Doom-emacs: [BUG] Errors after recent update

[haji-ali]

After a recent update I am getting the following error on doom refresh

Contacting host: elpa.gnu.org:443
gnutls.el: (err=[-50] The request is invalid.) boot: (:priority NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.3 :hostname elpa.gnu.org :loglevel 0 :min-prime-bits 256 :trustfiles (/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt) :crlfiles nil :keylist nil :verify-flags nil :verify-error t :callbacks nil)
Trying again (gnutls-error elpa.gnu.org -50)

when trying to install the new doom-snippets package.

I am also getting the following error on doom compile :core:

Cannot load all-the-icons: (user-error "all-the-icons-icon-for-file is already memoized")

and many Unused lexical variable/argument warnings.

Apologies if this is caused by a mistake that I made while updating. But I am not sure how to trace it.

Something similar was happening to me because my local gnutls-utils didn't support TLS1.3. I could fix it by setting gnutls algorithm priority to TLS-1.2: (setq gnutls-algorithm-priority "NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.2").

I'm getting the same issue as well.

@jdnavarro where are you supposed to put that code snip for it to work? init.el?

[vharish]

@Oreodave I've simply did a git grep for gnutls and replaced 1.3 with 1.2. It was there at a couple of places. I'm sure you can do so in the config.el as well.

@jdnavarro Thanks for the tip.

[haji-ali]

It seems to be in two places: here and here

I have been trying to avoid modifying doom (opting instead for my own config.org files on top of it), but this modification seems unavoidable on my work computer.

Just to chime in. I am running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and it does not support TLS1.3. You will get the above error when trying to quickstart/refresh your doom packages.

I changes the 2 mentions of TLS1.3 in the elisp files and it is working OK now. I would think we should look at capabilities of the installed system before setting a specific TLS version. I would think LTS systems will have issues with TLS1.3 as a default. A mention of this in Doctor might be very useful as well.

I've just published the straight branch, which replaces our current package manager (package.el + quelpa) with straight.el. This should address this issue. If you're feeling adventurous, I talk about what to expect going into it in another thread.

[credmp]

Tested the straight branch on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, it works correctly for a standard install (doom install and doom refresh).

[hlissner]

Now that straight is on develop, I'll consider this resolved. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

I get this warning (gnutls.el: (err=[-50] The request is invalid) and I'm unable to fix it. Can I get a bit help?

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and I've installed emacs26 from ppa:kelleyk/emacs

[hlissner]

@igorlakic Please open a new issue for that; don't forget to include your M-x doom/info.

It's likely that https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/pull/2763 may be causing your issues, but you shouldn't be using package.el to begin with, so more investigation is needed.

[igorlakic]

@hlissner Thanks for fast reply! Ok, I'm going to open a new issue (I thought it's related to this issue so I didn't want to make duplicates).
