Well, the easiest (and possibly dangerous way) to do this, would be to create a config.scm file, then run guix system init /etc/config.scm When you reboot, you would be running guix system.

I had a similar issue with gajim the last time I tried to use it.
I just use dino now. It's much simpler and more stable.

Please bear in mind that what you are trying is a little beyond my paygrade. Is this a 32 bit or 64 bit processor? My gut feeling is that running guix system on a 32 bit arm board is going to be very painful.

Hey thanks for sharing! How about we make this guide a bit more permanent?
Would you mind writing this up and including it in the guix cookbook?
Once you submit the patch, please CC me. I'll review it for you.
Thanks again!

My problem with that method (and yes I was once stupid enough to pull this off), was that I had created such a file with my gpg key, and then lost that key. All my passwords gone. :( Sad day. I'll tell you what, I'll go ahead and try to use a .authinfo.gpg again and try password based encryption. Can't hurt as long as I remember the password somewhere. Joshua > > Kind regards, > > T G-R

I am of course simplifying: (string-append "hello" (if some-var " world\n")) error: expecting type string (string-append "hello" #unspecified) It took me an embarrassing amount of time to track down where the #unspecified was coming from. I feel like the error message was a little bit cryptic. It said that one particular function cause the error...It just took me a while to track it down.

Making a DIY smart or dumb phone
Hey guix, EOMA68, and bug-hurd! I'm getting really tired of carrying my Android phone around with google's spyware, so I thought that I would try to make myself a DIY dumb or smart phone... What gets me excited is to see simple guides like this that show you how to make your own smartphone that supports SMS and traditional calling using purism's gnome shell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjX7nS3kIao (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjX7nS3kIao) (apologies for the youtube link...) The minor problem with the above link is that it uses a rasberry pi, which uses some firemware blobs... Anyway, I would love to make my own guix phone, and unfortunately it needs to support SMS and traditional calls, so there might be some binary blobs for the modem. Anyway, how hard would it be to create such a phone that is EOMA68 compliant? Is that possible? Could I somehow fit a beagle bone board into the EOMA68 case and wire it up? What is the status on the EOMA68 phone? I know you guys have a laptop housing. Does there exist a design for a phone housing? I would also love too eventually love to run a phone on the Hurd. But currently the Hurd is limited to x86. I could use guix to run a hurd vm...then perhaps I could use Emacs inside the hurd vm to get text messages via jabber.el. The Hurd has a working prototype of sound support right? What command do you run to get sound on the Hurd? Here is a list of open-ish computers that I've found. Can anyone add to this list? https://wiki.parabola.nu/Computers Thanks, Joshua P.S. I have no sod-ering experience, and I would prefer to try to do a DIY phone so that I learn more about hardware! Thanks for any advice that you can give!
Guix Hang Out Attempt 2 and an Unoffical Guix Hackathon/config party
Hello friends! Let's try to do another guix hang out next Tuesday, July 27th! We'll meet at 7pm UTC. (I think that is 3pm EST). That is one of the few days I usually have officially off, so I will meet you all with jitsi: https://meet.jit.si/guix password: smoothsystem I plan on meeting for at least an hour, but ya'll are welcome to attend for a shorter or longer duration. Feel free to come and chat about guix or ask any config questions. I'm perfectly happy to try to help you fix your current configuration issue. The following Tuesday, August 3rd at 7pm UTC, let's do an unofficial guix hackathon/config party. What service do you want? What package? What services are you having difficulty setting up? I want to see gitile-service-type get merged personally. It looks so beautiful! How about a sway-service-type? opensmtpd-configuration record? Let's talk about it then: https://meet.jit.si/guix password: smoothsystem If the guix room gets too noisy and crowded, we can always split it up. Live long and prosper, Joshua

As such we abide by the GNU coding standards, which means that our documentation standard is GNU Texinfo. It was suggested to Stallman a while ago that we should make the documentation standard Org mode, but Stallman did not like to force people to use Emacs to write GNU documentation. I would love to re-implement Org mode in GNU Guile, but that would probably be several years worth of effort. :) Or perhaps not.

That and their software is top notch! Linus called their developers "masturbating monkeys", because of their obsessive pursuit of security! hahaha. At every shutdown, the OpenBSD kernel is re-linked.

