This is the end of this experiment with #Guix and #GuixSystem
I really like the ideas behind Guix, and learned a lot by reading its documentation and playing with it. But I will put it back on a shelf for now, because what I need is a system for daily use which gets out of the way. At my […]
First time I have time to play with #Guix and #GuixSystem since the previous post... The spring semester is getting very busy very fast, leaving little time for this experiment.
Today `guix pull` really made the computer break a sweat, big time. This is telling me that, as cool as Guix is, and […]
A bit frustrated with #Guix and #GuixSystem lately... Can't get 'emacs --daemon' to work reliably. I have a shepherd user service that starts and stops cleanly. But 'emacsclient' can never bring up a graphical window despite being run from a graphical session.
But somewhat surprisingly […]
Lately I've had less free time to play with #Guix and #GuixSystem (no longer on vacation), so I haven't written to this thread. Recent progress is like two steps forward, one back. Still progress.
I made my configuration files public here: https://codeberg.org/Guillawme/guix-config
It's a work […]
Configuring #GuixSystem reminds me of configuring #Emacs, and not only because of the lisp parenthesis soup*.
The similarity goes deeper than the configuration syntax. They both make me constantly question whether I should pin down and declare every last bit of configuration explicitly, or […]
So, as I learn more about #Guix and #GuixSystem, I started to read other people's configurations. This is helpful because it puts the snippets from the documentation in context, and it is easier to see the big picture this way.
But some of the configurations I read are much more than […]
I don't remember what state my #GuixSystem was in exactly when I first tried to connect to it by ssh the first time and it didn't work. But After a full update, a reconfigure, and a reboot, it works fine. Still can't seem to get X11 forwarding to function, but I suspect this is a problem on the […]
Enabling Bluetooth in #GuixSystem is so far one of the lowest hanging fruits, with simple power management: each of these features is only one line in the config.scm file and a ‘guix system reconfigure’ away.
Nice to now have wireless options for sound on this computer (speaker, headphones) […]
After going somewhat in circles yesterday, some faster progress today: #GuixSystem can now use the Intel wifi card on this computer. It only took one ‘guix system reconfigure’ this time, possibly because I made sure I didn’t run ‘guix pull’ beforehand (if I understand correctly how #Guix […]
Some more progress configuring my #GuixSystem: yesterday night I manager to add nonguix as a system-wide channel with substitutes. But it took three attempts at ‘guix system reconfigure’ before it completed. The first time I forgot that it wouldn’t use the substitutes unless explicitly told so […]
Progress today: I managed to setup the NUC’s UEFI to boot from removable media by default. This makes it much easier: if the bootable media is in, it boots; no need to press a function key to enter the boot menu.
I also tested that the #GuixSystem installer I made boots correctly on the NUC […]
Found a second-hand Intel-NUC from 2015 with decent specs, barely used. So I jumped on this opportunity to test #Guix and #GuixSystem!
(Tried before in a VM, it works but isn't as exciting. And not ready to change OS on the laptop I use daily.)
Poor little computer broke a sweat upon `guix […]
