Advice Packaging APL Fonts
Hi all, I've been working my way through porting a couple of popular APL and BQN fonts, and now I'm working at packaging up Adrian Smith's APL385 and APL333 font: https://apl385.com/fonts/index.htm My intuition is to package the two fonts separately, though now I'm doubting myself wondering if Adrian Smith counts as a foundry or if the pair of fonts make a 'font family'? OpenBSD packages both together: https://openports.pl/path/fonts/apl-fonts#, though I'm not sure how to make up a Guix package to bundle both seeing as they're under separate download links. I'm feeling fairly confident they should be separate, but I wanted to check just in case.
Guix pull with root user?
Hey, I have a guix system setup and I was wondering if it was necessary to guix pull from times to times with the root user. My understanding was that guix pull with your regular user was enough with sudo guix system reconfigure -- Thomas Ieong

I think so. I have something similar [1] except it also enables the older NT1 protocol---but haven't use the share in a while. Just make sure the /public folder exists and is writable as needed.

How to (actually) get a perfect setup?
Hi! I'm struggling with my Emacs setup for config and (hopefully) package hacking. I'm using Emacs with Geiser Guile on Guix System, and I've tried to add both /run//guile/site/3.0 and (built) ~/src/guix to the %load-path (and they are there). Still, I never get a functional development environment. I.e. I'm not able to load any Guix config file without an error, not able to see any code documentation and I'm not able to follow symbols. Emacs is able to find the files of different imported modules (using M-.), but nothing else. From the Geiser Guile REPL I'm able to call (use-modules (gnu home)), but if I call (home-environment) afterwards, I get an "Unbound variable". guix repl and Guile Studio works, so I guess I should take a look at the Guile Studio package. Also, I'm installing all Emacs packages from ELPA instead of Guix (except for emacs-guix). Maybe that's stupid. So how do you manage to get a "perfect" setup? Is it documented somewhere (not considering "The perfect setup" in the reference manual)? Oh, and this is what the relevant part of my init.el looks like right now: ;; Guile scheme support (use-package geiser :ensure t) (use-package geiser-guile :ensure t :config ;; Guix support (let ((guix-dir "~/src/guix/")) (if (file-directory-p guix-dir) (add-to-list 'geiser-guile-load-path guix-dir Best regards, snikta OpenPGP_0x8CF8982C455FAB05.asc Description: OpenPGP public key OpenPGP_signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: Could not prepare Boot variable
I saw a new blog post that I think is about this issue: https://artemis.sh/2025/02/22/uefi-nvram-defrag.html And some discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43154218 It seems to offer an actual solution to the problem: defragmenting / reallocating the underlying storage. I hope it helps!
