Problem

riverctl list-inputs produces an error..

Solution

install libinput.

sof-firmware (from non-guix) does not fix it. No solution found yet.

• Manually install:
  1. download zip from website
  2. unzip in ~/.local/share/fonts/ttf/mononoki-nerd-font
  3. update cache with fc-cache.

• Using guix:

  Or check out channel-b my personal guix channel for the Nerd Font packages.

1. add nix-service-type to the guix system configuration.
2. add a channel to nix: nix-channel --add <channel-url>.

3. update the nix channels, nix-channel --update. It might be necessary to restart the nix daemon, sudo herd restart nix-daemon.

   Note: Restarting the daemon is necessary after every boot (for me), not sure why.

4. install packages with nix.

1. add the xorg-server-service-type to the system configuration.
2. copy .xinitrc to ~/.config/sx/sxrc and make the file executable.
3. add sx to the list of packages
4. use sx, instead of startx, to start the X display server.
