I've sent a patch doing both 1 and 2 above to guix-patches; you were CC'd on it. Let me know what you think! -- Thanks, Maxim

After setting GUIX_GTK3_IM_MODULE_FILE everything is good. Thank you so much for reminding me about these variables! I wonder if we can do better here to provide a working configuration out of the box. If even the author of the patch to add support for the GUIX_GTK3_IM_MODULE_FILE variable cannot remember setting it then we probably cannot expect users of input methods to figure this out by themselves. Perhaps some desktop service or home service should exist that sets these variables for the user (either in /etc/environment or per session)? -- Ricardo
Using NoiseTorch with Sway and Polkit
Hi Guix,
I am trying to run NoiseTorch on my desktop, which runs swaywm and
pipewire. I added the following configuration to my system:
(setuid-programs
(append
(list
(setuid-program (program (file-append noisetorch "/bin/NoiseTorch"
%setuid-programs))
and rebuilt my system. When I run NoiseTorch from my path (the system),
I get this error:

The GUI will open (unlike the other method), but it will prompt saying
it does not have the "capabilities to function properly", and a button
to grant it the capabilities it needs (requiring root). Clicking the
button will prompt for my password, but entering the correct password
does not work (I have tried dozens of times, I know I'm typing it right)
I found a supposed solution to this for Nix, but this solution yields
the same results for me:

If anyone has any insight that would be greatly appreciated!

Re: ibus + ibus-libpinyin in Gnome
Hi Ricardo, El 18/07/23 a las 21:14, Ricardo Wurmus escribió: Hi Guix, I’m still struggling with ibus + ibus-libpinyin on Gnome. ibus-libpinyin works in the gnome-shell input field, but the input method doesn’t work in any of the applications such as icecat, console, or soffice. Surprisingly, it works for me (I haven't been able to type Japanese for months). I tried in icecat and console. The GTK_IM_MODULE environment variable is set to “ibus”. I export it in the shell and launch “soffice” or “icecat” from there. Hmm, I don't have GTK_IM_MODULE set in my ~/.profile (don't remember why I removed it...). I have these: # GUIX RELATED VARIABLES TO WORK AROUND BUG #35610 # https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35610 # export GUIX_GTK2_IM_MODULE_FILE="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules-gtk2.cache" export GUIX_GTK3_IM_MODULE_FILE="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules-gtk3.cache" # These are needed only to work on Qt apps like TeXmacs. export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus" # Set X input method server (xim) to ibus. export QT_IM_MODULE="ibus" # Set Qt input method module to ibus. ibus and ibus-libpinyin are installed in the system profile as well as the user profile. I previously had installed them only in the user profile, but then added them to the system profile because I want to be sure that any required environment variables are set in all contexts, even when launching applications from the Gnome shell. I install ibus engines in my profile. I tried installing them in the system profile, and that never worked for me. But I haven't tried recently. Do you have any ideas how to best debug this? I could strace the applications and see if any of them mention a failure to talk to ibus, but I’d like to avoid having to sift through all that noisy trace output for massive GTK applications. For what it's worth, I was suggested to run the engine directly when I was having trouble with ibus-stt (https://github.com/PhilippeRo/IBus-Speech-To-Text/discussions/7). So maybe /gnu/store/1s0p8fk1bgp0v2gv5dgjgpq1v4p3nwji-ibus-libpinyin-1.15.2/libexec/ibus-engine-libpinyin --gapplication-replace -g That helped me fix some ibus-stt errors. (And actually, I see an error when running the ibus-anthy engine, which might be why I can't even find the engine listed in input options).
