Issues with my configuration

Issues with my configuration

[Fredrik Salomonsson]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3378 bytes --]

Hello Guix!

I've been eyeing GuixSD for awhile now. I've been tempted on installing on
my laptop (lenovo x220) but didn't want to mess something up. Then
beginning of this summer I bought an used x220 since I also wanted to try
out coreboot and again didn't want to mess with my main laptop, i.e.
bricking it.Got that running and I now had an extra laptop which I could do
whatever I want with. Which is a perfect opportunity try out GuixSD!

Noticed pretty quickly that having coreboot compiled without VGA support
wasn't the best idea. Without that the Grub menu didn't show at the
beginning which made it impossible to roll back when I borked the
configuration. Instead I needed to reinstall guixsd to get to a working
state. So I recompiled coreboot with VGA support and I could now select
what generation to boot.

After that I've been trying to set up GuixSD to mimic what I have on my
Arch install. I gotten to a working state but I hit some road blocks that I
can't figure out.

1)  Mounting a nfs disk.
I tried adding the nfs mount to file-systems.

> (file-system
>    (device "fafner:/srv/nfs4/Valhalla")
>    (title 'device)
>    (mount-point "/media/Valhalla")
>    (type "nfs4")
>    (check? #f))

It works after I reconfigure guix

> sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

But when I reboot, guixsd will not start it just hangs in the boot process.
Looks like a lot of services are failing.

2) Change shell for user to zsh.
I followed https://gitlab.com/rain1/guix-wiki/wikis/FAQ on how to change
shell to zsh but getting this error when reconfiguring:

> guix system: error: failed to load '/etc/config.scm':
> ice-9/boot-9.scm:2795:6: In procedure resolve-interface:
> ice-9/boot-9.scm:2795:6: no code for module (gnu packages zsh)

I can install zsh using guix package -i zsh and start it manually.

3) Keyboard mapping.
On my Arch install I have this

> #/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf

Section "InputClass"
> Identifier "system-keyboard"
> MatchIsKeyboard "on"
> Option "XkbLayout" "us,se"
> Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps,grp:sclk_toggle,grp_led:scroll,:2"
> EndSection

Which does two things; remap caps to ctrl - reduces stress on my pinky when
working in emacs.
Let me toggle between Swedish and US keyboard layout with scroll lock, US
is by far easier to code and navigate the terminal with than Swedish.
The question is how do I translate this to GuixSD? Closest I could find in
the manual was about the X window, but didn't find anything that directly
matches what I want. And my search in the mail archive turned up empty.

4) /bin/env
In the manual, under Base Services
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Base-Services> it
describes how to add env to /bin. I tried adding that snippet to my
services but I don't see env in /bin after I reconfigure.

I've also noticed some odd issues with my keyboards that are running the qmk
firmware <https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware>. I've setup that my space
have a dual action, it's register as space when pressing and ctrl when
holding the key. But when using them in GuixSD it results in a 1s delay
every time I press space. Which gives a very sluggish impression when
typing in the terminal. It works fine if I disable that feature. I have not
experienced that issue in any other distro.

I've attached my full config.scm.

Thanks

Do you want this to be mounted on boot?  I don’t think there’s a way to
express that a mount should happen after the network has come up (yet).

You can only tell Guix not to try to mount the disk on boot.  Use
auto-mounting to mount the disk on demand at a later point.  (We don’t
have a service for autofs yet.)

Your contributions in this area would be welcome!

There is no module “(gnu packages zsh)”.  “zsh” is now in “(gnu packages
shells)”.

Here’s what I do in my config:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define dvorak-evdev
  (call-with-input-file "/etc/config.d/evdev.conf" read-string))

[…]

(operating-system …
  (services …
    (modify-services %desktop-services
      (slim-service-type
       config => (slim-configuration
                  (inherit config)
                  (startx (xorg-start-command
                           #:configuration-file
                           (xorg-configuration-file
                            #:extra-config
                            (list dvorak-evdev))))))
                            …)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You can use something like that to add to the xorg configuration file.
Just put your snippet in a file and slurp it up.

Not sure about this one.  Your config looks okay to me.  I’m not using
this myself, so I don’t know if there’s a bug in our documentation.

Don’t know about this one.  Is any kernel firmware loading mechanism
involved or do you suspect an xorg configuration problem?

This works for me:

(use-package-modules shells)

  (users (cons (user-account
                (name "admin")
                (comment "")
                (group "users")
                (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev"
                                        "audio" "video"))
                (shell #~(string-append #$zsh "/bin/zsh"))
                (home-directory "/home/admin"))
               %base-user-accounts))

Though I'm not yet sure how to change the root accounts shell to zsh.

Anyone know that?

Ideally I would like it to be mounted on boot. Only thing I found was in
the mount manpage <https://linux.die.net/man/8/mount> which mention the
option _netdev. That will supposedly wait until the network is up before
mounting. But I'm not sure if GuixSD (Shepherd?) is using mount or not.

How do I mount it manually after boot? I see it's in the fstab but I cannot
run mount. It's complain about wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock...
And mention that it might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program. When I
run
sudo mount /media/Valhalla

I would love to contribute. But my experience with guile right now is
minimal. So my plan is to first familiarize myself with guile and guix by
first package up some stuff I notice are missing in guix that I use. Any
recommendations on books, tutorials etc on guile would be helpful.

This worked for me. Thanks. What is the best way of looking up what package
belongs to what module? In case I hit more of this in the future.

Tried doing something similar but getting errors on the read-string.
First I got:
guix system: error: failed to load '/etc/config.scm':
/etc/config.scm:23:24: /etc/config.scm:23:24: In procedure module-lookup:
Unbound variable: read-string

After searching in the guile manual I found a read-string in the module
(sxml ssax input-parse), loaded that and now I get.
guix system: error: failed to load '/etc/config.scm':
sxml/upstream/input-parse.scm:318:11: In procedure read-string:
sxml/upstream/input-parse.scm:318:11: In procedure <: Wrong type: #<input:
/etc/config.d/00-keyboard.conf 14>

I'm probably missing something.
I've attached my new config.scm and xorg file.

It is working it was just me being stupid. I was looking in /bin for env,
but in my config it is set to /usr/bin/.

I'm not sure about this one either. No kernel firmware mechanism is
involved as far as I know, I think the firmware just mimics a plain old usb
keyboard. From what I understand the dual action keys should be happening
in the firmware and the kernel shouldn't even notice any of this. But
that's just my assumption. Need to debug this further before I can draw any
conclusion if it's GuixSD or if it's my laptop. Just thought I mention it
in case someone have stumbled across it.

Good Q. I have no idea. I guessed. I'm still new to all this too :-)

You can use “guix package -s zsh” and then use recutils to match on the
“name” field and print the “location” field.  The location matches the
module name:

   gnu/packages/shells.scm –> (gnu packages shells)

That’s not the right “read-string”.  You need to load (ice-9 rdelim).
The sxml stuff is for parsing XML.

If you keep a/multiple local checkouts of the guix repository,
grep can help, like

egrep -nr "define-public zsh" gnu/packages

Otherwise there is recutils, and also
1guix package --search

Thanks guys for all your help.
Got everything working!
Can finally type normal on the laptop, hitting caps lock instead of ctrl
got pretty annoying. :)

Just need to figure out how to manually mount my nfs drive.

“guix package -A zsh” would also show the location in a concise way.
