I usually use Psensor to monitor temperatures but it's not available on Guix yet. Can anybody recommend an alternative that does work on Guix ?

From the article The great promise of Spritely Goblins is to make networking easier and safer. For the past few years, we've focused on developing a toolkit to facilitate this goal. Today, we're proud to announce an incredibly exciting project that will put this toolkit to the test in the largest real-world deployment of Spritely technology so far: a port of the GNU Shepherd system layer to Guile Goblins — the first step in making Guix the object-capability operating system!
Protonvpn has some instructions to connect via openvpn: https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-openvpn/ Where I'm stuck is step 3, where the guide has you download a dns update script into /etc/openvpn. Openvpn doesn't reside in /etc so I'm not sure how to handle that. Any advice? Thanks.
I'm not sure if this is the right term to use, but in Nix, there's a `shell.nix` file to access the shell in an isolated, pure environment. I have a repository, basically a web app that uses NodeJS. I want to be able to invoke a new shell using `guix shell`. What is the similar equivalent in Guix? Is it `guix.scm` or `manifest.scm`?
Compiling a rust program works correctly, but when running the binary the dynamic linker says `libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`. The only way I found to get around this in a manifest file is with force accessing `gcc:lib` which is a private package definition: ```scheme (concatenate-manifests (list (packages->manifest (list (list (@@ (gnu packages gcc) gcc-13) "lib")) (specifications->manifest (list "coreutils" "libgccjit" "clang-toolchain" "other stuff...")))) ``` but the `@@` operator is kind of a hack since it accesses private definitions in a module and probably isn't mean to be normally used. Has anyone found a proper way to link to `libstdc++.so.6`?
I am looking forward to hardening my system, but I'm not sure how I should go about it. Any advice?
I am thinking about moving to Guix, and was wondering what you all think of Shepherd? What are things you like? What are its shortcomings? Any cool or weird things you wish you knew before using it? For context, I am currently using Runnit.
For some reason, the app `nm-connection-editor` (Advanced Network Configuration) exists on my GNOME, but I don't even use it. I suspect that it's a part of package nm-applet. I also have `system-config-printer` (Print Settings, I think?) and `system-config-printer-applet`, but both of them don't work properly. I want to remove both these apps, as I don't use them, but they've been introduced by services. How should I proceed?
I'm a Guix newbie, and I'm also not making use of Guix Home, so for the time being, I'm forced to build the entire `config.scm` from scratch. However, what I've noticed while building is that I get this weird log: ```console shepherd: Service host-name running with value #<unspecified>. ``` What could this be? I'm pretty sure I've set the value of host in the configuration file. ```scheme ... (host-name "hp") ... ```
It seems to me that there's no service for pipewire available at the moment. How do I configure pipewire to run with GNOME, ideally with pipewire-pulse?
Currently, I'm on a Guix System, and I must say, using Nix with it, or vice-versa, is a terrible idea because of one simple reason: contamination of environment variables: `PATH`, `LD_PRELOAD` and `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, just to name a few. Most of my Flakes are useless on the Guix System, and I can imagine the same for Guix expressions on NixOS.
New blog post on the 100+ Guix packages contributed by AMD, preliminary tests on one the French national supercomputers, and how it can benefit going forward to both AMD and the French and European #HPC environments.

It runs on 4GB of RAM, and GNOME is pretty heavy on this device. I am looking for a custom WM setup based on Wayland preferably (river, hyprland, sway or dwl). I do not want any fancy shortcuts for terminal or any other app. I want to be able to use a launcher and toggle between workspaces. I want snapping and multi-window gestures just like how it works on GNOME. I would appreciate shortcut icons for shutdown, wifi and sound. And last but not the least, I want to be able to control brightness and light/dark mode. Can anyone recommend me how I can start setting up a WM in this config file? What do I need to add, apart from the WM itself?

