Thank you. I am currently use agate, but I might give gmnisrv another try after the patch makes it into master. -----Original Message----- From: Sarah Morgensen To: Christopher Howard Cc: 49233@debbugs.gnu.org Subject: Re: bug#49233: gmnisrv: missing mime.types Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2021 01:14:39 -0700 Hello, Christopher Howard writes: > Hi, I am trying to use the gmnisrv service as described in the Guix > manual, using the default configuration: > > (services > (append > (list (service gmnisrv-service-type) > (service openssh-service-type) > (service network-manager-service-type) > (service wpa-supplicant-service-type)) > %base-services)) > > However, gmnisrv keeps dying with this error: > > gmnisrv: src/mime.c:37: mime_init: Assertion `0' failed. > Unable to open MIME database for reading: No such file or directory > Is /etc/mime.types installed? > > Is the gmnisrv package or service missing a dependency that is > supposed to provide the mime.types file, or am I supposed to copy one > from somewhere? It turns out that the gmnisrv package was misconfigured so that it was necessary to have /etc/mime.types present. I've submitted a patch at https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49705 to fix that (as well as not looking for /etc/gmnisrv.conf if present) if you would like to test it before it makes it into master. > My system information: > > christopher@galadriel ~$ neofetch --stdout > christopher@galadriel > --------------------- > OS: Guix System b36267b1d96ac344d2b42c9822ce04b4c3117f85 x86_64 > Host: OptiPlex 7010 01 > Kernel: 5.12.13-gnu > Uptime: 24 mins > Packages: 51 (guix-system), 35 (guix-user) > Shell: bash 5.0.16 > Terminal: /dev/pts/0 > CPU: Intel i5-3570 (4) @ 3.800GHz > GPU: Intel HD Graphics > Memory: 93MiB / 15929MiB -- Sarah
