core-updates call for testing

core-updates call for testing

[Marius Bakke]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 776 bytes --]

Hello Guix!

The "core-updates" branch is ready for testing!  According to 'guix
weather', the substitute coverage is slightly better than on "master"
for x86_64.  You can get it by running:

  guix pull --branch=core-updates

Please try upgrading your profiles and systems and file bugs for
anything that does not work for you.  GNOME users in particular are
encouraged to try the new GNOME 3.34 and report any regressions.

If you don't feel like jumping into the deep end, you can pull it to a
temporary location instead of the default ~/.config/guix/current:

  guix pull -p /tmp/core-updates --branch=core-updates
  /tmp/core-updates/bin/guix package -u

That way you don't have to 'guix pull --roll-back' to get at your
previous Guix (from the "master" branch).

Enjoy!

I pulled from core-updates without problems, but "guix upgrade" failed.

First, when running "guix upgrade", I got the following message, which I think is confusing because I use GNU, not Guix on a foreign distro:

    $ guix upgrade
    guile: warning: failed to install locale
    hint: Consider installing the `glibc-utf8-locales' or `glibc-locales' package and defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:

         guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales
         export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"

    See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.

Then, everything was going alright, until building emacs-guix derivation failed:

Then, I decided to remove emacs-guix, and try again to upgrade. This time, one of my packages in a custom channel failed with "no code for (term ansi-color)" (the package definition: https://gitlab.com/sirgazil/guix-channel-x/-/blob/master/sirgazil-x/packages/guile.scm#L13). This is not a new package in my profile, I've been using it for a long time. Since both error seemed to be related to Guile, I removed all Guile-related packages from my profile and tried upgrading again. This time, the upgrade succeeded.

I moved on to reconfiguring the system with "sudo system reconfigure my-gnome-config.scm", which failed with the following error:

Thanks for testing!  I fixed the emacs-guix issue in commit
f568581c2bfb3a7367442c9ccc23613c43f6f1e9 plus some related changes in
962554ddcf86675362486a683acd94863ba68d8a and

I'm not sure what the problem here is.  Can you try adding --fallback to
the upgrade command?

The reason your custom package failed is because it is using guile-2.2,
but the dependencies are built with Guile 3.0.

Changing the native-input to 'guile-3.0' should do the trick.  Otherwise
you can change the dependencies to 'guile2.2-json' and similar.

Thanks for testing!

Thanks Marius and others who have worked on core-updates. It's exciting to 
see these updates nearing completion.

In my testing so far, I've noticed that font-gnu-freefont fails to build:

pdfpc currently fails to build on core-updates. Upgrading to the latest 
pdfpc release fixes the issue.

Patch upgrading pdfpc is at: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/40829

Hi,

I've reconfigured my user profile and system from the core-updates branch. 
I use a GNOME desktop session. However, I don't use too many fancy 
features. I mostly use GNOME-Terminal, GNOME-Web, and Emacs. I also use 
some GNOME shell extensions.

I have not done extensive testing, but so far the desktop itself seems to 
be in working order, including cursory use of the GNOME settings dialog.

I have opened a bug, 40837, for GNOME-Web/epiphany, which is not working 
for me currently.

Best,
Jack

Same here. So far, things are working normally. I see the same bugs I've reported against GNOME 3.32.2. Sadly, the leak reported in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/40116 is still there.

I'll keep testing this weekend.

I can confirm this one (you can't load any page).

By the way, it would be great if someone could review this patch: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/39069, which is supposed to fix bugs like this one: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/40686, which have been around for a long time and make the GNOME experience unsatisfying from day one.

I found something interesting. I've never been able to use the CD/DVD drive since I migrated to the Guix System (see http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35584). With core-updates, the problem remains to some extent. The difference is that if I leave a DVD in, and reboot, Nautilus detects the DVD (https://multimedialib.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/guix-gnome-nautilus-cd-dvd-lectura-2020-04-25-1.png) and I can use it. But once I extract it and put it in again, it is not detected.

In the image in the previous paragraph you can also see a problem in the rendering of the icon in the button to extract the DVD. Several buttons in GNOME applications look like this. I'm wondering if this problem and the GNOME Web app icon rendering problem are related...

Does GNOME-Web work for you? I'm wondering if others can reproduce the 
problem I'm seeing: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/40837

No it doesn't. I actually commented on your bug report saying I can reproduce it, but it seems that the comments mechanism in issues.gnu.org does not work.

Hi all,

Unfortunately, I think I'm current stuck on fixing this bug. Any help of 
ideas would be appreciated.

yes, sorry about that.  There’s a problem with the environment in which
the mailer service runs.  It’s on my list to investigate and fix it.

(The messages aren’t lost.  They are stuck in the queue.)

I reconfigured my Guix System based on core-updates, and afterwards I
was unable to login, either remotely over SSH, or on the Linux console.

After cutting the power to the computer and turning it back on, I was
able to log in.

I've attached my configuration file for your reference.

Just so you know, GNOME 3.34 is working swimmingly for me.  So far I am
a very happy core-updates user.  Thank you very much for all your hard
work!

Great to know, thanks!  Credits to Kei for the GNOME 3.34 upgrade.  :-)

I think the only remaining blocker is fixing the WebKitGTK+ sandbox
issue in Epiphany: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/40837>.

Chris also reported an issue with FlighGear.  Presumably updating to the
latest version would make it work with the newer Boost.  Any takers?

@everyone, please speak up if you find any of your packages failing on
the core-updates branch!  The substitute coverage is currently ~90%,
which is better than on 'master'.
