Hi Liliana, Hm, well it doesn't seem like the exact same issue, but that thread is helpful. Could systemd/logind be made to use bash for login? For now I thought maybe I can just write shepherd services to do that stuff for me, to stay in guix homes framework. But shepherd seems to have a problem starting up: /gnu/store/y85vzni5yc6lcb7qqhmlkifis9nzmm5l-shepherd.conf wird geladen. herd: Ausnahmefehler während der Ausführung von »load« mit dem Dienst »root«: In procedure fport_write: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler If you don't speak german, that roughly translates to: loading /gnu/store/...-shepherd.conf herd: exception error during the execution of <> with the service <>: In procedure fport_write: i/o error I got the same error when reconfiguring with two differing simple service configurations (just start a program from a package) passed to shepherd. In anyway I think it would be good to add to guix home's documentation that some features might not work due to the login system of a foreign distro if we are sure of that? cheers Liliana Marie Prikler writes: > Hi Florian > > Am Samstag, dem 12.03.2022 um 13:07 + schrieb florhizome: >> >> Hi guix' ! >> I have been trying to use guix home on my foreign distro partition >> (manjaro); especially in order to set up additional profiles from >> there, but my .bash_profile generated by guix doesn't seem to be >> evaluated at all. >> >> To describe the actual issue finally: None of the things that should >> happen through .bash_profile seem to happen at the moment (it's just >> about different environment variables that will not be set up.), but >> after running bash --login in my terminal-emulator everything is as >> anticipated so my guess is that .bash_profile actually isn't evaluated >> at all after login.

Given that bash is not used for login, your environment-variables block has not effect. Now if you were to define that inside a variable, you could also write up a service that generates systemd unit overrides and add those definitions to it. I'm not sure how well-received such a service would be upstream given that we don't use systemd in Guix, but it's a point to start. Cheers [1] https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48300#7
bug#54354: [BUG] guix home: on foreign distro, ~/.bash_profile is not initialized
Hi guix' !
I have been trying to use guix home on my foreign distro partition
(manjaro); especially in order to set up additional profiles from
there, but my .bash_profile generated by guix doesn't seem to be
evaluated at all.
To describe the actual issue finally: None of the things that should happen
through .bash_profile seem to
happen at the moment (it's just about different environment variables that
will not be set up.), but after running bash --login in my
terminal-emulator everything is as anticipated so my guess is that
.bash_profile actually isn't evaluated at all after login. I'm happy to hear
other suggestions and especially solutions.
I will attach the file that I use
for home configuration, as well as the current resulting .bashrc,
.bash_profile and .profile files.
I'm aware that there is duplicated code by the generated aliases in
.bashrc and that the prompt customization for guix profiles added by
the "guix-defaults?" field does not work due to other related code that comes
afterwards but I'm not sure it's related to that main issue.
I did the original set up using "guix home import" which seems to have
improved since I tried last in december last year when the generated
file didn't work at all.
Manjaro has a lot of stuff in it's .bashrc that i didn't want to
override, and maybe there are more cases of duplication there that I
don't know about what harm they might introduce.
