Message-ID: <87bl0zenlc.fsf@fastmail.com> (raw)
Hello guix.
Relatively fresh guix, pulled 2 days ago.
--------
$ guix describe
Generation 10 Dec 27 2021 15:36:01 (current)
guix 9e9489f
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: 9e9489fb11ac73e51abe293235738d70365affa9
--------
Installing xpra 4.3 package as described in xorg.scm. Looks like
it pulls a substitute with upstream log at
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/sy4ar80nk2hq32axl4by7bgmns6bcwl0-xpra-4.3
where I don't really see anything pop as suspicious
Attempting to start a session however fails:
--------
$ guix environment --ad-hoc xpra --pure -- xpra start :100
2021-12-29 09:44:20,712 Warning: cannot load cython bencode
module: No module named 'xpra.net.bencode.cython_bencode'
Warning: using '/run/user/1000' as XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
xpra initialization error:
start is not supported by this local installation
--------
I reported this to xpra maintainer first thinking the problem was
there https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/3403 but they confirmed that our build was likely incomplete. As per
above you can already tell that cython_bencode is in fact missing
and indeed I don't see it in the built artefact in the store,
though it is present in the source repo. "start not supported"
above indicates we have bigger issues, as per maintainer we
probably don't have access to the server component. Briefly
grepping for that warning origin, looks like we're likely failing
the supports_server test in xpra/scripts/parsing.py:
if supports_server:
try:
from xpra.x11.bindings.wait_for_x_server import
wait_for_x_server #@UnresolvedImport @UnusedImport
except ImportError:
supports_server = False
I am way out of my depth to debug this on my own, but happy to try
and assist.
I believe the previous build of 4.2.smth worked for me, so must be
something new. Is there an easy way to downgrade this package
without rolling entire guix? Do I use inferior guix for that
somehow?
Happy to follow this up with guix xpra package maintainer if only
I could figure who that courageous soul was.
Thanks
