The previous version of the configuration was complaining that my ‘config’
section was not a valid value for the ‘package’ section. I didn't quite
understand why it would complain about that, so I decided to use my now improved
Guix Home knowledge (compared to when I copied the previous version) to just
rewrite the service in a way that matches my other services.
This also includes an attempt at installing a custom SCSH that defines some
search paths. But unfortunately it didn't work, so the SCSH ends up being the
usual one and the ‘mpd-random-albums’ package doesn't actually work.
The main MPD configuration does work, though.
This also includes the instruction to install tmsu which I want to try out
again.
- Sort all use-module directives
- Remove ‘gcc-toolchain’ from the installed packages because it appears that the
regular emacs-next (not from a git checkout) works fine without it.
- Add ‘emacs-org-roam’ and ‘emacs-vterm’ packages because they both come with C
modules and installing them on-the-fly in Emacs wasn't working properly.
- Add ‘fakeroot’ package because it appears to be needed now that I'm using
guix-home if I want to build packages for Archlinux. This still happens when I
need to install some proprietary program from the AUR.
- Add an Emacs configuration service. For now this just ensures that the
‘emacs-next’ package is installed and creates a shepherd service that starts
Emacs when I log in.
- Change the default run dialog from ‘rofi -show run’ to ‘rofi -show drun’ to
run .desktop files. This offers more control over what does and doesn't show
up in the list and allows me to put only stuff in there that actually works in
a graphical environment.
This is a temporary fix. I've switched from using ‘@theme’ to ‘@import’ because
the former discards the default theme, and apparently my theme makes some
assumptions about the state of things and requires the default theme to work.
The proper fix would be to fix my theme instead.
This change also fixes a bunch of typos and fixes the use of references within
the theme. References aren't strictly necessary, but my current theme relies on
them and they are technically a valid part of the configuration.
These configurations were set up wrong, putting the configuration files in
‘config/*’ instead of ‘.config/*’. The
‘home-xdg-configuration-files-service-type’ takes care of putting them in the
right directory.
I didn't know about this service before, it doesn't show up when I ‘guix home
search home’