I love speculating on topics I know virtually nothing about! Most of my information comes from a mailing list thread that is about a year old. So the situation may be better than I describe it. :) The easiest way is to use GNU Guix on Windows is WSL (Windows subsystem for Linux): https://www.mail-archive.com/guile-user@gnu.org/msg12167.html I'm not a big fan of that, because of Window's history of "embrace, extend, extinguish." And that only lets you run Guix in Windows...what about Mac? The Hurd? React Os? Redox Os? https://www.mail-archive.com/guile-user@gnu.org/msg12173.html GNU Guix runs entirely on GNU Guile with some C++ for the build daemon. C++ is fairly portable. That bit should be possible to port, though I believe that the development plan is to eventually rewrite the C++ build daemon in GNU Guile. GNU Guile is the tricky bit. To the best of my knowledge, the newer versions of GNU Guile run exclusively on GNU/Linux, which is NOT the fault of the Guile developers! It's REALLY HARD to port things to all OSes. None of the Guile developers are paid for their fabulous work. And it's not like Windows or Mac make it easy to port to their platform. https://www.mail-archive.com/guile-user@gnu.org/msg12172.html Though, the Lilypond developers did get guile 2.2 version working on Windows. https://www.mail-archive.com/guile-user@gnu.org/msg12163.html So did the gnucash guys for GNU Guile 2.2, but it is fairly tough to get it to build: https://www.mail-archive.com/guile-user@gnu.org/msg12164.html Also, it's a 32-bit GNU Guile that was ported to windows and it does not supports thread. Also Guile 3.0's JIT works on lightening, which is a C library (program ?). And I do not know if that supports Windows. But C is really portable. :) > Thanks you very much and sorry for my english It was marvelous English! You should teach it!

I've never done it!). The contributing section of the manual may give you some pointers. If you'd rather pay someone to package this for you...that is certainly possible. I would guess you'd pay $50-$500 for that service. Can someone else chime in here?

Almost all things that Windows can do, GNU/Linux can do. Guix has ungoogled-chromium packaged, which would easily run Google Meet, Gmail, etc. There may be some specific windows-only programs that you may need to use... but generally it'll run on Linux too. Even some windows-only programs will run in wine on GNU/Linux. I personally have an old Android phone. I want to have a phone that runs GNU/Linux, but I haven't bought anything yet.

I didn't actually know that was a thing! I did just find this in the manual: The ‘modify-services’ form provides a handy way to change the parameters of some of the services of a list such as ‘%base-services’ (*note ‘%base-services’: Base Services.). It evaluates to a list of services. Of course, you could always use standard list combinators such as ‘map’ and ‘fold’ to do that (*note List Library: (guile)SRFI-1.); ‘modify-services’ simply provides a more concise form for this common pattern. So it looks like you can use 'map' and 'fold' on %desktop-services to manually remove that nm-applet...I'm not entirely certain how to do it though...

+@section Guix System Image API
+
+Historically, Guix System is centered around an @code{operating-system}
+structure. This structure contains various fields ranging from the
+bootloader and kernel declaration to the services to install. This is
+useful to create an installer image, but the new Guix System image API
+makes it possible to create an image that the user boots into directly.
+For example, an image that targets the Beagleboard or PinePhone
+directly.
+
+Turning an @code{operating-system} structure into a disk-image requires
+additional information such as the image label, size and
+partitioning. To this end, we can use the new @code{image} record.
+
+@lisp
+(define-record-type*
+ image make-image
+ image?
+ (name image-name ;symbol
+ (default #f))
+ (format image-format) ;symbol
+ (target image-target
+ (default #f))
+ (size image-size ;size in bytes as integer
+ (default 'guess))
+ (operating-system image-operating-system ;
+ (default #f))
+ (partitions image-partitions ;list of
+ (default '()))
+ (compression? image-compression? ;boolean
+ (default #t))
+ (volatile-root? image-volatile-root? ;boolean
+ (default #t))
+ (substitutable? image-substitutable? ;boolean
+ (default #t)))
+@end lisp
+
+This record also contains the operating-system to instantiate. The
+@code{format} field defines the image type and can be @code{disk-image},
+@code{compressed-qcow2} or @code{iso9660}. In the future, it could be
+extended to @code{docker} or other image types.
+
+A new directory in the Guix sources is dedicated to images definition. For now
+there are two files:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+@file{gnu/system/images/hurd.scm}
+
+@item
+@file{gnu/system/images/pine64.scm}
+
+@end itemize
+
+Let's have a look to @file{pine64.scm}. It contains the
+@code{pine64-barebones-os} variable which is a minimal definition of an
+operating-system dedicated to the @b{Pine A64 LTS} board.
+
+@lisp
+(define pine64-barebones-os
+ (operating-system
+(host-name "vignemale")
+(timezone "Europe/Paris")
+(locale "en_US.utf8")
+(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
+ (bootloader u-boot-pine64-lts-bootloader)
+ (target "/dev/vda")))
+(initrd-modules '())
+(kernel linux-libre-arm64-generic)
+(file-systems (cons (file-system
+ (device (file-system-label "my-root"))
+ (mount-point "/")

