GNU Guix on iPad2 (A1395)

2022-09-24 Thread Jacob Hrbek
Context: I have this iPad 2 that I got as a gift from a friend who was 
upgrading on the newer version to try to get me to like Apple. I hate it and it 
was in my storage unused for many years so now I am trying to get GNU Guix on 
it with GNOME.

To achieve this I merged the required packages in guix 
(https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57902 and https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57871) and 
thanks to the jailbreaking community i can use Checkm8 
exploit([https://github.com/axi0mX/ipwndfu](https://github.com/axi0mX/ipwndfu[12]))
 to get full write access to the device and unlock the bootloader to boot 
unsigned OS and linux-libre seems to have all required drivers to run on the 
device, see the current progress in 
https://git.dotya.ml/kreyren/kreyren/issues/30

The issue is that i can't get libusbmuxd (the daemon used to communicate with 
iDevices from Linux) to work on GNU Guix likely due to a configuration error in 
guix to perform the exploit and install guix, can someone help? 
https://github.com/libimobiledevice/ideviceinstaller/issues/147

Any relevant info on how to get iPad 2 or other iDevices to work with GNU Guix 
also appreciated.

Hi,

How can people wanting to contribute to the Guix Past Channel send patches or 
participate in packaging?

Should the process be made clearer/easier for new contributors to that channel?

all best,

Not sure what you mean by this. How would you debug `%output` or what are 
suggesting I do with that?

A golden GNU for you

2022-09-24 Thread Development of GNU Guix and the GNU System distribution.
Hi,

When reading about the reopening of Bhutan and its cross-country trail
[1] I came across a lesser-known species of gnu goat that due to its
yellow color could be an appropriate mascot for our beloved Guix.
Sorry this message came late for the ten-year party. [2]

Unlike the African wildebeest that served as the inspiration for the
GNU Project [3] Bhutan's takins—their national animals—also come in a
golden color. [4] The golden variety lives exclusively in a mountain
range in China and is very cute. [5][6]

There are also Sichuan takins [7] that are gold and black, and perhaps
an even better fit!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner

P.S. I looked for a better Guix mailing list for a lighthearted
message but could not find one.
