The main one appears because there is no user (chroot environment I guess). Currently, Guix looks at $USER and $LOGNAME then goes in "default" and applies "Migrating" profile code. Note that it appears too with non login shell as reported here [1], perhaps not related. [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-12/msg00021.html What is the best: - set manually the variable USER to `whoami`? or - change to scheme code to call `whoami`? Does Guile expose that? All the best, simon
