I'm trying to install Plover from source, however tox throws an error about dbus. It's looking for "dbus-1". Is that some thing guix provides? Here's what I have installed for dbus: ahab@pequod ~/Projects/plover$guix package -A | grep dbus cl-dbus     20190408-1.24b452d      out

I'm trying to update stenography.scm to use a later version of plover.  I made a few changes (given below), some appropriate, others not, and ran guix build -K --file=xc.stenography.scm.  It built and runs directly from the store.  Great.  I want to fix the inappropriate changes and create a pro

It works now! In all fairness, it didn't work immediately. Because life is so busy, I had to shut down and on restart (however long after my last message) ran guix pull followed by guix package -u. Running make then compiled without issue. I see that sweet, sweet main window!  Thank you so much

I'm trying to investigate a slow Guix System boot, yet am unsure how to view the logs.  My understanding is that Shepherd handles the boot process.  I can't find information in the manual about where logs are stored or how to view them.  How can I view boot logs?

xkbset or sticky keys

I use sticky modifier keys to help with hand/typing issues.  This means that ctrl, alt, shift etc remain depressed after release similar to how caps lock "sticks" shift on.  This is usually done with xkbset. I don't see xkbset in guix packages.  Am I overlooking it or is there another program r
