Hello everyone,
I am on GuixSD, using EXWM as my window manager. Though I really
appreciate the way it works, it seems that it does not find many of the
programs which are required for emacs to function properly.
I would like to, but cannot:
* use dmenu and see (recently used) programs
* open dired in a specific folder
* open a file
* use run-geiser / geiser / guile / mit-scheme / ...
On the surface, most of these problems appear to be of the same nature:
in many cases, the error message is (translated from german)!
"Searching for program: file or directory not found, $PROGNAME", where
$PROGNAME is one of the following:
* ls (in case of dired)
* git (open a file)
* guile (run-geiser / guile)
dmenu is a bit different, because while I can start it just fine via
keyboard shortcut, it finds only two programs, "env" and "sh".
I have been asking several times on #guix if anyone can help me, but was
not able to successfully put what I was told into practice.
Essentially, I was told to "source /etc/profile". I tried to do that for
.bashrc and .profile, but that didnt help, because I dont have similar
problems in the command-line/shell, only in emacs.
Then I was told to "source /etc/profile" from a file such as .xinitrc /
.xsessions, which I tried but which also didnt work because gdm stayed
in place via the system configuration (there has been a helpful HOWTO by
Alex Kost, which I might try as well if nothing else helps).
Before writing, I have experimented with the (extra-arguments '("source
/etc/profile")) in the (xorg-configuration), but this led my system to
not start anymore, so I rolled back.
Any help or pointer is greatly appreciated. I hope I have provided the
necessary information, otherwise feel free to ask.
Thank you guys in advance, so far I am stoked by how great a community
guix is, and how awesome guix itself is :)
Greetings,
Olivier
