Nice.

Does Parted provide a way to tell whether a storage device is read-only?
That would be ideal.

Thanks,

Does /etc/guix/signing-key.{pub,sec} exist on both machines?

You can generate it with ‘guix archive’ (info "(guix) Invoking guix
archive").

bug#44985: ANSI sequences in unattended-upgrades.log?

[藍挺瑋]

The commit d613c1771a1986d3c0f1e034155fde41f32f9b8e seems to break tests/guix-
environment.sh test for Guix 1.3.0 on Guile 2.2.7.

The line which causes the test to fail is:

  (when (zero? (modulo (round (* 100. (/ transferred size))) 10))

When Guile 2.2.7 runs this line, it fails with the error:

  Wrong type (expecting exact integer): 2.0

The error comes from the call to 'zero?'.

bug#48959: icecat imcomplete LD_LIBRARY_PATH affecting Kerberos authentication

[Mark H Weaver]

Hi Ignacio,

Thanks for this report.  I've attached a proposed patch that might fix
the problem.  I've verified that the modified IceCat package builds and
runs successfully, but I'm unable to test it properly because I don't
have access to any system that uses Kerberos authentication.

Are you able to test this patch?  One way to do so is to clone the
master branch of our git repository, apply this patch to the Guix git
checkout and build it, and then run that modified copy of Guix (without
installing it) to build icecat.  See sections 16.1 (Building from Git)
and 16.2 (Running Guix Before It Is Installed) of our manual for details
of how to do this.

If you encounter difficulties or have additional questions, please do
not hesitate to ask.

  Regards,
Mark

Hello again,

Earlier, I wrote:

On second thought, it would be sufficient and *much* easier to simply
verify that Kerberos authentication works in IceCat if you launch it
with the following Bash shell command:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(guix build mit-krb5)/lib icecat

Would you like to try it and report back?

 Thanks,
   Mark

bug#48756: guix offload: error: corrupt input while restoring archive from #

[Madhavan Krishnan]

Hello Ludo,

> Does /etc/guix/signing-key.{pub,sec} exist on both machines?

> You can generate it with ‘guix archive’ (info "(guix) Invoking guix
> archive").

Yes, the files are generated by

   #+begin_example
sudo guix archieve --generate-key
   #+end_example
   
  /etc/guix/signing-key.pub
  /etc/guix/signing-key.sec

and send the =signing-key.pub= to the build machine.

#+begin_src shell
sudo guix archieve --authorize< master/build.txt
#+end_src

both ways master <-> build

Kindly let me know If am I missing something here obvious?

Thanks
