Just ran guix pull and guix package -u, and found some of the programs download VERY slowly (<100kb/s, usually around 95). I asked on #guix and lfam mentioned it was probably a cache miss. It would be nice if there was some notification that a cache miss happened and the download will likely be sl

I just wanted to point out that livestreamer seems to be entirely dead and the project has been forked. As of this bugreport, the last change was Febuary 2nd, 2016, and while this isn't exactly a long time, considering it no longer works properly with Twitch.tv (one of, if not the, largest streamin

bug#25278: Possible virus found in icecat-45.5.1

2016-12-26 Thread dian_cecht
Wanted to report a (possible) virus in icecat (45.5.1 for me, but someone on IRC was using 45.3.0 with at least one identical checksum of one of the related files). I'm not sure if this is a false positive, but I though it better to report it than to ignore it. Better to draw attention to a nonissu

Part of the reason for filing the bugreport was so that this case could be handled more elegantly instead of bugging out and dropping a user in the REPL. Unless one is a dev, the REPL might as well be a kernel panic, only without the (pote

I've recently created a VM using guix system vm-image using $ guix system vm-image --image-size=16G ~/doc/vimwiki/liveusb-guix-sys-conf.wiki (I will attach the conf file later on). After copying the image to $HOME and changing perms to 0600, I tried running it using: history | grep qemu-system
