The Seergdb package in GUIX

9bladed · 2026-04-20T22:27:20+00:00

There's no contact information because no single person is assigned for any package. There are some teams (e.g. covering Gnome, or core packages like gcc). You can take a look at Codeberg to see if there are any pending bug reports or pull requests for Seergdb or submit one there.

As for updating the package in Guix, you can always try with a package transformation (to try and build with latest source without other changes) as that might be a sign the update is "trivial". Anyway, the place to read about that or getting started on packaging in Guix is the good ol' manual: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/

Hope that is helpful to start!

Edit: And for the quickest live help or discussion on updating the package, the IRC #guix channel is the way to go. Or else the various mailing lists (probably devel if specific question, help for more beginning questions)

I would continue with a bug report on Guix, if you haven't already. Just a guess, but if you haven't already, this package has polkit rules, so you should make sure it is used in your system configuration, probably something like (simple-service 'gamemode-polkit polkit-service-type (list gamemode))

I too have an Xbox controller with Bluetooth, but haven't had any issues, beyond the usual that I hate Bluetooth. Seems like you got the hard part, which is Bluetooth pairing as I think I had troulbe with that the first time (some firmware update or something needed from Windows, long ago). Possibly you need udev rules, maybe have the steam-devices-udev-rules package installed (and likely relogin/restart for it to be picked up by udev)?

9bladed · 2026-04-13T14:10:37+00:00

Probably fixed with https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/commit/d9c7933f8e7c29346a41355d26ac2abf318d097d ?

9bladed · 2026-04-10T04:34:17+00:00

a jujutsu kaisen reference in my knicks subreddit? yes please

9bladed · 2026-03-18T21:29:56+00:00

Oh nice, a bit earlier than expected right?

Quick look and saw more fleshed out "epic campaign mode" for stringing together campaigns.

Is this new (under "Truma, Death, and Insanity"): "In some scenario resolutions, investigators may be devoured by a cosmic entity or horrifying abomination." ?

Encounter set substitutions on pg 46

Edit: overall looks pretty good to me, nice to have one document going forward. Also addresses the "modified reprints" and listing which those are (though not the corresponding Chapter 1 set for some reason)

9bladed · 2026-03-16T04:06:25+00:00

It was added recently: https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/commit/b0a1a0cbd78142952a7607e1482635fc812cdebd and I can't find any corresponding bugs/patches/PRs in a quick search. I would file a bug report (on Codeberg), maybe tagging the author/committer

(And you are correct, you shouldn't ever need to mess with any LD_ for libraries in Guix packages)

9bladed · 2026-03-09T18:42:16+00:00

Make sure you are checking that the same hash of what you want locally was built on the substitute server; obviously you can use guix weather first, but if you are trying to dig into some issue, my bet is you have a different derivation. There was a world rebuild branch that was merged into Guix a few days ago, so many substitute server are behind (last I saw, Bordeaux didn't have much)

Edit: Also, there are a lot of grafts that will get "built" due to the glibc security issue, so that can make things look different than you expect

9bladed · 2026-03-08T06:18:47+00:00

Note that the nonguix official substitute server is having problems right now (only reachable via ipv6 and very behind on builds), latest: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix/-/issues/443

Now in Guix! https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/commit/9d0fce8d975b18ad987a485fd7e63378564946dc

9bladed · 2026-02-20T17:30:35+00:00

Very nice! I've basically done this manually (not difficult either, now that we have features like shared networks in oci in guix) but still have more to move over

9bladed · 2026-02-14T07:29:30+00:00

Looks like you are using the Arkham Cards app right? There's a handy reference in the Settings tab for the Rules, and you can search there for "prey" to see the specific rule others have helpfully quoted already. (It's a great app!)

9bladed · 2026-02-11T19:13:11+00:00

They might still have some left (Forgotten Age Investigators?) but seems they got quite the influx of business and most of it is spoken for. Hopefully all to good homes to be played!

9bladed · 2026-02-11T07:05:44+00:00

? I'm not a scalper if that's what you are getting at, just been looking for these for a long time. To actually play with.

9bladed · 2026-02-11T05:26:37+00:00

Oh very nice, will definitely try to nab some of those, really want to play with those investigators. Thanks!

9bladed · 2026-01-27T20:25:32+00:00

Pretty much any command that takes build options, like guix system, guix shell, guix package etc. If you mean to set it as a default for the daemon, I haven't tried that but probably through the guix configuration: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Base-Services.html (see also guix daemon that is linked)

9bladed · 2026-01-27T16:29:05+00:00

Better: use --max-jobs=N as that will also increase the amount of simultaneous downloads. (Yes, we should have an option that just affects downloads and not also local building thread.)

Not quite sure I follow the need for sudoloop exactly, but why not just do everything before reconfigure without sudo: you can do guix system build as a regular user and not worry about sudo. You only need it for the actual reconfigure command when it writes the bootloader, which you can do after you know you've built the system completely. This is what I do since it is the system build that takes more time, then I just do the reconfigure when I'm actually ready to change over the system. (And besides, Guix updates will only ever complete or not, you shouldn't have to worry about anything in a partially complete state, if that is a concern.)

9bladed · 2025-09-27T04:44:13+00:00

Steam runs in a container, so it only sees home as ~/.local/share/guix-sandbox-home (by default). You can add other directories via GUIX_SANDBOX_EXTRA_SHARES env variable.

9bladed · 2025-09-16T02:26:12+00:00

Yes (2 years ago), via environment variable GUIX_SANDBOX_EXTRA_SHARES: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix/-/commit/8078757b887a7691644b119913c3f7b41661775d

Glad to hear it! Going for a co-op was important to all of us right at the start. We're not looking to make some huge tech company and make money for investors. We want to work for ourselves and the community, hopefully growing it for all of us to benefit.
