Trouble configuring guix

Hello there! Well, I need help... ## Context: * I have just a little familiarity with Guile Scheme, because I'm a LilyPond user; * I finally have a desktop that doesn't need non-libre drivers; * Although I'm not in the Tech world, I love GNU's (and the FSF's) philosophy; * I have

Re: Trouble configuring guix

Hi again, and thank you all! Problem solved ─ Julien, you had it right: although I find it weird to have `(xorg-configuration (xorg-configuration ... ))`, this is what works! But I guess it is just like `(keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout ... ))`... Best regards, Cássio -- - Faculdade de Let

help with network configuration

Hello there! I'm having trouble setting up `connman`. This is my services declaration: ``` (services (append (list (service wpa-supplicant-service-type) (service connman-service-type (connman-configuration (disable-vpn? #t)))

Re: help with network configuration

Well, it's working now. I just removed the `connman-configuration` declaration and everything worked. I still don't understand why that was a problem, though -- all of it seems a little weird to me. I found nothing on the internet about this error that I was getting. Anyway, problem solved. Thanks

Can't open a container-shell

I have created a profile from the attached `manifest.scm`, meant to be used in a container shell, so as to isolate activity X from the everything else. After everything was setup, I tried to initiate the shell with this command: guix shell -c 4 -M 6 --no-cwd --pure --container --network \

Packaging existing software for Guix

Hi there! I've been struggling with Guix for about three months now, but I still couldn't get it working as I need it. I will need help on many fronts. One of the problems is that the Guix ecosystem is still somewhat limited. I know that there is a way to install Nix packages, but since I became f

Re: Packaging existing software for Guix

Thanks. I followed the paths and found the corresponding modules, and I think I get it: it's just a way not to hard-code the root of where the `mes` code lies. But then, it seems to me that @Vagrant Cascadian is not correct when he suggests that this code enables the build system to checkout the

Re: Packaging existing software for Guix

Hi, and thanks for your patient guidance, Ricardo! So . . . My progress I'm trying to follow your (and @Vagrant Cascadian 's) suggestions, looking into the ` guix.git/gnu/packages/*` files for examples of package definitions, reading the devel

Packaging baby-steps

Hello! I'm new to Guix, and I chose to use it for the principles of it (linux-libre and such), but against a better judgement of my technical incompetence. So. A lot of things I was used to in more mainstream distros are not packaged here and, after reading the manual and learning about how I cou

Re: guix pull; guix package -u; sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

If your window manager is only in your profile, then it won't be available for the display manager's login. Is there a workaround for that? Cássio - Faculdade de Letras - UFG *“* *Ou a gente se Raôni, ou a gente se Sting**”* On Fri, Apr 8, 2022 at 2:40 AM raingloom wrote: > On Thu, 7 Apr 2
