Could you try the command shared by Daniel in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2022-01/msg00167.html ? It worked for me. At least chromium runs and I could browse a couple of websites without crashes (didn't test for too long, though).

Daniel, I think it would be good to report the issue to https://issues.guix.gnu.org/ with the information in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2021-12/msg00088.html, and provide the command below as a proposed replacement, which I can confirm launches chromium in Guix System. I think that would be a start at least. Would you like to do that, or should I do it? > Concerning the chromium example, for me this works: > > --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > guix shell --container --network --no-cwd ungoogled-chromium \ > --preserve='^DISPLAY$' --preserve='^XAUTHORITY$' \ > --expose=$XAUTHORITY -- chromium > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > > Maybe for your example (I couldn't check since I didn't find any package > called mazo or python-mazo) this would work: Yeah, sorry, I should have mentioned that "mazo" is an application I'm writing.

I got the same result as before. I managed to launch the app by mixing the command above with some parts of the command used in another message about the same subject (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2020-07/msg00012.html). So this worked: EXAMPLE: guix shell -C -E "^DISPLAY$" -E "^XAUTHORITY$" --expose="$XAUTHORITY" --share=/tmp/.X11-unix/ --share=$HOME/.Xauthority END EXAMPLE But I'm just typing things without much consideration and hoping for the best :) For example, the application now starts but it has no icons. So I guess I'll go find some information about all the fundamental variables and resources required by GTK apps to run.

So I guess I'll go find some information about all the fundamental variables and resources required by GTK apps to run. I took a shortcut and just added "gnome" package to the manifest. After this, I also noticed a dbind-related warning¹ when starting the app and lots of dconf-related warnings² when using a file chooser dialog from the app. I got rid of the former by exposing the socket mentioned in the warning, while the latter went away after exposing the machine-id. So the command now looks like this: EXAMPLE: guix shell -C -E "^DISPLAY$" -E "^XAUTHORITY$" --expose="$XAUTHORITY" --expose=/tmp/.X11-unix/ --expose=$HOME/.Xauthority --expose=/tmp/dbus-P03C3WeCs0 --expose=/etc/machine-id END EXAMPLE At this point, the app is displayed and works as expected :) 1. dbind-WARNING **: 19:19:29.619: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-P03C3WeCs0: No such file or director 2. dconf-WARNING **: 19:39:19.279: failed to commit changes to dconf: Cannot spawn a message bus without a machine-id: Unable to load /gnu/store/qqs98rxwjrji6aaf6dqwp7q4m545g2sn-glib-2.70.0/var/lib/dbus/machine-id or /etc/machine-id: Failed to open file ?/gnu/store/qqs98rxwjrji6aaf6dqwp7q4m545g2sn-glib-2.70.0/var/lib/dbus/machine-id?: No such file or directory [-- Attachment #1.2: publickey - luis.felipe.la@protonmail.com - 0x12DE1598.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-keys, Size: 1815 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: OpenPGP digital signature --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 509 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
