Build guix from source

guix environment guix
cd ~/guix
./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var --with-libgcrypt-prefix=$(guix build libgcrypt | head -1) && make -j2

Remove the horrible beep

One of the first thing to do if you don’t want to turn deaf when it occurs while you are wearing headphones

rmmod pcspkr

keyboard layout

Run the Makefile with

make

or add this to config.scm

(services (cons* (console-keymap-service "fr")
                 %desktop-services))

and add this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

Section  "InputClass"
          Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
          MatchIsKeyboard "on"
          MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
          Driver "evdev"

          # Keyboard layouts
          Option "XkbLayout" "fr"

system reconfigure

Bad old method

sudo rm /home/yenda/.config/guix/latest
sudo ln -s ~/guix /root/.config/guix/latest
sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
sudo rm /root/.config/guix/latest
ln -s ~/guix ~/.config/guix/latest

yenda@project2501 ~ [env]$ sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm guix system: error: failed to load ‘/etc/config.scm’: /etc/config.scm:6:0: In procedure #<procedure 49c94c0 ()>: /etc/config.scm:6:0: In procedure module-lookup: Unbound variable: linux-custom

The good way

The first time:

ln -s ~/guix ~/.config/guix/latest

Then:

sudo -E guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

sudo -E: preserve-env

build packages

To keep the failed build in /tmp

guix build -K

The failed build directory will be in /tmp/nix-build-*

Spawn a shell

env -i $(which bash)
source environment-variables

You might need to use chown to change the owner of the folder

It is not quite the same as the build environment, since it is not in a chroot and not isolated from the network, but still often useful

stuff

Kernel panic

Difficult start. I ended up with a

Network configuration

I ran ifconfig which of course returned nothing because I forgot -all flag.

ifconfig -all

This returns the list of the network interface available on the computer. Since my computer both has ethernet and wifi connection I opt for the ethernet one to avoid driver complications.

Running dhclient to configure it

dhclient enp5s0

Build of system.drv failed

guix pull

failed to download

I realized packages were not being downloaded because my network card was not activated

ifconfig enp5s0 up dhclient enp5s0

I still get the following error running guix system init : “guix substitute: warning: failed to look up host ‘hydra.gnu.org’ (name or service not known), substituter disabled” “guix system: error: build failed: unexpected EOF reading a line”.

guix pull

In ./gnu/nuilf/linux-boot.scm: 403:35 1 (#<procedure 2b272a0 at ./gnu/build/linux-boot.scm:369:3[square]>) In unknown file: 0 (scm-error misc-error #f “~A ~S” (“failed to resolv[square]” [square]) [square])

I used find / -name “hydra.gnu.org.pub” to find hydra public key

guix archive –authorize < key.pub

guix pull

guix system init configfile mnt

reboot

connect with root change user password

mkdir home/yenda cp /etc/skel.* home/yenda

passwd passwd yenda

Use a new font

Some programs (like emacs for instance) require you to run this command so they can see the new install font and use it:

fc-cache -f

Fix the font-cache

<mark_weaver> I actually think the proper way would be to move the font cache into the profile, and then generate the font cache as part of profile generation <mark_weaver> we do something similar with the gtk-icon-cache

Fix the timezone when hardware clock is wrong

Try this command :

date -u

If the timezone is your local timezone, this is wrong, it means your hardware is using your timezone, and the software is applying the timezone correction a second time.

To fix this do :

guix package -i ntp
sudo ntpd -qg -c /gnu/store/path-to-ntpd-conf(; sudo hwclock --systohc
guix package -r ntp

This will install the ntp package, fix the hardware timezone, and uninstall the ntp package afterward.
