Re: freecad 19.1 / flatpak
Hi all,
I had some free time and I decided to spend it on updating the
freecad package to the 0.19.1 version.
I managed it to compile with the changes I add below, but I
prefer someone to test it thoroughly because it's a program
I don't use that much so I don't know if the workbenches are
working as expected, or if the addons work.
Pleas Christophe, could you install try it and see if it works?
This is the diff on the current guix repository, I hope that's
enough to let you use it. If its not, I can make a separate
package for you.
Cheers,
Ekaitz

How to debug failed boot after successful reconfigure?
Hi list. I'm trying to wrap my head around running guix. While question in subj is general it was prompted by a real failure, so really I am interested both in "general approach" as well as solving the actual problem I ran into. having updated with `guix pull` I run `sudo guix system reconfigure config.scm` which succeeds. I reboot and the boot fails attempting to mount the new file-systems I've introduced in that config. This being guix I reboot into older generation. However, now I am unsure how to debug what'd happened. E.g. I would like to: - look at failed dmesg or equivalent log, - look at files that reconfigure produced in /etc, e.g. /etc/fstab IIUC when I boot even from an older generation, the failed one will be marked as "current" (that is the newest reconfigured) but everything in /etc appears to belong to the older generation - hardly surprising. Following link shown by `guix system describe` in my case /var/guix/profiles/system-2-link I don't see e.g. /etc/fstab I'm interested in. Where are those files? So, the questions above (maybe others I should've asked?) amount to my asking, how to debug the failure. My specific case was adding these files-systems to my os declaration: (file-system (mount-point "/mnt/tempb") (device (file-system-label "tempb")) (type "ext4") #;(flags '(no-atime)) (options "defaults,noatime,discard,user") (create-mount-point? #t)) At boot time I got multiple errors from mount unable to figure the options supplied. This in itself is puzzling seeing how I did check /etc/fstab after reconfigure and was able to manually mount as per that generated /etc/fstab without issue. One note is that I think the (create-mount-point? #t) had not been honored, but I did create those mount points manually. Dunno, might be a bug in guix proper. But that's minor.

I think your help is needed :) On the main page of a project, one of the components is "guix Glossary" [0], here I see "Start new translation" button which should add new glossary, I believe.

When Emacs is started with `emacsclient --tty` from a virtual terminal or a terminal emulator `blink-cursor-mode` does not seem to do anything. When I use a graphical Emacs `blink-cursor-mode` does control the cursor blinking.

Thank you for this suggestion.
I added this to services in my system configuration:
```
(service special-files-service-type
`(("/sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink"
"/home/user/no-blink"))
```
The contents of `home/user/no-blink` is "0".
When I run a system reconfiguration I get this error "guix system:
error: symlink: Operation not permitted:
"sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink.new".
Any ideas on how to overcome this error?
The contents of `/sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink` is reset to "1"
every time the computer is turned on and the cursor is blinking. I
would like to get a service working that sets it to "0" so that I do not
need to manually change this setting every time I boot the computer.
Re: How to create a service for contents of arbitrary file
I think this is because you cannot replace a file a /sys like guix tries to.
Instead, it seems you can set a linux kernel argument on the command line run
by grub at startup. According to the internet, that would be
"vt.global_cursor_default=0"
You can set it up in your config by adding a kernel-arguments field to you
operating-system declaration, like this:
(operating-system
(kernel-arguments (cons "vt.global_cursor_default=0"
%default-kernel-argumentt)))
Hope that helps!

That is in fact what dhclient does. There is a list of workarounds on Debian Wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/resolv.conf I use the file attribute one on my Debian system. The ideal solution is to re-implement dhclient in Guile, and make it a configurable alternative to dhcp-client-service-type. That would be a lot of work though. -- Vladimir Sedach Software engineering services in Los Angeles https://oneofus.la
