bug#24684: invalid command-line syntax to herd causes a kernel panic?

2016-10-13 Thread Caleb Ristvedt
I should have read the man page before trying to use multiple commands at once, but somehow it ended up causing a kernel panic? Here's what I ran as root in tty0 (I think that's what it's called, it's the thing I get to by pressing ctrl + alt + f1): herd enable ntpd start ntpd ntpd had been disa

bug#31836: Installing bc downloads ghc

2018-06-14 Thread Caleb Ristvedt
Pretty much what the title says. I tried installing bc and it downloaded ghc, among other things. I was curious how this came to be, so I ran guix graph --type=derivation bc | grep -- '-ghc' (the dash being there to exclude accidental matches of "ghc" showing up in hashes). My understanding is th

2018-06-15 Thread Caleb Ristvedt
I believe so. I think it's just ghc installed, though. Curiously enough, it also went on to download mesa. Probably a similar mechanism at work there. The only mention of hooks I see in the manual, though, is referring to the daemon's build hook used for offloading. From what I see, though, I'd as

On installing ibus and ibus-libpinyin and ensuring the appropriate environment variables were applied, I attempted to run ibus-setup. I went to the "Input Method" section and added the "Chinese - Intelligent Pinyin" method. At that point ibus-setup output this message: dconf-WARNING **: failed to

bug#35644: emacs module support doesn't work

2019-05-08 Thread Caleb Ristvedt
While attempting to package libegit2 (https://github.com/magit/libegit2), I found that any attempt at loading a dynamic module from emacs would seemingly work (it returns t), but not actually work: no module api functions invoked from C seem to have any effect, including defining functions and prin

Suppose that one specifies a custom xorg-server package to use in an record, like so: (xorg-configuration (server xorg-server-for-debugging)) the correct bin/X will be run, but the wrong modules will be specified in xserver.conf - the default xorg-server will always be used for these. This is b