+ (agetty-configuration
+ (extra-options '("-L")) ; no carrier detect
+ (baud-rate "115200")
+ (term "vt100")
+ (tty "ttyS0")))
+%base-services
+@end lisp
+
+The @code{kernel} and @code{bootloader} fields are pointing to packages
+dedicated to this board.
+
+Right below, the @code{pine64-image-type} variable is also defined.
+
+@lisp
+(define pine64-image-type
+ (image-type
+ (name 'pine64-raw)
+ (constructor (cut image-with-os arm64-disk-image <>
+@end lisp
+
+It's using a record we haven't talked about yet, the @code{image-type} record,
+defined this way:
+
+@lisp
+(define-record-type*
+ image-type make-image-type
+ image-type?
+ (name image-type-name) ;symbol
+ (constructorimage-type-constructor)) ; ->
+@end lisp
+
+The main purpose of this record is to associate a name to a procedure
+transforming an @code{operating-system} to an image. To understand why
+it is necessary, let's have a look to the command producing a disk-image
+from an @code{operating-system} configuration file:

Re: converting a distro to guixsd
Hello Kevin! Why yes there is! https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html Note: We recommend the use of this shell installer script. The script automates the download, installation, and initial configuration steps described below. It should be run as the root user. As root, you can thus run this: cd /tmp wget https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/plain/etc/guix-install.sh chmod +x guix-install.sh ./guix-install.sh It is possible to convert say Debian into Guix System. After you install guix the package manager onto debian, then you create for config.scm file, then run as root guix system reconfigure config.scm Please note that this is perhaps not the ideal way to use install guix system, because a majority of debian specific files will still be present. So you will have a mix match of stale unused debian files along side guix specific files. Have you tried the guix system installation? https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/System-Installation.html#System-Installation Thanks, Joshua January 17, 2021 2:23 PM, "kevinbanjo" wrote: > So there's a script to install the guix package manager onto another distro. > > Is there a script, or at least a doc, on how to then convert that distro in > place into GuixSD? > > TIA, > -Kevin

Re: efi dual boot issue
Hello, What kind of hardware do you have? Laptop? Desktop? What processor? That kind of information would be helpful. Also, note that I have never dual booted GNU/Linux and windows. I just use GNU. I think your problem amounts to configuring the bootloader section in config.scm incorrectly. There are two ways to boot up a computer: bios mode or EFI. https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html#Manual-Installation Note: Unsure whether to use EFI- or BIOS-based GRUB? If the directory /sys/firmware/efi exists in the installation image, then you should probably perform an EFI installation, using grub-efi-bootloader. Otherwise you should use the BIOS-based GRUB, known as grub-bootloader. See Bootloader Configuration, for more info on bootloaders. When you boot up the installation image does the director "/sys/firmware/efi" exist? If so, then you are booting via EFI, and you should follow the directions in the manual via EIF installation: namely you need an EFI partition: mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1; And you need to specify this EFI partition in your config.com: (file-system (type "vfat") (mount-point "/boot/sda1") (device "/dev/sda1")) And you need to use the EFI bootloader in config.scm: (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-efi-bootloader) (target "/boot/efi"))) If this is a bios only install, then you need to use the bios bootloader in your config: (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-bootloader) (target "/dev/sda")) Does that help?

Re: How to reconfigure system without downloads I did not order?
There is some code for guix that will allow guix to distribute software updates over IPFS. You are welcome to contribute to that! I believe that there is also some work that will allow people to fetch software updates over GNUnet. Both of these proposals would allow users from all over the world to publish software updates to others, like torrent-ing works.

