bug#47097: eolie broken => unworking example from manual

[zimoun]

Hi,

The manual says:

   guix environment --preserve='^DISPLAY$' --container --network \
     --expose=/etc/machine-id \
     --expose=/etc/ssl/certs/ \
     --share=$HOME/.local/share/eolie/=$HOME/.local/share/eolie/ \
     --ad-hoc eolie nss-certs dbus --  eolie

from
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Invoking-guix-environment>.

The result is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)

All the best,

Btw. is it possible to enable sound for browsers in the guix container 
like from above, for example by using the newest pipewire? Does anyone 
ever test it?


Kind regards!

bug#47097: [PATCH] gnu: eolie: Add missing inputs.

[Leo Prikler]

This fixes errors observed directly at launch of Eolie inside pure
environments.  (See <https://bugs.gnu.org/47097> for more information.)
It is still not possible to launch Eolie inside a container, however.
(See also <https://bugs.gnu.org/47106>.)

* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (eolie)[inputs]: Add libhandy and
gnome-settings-daemon.

I could have missed the commit, I guess this patch is not pushed.  It
seems nice to have for the next release.  Since it fixes an example from
the manual. :-)

Sorry to disappoint you, but it only fixes *some* errors, not all of
them.  I still haven't figured out how to meaningfully launch Eolie
inside a container, see <https://bugs.gnu.org/47106> detailing my
bubblewrap-related issues doing so.

Leo

Still worth pushing though, IMO.

Pushed as 0dc9ad898180bd37aadfa23d23806b595e600c83.  I assume this bug
is to be kept open until 47106 is resolved, am I correct?

We are aiming for a new release on April 18. Should we just remove this
example from the manual?

Since the aim is to showcase how to "run security-sensitive
applications such as a web browser", perhaps we might try to use icecat
for this purpose instead?

Sure, whatever is appropriate. The important thing is to not include
broken examples in the manual.

Unfortunately, we have entered "string freeze" for the upcoming release.
This means the manual cannot be changed. So, we will release with the
broken example :(

I should have been more proactive about removing it.
