[Install guix packages to non-default]: Unable to build derivation hello

[Install guix packages to non-default]: Unable to build derivation hello

[rohit yadav]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5035 bytes --]

Hi,

I am trying to install guix packages to a non-default location to benefit
from guix on machines with no root privileges. Following the below
mentioned article, I am able to install guix and run guix-daemon configured
to a non-default location. However, when I trying to install even a basic
hello package, the guix goes on to install large number of derivations. And
fails while trying to pull linux-libre (why is this needed for hello
package?). I am not sure why it is unable to pull the src packages to build
from scratch.

Hope to hear soon.

Thanks,
Rohit

The terminal output is attached below:
========================================================================

*ubuntu@ubuntu-xenial*:*~*$ guix package -i hello

The following package will be installed:

   hello        2.10

Hi,

I don't reply to the entire issue, for a comment see below.

In this case, no binary substitute is found. You need to run
"guix package --fallback --install hello" when no substitutes
are found. 
"--fallback" falls back to building (from source) when no
substitute is found.

​Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I am running guix-daemon with --non-substitute
option. And the error posted actually complains about Error 404. I am not
sure, if it is happening because of firewall. Although, I tried the
suggested method also but result is still the same. I cleaned up the store
with "guix gc" and restarted for scratch. Additionally, I am unable to
understand why "linux-libre" is required to install a hello program?

Thanks,
Rohit

​Hi,

I am noticing that all the links the guix is trying to download linux-libre
are broken (linux-libre-4.4.18-gnu.tar.xz) does not exist. How should I fix
it, is there a way to provide a local copy for this which guix can use?

Thanks,
Rohit

Oof, you are right about this.  Where did that tarball go?
We have it cached on hydra.  You can download it with

    guix build -S linux-libre-headers

when substitutes are enabled.  Alternatively, you could fetch this

    https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/nar/51f2f2ck80migsfr2hwy4ds30966lifi-linux-libre-4.4.18-gnu.tar.xz

Note that this is a nar wrapped in a layer of bzip2 compression, because
that’s what hydra does for everything.  You can unpack with bunzip2 and
then use “guix archive --extract” to turn it into a regular tarball.

I’ll open a bug report about the broken URL.  Thanks for the report!

Could you point us to article you followed?  I couldn’t find it in your

Derivations are not packages.  The derivation for “hello” says that it
needs /gnu/store/…-linux-libre-headers-4.4.18.drv, which in turn says
that it needs the derivation to download the linux-libre tarball.

(I’m still traveling, so I cannot check the tarballs right now.)

I apologize for the missing link. Here it is:

https://github.com/UMCUGenetics/guix-additions/blob/master/doc/Deployment.md#restricted-environment-installation

At this moment, I have been able to get nix to work with the same technique
as mentioned in the above mentioned article. However, I really want to use
guix if possible.

Thanks,
Rohit

Ooh, there’s a bug here.  The URL should be:

  https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/file/linux-libre-4.4.18-gnu.tar.xz/sha256/0k8k17in7dkjd9d8zg3i8l1ax466dba6bxw28flxizzyq8znljps

(Compare the part right after “/file.”)

I believe this is fixed by 328f7cbe435d79d61f57129d9e3ee90404d6bfda.

Now, you can either build and install guix-daemon from ‘master’, or
simply make sure to do:

  export NIX_STORE=/home/royadav/opt/guix/local/gnu/store

in the environment where guix-daemon runs.

If you’re using systemd, I guess you can add this setting in the unit
file.

Once you’ve done that, you should be able to download this tarball from
mirror.hydra.gnu.org transparently.

HTH!

​Hi,

Thanks for fixing the linux-libre (I am yet to try). However, my other
question is why linux-libre is required to build hello?

Thanks,
