Subject: bug#45139: Dico fails with "Read-only file system" message
Date: Wed, 09 Dec 2020 13:34:57 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k0tr0wge.fsf@disroot.org> (raw)
Hi. Some time ago I was able to use Guix-installed dico on my Debian
buster system, but since some days ago it fails with
$ dico -tvvv puppy
dico: Error: Invalid reply from server
dico: Error: /home/jorge/.dico:1: Cannot connect to the server
dico: Error: Invalid reply from server
dico: Error: .dico:1: Cannot connect to the server
dico: Debug: Connecting to dict://localhost:2628
dico: Debug: S:idxgcide: Error: cannot create index file `/home/jorge/.guix-profile/share/gcide/GCIDE.IDX': Read-only file system
dico: Error: Invalid reply from server
The Emacs interface (dictionary package, installed from MELPA*) also
fails with the error message:
dictionary-check-initial-reply: Server returned: idxgcide: Error: cannot create index file `/home/jorge/.guix-profile/share/gcide/GCIDE.IDX': Read-only file system
This is probably caused by the gnu-store.mount Systemd service which I
recently enabled. However, enabling this service is recommended by the
manual (see [[info:guix#Binary Installation]]), so I believe this is a
bug.
Will you find a way to make Dico work on a read-only file system? In
the meantime, is it safe and secure for me to temporarily disable
gnu-store.mount as a workaround?
Regards
