The installer script creates links from
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/share/info to
/usr/local/share/info. Is the former directory populated as you would
expect?

This is odd. Do the files exist in
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/share/info? Can you
please show us the output of “ls -la /usr/local/share/info” and “ls -la
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/share/info”?

bug#33996: Icecat is missing fonts
Hi After installing Icecat on guixsd v0.16 and starting it it shows only squares instead of text and pango warns "missing font nimbus ..." I think we should add font-gnu-freefont-ttf to the input of icecat to fix this to make it work out of the box. If on a foreign distribution guix should of course also notice if the correct XDG-env variables are missing when installing icecat and hint. -- Cheers Swedebugia

bug#33911: SWH fallback is never reached due to an uncaught exception
Hi Björn, Good catch! I believe the bug was introduced by 329dabe13bf98b899b907b45565434c5140804f5. I suppose I didn’t see it when hacking on SWH support because I commented out the ‘git-fetch’ call to test the other path.

As I said, "/usr/local/share/info" has the symbolic links. Additionally,
now that you mention it, searching for
"/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/share/info/guix"{,".*"}".info"*
returns the Texinfo files, but not in .GZ format.
That said, they do exist and are readable there. I'll get a foreign
distribution image to test using QEMU and observe the behavior from
there when my other tasks allow me to.

This behavior seems similar to what I experience while using Guix in Trisquel 8.0 Flidas. The problem doesn't cause squares to appear, it actually causes the last text font that fontconfig advertises to IceCat, to be selected. I don't know how fontconfig selects these fonts, but I noticed that you can test this by placing some font in "~/.local/share/fonts" and running `fc-cache -vf'. IceCat should pick that font. You might need to try with different fonts, as IceCat seems to expect from fontconfig that it selects fonts with specific properties. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

bug#33999: CP437: Invalid Argument on init
Hello,
I've installed guix to my desktop. `guix system install` ran successfully
and the system is able to boot. However, a large number of services fail to
start with the error "CP437: Invalid argument". There are 3 groups of
information listed below: a partial list of services which fail (partial
because I can only see the final screen of output; I'm not sure how to see
the beginning of the log when I have no tty's and the startup log doesn't
support scrolling as far as I can tell), a partial list of services that
succeeded in starting, and my operating-system declaration used to create
it.
I verified that the inputs (mount points, fs types, etc) to the
operating-system is accurate. I don't think it's doing anything
particularly interesting. The only abnormal thing is that my root partition
is btrfs, but I get the same behavior on ext.

bug#27206: Fish: figure out a solution for the vendor path extension to fish
Hi, > Fish doesn't pick up stuff like 'fish-guix' from store > without modifications to the path where fish searches > for vendor or sysadmin installed systemwide 'things' > for fish. I found this old thread after submitting patch #34003. I think that patch has probably solved your problem. I submitted patch #34003 to update fish to 3.0.0. In that patch, I enabled fish to add user's and system's profiles to __extra_* variables. So now fish can load completions and functions from user's and system's profiles. $fish_complete_path and $fish_function_path become this on my computer: #+begin_example ~ echo $fish_complete_path | tr ' ' '\n' /home/meiyo/.config/fish/completions /gnu/store/nd3lkiyz144rwvlhvx9adxhngd5xy16f-fish-3.0.0/etc/fish/completions /home/meiyo/.guix-profile/etc/fish/completions /run/current-system/profile/etc/fish/completions /home/meiyo/.guix-profile/share/fish/vendor_completions.d /run/current-system/profile/share/fish/vendor_completions.d /gnu/store/nd3lkiyz144rwvlhvx9adxhngd5xy16f-fish-3.0.0/share/fish/vendor_completions.d /gnu/store/nd3lkiyz144rwvlhvx9adxhngd5xy16f-fish-3.0.0/share/fish/completions /home/meiyo/.local/share/fish/generated_completions ~ echo $fish_function_path | tr ' ' '\n' /home/meiyo/.config/fish/functions /gnu/store/nd3lkiyz144rwvlhvx9adxhngd5xy16f-fish-3.0.0/etc/fish/functions /home/meiyo/.guix-profile/etc/fish/functions /run/current-system/profile/etc/fish/functions /home/meiyo/.guix-profile/share/fish/vendor_functions.d /run/current-system/profile/share/fish/vendor_functions.d /gnu/store/nd3lkiyz144rwvlhvx9adxhngd5xy16f-fish-3.0.0/share/fish/vendor_functions.d /gnu/store/nd3lkiyz144rwvlhvx9adxhngd5xy16f-fish-3.0.0/share/fish/functions #+end_example We can then install fish completions and functions into either user's or system's profile. And fish will happily load them. For example, youtube-dl provides a fish completion: #+begin_example /gnu/store/3sv0ckhpyrxcssrk21s70klw14dz7x1b-youtube-dl-2018.12.17/etc/fish └── completions └── youtube-dl.fish #+end_example After installing youtube-dl into my user profile, youtube-dl command completion works in fish: #+begin_example ~ youtube-dl -- --abort-on-error (Abort downloading of further videos…) --abort-on-unavailable-fragment (Abort downloading wh…) --add-header (Specify a custom HTTP header and its va…) --add-metadata(Write metadata to the video file) …and 159 more rows #+end_example youtube-dl is now in my user profile: #+begin_example /home/meiyo/.guix-profile/etc/fish/ └── completions └── youtube-dl.fish #+end_example > I have many more fish packages in a branch which > I want to get into guix, but they are stuck because > of this. Help welcome, otherwise I'll promise to > fix it one day. You can share your packages with us now! -- Meiyo Peng https://www.pengmeiyu.com/
