This manual page

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Substitute-Server-Authorization.html#Substitute-Server-Authorization

says that I should loo for substitutes authorization keys in

prefix/share/guix/hydra.gnu.org.pub

I'm on a laptop with GuixSD on it and I don't understand: which is my
prefix ?

I'm asking this because Efraim invited me to use his substitute server on
the irc channel and I don't know how to set it up

I want to use his substitute server because I'd like to build the
installation image from the branch with the graphical installer, in order
to test it in a visrtual machine

But when I tried to build the installation image I got this (tl;dr
linux-libre-4.13.2 missing)

Sorry, those instructions are confusing and should be improved. On
GuixSD, hydra.gnu.org is authorized by default; you don't need to
authorize that server again.

For reference, on GuixSD the default signing keys for binary substitutes
can be found at '/run/current-system/profile/share/guix'.

On a foreign distro, if you did the binary installation, they are at
'~root/.guix/profile/share/guix'.

If Efraim is just providing a substitute mirror of hydra.gnu.org, you
don't need to do anything. If he is building his own binary substitutes,
you'll need the signing key for his server, which wil be provided by
him. I've copied him on this message.

Unfortunately, the linux-libre project does not maintain an archive of
their releases, as you saw. Do you need to use that particular version
of the kernel, or can you use something more current, which might still
be available upstream or cached on our servers?

I just run this line
~$ ./pre-inst-env guix system disk-image gnu/system/install.scm

as by the instrctions to build an installation image from that branch

and I ended up with the error I reported here

If an installation image with the graphical installer can be built with a
more current kernel, I'm all for it
Only, please, tell me how

I forgot to include him directly, so I'm doing it now.

From the folder where you run that command, can you do `git describe`
and send the result here? Once I'm sure what branch and commit you are
using, I'll try updating the branch on Savannah.

Also based on the path it looks like the graphical installer branch

Looks like Danny just updated the branch:

Now I'm not sure what's going on.

The graphical installer code on this branch is unfinished, I think, but
Danny will know more about its status than I do.

Ok, thanks

Anyway, it's not necessary for me to test the graphical installer, I was
just curious

Maybe I shall wait until it's more accessible

If it's not on top of your priorities right now, it's ok

Hi Catonano,

the installer should work.

Try make clean before?

I tried creating a disk-image like you did and it worked and I have a disk image now (which should be able to install guix).

Re: Graphical installer branch

Oh, are you using branch wip-installer-2 (note: "2").

No, I just built a disk-image on the wip-installer-2 branch using your command and it worked.

Not sure what's up on your side with it.  On the other hand, disk-image has always been flaky for me (also in master).

The error message refers to some bare-bones template which Mathieu changed recently - but I merged it to wip-installer-2 some days ago.  Also, it works for me.

Are you sure you don't have uncommitted changes in your working copy?

~/projects/graphical-installer_guix [env]$ git status
Sul branch wip-installer-2
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/wip-installer-2'.

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

    gnu/packages/gnome.go.cLkB4p

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)



I mean, it's ok, if you don't know what's going on

I'll try again in a couple of months

It's not urgent, I was just curious

Thanks anyway

I just built successfully wip-installer-2 branch. Can you try to "make
clean" before building the disk-image?

I had done that aleady

I found the poblem.

I had renamed the folder from "guix" to "graphical-installer_guix"

So it seems that the guix machinery wants the containing folder to be named
"guix"

I had renamed it because I am keeping several guix checkouts, each one for
doing a specific thing

One for my trytond service, one general, one for building some patches that
people send to debbugs, and so on

Well, now I have an image with the graphical installer :-)

I wil try soon

Thanks !

I'm using "git worktree", thus all checkouts share the same .git
directory. Not perfect, but a big help for me.

This looks like an ABI problem.  Try “make clean-go”.

I don't remember which are the necessary go files, but the quick version is you'll need to delete all the '.go' files except for in gnu/packages

Thanks Efraim

But no. Even after "make clean" and erasing by hahnd some stray .go files,
I still get

~/projects/graphical-installer_guix [env]$ ./pre-inst-env guix system
disk-image gnu/system/install.scm
guix system: error: failed to load 'gnu/system/install.scm':
gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl:18:22:
gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl:18:22: In procedure allocate-struct:
Wrong type argument in position 2: 11

Well, ok

I'll keep an eye on this

We'll see

Thanks

In this case Catonano was looking for the linux-libre 4.13.2 (?)
tarball, which I had a copy of. I don't actually have a local mirror of
hydra, its on my aarch64 substitute server.
