Hi, I'm trying to get going with guixsd for the first time and I just spent awhile trying to figure out what was going wrong trying to run 'guix pull' and 'guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm'.
The issue was that I was running both in shell obtained via 'sudo su' from my user shell. I had read the note about this in section "3.7 After System Installation" and thought since, following the note, I was running both in a root shell, this would be fine. Coming from nix, this is fine, however I see now that the environment and path are incorrect in a 'sudo su' shell as the guix that was being used was the system guix from /run/current-system/profile and not /root/.config/guix/current which led to the effective system downgrade that running guix system reconfigure kept warning about. I would suggest updating the documentation to explicitly say 'sudo su' should not be used since I expect there are many others like me who are ignorant to the differences between 'sudo su' and 'sudo -i' Thanks, Akira
