Hi Simon,
...and also at start up that I can choose which profile to open?What do you mean by “choose”?
I meant when I am starting Guix, I can choose to use MATE desktop or Enlightenment Desktop. If there is also the option to choose a certain profile, in case I have more profils.
When I have choosen MATE desktop, which profile opens?I am worried, that, if I create a profile with only one package "musescore" in it,
and if that opens, or after creating that profile, I can't switch to my main profile. So before creating a profile with only one package musecore in itI want to be sure how I can switch to that profile and how I can choose my other, my main profile.
Kind regards Gottfried

However, you cannot “deactivacte“; unset the environment variables and restore the previous ones. Maybe, the easiest is: bash source path/to/some-profile/etc/profile …do some stuff… exit Instead, you can run guix shell -p path/to/some-profile/etc/profile …do some stuff… exit which does the same thing as above....and also at start up that I can choose which profile to open?What do you mean by “choose”?guix package --profile=/home/gfp/projects/musescore-3.6.2.guix-profile and beforehand I created the directory "projects" and "Musescore-3.6.2" in the directory "projects" in my /home/gfp/ directory (I did that because it said: " file or directory was not found" but it didn't work. "warning: nothing to do" was the answer. Where was my mistake?It is missing the option -i (or -m). For instance, guix package -i musescore -p projects/musescore-3.6.2.guix-profile Cheers, simon
