That seems fine.

They can be disabled in files in ~/my-ola, but by default, it will search for every kind of device. The one that I don't know the meaning of is the IPV4Address.cpp:89 error.

I wasn't aware of that, but it would be convenient to enable. https://www.openlighting.org/ola/getting-started/using-ola/#How_to_setup_an_interface To enable it, it needs libmicrohttpd. It looks like guix has a package for that - nice! Thank you, -- John Foerch
