Re: BPF in linux-libre
Thanks Mathieu, I’ll take a look in a few weeks if you can’t figure it out. I’m probably going to take a quick break from bpf for a couple weeks as I have become extremely busy. Thanks for your help. Oh also I discussed issues I was having on the bpftrace irc and they pointed me to this pull request which specifies all the dependencies and their configurations. Maybe we can learn something from it: https://github.com/iovisor/bpftrace/pull/1095 - John

Reinstalling still won't fix the permissions on your ~/.cache/guix/checkouts. But to eradicate Guix and let the script do its thing you should 'sudo rm -rf /var/guix /gnu'.

Re: Repair / reinstall Guix package manager (foreign distro)
There has been some issues with getting the symlinks ~/.guix-profile and ~/.config/guix/current right on a foreign distro for me and some other users, but Im not sure whether this is a Guix problem, or a misunderstanding by the users. A good explanation of guix profiles is here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/561093/what-is-the-difference-between-guix-profile-and-config-guix-current and also make sure to read about the guix pull -p option. After that I think you can fix your problem by fixing the symlinks. Reg reinstall if you wont just fix the symlinks, deleting /gnu/store and /var/guix, along with any profiles such as ~/.guix-profile and ~/.config/guix/ folders I think is enough to begin a reinstall (possibly also /etc/guix/profiles/config.scm or similar if they exist - but not sure). Having a reinstall options or similar for guix-install.sh would be nice, but I dont think it exists (btw. it shouldn't be too hard to check the bash source for this and see if it exists or not).

Very slow download speed of substitutes
Dear all, I am trying guix import from cran, and building some R packages, which sometimes needs to download substitutes. i noticed that the download speed can be ridiculously slow and seems especially during night in HKT.

So is this problem with my guix setting or is it known that ci.guix.gnu.org is slow? This guix is installed on Linux Mint 19.2, and I did "guix pull" yesterday. Regards, Peter
Can Nix and Guix share the same protocols?
Hi, I’m not sure if this is the best mailing list for this question… Do you think it’s possible to create a protocol that Nix and Guix can share? I can see many benefits of abstracting the important protocols out of these systems. Benefits: • Improved documentation • Richer availability of packages • Offers choice according to taste (Vi vs Emacs?) • May lead to services that are offered for both package managers Cheers, Yasu
