If you choose one of the previous configurations in the GRUB menu, does
it boot?

This might be due to a failure to mount the root file system, for
instance due to a missing module in the initrd.  Would be good if you
could check in the running system what modules are used for the root
device.

Once you’ve identified the problem, we must also arrange for the boot
code to provide better error handling.

Applied with minor changes:

  • moved to xdisorg.scm since it’s not part of Xorg proper;

  • changed license to gpl3+ since source file headers have the “or any
later version” wording;

  • ensured there were two spaces after sentences in ‘description’, as
reported by ‘guix lint’.

Thank you!

Sure!  Would you like to submit a patch?  This is in gnu/system.scm.

To do that, all you need to do is to add them to the ‘packages’ field of
the ‘operating-system’ declaration:

  (operating-system
;; ...
(packages (cons* fish zsh %base-packages)))

Re: ccall mechanism in Julia

[Ludovic Courtès]

I think you want to things:

  1. That the libraries that Julia requires are automatically resolved
 to those that were available at build time.  The static map you
 propose is the right thing for that, as Andreas notes.

  2. That any other libraries users may want to load is search for using
 the normal dynamic linker mechanism–essentially LD_LIBRARY_PATH in
 our case.

In Guile, ‘dynamic-link’ is essentially a wrapper around lt_dlopen,
itself a wrapper around dlopen, so LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
are honored (and if libc is configured with ldconfig support, then
/etc/ld*.conf are honored as well.)  This addresses #2.

In Guile applications, such as Guix, we hard-code the absolute path to
libraries that are dlopened, as is the case with libgcrypt in (guix
config) (specifically, see the recipe for Guix in (gnu packages
package-management).)

Yet, Guile knows where to find its own extensions, such as
guile-readline.  For that it has ‘load-extension’, which is sort-of like
‘dynamic-link’ except that it first searches $libdir (roughly.)  That
addresses #1.

HTH!

The “Example” section of the web page can give you a feel of what it’s
like.  Basically, you write a ‘document’ form:

  (document :title [My Stuff]

(chapter :title [Foo]
  (p [This is some text.])))

Then run:

  skribilo -t html -o foo.html foo.skb

And you’re done.

Then there are “customs” that can be set to specify whether to use
separate HTML pages for chapters, what CSS file to use, etc.

Another simple example is the build-aux/list-packages.scm program in the
Guix source tree, which is used to generate

Gluglug X200 hangs on boot after `# guix system reconfigure /etc/sysconfig.scm', right after starting dmd

[白い熊]

I've installed GuixSD on the Gluglug X200 without a problem, using instructions 
for the X60. [1]

Did `# guix pull' and reconfigured the system to enable the wicd service. [2]

However on the Gluglug X200 the system freezes upon reboot with a kernel panic 
if “(wicd-service)” is included in services in sysconfig.scm, same symptoms 
upon boot crash as another user has experienced with the X200. [3]

The current kernel is 3.18.9.

If sysconfig.scm contains: 

(use modules (gnu))
(use-service-modules xorg networking dbus avahi)
(use-package-modules avahi wicd)
...
(services (cons* (slim-service)
 (dbus-service (list wicd))
 (dhcp-client-service)
 (avahi-service)
 %base-services))

the system boots no problem after reconfigure. However wicd can't be started 
even with the dbus-enable hack [4], as the “wicd-service” is logically not 
present, and thus “sudo deco enable wicd” fails with “No service at all 
providing wicd.”

Now when just “(wicd-service)” is added to services, this being the only change 
compared with the above, the system will hang on boot.

There are no error messages on boot up to dmd start. Then it fails with:

I think it mounts root. It seems to me to be associated with the assertion

I found out that I can patch the setup.py file to include the necessary
library dir in its instructions.  Updated patch is below.

Tell me if this should go to a 'snippet' (or patch) in the 'source'
instead (where it would patch setup.py.in).  I'm not sure if the need to
specify the ".libs" subdirectory is Guix-specific or not.

Installing system with packages, sysconfig.scm syntax

[白い熊]

I'm trying to understand the sysconfig.scm syntax to specify when clean 
installing the system or running “guix system reconfigure”. 

