Re: Building Docker images of GuixSD

Hi Chris, I've run GuixSD in a Docker container and returned to tell the tale! Congratulations! And thanks for exploring all this. > Is this helpful? Is it worth polishing up and maintaining? I'm not > entirely sure, and I'd like to know what you think. I think it is useful, mainly for reas

ATI radeon + modesetting

Hi, I just upgraded my desktop machine for the first time in about 3 months. It has this graphics card from about 5 years ago: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Turks PRO [Radeon HD 7570] After the upgrade, I was experiencing horrible tearing and corr

parallelizing more actions

While rebuilding glibc-final on aarch64 I realized that the 'strip phase took 235 seconds. The relevant code for 'strip from gnu-build-system is in guix/build/gnu-build-system.scm, starting at line 340, with the actual stripping starting at 398. When I changed 'for-each' to 'par-for-each' the time

Emacs minor-mode highlight code stages (gexp & sexp)

Hello Guix, I found Emacs minor-mode for highlighting stages of code and send a request for release a tarball¹, so I could package it properly. Also I made a fork to add a support for G-Expressions and I will wait until close a request¹ before sending a patch. You could try it now: $ git clone

Re: Let's build 'core-updates'!

Heya! I’ve started an evaluation of the “core” subset of packages for ‘core-updates’: https://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/core-updates#tabs-evaluations Let’s see how it goes. Ludo’.

Uninstalling a "unknown" package installs new stuff -> totally unexpected

Hi, TL;DR: Removing packages makes to guix behave *totally* unexpected. guix should at least output some explanation to reduce the confusion. I've build a vm-image using my development environment ("./pre-inst-env guix system vm-image …"). Now within the VM I have - guix 0.13.0-8.357ab93, - kde

Best-practice to "develop" a system-config / service?

Hi, TL;DR: How do I get my in-development version of guix into the VM build with this version? I made KDE Plasma start up in a VM by adding tons of packages to the system declaration (to be on the save side). Now for finishing and providing a nice service declaration I need to strip this list of

Hi Ludo, > IOW, a service that starts a GuixSD VM for another architecture. > > Thoughts? Thanks for this patch ! For now I'm still trying to build a GuixSD image directly on an armhf system. About that, i made some progress, but i'm now stuck on "load-in-linux-vm" part of system generation. Th

EOMA68-A20 preproduction unit for dev work

Hello Guix, There may be an opportunity to get a preproduction EOMA68-A20 unit from lkcl. He'd like them to be used for either hardware or software development. I'm not sure that I have the time or necessary experience to help in that way myself, but I'd like to still support the project and I'd
