I attest that I succeeded this weekend by following the instructions in the latest (development) version of the guix manual without commenting anything out. I've just finished updating the system and rebooted to confirm that it still works with the latest updates. I do not know what your error means but among the things that I was unsure about I remember the following two. First, I almost missed that "static-networking" is a data type that must go in a list under "static-networking-service-type" as explained in the previous example in the same manual. Instead, I also added "%loopback-static-networking", though it produced a different error which clearly explained that loopback is already implicitly included. Second, I was unsure where to get the IPv6 default gateway. I tried the "ip -6 route" command. As far as I remember, it provided a link-local address. Though, I see both the link-local and the global address now in the output on another autoconfigured (SLAAC) device. I just checked the gateway address on the router instead. I included only the global address. The only other difference in my configuration is that I indicated a DNS server for IPv6 too. I hope this may help.

(I have a use that's similar to yours.) Under my usual use case, the phone lasts around 12 hours on average on a single full charge. That covers several calls, SMS, XMPP via Dino, and some browsing when away from a computer. The worst I had was some 8 hours, which I blame on not shutting the web browser with some runway process. The official number used to be 10 hours for battery capacity. I hope it will be possible to run Guix System on it eventually. But I am unsure how to aid in this.

Re: mobile phone with LineageOS, iodeOS, Replicant...
Hi Gottfried У чт, 2023-12-21 у 11:42 +, Gottfried пише: > which mobile phone would You support with which free software? I have been using a Librem 5 device for the last five months. However, I only needed phone calls, SMS messages, and XMPP chats via Dino. I also developed a habit of constantly charging it with a portable battery. The call quality is average, but the device was reliable. It comes with PureOS, which is one of the FSF-approved GNU distributions. The caveat is that the cellular modem and the chip require some non-free firmware: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Frequently-Asked- Questions#18-what-is-respects-your-freedom-certification-and-how-close- is-the-librem-5-to-getting-it . > I am sorry, my question is not about Guix, but about free software. There have been some efforts to make the Guix System work on Librem 5. I am learning to install a distribution on it and potentially test something for Guix. If anyone here has any suggestions, I am open to any experiments! I have noticed that Purism uses some development tools for flashing that are missing in Guix. > Or is there a website or a forum which would be able to help? If your question is still relevant, you may want to take a look at https://forums.puri.sm/c/hw/l5/ . The authors own various mobile devices, not only from Purism, and are eager to tell about it. Beware that some focus more on what they perceive as security rather than on freedom. > I will hopefully get a job and I need a mobile phone for it. It depends on your job expectations. I have a separate phone for clients who demand me to use non-free software for communication. However, if you need only a phone number, you do not necessarily need a smartphone.

Re: Laptop won’t boot after Guix install

It tends to > create more problems and may not provide the security you expect. Just to be clear, I do not promote the use of "Secure Boot" in any way. Instead, I suggest looking again into different options in the firmware settings and trying some of them, even if they seem irrelevant. Unfortunately, the firmware is often poorly designed and non-free. In my anecdotal case, it is possible to edit boot options by specifying paths from within the EUFI setup only when the "Secure Boot" is on. Otherwise, the option is not merely greyed out but is absent altogether. It is also named inappropriately. After configuring the boot options, I turn off the "Secure Boot" by emptying its password. Hopefully, the firmware is not this broken on the device which Ian is trying to use, but I try to be helpful. Roman signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Sometimes, the installer makes a BIOS-compatible installation which fails to run from UEFI. The fix might be as simple as choosing a different USB boot option before running the installer. I typically have two boot options before running the installer from the USB: one is for UEFI, while the other is for BIOS. When the firmware supports both options, they are available, and the BIOS installer is usually the default. Another approach is to tweak your firmware settings to disable CMS (Compatibility Support Mode) and other compatibility features so that only the UEFI installer is available and try re-installing Guix to ensure it installs UEFI. Please note that I am neither a developer nor administrator, but just a user who shares experience as I understand it. > Secure boot is disabled in the BIOS. You might want to try enabling it and see if any other options become available in the firmware settings. For example, if I reset my laptop firmware, all boot options are usually gone. I need to enable secure boot and choose "Select a UEFI file as trusted", which becomes available only with secure boot enabled. I can add a path to a ".efi" file there. I hope you solve it soon!

URLs of substitutes
Hello Is it possible to get a URL for a substitute, for example for the Linux kernel? I am trying to troubleshoot connection to a substitute sever with my tunnel broker, which is slow for this server for some reason and eventually times out when running `guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm`. I considered showing wget output to the technical support as an example but do not know how to find the URL. Roman signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

If you only remove a user from GNOME Settings without removing it from the system configuration file, the user will re-appear in GNOME Settings on reboot or the next time the system is reconfigured and a home directory will be created for it if it was removed.
