Re: How to (actually) get a perfect setup?
It was the good old "shit behind the levers". I had a channel.scm in a parent directory and that broke compilation. However, in my defense, the error message was quite cryptic. It looked like there was an error in the module (icm-9 boot). When I switched to guile-next, I got a much better error message with a back trace. That helped me solve the problem. (I'm a guile scheme noob). Anyway, Thanks!

For example, I have package 'foo' defined in ./packages/foo.scm, and I have `(define-module (config) #:use-module (packages foo))` in ./config.scm. When I try to start Geiser, it gives me 'error: foo: unknown package' and the REPL exits.

Idiomatic way to run Emacs 30.1?
Hi, I want to run the latest stable version of Emacs, but I'm not sure how to achieve this on Guix. I've tried: guix shell emacs ---with-version=emacs=30.1 But that doesn't work. Should I create a new package that inherits from emacs and then change version?

Re: Flatpak and GNOME
Have you tried rebooting already? I remember it helping sometimes. If that does not help, check the value of $XDG_DATA_DIRS to be sure that it includes paths to flatpak directories. But when I tried flatpak before, I do not remember configuring that manually in Guix System. There may also be software with similar functionality in guix to what you are trying to use with flatpak, but I am unsure which may suit your needs. I did reboot and it did not fix the issue. The packages are actually available through the nonguix channel, but I felt it's probably is safer to use the more widely adopted package on Flathub. Maybe I'll go for the nonguix packages instead. I also found some Guix packages that extends GNOME. I'll try them and some other out-of-band extensions first. (Sorry if mentioning nonguix is inappropriate.) Thanks!

Flatpak and GNOME
Hi, I'm using Steam and Signal from Flatpak but I don't get them to play well with GNOME. The apps don't show up in the applications menu and they are not visible on the top tool bar. I guess this is probably an easy fix, but I'm not too familiar with neither Flatpak, GNOME nor Guix. I guess one should set some XDG or PATH environment variable. Or maybe even install some system or home service. So how can I make Flatpak apps integrate well with GNOME on Guix? Best regards, Snikta
Re: Flatpak and GNOME
# FLATPAK # Make apps available in GNOME Shell. export XDG_DATA_DIRS="$XDG_DATA_DIRS:$HOME/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share" export XDG_DATA_DIRS="$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share" Worked!

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