Re: Can Guix support Zen 2/AMD Ryzen?
I am kind of shooting from the hip here, others may be more knowledgeable than
me, but here is my two cents.
As a general rule, any "brand new hardware" (except server grade hardware and
Intel hardware) generally needs 3-6+ months before it has good Linux support.
So you may run into issues using the latest and greatest thing.
If you want a good GPU, then you might check out this:
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item=Nouveau-K2020-Low-End-Card
It's a $50 graphics card that works with the libre nvidia driver (nouveau). I
think you have to manually set the clock frequency though...All AMD graphics
cards are virtually useless on the Linux libre kernel. AMD has proprietary
firmware, which Linux libre disables. Nvidia is as bad. I think the
integrated graphics from Intel works fairly well with Linux libre.
I've also run into that booting issue. I think there is a way to disable fancy
graphics rendering during the installer, which is what I had to do, to get guix
to run on my AMD APU a few years ago. Maybe someone here can point out how to
do that, because I'm blanking on the specifics.
If you are trying to game on Linux libre, you will probably run into some
issues. :(

Re: Getting Jitsi to work with IceCat
May I ask how you install add-ons with Icecat? Every time I've tried to install an extension, I've gotten a complaint that this plugin is meant for Firefox. Your version is not compatible. Admittedly, I am trying to install Ad-Block Plus...Maybe that is a bit different. And of course perhaps Guix should have a way to install add-ons for Icecat. "guix package -i icecat-ad-block-plus", but that's a topic for another day.

Hello! How do you build the package? c-make? meson? autotools? Guix provides some fairly common build systems. There's a lot of examples of package definitions in the guix source code gnu/packages/ directory.

Re: wpa-supplicant service configuration. Guile is hard
Hello, I don't believe that network manager is the default tool that guix uses... I think I use whatever is the default and it works for me... Does the normal guix not provide you with a working Internet connection? April 5, 2019 5:41 AM, zna...@tutanota.com (mailto:zna...@tutanota.com) wrote: Hello! I have several questions about wpa-supplicant + dhcpcd services. First of all I do not want to use networkmanager and I usually get Internet working manually with this: # cat startnet #!/bin/sh #connect to wi-fi through wpa_supplicant herd stop wpa-supplicant rfkill unblock wifi wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf sleep 2 dhclient -v wlp2s0 #./startnet I configured services wpa-supplicant and dhcpcd in my config.scm (in attach). Guix reconfigures my system normally, start services wpa-supplicant, networking, dhcpv4-daemon. But these services do not give me Internet. `ping gnu.org` says unknow host. The wpa_supplicant.conf is the same as I use. But dhcpcd.conf is that from one forum. I really do not know what to write there. ip of my router is 192.168.1.1 but the other lines are from forum. Please, let me see how configure dhcpcd if usually I used `dhclient -v wlp2s0`. What to type there? Also is it ok my wpa-supplicant-service-type config? And why I have NetworkManager in my /var/log/messages, is networkmanager living in my system? How to push it out?Apr 4, 2019, 8:36 PM by zna...@tutanota.com (mailto:zna...@tutanota.com): Hi! There actually were wpa-supplicant config twice. The necessary one is in the (modify-services) section. I rest only that one. And it works. But the network is not working, cause dhcpd is not configured. I really want to get around "dhcpcd@.service causes slow startup" https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dhcpcd (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dhcpcd) Would you give some advises how to prevent slow booting? How to set timeout on wpa-supplicant service and dhcpcd that they'll start after slim shows me auth form? My actual manual network start is this: # cat startnet #!/bin/sh #connect to wi-fi through wpa_supplicant herd stop wpa-supplicant rfkill unblock wifi wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf sleep 2 dhclient -v wlp2s0 May be I can use dhclient service or something like that instead of dhcpcd? I attached my current workable config, but dhcpcd is commented there. Also I do not know how to write dhcpd.conf for my case? Apr 4, 2019, 7:26 PM by zna...@tutanota.com (mailto:zna...@tutanota.com): Hello! I am so novice in Guile. I have trouble trying to add wpa-supplicant configuration to my config. I get this error: # guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm guix system: error: service 'wpa-supplicant' provided more than once Please, let me know where to place my wpa-config lines?
Re: trackpad and icecat trouble
Hmm, only libinput? Thanks for the tip.
