Re: python-minimal built too often

[Clément Lassieur]

Sorry I sent the email too early.

My small GuixSD machine builds python-minimal after a reconfigure that
only changes an nginx configuration.

What I did is:

guix pull (building python-minimal)
guix reconfigure config.scm
small nginx config change in config.scm
guix reconfigure config.scm (building python-minimal, again)

It takes a long time for my machine to build python-minimal, so it's
pretty annoying.  Is it a bug?  A configuration error?  Any idea how I
could fix it?

Thanks,
Clément

python-minimal built too often

[Clément Lassieur]

Hi,

My small GuixSD machine builds python-minimal after a reconfigure that
only changes an nginx

`scm` file parsing(read/write/modify)

[Hamzeh Nasajpour]

Hi,
I have a configuration file that written based on `scm` file like as `guixSD` 
config.scm file.
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/User-Accounts.html#User-Accounts


I want to read/write/modify this config file in python or C/C++.
Do you know any `scm` file parsing  or any other solution for my needed? In 
fact I want to add/remove/modify parameters of this config file.

Regards,
Hamzeh

Re: How long to install icecat?

[znavko]

Hi! Icecat with Rust may have long time installing. In my PC Intel 2.16GHZ - 
even for 1 day.

Swap: I configured swap with this line under (operating-system):

(operating-system

  (swap-devices '("/dev/sda2"))
...
)

You need to part your disk and also mkswap, swapon  on the /dev/sda2 or 
another. Look at manual 6.1.4.3 Disk Partitioning

Re: Problem with Tor & IceCat

[znavko]

Yes, Tor plugin in Icecat 63 not works properly. I reported it to a developer 
through his website.

There is one important thing that Tor plugin breaks. If you look at 
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Tor#Firefox 
 there are lines you should configure 
in about:config page in Icecat
network.proxy.socks_remote_dnstruenetwork.dns.disablePrefetch   
truenetwork.dns.disableIPv6   true
So plugin resets  'network.proxy.socks_remote_dns' to 'false' every time it 
runs and every time you start Icecat having tor plugin is activated. And this 
is why ISP performs dns requests.

Thank you. It's finished while I'm going out.

I found my guix system has no swap. I think swap setting is necessary in
file-systems configuration.

That's concerning to me: it seems to imply that DNS requests are _not_
being proxied through Tor, which could leak very sensitive information
to your ISP and other parties.

I use FoxyProxy Standard[0] (just by habit over the many years I've used
Tor with Firefox), so I hadn't tried the Addon distributed with
Icecat.  FoxyProxy has an option to proxy DNS requests through Tor (and
does so by default IIRC).

You can configure the bluetooth service in your system's config to
automatically power up the bluetooth controller.  The Guix info manual
says:

 -- Scheme Procedure: bluetooth-service [#:bluez BLUEZ]
  [#:auto-enable? #f]
 Return a service that runs the ‘bluetoothd’ daemon, which manages
 all the Bluetooth devices and provides a number of D-Bus
 interfaces.  When AUTO-ENABLE? is true, the bluetooth controller is
 powered automatically at boot, which can be useful when using a
 bluetooth keyboard or mouse.


Here's what it looks like in mine:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
  (services
   (cons*
[...]
(bluetooth-service #:auto-enable? #t)
[...]
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

In your user-account record you'll also want to add "lp" in the list of
supplementary groups, so that your unprivileged user has access to your
bluetooth device:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(user-account
[...]
 (supplementary-groups
   '("lp"   ;for bluetooth
   [...])))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

HTH,

Maxim

The section "(guix) Networking Services" in the Guix manual describes
how to create a Tor service:

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Networking-Services.html#index-tor_002dservice_002dtype

For example, here is how you would define a Tor service that uses a UNIX
domain socket:

  (service tor-service-type
   (tor-configuration
 (socks-socket-type 'unix)))

For details on how to configure Firefox or IceCat to use it, see:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-07/msg00082.html

You might also want to read Devan's thoughtful message here, in which he
reminds us that the safest option is to use Tor Browser:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-07/msg00075.html

I hope that helps!

