locale warnings

locale warnings

[Hinko Kocevar]

HI,

I followed the instructions to set up locale for user (https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Application-Setup), but I'm still getting these messages for each guix invocation:

substitute: guile: warning: failed to install locale
substitute: warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument

Any ideas?

TIA,

Hinko Kocevar

Seems that if I start the daemon on CLI locale warning appear.. if using systemctl start guix-daemon instead, no warnings.

These warnings come from the ‘guix substitute’ process, which is spawned
as root by ‘guix-daemon’.

To fix it, you need to add GUIX_LOCPATH to ‘guix-daemon.service’ if it’s
not already there, like this:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/etc/guix-daemon.service.in#n10

Did adding a GUIX_LOCPATH environment variable to the
guix-daemon.service help?  I have the same issue on GNU/Linux Mint
workstation, but this tip didn't help me.

Hi Oleg,

I just tried this in a root terminal (not using sudo):

obzen ~ # export GUIX_LOCPATH=/root/.guix-profile/lib/locale
obzen ~ # ~root/.guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild


and it does not print warnings, as advertised, when using guix tool.

Thanks,
hinko

Have you tried setting GUIX_LOCPATH for the user (instead of just root) and also installing glibc-locales for the user (instead of only root)?

I had the same problem with locales not being found, but installing the locales and setting the environment variable for the user fixed it for me.

The problem you may have is that guix@0.14.0 is linked against glibc
2.26, so it cannot use the 2.27 locales.  You should upgrade ‘guix’.

It seems I did a wrong thing before.

‘sudo guix pull’ doesn't produce ‘/root/.config/guix’ directory and
files inside this directory.

I tried another ‘guix pull’ after invoking ‘sudo -i’.  Then I got
‘/root/.config/guix’.  After I ran ‘guix package -u’ and ‘systemctl
restart guix-daemon’.  No warnings now.

Also I probably need to say that ‘glibc-locales’ package replaced (with
shell command ‘guix package -r glibc-utf8-locales -i glibc-locales’)
‘glibc-utf8-locales’ package for my non-root user, because only
‘glibc-utf8-locales’ package installed produced mentioned warnings.

Thanks,
Oleg.
