Subject: guile-wm crashes on login
Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2019 16:58:06 -0600
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I am trying to use guile-wm, but it fails when I launch it.
I define an operating system that includes guile-wm as a package and use
it to build a virtual machine image. Here is the operating system
definition:
~~~~~

(use-modules (gnu) (gnu system nss))
(use-service-modules desktop)
(use-package-modules certs gnome guile-wm)

(operating-system
 (host-name "piranhaplant")
 (timezone "America/Boise")
 (locale "en_US.utf8")

 (bootloader (bootloader-configuration
              (bootloader grub-bootloader)
              (target "/dev/sda")))

 (file-systems (cons (file-system
                      (device (file-system-label "mini8"))
                      (mount-point "/")
                      (type "ext4"))
                     %base-file-systems))

 (users
  %base-user-accounts)

 (packages (cons* nss-certs
                  gvfs
          guile-wm
                  %base-packages))

 (services (cons* (gnome-desktop-service)
                  %desktop-services))

 (name-service-switch %mdns-host-lookup-nss))


~~~~~

When I try to log in, it flashes an error so fast I cannot record it,
then returns to the login screen. When I launch it from a console, it
sends the following to stderr:

~~~~~
From what I can tell, it is attempting to re-compile guile-wm, and
cannot find the prerequisite guile-xcb package files.

Possible solutions:

-Edit the guile-wm package to include guile-xcb in the
propagated-inputs. As the manual says, "Another example where
|propagated-inputs| is useful is for languages that lack a facility to
record the run-time search path akin to the |RUNPATH| of ELF files; this
includes Guile, Python, Perl, and more. To ensure that libraries written
in those languages can find library code they depend on at run time,
run-time dependencies must be listed in |propagated-inputs| rather than
|inputs|."

If there are no objections to taking this action as suggested by the
manual, here is a patch:

~~~~~

I could not test this fix because even in a guix environment and
pre-inst-env with the patch, guix does not recognize the file I edited
as the file that defines the guile-wm package. (I think that's a problem
with my OS.) However, when I included a similarly revised definition of
guile-wm in an OS definition, guile did not try to re-build guile-wm, so
I think this is progress on the guile-wm crash bug. It does not allow me
to run guile-wm as my window manager, but it does fix one part of the
problem.

If I remember my interaction with guile-wm correctly
this is expected behavior out of the box.

Upstream has probably moved on to other interests,
because there are more errors at runtime once you
get to launch into guile-wm. For a couple of years
now volunteers have been asking about how to help
and so on but nothing has happened.

Hi Jesse,

Thank you for this excellent bug report!

The guile-wm executable is already wrapped in GUILE_LOAD_PATH and
GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH, which should accomplish the same thing.  The
problem seems to be that the directories on GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH are
incorrect — they don’t contain any .go files!

The problem lies in the guile-wm package’s “'set-load-path” phase.
Instead of “share/guile/site/2.2” it should be using
“lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache” for the compiled load path.

This should now be fixed (commit