In the manual I've seen the example with Emacs. But I don't understand why 
there's: 

(use-modules (gnu)
 (gnu packages emacs)

and then in the operating-system section

(packages (cons emacs %base-packages))

Let's just say I want to reconfigure the system with packages emacs, mc, 
xmodmap, and xterm installed for user joe. What do I put in the sysconfig.scm? 
I've tried many combinations, but can't accomplish this simple task. 

I understand I can install the system with a working sysconfig.scm and then 
install the packages manually via “guix package -i” but I think they all can be 
defined in sysconfig.scm, just can't figure out how, even though I'm trying to 
get hints in the manual. Or am I wrong in this? 

Also, when installing from the USB, after booting the USB, can I “guix pull” 
and then install the system? Or do I have to first install, then boot it, then 
“guix pull”, meaning I couldn't maybe put all package definitions in the 
install sysconfig.scm, as the packages might not be available before “guix 
pull”?

Compared to the paragraph, the list misses ‘license:x11’.

This is the problem: the configuration specifies two services providing
the same symbol, ‘networking.’  This causes a dmd error that is
gracelessly handled, at boot time.

The solution is twofold: first, keep either ‘dhcp-client-service’ or
‘wicd-service’ in the configuration, but not both.  That should solve
the problem.

Second, I’ll improve service handling so that such errors are reported
at configuration time.

dmd should also have improved error handling, though I’m not sure
exactly what it should do here.

Thanks for the detailed report!

The way you did it looks fine to me.

I don’t think so (the package uses libtool, right?)  This may be a
genuine upstream bug, which could go unnoticed when the user happens to
have a librecode.so in the loader’s search path.

I do agree.  I didn't like to put it in the audio module, because it
doesn't really have much in common with the other packages there.  I
would prefer to move it to another module, if not into a module of its
own.

OK, I left the patching in the build phase for now but filed a bug on
GitHub.

>> +(license (list license:gpl2+ license:lgpl2.1+

The reason I had listed both was that some Copyright file from Debian
claims the program is under GPL and the library under LGPL, but looking
through the sources I could see no sensible separation of program and
library source files after all, and no explicit mention of what license
applies to what other than individual GPL or LGPL headers on seemingly
arbitrary .c files, so I set the license to just gpl2+ after all.

Thanks for the review!  Will push along with all the other patches. :-)

Incomplete first draft of my GSoC proposal

[Rohan Prinja]

Hi Guix,

PFA an incomplete first draft of my GSoC proposal for a DHCP client for
Guix and dmd. Please take a look, thank you in advance! I've tried to
conform to the GNU proposal guidelines:
http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/guidelines.html

The draft is incomplete because I've left out only the detailed timeline,
which I can only complete once  the deliverables are finalised :) Right now
I have a rough idea, but I would like your help telling me if the
deliverables I have proposed are too little, or too much, or too vague, as
well as pointing out any other issues with my proposal you can spot.

Thanks again,

Implementing a DHCP client in Guile Scheme

Summary
---

We want to have a DHCP client written in Guile Scheme. Specifically:
1. The implementation will comply with IETF RFC 2131 [1]
2. The client will be bundled as a Guix package [2], which installs a 
command-line program similar to ISC’s dhclient (8) utility. [4,5]
3. The client code should be modular, so that some of its functions can be 
invoked from within GNU dmd’s [6] proposed event loop.
4. The client should be runnable as a dmd service, as described in the dmd 
manual [6]

Country of residence: India
Timezone: IST (GMT +530)
Primary Language: English

Benefits


Currently the only DHCP client implementation in the Guix package list is the 
ISC implementation, which is written in C. The aim of this project is to 
deliver a Guile Scheme implementation of a DHCP client satisfying the 
conditions outlined in the abstract. The motivation for this is that GNU dmd 
should be able to easily call DHCP library functions from its event handlers in 
response to various network events. Since dmd is written in Guile Scheme, we 
want our DHCP library to be written in Guile Scheme as well.

How users benefit: this project is related to dmd gaining an event loop so that 
it can properly handle events - including DHCP events - rather than simply 
waiting for the client. dmd performing faster and better is a win for the user.

How GNU benefits: Guix SD gains an important daemon!

Deliverables


1. A module written in Guile Scheme, implemeting RFC 2131.
2. A command-line program available as a Guix package, which calls the module's 
functions.
3. A dmd service for the DHCP client.
4. (TODO: discuss this with Ludo) Integration of the module with dmd's event 
loop.

