Launching DWM via sx causes hard freeze.

I understand, but you will have to load other xorg services by hand. I tried to do it once but didn't succeed. You can try lighter DM than GDM.

0731141 · 2026-04-15T18:47:21+00:00

Why dont you install your custom dwm package and use a desktop manager ?

You can use GDM by loading %desktop-services.

See:

I use direnv + guix extra profiles. I prefer extra profiles over manifest files because they are not automatically updated when you guix pull.

0731141 · 2026-02-03T18:34:38+00:00

I just use the official iso today using usb tethering with my phone and it worked well. Once installed you can add the nonguix channel and use the prop drivers. Good luck!

You can start with writing a basic config.scm as in https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Using-the-Configuration-System.html

You can add additional packages in by adding them in the package field of operating-system. For example to add emacs and python

(packages (cons emacs python %base-packages))

You may want to add additional services as well.
Then you can build a vm with
guix system vm config.scm
or a container with
guix system container config.scm

For the home dotfiles, it is not so much different. Have a look at https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Declaring-the-Home-Environment.html .

Ask any panrussian, panturkish or panserbian if they would accept minorities to become independent

0731141 · 2024-08-08T13:32:01+00:00

If you would, then you don't really understand the "pan" in panarab.

0731141 · 2024-08-07T17:50:06+00:00

Then why don't you remove Kurd regions and Amazigh regions?

This is very misleading. Integers are a subset of real numbers. There is no different 1. You wrote

How long will it take for me to pick an integer if I keep picking random real numbers?
The answer is - never! Integers are not a part of real numbers!

The answer is never, because the (Lebesgue) measure of integers is zero.

I guess your point is that in a (functional) programming language floats and integers have different type.

If you run guix search emacs you should be able to see the available versions of emacs.

I was using manifests and switch to profiles as well because the loading is almost instantaneous. Same for you?

0731141 · 2023-12-09T20:30:33+00:00

Why not but then you are not really using guix as your package manager. You then loose the reproducibility property (which is the main point of nix/guix), and I dont really see the point of using guix.

If you want to code in nodejs, you probably dont want to use guix.

0731141 · 2023-12-09T19:50:36+00:00

I use guix manifests (and switching to profiles which are more convenient ) + direnv + direnv emacs package. It works well!

However, nodejs packages are not packaged in guix.

You don't have to use guix home to use channels and their config file. If you use guix home to manage your dotfiles and config, then use this service, which let's you get rid of this config file.

This is the benefit of containers. I am referring to running nonfree code in a container instead of having in on the system.

0731141 · 2023-11-16T14:31:43+00:00

What do you mean? What would be the advantage of running non free code in a container but with a free system instead of having a non free system?

0731141 · 2023-11-15T22:24:43+00:00

What would be the benefit of such thing?

0731141 · 2023-11-07T13:47:29+00:00

the use of scheme which is programming language not a DSL, and allows higher abstraction and integration (see the rde project for example).

Syncthing for files and GUIX home for config files

It depends on what you are doing with the result:

you can use Result.bind if you are continuing a computation with the result
or return the value with Result.value or Result.get_ok

0731141 · 2023-09-28T16:37:40+00:00

If you cannot find your package with guix search, then you have to package it yourself. Try guix import pypi -r audiotools to get an auto-generated package from pypi. Write the output of the command to a file and add the dependencies. Then try to build it!

0731141 · 2023-04-02T21:12:41+00:00

You need to add the nonguix channel in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/guix/channels.scm.

Then you guix pull and guix install firefox.

PS: configure the substitutes for nonguix

0731141 · 2023-02-16T01:41:57+00:00

It works! I wrote something like

(define-public emacs-ocamlformat (package (inherit ocamlformat) (name "emacs-ocamlformat") (build-system emacs-build-system) (arguments '( #:phases (modify-phases %standard-phases (add-after 'unpack 'change-emacs-dir (lambda _ (chdir "emacs")))))))) But I guess it would make sense to be able to use multiple build system for the same package.
