Re: RedShift
Ludo, I don’t use Geoclue; instead, I specified my coordinates and I stay home. ;-) Cool! If ‘herd start redshift’ fails, there should be more info in ~/.local/var/log/shepherd.log. Could you check that and share your findings? ``` 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift has been started. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] `RANDR Query Version' returned error -1 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] Initialization of randr failed. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift (PID 832) exited with 1. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Respawning redshift. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift has been started. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] `RANDR Query Version' returned error -1 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] Initialization of randr failed. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift (PID 835) exited with 1. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Respawning redshift. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift has been started. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] `RANDR Query Version' returned error -1 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] Initialization of randr failed. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift (PID 837) exited with 1. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Respawning redshift. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift has been started. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] `RANDR Query Version' returned error -1 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] Initialization of randr failed. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift (PID 839) exited with 1. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Respawning redshift. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift has been started. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] `RANDR Query Version' returned error -1 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] Initialization of randr failed. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift (PID 841) exited with 1. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Respawning redshift. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift has been started. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] `RANDR Query Version' returned error -1 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] Initialization of randr failed. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift (PID 843) exited with 1. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Respawning redshift. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift has been started. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] `RANDR Query Version' returned error -1 2022-11-18 21:52:18 [redshift] Initialization of randr failed. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift (PID 845) exited with 1. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 Service redshift has been disabled. 2022-11-18 21:52:18 (Respawning too fast.) ``` Regards, RG.

Channel as a Package?
Hi, What does it mean for a channel to be a package? For example, we have a channel-build-system which turns a channel into a package. Why was this needed? What purposes did it serve? Why would we want to build Guix instances from channel specifications? all best, jgart
translation programm
Hi Guixers, Is there a translation programm in Guix, you can use for offline translation? So that you don't need an add-on or look for a translation programm on the web and enter there the sentence, you would like to translate Gottfried
Re: ci.guix.gnu.org unreachable
Hi Wojtek, Wojtek Kosior via 写道： Today various Guix commands started showing me substitute: guix substitute: warning: ci.guix.gnu.org: connection failed: No route to host Indeed ci.guix.gnu.org's IP, 141.80.181.40, is not accessible.

Berlin, the server hosting guix.gnu.org, issues.guix.gnu.org, and ci.guix.gnu.org, was down for planned maintenance (not by us). Some nice steps were taken today to keep guix.gnu.org up despite the downtime, for the first time ever. Next time we can add a status update to the home page.

`guix pull --no-substitutes` fails to download linux-libre sources
I usually use Guix on a foreign distro as a normal user. This time,
however, I needed to do one thing as root. The Guix' CI server was
temporarily down, so I thought I'd try with
sudo guix pull --no-substitutes

Re: warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument
Hi, jgart skribis: > guile: warning: failed to install locale This means that data for the locale you chose is cannot be found by the C library used by Guile. Typically, one chooses locale data by setting environment variables such as ‘LC_ALL’ or ‘LANG’. In Guix, locale data is provided separately from the C library (glibc). You can either get it from the ‘glibc-locales’ package, which contains all existing locales, or, on Guix System, you’ll get the locales you asked for under /run/current-system/locale. The manual has more details on setting up locales. HTH! Ludo’.
