Who is changing /var/log permissions under my feet?

Hi Guix, on one of my Guix systems the permissons of /var/log are set to: drwx-- 7 root root 4.0K Jan 23 1970 log Is this expected? That would mean a regular user can't see the Guix build logs, right? On another Guix system, however the permissions are set to: drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648

Rollback with efi-bootloader-chain: no such bootloader

Hello Guix, I'm using a Guix system with the efi-bootloader-chain [1]. The chain loads m1n1 (the Asahi Linux boot loader), u-boot and then grub. A system roll-back used to work fine, but it stopped to work a while ago. I'm not sure when that happened, because I rarley needed to roll-back. But no

Hello Guix, I'm trying to run a Cuirass server for my channels. I have setup Cuirass and can build packages in my channels. So far so good. What I would like to do next is to build a manifest with my channel and my modified version of the Guix channel that contains patches that aren't upstreamed

Cuirass instability on aarch64 systems

Hi Guix, I'm running Cuirass for one of my channels on an aarch64 VM on the Hetzner Cloud. When I visit the Cuirass web interface it sometimes serves the page, but most of the time it just serves a blank page. When looking at the logs I see the following error messages: ``` 2024-01-21 14:54:27

How to work on a bootloader in the REPL?

Hi Guix, what is the best way to work on a bootloader in the REPL? Say, I make changes to the grub-efi-bootloader and want to test if it is working. I think I know how to do it with guix system on the command line, but I wonder how I would do this in Scheme in the REPL, to have a faster feedback

t even makes sense to add "aarch64" to that list, but I think it should not fail that catastrophical. I still don't know which symlink was causing this issue, though. That's where I am. Just happy that I survived my first serious Guix crash. :) Thanks for your help so far, Roman Felix Le

Too many levels of symbolic links

Hi Guix, after upgrading my system it becomes unusable. The guix system reconfigure completes, but after that, running any command fails with an "Too many levels of symbolic links" error. Here are some examples: ``` bash: /root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix: /gnu/store/dlivmgf8xikvfi6422dggra77
