If you run guix pull as your user and not as root, it installs the programs in your profile. Login as root (sudo -i) and let guix list the installed packages to see roots packages. If so, whatś the best way to delete my packages in root, which don´t need to be there?, so that, if I upgrade in my user account, the packages get updated. $ sudo -i # guix package -r icecat ... If there is an other mistake, I would be glad to know what to do. gottfried Martin

How to do this job in guix system? Hmmm...Could you potentially blacklist the module? https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Bootloader-Configuration.html (https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Bootloader-Configuration.html) The linux-arguments may be a way to blacklist kernel modules.

installing a package not from GNU
Hi, I wanted to install a package "gtkhash" which I could not find in GNU packages. How can I install it? After downloading it and trying to install it, it said: unknown package guix install gtkhash-1.4 guix install: Fehler: gtkhash-1.4: Unbekanntes Paket What to do, if I don´t find a package in GNU and I would like to install it? gottfried
scanner
Hi, After installing a scanner in my profile When opening my document scanner it says: no scanner is found. Please check if your scanner is switched on and attached. If I open the xsane scanning programm it says: no devices available even though I connected my hp printer and scanner and switched it on. My hp device manager even does not open. Can it mean that guix can't deal with a hp printer and scanner in one and guix expects a separate scanner besides a printer (even if I installed hplip)? gottfried
tor bridges in tor service
Hi guix! Is there a way to use tor bridges with tor service? As I know, there is the obfs4 package on debian which used to do this. Found nothing like this in guix packages. Maybe somebody has this issue or even uses tor service with bridges and has an example of config.
Setup a remote pair-programming environment
Dear Guixters, I realised I have not shared my last blog post about Guix with you here. It's about how I used Guix to set up a remote pair-programming environment (mostly to hack with Guile). I mean somewhere I could hack with another person. For example: - I introduced people to Guile and Test Driven Development. - Simon introduced me to Guix contribution through bug fixing ! Our setup was pretty experimental but we were able to pull Guix sources, compile, edit in Emacs, etc. We were using Jitsi to talk to each other. That was fun, really fun (at least for me haha). I enjoy this way to share knowledge, demonstrate, mentor, etc. More than reading or watching content from you all. And I hope some of you will enjoy doing remote pair-programming as much as I did. Here is the link of the blog post: https://tiny.write.as/jeko/how-to-setup-a-remote-pair-programming-environment-with-gnu-guix Here is the like of my repo with my setup: https://framagit.org/Jeko/pair-programming-vm Love you, take care !

How to change the store location
Hi, I'm experimenting with Guix to use it on an HPC cluster. In the docs it is written that the store's *default* location is /gnu/store/ but I can't find how that location ca be changed. Same for /var/guix. As for the 'why', it would matter if Guix was used for sharing software between nodes so that users can find their profile on any node, and using Guix at the same time to manage system software on nodes. That way, the node can (re)start even if the network shares for users are unavailable for some reason. Thank you, J.C. Haessig
Re: installing a package not from GNU

There is no package definition for gtkhash. Guix unfortunately cannot just take any tarball and build it. The good news is that writing a package definition (and optionally adding it to Guix) can be straight forward. This is the build system file: https://github.com/tristanheaven/gtkhash/blob/master/meson.build There we see that it needs a bunch of things (like nettle, blake2, zlib, mbedtls, openssl, etc) for which we should have packages. Packaging it may be a little tricky because of the many dependencies, but it looks doable. We could do this together if you want. Another thing I felt the need to clarify: Guix has thousands of packages that are not GNU packages. I think you meant that there is no package definition for gtkhash in gnu/packages/*.scm, which is correct. -- Ricardo
