Hey guys, I’ve recently installed guix on my pc, and was doing some post intallation stuff, like using guix pull and than guix system -E reconfigure ~/.config/guix/system.scm, but i’m getting a few errors that I can’t work around. The result for guix pull is the following: cannot build derivation …

Hello, The reconfigure error seems to indicate it does not know where to find nonguix Linux. Try guix pull -C /where-your-channels-file-is (/etc/guix/channels.scm maybe?) Cheers, TH

Hi, I tried what you suggested, as follows: guix pull -C ~/.config/guix/channels.scm. The result was: the compilation of /gnu/store/sbkas5640mgbgyxrnlw8j07jis9ca2yb-nonguix.drv falhou See the compilation log in "/var/log/guix/drvs/sb/kas5640mgbgyxrnlw8j07jis9ca2yb-nonguix.drv.gz". cannot build der…

We removed linux-libre-6.8 from guix proper yesterday as it was end of life for a while now; this caused libbpf which was specifically depending on linux-libre-6.8 headers to break, as the variable wasn’t available anymore, which then caused guix pull to break for a few hours as there now was a dysf…

Hey guys, One way i was able to make guix system reconfigure to work yesterday was to run guix build /gnu/store/...linux.6.9.4 on it’s own. Then, the first command worked just fine. Maybe it just needed some time as pointed out for @theesm . Thanks a lot for all the help!

Hey @theesm , how are you? As it turns out, I said that the issue was resolved, however, later on I tried another guix system reconfigure just to make sure everything was ok. And for my surprise, the error persisted. When I looked into the logs, I got this: . . . scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: line 111:9…

Hi everybody, I’m facing the same issue. Despite many googling, I can’t find any solution solving this error. But maybe (in another thread (?)) this issue has already been solved (?) : any input or link would be grateful ! Thanks

Is it really exactly the same issue? I would suggest opening a new thread otherwise. Btw are you aware of the guix mailing list? :slight_smile: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/ GNU Guix - Mailing Lists [Savannah]

Thx for the reply sls. In a first approach: exactly the same guix system: error: fail to load “.config/guix/system.scm”: ice-9/boot-9.scm:3330:6: In procedure resolve-interface: no code for module (nongnu packages linux) I’ll have a look on the Guix mailing list I wasn’t aware of (and search …

Finally I reinstall the system and now it works …
