Is Guix vulnerable to this polkit CVE?

2021-06-10 Thread jbranso
I just found this article on polkit having a CVE: https://github.blog/2021-06-10-privilege-escalation-polkit-root-on-linux-with-bug/ (https://github.blog/2021-06-10-privilege-escalation-polkit-root-on-linux-with-bug/) It looks pretty nasty... " The vulnerability enables an unprivileged local

There is an Emacs interface in install Guix packages, but at present there is not a working GUI for installing packages with guix. :( I think there may have been a web interface to install packages at some point? maybe? For those interested in creating such a GUI, they might like to look at

I do share Luis' sentiments that perhaps the video should mention that the install commands may take some time to complete, but in the interest of brevity, we can always cut those bits out of the video. Do you know what that means!? I get to learn video editing! SILLY SALTY SALAMANDERS THAT'S

Ahh. Thanks for reminding me! I forgot about those "guix pull warnings". I have a local guix channel. I can disable that for the video. I will also add --max=jobs=1 to the daemon side for the video. I do agree with you that the video is too long, because the XDG mime step takes some time
