Dear guix,

Let’s update gnome-control-center, shall we? However, there are weird
errors. I had to disable the network test, because from what I understand, it
tries to connect to a system bus that is not available. However, running the
new gnome-control-center crashes, and I don’t really understand why. Do you
have any clues?

* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (gnome-control-center): Update to 44.3.
[phase patch-paths]: Upstream already uses
/run/setuid-programs/passwd. Querying the GNOME version is done through dbus
now. Disable the network panel test, because it wants to connect to the system
session.
[phase skip-gtk-update-icon-cache]: The icon cache update should be disabled
differently.
[native-inputs]: Add setxkbmap.

That'd be [#:phases]<patch-paths>: Adjust accordingly.

Content-wise LGTM, will rewrite the commit as noted above and wait for
CI.

Did you manage to run it?

If I do:

./pre-inst-env guix shell gnome-control-center -- gnome-control-center

then it immediately crashes, with output:

10:54:39.2952 cc-firmware-security-panel[31903]: WARNING: system bus
not available: Could not connect: No such file or directory
**
cc-object-storage:ERROR:../gnome-control-center-44.3/shell/cc-object-

44.3/shell/cc-object-storage.c:167:cc_object_storage_add_object:

Abandon

Interestingly, it does not crash on a foreign distro (debian stable).

I found this, maybe relevant:

Indeed, I get the same issue.  Perhaps you can comment out the
firmware-security panel in panels/meson.build and see what happens?  I
don't think it's useful to us anyway.

It’s not that simple. However, debian does a similar job with a patch, so I
applied it. And it does not fix the issue, unfortunately.

Have you tried updating network-manager by chance? :P
Maybe with that you also don't have to drop the test that tests it.
Though just bumping it to 1.44.0 didn't resolve things locally, perhaps
there's another dependency in the chain that I did not consider yet.

Cheers

I can configure the package by disabling the "snap" feature ("-
Dsnap=false") but it does not make a difference either.

Since it runs on a foreign distro, I would like to make sure that it’s
not just a compatibility problem between the system network-manager
service and the client library used by gnome-control-center. However, I
cannot run guix system vm, because qemu is broken at the moment, and I
did not find a way to run a guix system image.

You can probably fake that using dbus-run-session, but again note the
disabled test; I'm not sure you will get a good result.  As for the
qemu thing, maybe that takes priority then? :)

[bug#65879] [PATCH gnome-team v3 0/1] Gnome-control-center passes all tests, but still crashes

[Vivien Kraus via Guix-patches via]

Hi!

I copied the test setup environment from gnome-shell to gnome-control-center,
and now all the tests pass. Debian has a patch to disable the network panel
tests, because it could be slow. I could build it on emulated i686 with no
problem, though.

gnome-control-center still crashes, even if I set up the environment as in
tests. My hypothesis is now that there is an incompatibility between the
networkmanager d-bus service already running and the libnma used to compile
gnome-control-center. It may be possible that a fully upgraded system works
without problem, but I need qemu to test that with guix system vm.

Best regards,

Vivien

* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (gnome-control-center): Update to 44.3.

now. Set up the test environment as gnome-shell, and run tests under
dbus-run-session.

differently.

This can be "[#:phases]<patch-paths>: Adjust accordingly." imho.  For a
lengthier discussion, you can use the pre-ChangeLog blurb, should you
need it.

You can drop the [#:phases] prefix.  Also, adjust accordingly – this
pattern is already well known throughout the rest of gnome and should
probably be put into meson-build-system itself at some point.

Here, just drop the [#:phases] prefix.

I wonder what's this about the firmware security panel :)
The trio is usually 
patch: New file.
packages/module.scm (package): Use it here.
gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Register it here.

Note that you have two blocks for gnome-control-center now.  I think
you should the patch and gnu/local.mk first so that you can have the
rest of the ChangeLog for the "important" changes :)

By the way, there's no need to send a cover letter for a single patch.
Just add your comments below the "---" line.  The biggest issue that
keeps me from pushing this is the reported crash; we should be able to
at least somehow get a working gnome-control-center even if it means
spawning an extra dbus session from a pure shell or something.  If you
can resolve this by testing in qemu, then fine, but until you do, let's
keep this on the wait list :)

Cheers

Hi!

I split the patch in 2, first to add the patch, and then to do the update. Is
it better that way?

> I wonder what's this about the firmware security panel :)

I’m sorry for messing up the commit style. You made the charitable assumption
that there was something more than my negligence here, but unfortunately I’m
just to blame.

I keep the gnome-shell idea in mind too. Anyway, I’ll wait for CI to rebuild
qemu once it is merged.

[bug#65879] [PATCH gnome-team v4 2/2] gnu: gnome-control-center: Update to 44.3.

[Vivien Kraus via Guix-patches via]

Some previous fixes have been merged upstream. The gnome version is now read
from a dbus service, and passwd is already searched in /run/setuid-programs.

In order to let the tests run, we use the same tests environment as
gnome-shell.

* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (gnome-control-center): Update to 44.3. Apply
gnome-control-center-firmware-security.patch.
[#:phases]<patch-paths>: Adjust accordingly.
<skip-gtk-update-icon-cache>: Adjust accordingly.

[bug#65879] [gnome-team 0/1] Update gnome-control-center

[Vivien Kraus via Guix-patches via]

When I symlink /var/run/dbus to /run/dbus, gnome-control-center starts

Best regards,
