Hello,
after a time off, I just recently began pulling the latest commits and
have been trying to build Guix since maybe a week. But several tests
fail. Even a clean clone fails.
I've only a handful of logs. It seams that the tests fail mostly for
this reason:
/home/ss2/code/guix/test-tmp/store/9m9mjdz3zl28n1dq094aqsxk5d480mvg-bash: 9m9mjdz3zl28n1dq094aqsxk5d480mvg-bash: No such file or directory
But this executable is there though.
I've attached only a handful of logs.
Cheers
Simon

Hello,
since my first submission of this bug report was rejected -- the
attachments where too big --, this report I will simply repost so that

The original logs have been compressed, which should make them now small
enough to let them through the mailer.

This is another follow up after having actually read the relevant info
section on how to do proper testing in Guix.
Checkout is at 5422920b9eaaa0c6bf779588748595c66ca86ba3, and this time I
prepared a test-suite.log with all errors that happen. Please find it
attached. This time it isn't too big either.
Unfortunately ‘tests/processes.scm’ hangs too, or remains unresponsive
after several minutes.
I really wonder what is making all the tests fail. I've tried building
the sources on different machines, or on clean user accounts. They all
fail in the same way. Has someone else been experiencing this yet?
Kind regards,
Simon

Some questions:
* What's the hash of gnu/packages/bootstrap/i686-linux/bash?
(Run guix hash gnu/packages/bootstrap/i686-linux/bash)
I have 1ig8a4bhc7fpw8zrnw4l568wmmcb29rlwg4jbih3imb4x6d9l1gd.
If you see something different, your copy is probably corrupt.
* What does ‘objdump -a gnu/packages/bootstrap/i686-linux/bash’ output?
On my x86_64 system, it outputs ‘[...] file format elf32-i386’.
* What architecture are you on?
You can test with:
$ echo '((@ (guix utils) %current-system))' | guix repl
On my x86_64-linux system, it outputs
[...]
$1 = "x86_64-linux"
scheme@(guix-user)>.
If your system isn't i686-linux or x86_64-linux, something odd is going on.
Greetings,
Maxime.

Does it run when invoked manually?

Also check the permissions of gnu/packages/bootstrap/i686-linux/bash.
It should be 0555, i.e. "-r-xr-xr-x", and ditto for 'mkdir' in the same
directory. I vaguely recall someone running into a similar problem many
years ago because the executable bit was missing in their bootstrap
files, even though the files had the correct contents. The executable
bit is effectively included in the hash computation when the file is
imported to the store, although "guix hash" disregards it when applied
to a single file.

Good question! Should have thought about this before early on. No, it
doesn't.

Contents of bootstrap are as follows:

Result is:

./bash: file format elf32-i386

And: x86_64-linux system.
I just updated my system to a8dd285d5a0670abf124a721e6ba94da045b24ba and
am building 76114232d7c140fb9fee84510b72fcfe6ee27714, which failed again.
Early on I installed Guix into a VM, and built the sources in there
on a pretty much default config from the installer. All tests passed.
Just to be sure I did another clean clone on my main machine, which
failed again.
So why would my system brake the bootstrap binary? Has it got to do
with a particular package I have in my profile(s)? I generally build
Guix with ‘guix environment --pure guix.’ I have a second Guix build
machine running. The packages used there are quite similar, so these
two machines have very similar checkouts and config in general. Hence,
when I build Guix there, the same error occurs.

I figured out why this is happening. I disabled
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service qemu-binfmt-service-type
(qemu-binfmt-configuration
(platforms (lookup-qemu-platforms "arm" "aarch64" "i386"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and now all tests pass.
Why would this be a problem?

I'm guessing the i386 does something bogus? Your x86_64 is already able
to run i386 code natively, AFAIK.
The binfmt service type registers binary formats of non-native
architectures with interpreters to run them [0]; this way, when an ARM
binary is encountered on a x86_64 system, the kernel Linux knows to
launch it via QEMU, for example. Since commit
77c2f4e2068ebec3f384c826c5a99785125ff72c, this is in effect for any
container (it used to be possible to enable it with (guix-support? #t)
on only for the container spawned by guix-daemon.
For the record, I use:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service qemu-binfmt-service-type
(qemu-binfmt-configuration
(platforms (lookup-qemu-platforms "arm" "aarch64" "ppc64le"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
On my main machine without any issue.

Alright, this was my interpretation from the manual and available
architectures that I just plugged it all together like that. I wasn't
aware that x86_64 can run i386 natively.

I reenabled the service without it mentioning i386. Building Guix
passes as expected. Thank you.
