Re: The way to promote GUIX package manager
This is a comment from a very different angle - another way to promote Guix is in the emerging (so I would like to believe ) worker cooperatives sector - there is a call for democratically directed software development (not in the do-o-cracy way that happens due to information asymmetry between "producers" and "consumers") GNU Guix can offer maximum transparency and user friendliness -Yasu > On Jan 28, 2022, at 08:36, Bengt Richter wrote: > > On +2022-01-26 23:42:05 +0100, Ricardo Wurmus wrote: >> >> Yasuaki Kudo writes: >> >>> Does Guix really run out of the box in Debian? >>> >>> I have never tried it but my friend Debian expert friend keeps telling me >>> that: >>> >>> * Just apt-get installing Guix doesn't work >> >> How does “apt install guix” not work?

Now the exact dconf paths for those files might not be the right ones to use for Guix. There's two things you could try: 1. As GDM user, simply force these values to 0 by manually invoking dconf (this is stateful) 2. Patch the gdm package to include a share/gdm/dconf/your-filename- here.conf, which sets those values to 0. To put this package back into the gdm-service-type, use the gdm field. Cheers

Hello Attila, Attila Lendvai writes: > does anyone know how to turn off GDM's (or elogind's?) auto suspend on > a recent Guix? Have you maybe seen [1]? And you've probably come across [2] too. I kept them as bookmarks to pull out in the future. The first seems to explain it well enough to disable it in Debian. I've never tested it myself though, but think it is the most promising approach to look into. I looked into the service definition of gdm, but gave up half way, and am on to other services now.

disable suspend without user login
dear list, does anyone know how to turn off GDM's (or elogind's?) auto suspend on a recent Guix? the net is full of hits, but i couldn't get any of them to work. the Gnome issue tracking this is at: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/22 -- • attila lendvai • PGP: 963F 5D5F 45C7 DFCD 0A39 -- “There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way, and not starting.” — Siddhartha Gutama, aka Buddha (c. 5th century BC)
