Hello, I'm trying to run the Guix package manager on a foreign distro,
Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS.
I installed guix via the script mentioned in
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Installation.html
It seems like the installation is working... although... I feel like
it's outdated and I can't seem to update it.
Here's the error I'm seeing.
> $ guix home container ~/guix-config/home.scm
> guix home: error: failed to load '~/guix-config/home.scm':
> ice-9/boot-9.scm:3330:6: In procedure resolve-interface:
> no code for module (gnu home services dotfiles)
This is what --version says.
> $ guix --version
> guix (GNU Guix) 8e2f32cee982d42a79e53fc1e9aa7b8ff0514714

Here's what pull says.
> $ guix pull

I rebooted my machine after guix pull.
Another thing that makes me think my guix is out of date is that `guix
search go` shows 1.24.3 is available on my GuixSD machine, but when I
run that command on Ubuntu, it only shows Go 1.19.1.
My ~/.profile on Ubuntu contains this.
> $ cat ~/.profile
> HOME_ENVIRONMENT=$HOME/.guix-home
> . $HOME_ENVIRONMENT/setup-environment
> $HOME_ENVIRONMENT/on-first-login
And my $PATH on Ubuntu is this.
> $ echo $PATH
>
/gnu/store/gpr0c9ravibfagir1hp90akgjis3l6m2-profile/bin:/home/me/.guix-home/profile/bin:/home/me/.config/guix/current/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
What am I missing?