Edit: Turns out for what I'm trying to do (mount luks encrypted raid after start up) only needs the device mapping for the raid drive and not a file-system object. So I luks encrypted the raid and call a script to open the vault and mount it when I need to. ****** In my system config file I added a raid drive like so: ``` (mapped-devices (list (mapped-device (source (uuid "205e5caa-694f-4457-a2a1-8affa3536e75")) (target "guix") (type luks-device-mapping)) (mapped-device (source (list "/dev/sdb1" "/dev/sdc1")) (target "/dev/md0") (type raid-device-mapping)))) (file-systems (cons* (file-system (mount-point "/") (device "/dev/mapper/guix") (type "ext4") (dependencies (list (list-ref mapped-devices 0)))) (file-system (mount-point "/mnt/nas") (device "/dev/md0") (type "ext4") (mount? #f) (dependencies (list (list-ref mapped-devices 1)))) %base-file-systems))) ``` I'd now like to luks encrypt the raid drive but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. Do I simply make a another mapped-device object, specifying the raid drive uuid and "/dev/md0" as the target: ``` (mapped-device (source (uuid {raid uuid})) (target "/dev/md0") (type luks-device-mapping)) ``` and then pass that as a dependency to the raid file system object? Thanks
If you need to run Grafana on the Guix System this post is the right place. In this example we'll setup Grafana to read metrics from the same machine it's run upon, but you can adapt this to use a remote datasource.
I'm developing a Guix channel with a library of community maintained Shepherd Services for self-hosted software that is not yet guixable. For now there are Grafana, Prometheus and Conduit but it would be amazing if you'd like to contribute some services or even just test the existing ones and report any bug.
TL;DR: Guix Packager is a new web user interface for defining Guix packages, which should help make Guix more approachable! You can check out the web app [here](https://guix-hpc.gitlabpages.inria.fr/guix-packager/). Project repository [here](https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/guix-packager/).
Compare this to this 2020 blog post, which had the source binary at 60MiB https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/guix-further-reduces-bootstrap-seed-to-25/
I thought this was really cool: it's backed by a non-profit and one of their supported distros is Guix System!
I had installed Guix with Mate as my DE but a big part of my desktop experience is having Plank as my dock. I don't see it in the package list on the Guix website. Am I mistaken or is Plank not usable on Guix ? Any recomendations for alternatives ?
My error message when trying to run `minikube` from a `guix shell` is `bash: /gnu/store/ixry3pdrrb52mdiypmlrdn19c7gcc5r4-minikube-1.31.2/bin/minikube: No such file or directory` According to `ldd` and `file`, it looks like everything is hunky dory as far as where all my linkers are pointing.

Does anyone have experience in flashing the Pinebook Pro EMMC with Guix? The images provided on the website don't boot on my SDCard with TowBoot. I flashed it multiple times with `dd if=guix-latest.img of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync` Am I supposed to do something specific?
Hey all. Can anyone recommend me a path or some resouces how I could more learn about Guix? I know packaging is a large part of Guix, yet the information on how to package, or contribute in providing packages seems little difficult to find. Thank you.
I recently installed Guix in hopes of learning to use it. I wanted to update the system and gathered from the reference card that the proper command was "guix pull". My issue is that while no error message is given this didn't seem to update anything after. One thing that makes me think this is that I'm still on the 6.0.10 kernel as I was before. Am I doing this wrong ?
Hello. I am new to the Guix GNU+Linux distro. And I'm trying to get the latest version of Anki (2.1.65). However, the newest version is not in the Guix channel. I'm reading [here](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/education.scm#n729) that a simple edit to the education.scm file (the version var) would fix it. Unfortunately, the education.scm file in a Guix system is readonly. Unless they update the code, my only option is to make a custom module and package to supply a newer version. Though, I don't know how to do that (I'm a noobie). I just need help on figuring that out. Any help is appreciated.
just decided to share this information on a cool recently released command that i have been eager to see for a while and hopefully jumpstart things on the guix community here!
How can I prevent Doom Emacs from pointlessly downloading emacs packages whenever I update it and instead load the ones provided by Guix? I have [this](https://gitlab.com/orang3/guix-home/-/blob/main/fishinthecalculator/etc/doom/.doom.d/config.el#L80) in my Doom configuration but I have no idea about how to test if it's working, and anyway Doom still dowloads i.e. undo-tree which I installed in my Guix profile
