 William | Hi all! I'm trying to install guix from my current guix machine to an external drive, which will reinserted as another machine's primary internal drive, and I haven't managed to make a grub that boots the system on the other machine. If any of you have done something similar, what kind of grub-* are you using as your bootloader? | 15:08:54 |
| William | got it with grub-efi-removable-bootloader | 16:12:04 |

If any of you have done something similar, what kind of grub-* are you using as your bootloader? that's interesting. did you boot into your usual Guix system? | 06:54:47 |
| William | yes! the system being installed on encrypted btrfs partition no less | 09:31:57 |
| William |
# external drive: plain EFI partition mounted on /mnt/tmp-efi/, encrypted partition is luksOpened, and the system subvolume is mounted on /mnt/guix-root
# I'm using this with a grub-efi-netboot-bootloader that targets '("/mnt/tmp-efi/")
guix system init .../os.scm /mnt/guix-root

yes! the system being installed on encrypted btrfs partition no less But no subvolumes on default which is just journalling like on ext4... | 20:13:14 |
| William | subvolume for / works fine | 20:53:49 |

 Adroit | Is there a way to fully replace pulse with pipewire system-wide? I see there's a "home service" but that looks to be a user-specific layer thing, and I'd need realtime audio (root) and don't want to keep pulseaudio as well. | 00:00:51 |

On non-Guix systems I know you can get user-mode realtime by setting the right limits.conf | 06:56:37 |

Question, what is the way to configure packages with guix in scheme? (something equivalent to nix options) | 10:24:28 |

Question, what is the way to configure packages with guix in scheme? (something equivalent to nix options) can you point me at Nix doc for the options?
is it like the nix-build --option thing?
| 11:44:51 |
| DC | That sounds like the Guix transformations, but I'm not sure.
The transformations allow you to specify, architecture, tuning, git tags/branches, configure flags, debug info, etc
- run
guix build --help-transform for a quick list.
- See 8.3 on Defining Package Variants https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Programming-Interface.html
- and 10.1.2 on Package Transformation Options https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Package-Transformation-Options.html

| DC | in practice, setting up a manifest to specify these all the way down is a bit confusing. | 11:49:09 |
| DC | so i added a gnupg2.3 package to my github channel.
to ensure that flatpak uses the same version, i needed to manage it's package graph and inject a reference to gnupg2.3
see this org-babel example. https://0x0.st/X-Li.txt
the ``<<packages>>` is a org-babel noweb reference, since my dotfiles are based on daviwil's.
but in similar fashion, if you want some shared libraries to be debuggable for a top-level binary, you can manipulate the package graph returned by a guix manifest. you would use Scheme to write the manifest. | 11:56:55 |
| DC | the Guix transformations feature really is unbelievably powerful for lower-level development | 11:57:22 |
| DC | but you have to ensure that all the packages in the graph are "seeing" consistent versions of the package graph | 11:58:26 |

From a quick glance at the wiki-page that appears to be what I am looking for! Will read more in depth later when I am free and report back. Appreciate the links and mention! :) | 07:44:43 |
