Hello Nicolas,
As for your original question 'how can that even happen?', it's quite
common for this to happen if disk is not unmounted cleanly, especially
right after reconfigure. It's actually quite easy to 'reproduce' this is
a VM by issuing reconfigure and then forcefully shutting it down. S

This is a bit of a sore point for many (and what I'm about to write is
also disputed) so I'll try to keep it short:

Can confirm, I've had this twice in the last 3 months. And I did all the
usual btrfs/smartctl checks both times, so it doesn't seem to be a

It does. I also use "su -" but never root's Guix, which is different
from that of the other users, because I reconfigure with "guix deploy."
Kind regards

Emacs
Emacs 30.1 is available on "emacs-team" branch, so, the best way is probably to
wait until it's merged. You could also use package inferiors to add it, but I'm
not sure if that is a good idea.

Hi,
1.
it is impossible to change the password in my Samba new user account: gast
I even tried it in the new user account: gast
In MATE it said: could not find file
In KDE it said nothing, no error shown.
So what is exactly the wording?
sudo smbpasswd -a gast
than enter the new password?
2.
no

Anecdotally, empty store files happen a surprising lot.
Hi!
When I'm trying to open a program from Thunar (like opening a pdf)
nothing happens and in logs I get: libgvfscommon.so: undefined symbol:
g_once_init_enter_pointer
Opening programs from whiskermenu or terminal works as a workaround.
Here are some links from the net about the issue:

Are you using a package manifest? If not, that may be an option.

Hi Arne,
thanks for the advice.
I used a manifest until a month ago.

Atleast that is what I did on VM
You also should not need to login to the guest account. Failing to
login should automatically use the gast user account as the user
connected.
Setting is controlled via `ma

Hi,
I want to run the latest stable version of Emacs, but I'm not sure how
to achieve this on Guix.
I've tried: guix shell emacs ---with-version=emacs=30.1
But that doesn't work.
Should I create a new package that inherits from emacs and then change
version?

Snikta