This sort of problem has occurred for others.  See, for example, this

Perhaps you accidentally ran a command as root which changed ownership
of a symlink from "brad" to "root".  It's possible to do that
accidentally because the "sudo" program is configured to behave
differently on different systems, so it may require slightly different
options than the examples you see from others or in the manual.

What are the outputs of these commands?

  sudo -E env | grep HOME

and

  sudo -HE env | grep HOME

Now, when you start icecat, you may have to click on the tor plugin to
activate it, but it normally autostarts for me.

Also, at least for me, that doesn't configure my browser to access tor
hidden services.  But it does run all of your http traffic through the
tor network, which is pretty cool.

Interesting idea!  But AFAICT it is impossible: Emacs-Guix needs to run
Geiser in one way or another, but if you try:

  (setq geiser-guile-binary '("guix" "repl"))
  "M-x geiser"

it will fail because geiser tries to run it with "-q" and "-L" (with a
directory with Geiser Guile modules).  Obviously these options are not
supported by "guix repl".  Above that, Emacs-Guix uses "--listen"
option.

So I'm afraid as long as "guix repl" options are incompatible with
"guile" ones, it can't be used by Emacs-Guix.

How long does it typically take before substitutes are available 
after

pulling from master?  Or is there a way to see (from ci.guix.info?)
which revision I should pull in order to have a maximum of 
substitutes

available?


Are you on 32 or 64 bit?
Paste "uname -a"


Hi,

I'm on GuixSD, 64-bit.  guix --version tells me I'm on revision 
afbf9763faf231c27ef25315d4d24379e1762568 (I last pulled on Jan 1).  
Guix weather reports 85.2% substitutes available, but then when I run 
'guix package' with that manifest, I find myself building 
(bootstrap?) binutils, glib, and multiple versions of gcc.  It 
doesn't even seem to look for substitutes (?):


$ guix package --manifest=config/manifest.scm
installing new manifest from 'config/manifest.scm' with 62 entries

[...]

Strangely, I *do* get substitutes when I specify 
--substitute-urls=https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org.


What substitute server is currently recommended?  Or what could be 
wrong with my setup that I'm not finding these substitutes 
automatically?

Bluetooth Device Compatible With LinuxLibre

[znavko]

Hello! I want to choose usb bluetooth adapter to connect laptop with bluetooth 
headphones.
Using 'GNU with Linux-Libre 4.20 (beta)' on Lenovo G50-30 and this list of 
devices I cannot use bluetooth, cause Atheros (wifi adapter with bluetooth all 
in one) has no free drivers in the kernel.

PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)


It is hard to find which of devices from here 
https://h-node.org/bluetooth/catalogue/en 
  really exist in electronic 
web-shop I use, but I've found this one:
'Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd Orico Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter 
(BTA-402-BK)CSR85108ware BD-400'
https://h-node.org/bluetooth/catalogue/en/1/1/Cambridge-Silicon-Radio-Ltd/undef/yes/USB/bluetooth-works/undef
 


In the web-shop there is exactly this 'Bluetooth adapter ORICO BTA-408-BK 
v.4.0'. 
408 instead of 402 as in h-node. 

Can I hope driver will work nice for 408? Is there anywhere this device driver 
readme to figure out which devices it supports?

Linux-Libre-4.20 has also Texas Instruments, Nokia, Mediatek, Qualcomm, 
Broadcom devices
$ find linux-4.20/Documentation -name '*bluet*'
./devicetree/bindings/net/broadcom-bluetooth.txt
./devicetree/bindings/net/qualcomm-bluetooth.txt
./devicetree/bindings/net/ti-bluetooth.txt
./devicetree/bindings/net/nokia-bluetooth.txt
./devicetree/bindings/net/mediatek-bluetooth.txt
./devicetree/bindings/net/bluetooth.txt

But these vendors are not presented in h-node. 

How to choose usb bluetooth adapter which will work exactly?

This would be easier if we could look at the tarball in question.

This won’t work on a Guix system, because it does not generally consult
files in /etc.  Most system configuration files are generated when
running “guix system init” (or “guix system reconfigure”) using the
information provided in the system configuration file.

This is generally not recommend, because you’ll end up with an older
Guix than the one you installed it with.  To ensure that the correct
Guix is used, please make sure that ~/.config/guix/current/bin appears
first in PATH.
