. Try unsetting the environment variable TEXMF first:
$ unset TEXMF
$ kpsewhich -all -var-value TEXMF
{/home/myles/.texmf,/gnu/store/b28kk24c3b0hspzb4787xb50mf074l0g-texlive-configuration/share/share/texmf-dist}

Thanks to bavier and reepca on IRC #guix who figured out this happens when the package definition is changed (by e.g., adding "(recursive? #t)") but the hash is not updated. This causes guix to think, reasonably, that it already has the source in /gnu/store/the_hash-etc because the_hash hasn't changed since the last time it was fetched. To fix, just remove the source from the store before trying again: $ guix gc -d /gnu/store/the_hash-etc (N.B. the "-d" above might have changed to "-D") Additionally, when developing a package, reepca suggested making a random change to the hash just so guix knows it needs to get the source again, and it will suggested the real hash to put in the package definition.

fetching git submodule using (uri (recursive? #t))
Hello guix,
I am trying to build this package that uses git submodules but the
(recursive? #t) doesn't seem to have any effect. I understand that it
would be preferable to replace the submodules with separate packages but
the modules themselves are quite specific to the main package,
e.g. https://github.com/solvespace/libdxfrw describes itself as
"SolveSpace's independent fork of libdxfrw".
The actual build error is:
-- Using in-tree libdxfrw

getting started with a VM
Hello, I have been using Guix as a package manager for a while and would like to try GuixSD as a VM. I am having trouble getting started and have a few questions if you don't mind. What needs to be considered when choosing whether to install on a VM from the USB image[1] or using the pre-built VM image[2]? After starting a VM from the pre-built image, as per the manual: qemu-system-x86_64 \ -net user -net nic,model=virtio \ -enable-kvm -m 256 guixsd-vm-image-0.13.0.x86_64-linux how would I ssh into it? The docs[2] say "to get network access from within the vm add the (dhcp-client-service) to your system definition...", where is the system definition of the pre-built image? Thanks, Myles [2] https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Running-GuixSD-in-a-VM.html#Running-GuixSD-in-a-VM [1] https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Installing-GuixSD-in-a-VM.html#Installing-GuixSD-in-a-VM

I haven't experienced this problem. Thanks for your data! I am using the same version of systemd.

I tried strace and there is nothing obvious that say guix is involved in the unmounting, other than a lot of disk IO. Based on internet search results, and the fact that it has been happening more frequently, I am beginning to suspect my hard drive plus or minus btrfs (not wanting to cast aspersions because btrfs has otherwise been very well behaved).

Recursively propagate build-system 'arguments' to dependency packages?
Trying to define a package to be compiled by ghc-8, and I think all of its dependencies must also be compiled by ghc-8 rather than ghc (which is version 7). This is easy to do with one package, e.g..: (define-module (my-packages myhaskell) ... #:use-module ((gnu packages haskell) #:prefix haskellmain:)) (define-public ghc-hunit8 (package (inherit haskellmain:ghc-hunit) (arguments `(#:haskell ,ghc-8 To do that recursively for all the dependencies seems Too Difficult so, is there a way to do something like --with-input=ghc=ghc-8 but with the build-system arguments? Perhaps doing the work in between the Bag and the Derivation? Myles

Also, I was actually using 0.10.0 not 0.11.0. Myles
gnutls test failing during 'guix pull'
Hello, I installed Guix 0.11.0 and I have tried a basic 'guix pull' to upgrade to 0.12.0 but it fails with the output below. Does anyone else have this problem?

After installing glibc-locales it works. Myles

Perhaps this step could be added to the documentation in "2.6.1 Locales"? I also might have been using --locale wrong but I still can't get initdb to use one: $ initdb --locale=en_GB -E UTF8 -D '/home/myles/pgdata-guix' The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "myles". This user must also own the server process. initdb: invalid locale name "en_GB" $ initdb --locale=en_GB.UTF-8 -E UTF8 -D '/home/myles/pgdata-guix' The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "myles". This user must also own the server process. initdb: invalid locale name "en_GB.UTF-8" $ initdb -D '/home/myles/pgdata-guix' The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "myles". This user must also own the server process. initdb: invalid locale settings; check LANG and LC_* environment variables Any ideas? Myles
Re: Arch Linux locale-gen tries to use /run/current-system
Thank you for the reply, unfortunately that computer has come to the end of its natural life so I can't investigate any further. I will be sure to try nix on my new build.
