Gluglug X60 Guix howto

[Alex Sassmannshausen]

Hello,

I received a request for instructions on how to get Guix running as
standalone on the Gluglug X60 — my work is ongoing (I haven't
reconfigured the Grub BIOS, nor have I got wireless working yet), but
a first draft may help other owners.

You can read my experience at http://glean.eu/guix-gluglug.html.

HTH,

Alex

Awesome!  The Gluglug X60 was the laptop I tested the Guix 0.7 release
image on.  I didn't document the process, so I'm glad that you are!

I hope you can get the wireless working! Especially during Guix install...

If you make progress on this, definitely share as this would be enough for me to purchase the Gluglug X60 to experiment with Guix on it.

Nice job!

Do you know what WiFi chipset is included?  If it’s an Atheros thing,
for which we have the free firmware, it shouldn’t be too hard.

I also have a gluglug x60. I'm doing the installation right now.

The wireless card is showing up in iwconfig and lspci (driver ath9k).
Still, I can't connect using it because wpa_supplicant is missing. So it
will wait that the system is finished installing.

Indeed.  I’ve just added wpa-supplicant to the image, so that’ll be
doable on the next release.

Thanks,

I run standalone Guix on my Gluglug X60 with wireless.  All you have to
do is create a wpa_supplicant.conf file containing stanzas like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
network={
        ssid="my network name"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="my network password"
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and then run:

  wpa_supplicant -i wlp2s0 -c /path/to/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
  dhclient wlp2s0

If you have problems connecting to wireless, you can replace the "-B"
with "-d" in the wpa_supplicant command, which will run it in the
foreground with debugging output enabled.

     Regards,
       Mark

Alternately, you should be able to use ‘dhcp-client-service’, which will
pick up all the available network interfaces.

BTW, I’m jealous, because the name of my wifi interface is much less
memorable: wlp0s29u1u2 (probably because it’s an external USB dongle.)