High-level plan
---

This project involves writing a library more or less from scratch. So designing 
and discussing the structure of the library with knowledgeable community 
members is a prerequisite. I've tried to keep this task before the actual GSoC 
period, because I want to reserve the GSoC period for writing code, code review 
and committing.

I propose the following high-level timeline:

Pre-GSoC Period (before May 25)
* Environment setup, finish all background reading
* Design client library API
* Design command-line program along the lines of dhclient

GSoC Period (May 25 - Aug 9)
* Write a stubbed DHCP client module which exports skeleton functions (for 
example, a skeleton function might simply print to stdout). This will include:
-> functions for constructing and sending over a network DHCP packets 
compliant with the RFC.
-> functions that handle client logic, like transitioning between states in 
the DHCP client FSM [8].
-> functions for manipulating the local store.
* Write the command-line program and call the module's functions from within it.
* Patch dmd with a bare-bones event loop so that we can test events related to 
the DHCP client process.
* Call the module's functions from within the event loop and ensure that the 
functions are being invoked correctly.
* Fill the stubs! This involves making use of Guile Scheme's networking library 
[7] and referring to the dhclient source [4].
* Re-test the command-line program and the integration with dmd's event loop 
after the stubs are filled in.
* Create and test a dmd service for the client.

Buffer period (Aug 17 - Aug 23)
* If the event loop is implemented in parallel by some other community member, 
merge their implementation with my changes and re-test

In debian it is in xfonts-base, in the subdirectory "misc". We have various
font packages in xorg.scm. I think you are looking for font-misc-misc.

The ‘packages’ field describes packages that will be in the global
profile–i.e., /run/current-system/profile.  These are visible from every
user account.

There’s currently no way to describe how to populate a specific user’s
profile.  It would be hard to integrate with the ‘guix package -i’
approach anyway.

Both should work.  On the USB image, make sure to start the ‘cow-store’
service to avoid storing everything in RAM.

Here’s a couple more.


Linux container support


  GNU Guix currently supports the installation of GuixSD on virtual
  machines and physical hosts through its guix
  system command.  The goal of this project would be to add
  another installation target: containers.  A container is an
  environment that is similar to a virtual machine but without the
  overhead that comes with running a separate kernel and simulating
  hardware.  Containers are isolated on a host system through Linux's
  control groups and kernel namespaces.

Supporting binary package distribution through GNUnet


GNU Guix provides a transparent binary/source deployment model.  A
server can claim: “hey, I have the binary for
/gnu/store/v9zic07iar8w90zcy398r745w78a7lqs-emacs-24.4!”, where the
base32 string uniquely identifies a build process.  If you trust that
server to provide genuine binaries, then you can grab them instead of
building Emacs locally.  This mechanism is called substitution.



The “traditional model” has been to have a build farm build and serve
binary packages over HTTP.  In that model, users trust the build farm to
provide authentic binaries.



The project aims to provide a practical decentralization
distribution mechanism for binary packages, using GNUnet’s networking layers.  In that
model, users would be able to automatically share binaries they have
built locally, and to install binaries built by other users.  This is
part of a broader goal of disintermediation among users,
and between users and upstream software developers.



Deliverables http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-03/msg00192.html";>include
 
a substituter that uses GNUnet as its back-end, and a tool to publish
build results.

I guess it could recurse into the DAG, possibly with

‘cli-extras’ sounds good to me.  Other opinions?

If not, I would welcome a patch that moves things there.  :-)

Thank you, that's the package. 

However, as there's obviously no /usr/share/fonts... dir, how and where should 
I configure, so that X apps will now see the fonts os installed. 

I could probably play with fontdir in xorg.scm manually, but is that the place? 
Will it survive system reconfigures?

Yes, you can use in your sysconfig, then do a reconfigure (and reboot):

  (slim-service #:sessions (list %ratpoison-session-type))

Re: 9x15bold xfont

[宋文武]

Yes, you can modify xorg.scm, and then reconfigure your GuixSD from
the modified sources.
But IMO the xserver.conf in xorg.scm is not in a good shape for customization.

Also you can install the fonts into user's profile, then do:
  xset +fp ~/.guix-profile/share/fonts/X11
