Hi I have a problem with the CUPS service.
I put the script

(service cups-service-type
(cups-configuration
(web-interface? #t)
(extensions
(list cups-filters hplip))))

and I have put in the 'use-service-module cups' and 'use-package-module
cups'
I upgrade  my GuixSD with sudo -E guix system reconfigure /etc/config
but it's same.

What is the problem?

Does ‘sudo herd status cups’ tells the service is not started?


What about listening ports and running process?

Does ‘netstat’ response is differ for you?
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ sudo netstat -plunt | grep cups
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      459/cupsd
tcp6       0      0 ::1:631                 :::*                    LISTEN      459/cupsd
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And ‘pgrep’?
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ pgrep -fa cups
459 /gnu/store/4f5309lrqj4y4r0zajbgkja610gxg2z2-cups-2.2.8/sbin/cupsd -f -c /gnu/store/7fwyhl7j4ims62lfysjrzvlr8pb1x67v-cupsd.conf -s /gnu/store/za00ywd2app6a8pw4hrcgwzcy18sgana-cups-files.conf

The snippet look legit.  Could you post your full system ‘config.scm’?

I run a ‘sudo -E guix system reconfigure /etc/config’ command [1] to
reconfigure my system, too.  Did you run ‘guix pull’ before [1] command?

What does ‘guix --version’ tell?


Do logs contain useful information (‘/var/log/messages’ and
‘/var/log/cups/access_log’, ‘/var/log/cups/error_log’ files)?

Thanks,
Oleg.

Yeah I have herd status but I dont find the service cups.
I did guix pull before sudo -E guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

The command guix --version tell that,

This ‘(service cups-service-type …)’ should be inside the ‘(services
(cons* HERE))’.

Then don't forget to reconfigure your GuixSD.

Oleg.

I did that and I have this error,

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

Hello,

No, you had (services …) inside (operating-system …).  E.g. a line 47 in
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl?h=master#n47

The (services) field belongs into (operating-system) like (locale) etc.

Hello,

it looks as if the provided answers solve the problem, so I am closing
this bug. It does not appear to be related to a bug in Guix in the end,
so if you still have problems getting things to work, I would suggest
sending a mail to help-guix@gnu.org .

Thanks,

Andreas
