From one point of view it should be handled by some home service, which will create a proper ~/.xsession or extend it and generic mechanism, from some display managers will automatically source it, but on the other hand maybe adjusting system services for other DMs, which doesn't work "out of the box" yet is a way to go. I don't have much experience with X11, and don't see a whole picture, so it's hard to tell which option is better. -- Best regards, Andrew Tropin signature.asc Description: PGP signature

You are ;) Declaring home-bash-service-type in home environment means
that Guix Home will generate and install bash configurations, which
means you are managing bash configurations with Guix Home.

You can remove your original bash_profile, because it's just duplicates
last two lines, Guix Home adds the same content as skeletons provided
during system installation and a little more.

I'm not sure how your login/display manager works, but for X11 session
sourcing ~/.profile from ~/.xsession should do the trick.
Put the following content to your ~/.xsession:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
. ~/.profile
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
Or add the following service to your home environment:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(simple-service
'xsession-init-file
home-files-service-type
`((".xsession" ,(plain-file "xsession" ". ~/.profile"
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Hi Maxime,
According to the documentation to get all the environment variables set
correctly you either need to manage your login shell with Guix Home or
do additional configuration of your shell:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Configuring-the-Shell.html
From what I see you manage bash with Guix Home, so according to the
source code your bash_profile should look differently from what you've
posted and must contain `source ~/.profile` in it:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/home/services/shells.scm#n440
This line makes your login shell source .profile, which sources
setup-environment, which sources ~/.guix-home/profile/etc/profile, which
sets EMACSLOADPATH.
Additionally, I've built the home environment you provided and it
contains the code I mentioned above.
Make sure that ~/.bash_profile and ~/.guix-home/files/.bash_profile
point to the same file in the store.

bug#56661: EMACSLOADPATH not set when using Guix System + Guix Home + SLIM + Mate
Hi,
(the SLIM + Mate might be irrelevant, untested)
I am using Guix System and Guix Home. In Guix Home, I've added the
"emacs" and "emacs-magit" packages (and some others):
(home-environment
(packages
(specifications->packages
(list "git" "irssi" "evolution" "openssh" "gnupg" "htop"
"bash" "coreutils" "bash-completion"
"emacs" "emacs-magit" "emacs-paredit"
"icedove" "gnunet" "seahorse" #;"icedove-wayland")))
(services
(list (service
home-bash-service-type
(home-bash-configuration
(aliases
'(("grep" . "grep --color=auto")
("ll" . "ls -l")
("ls" . "ls -p --color=auto")))
(bashrc
(list (local-file ".bashrc" "bashrc")))
(bash-profile
(list (local-file
".bash_profile"
"bash_profile"
For completeness, here is the .bash_profile and .bashrc (unmodified from
base installation, except for removing a redundant alias):
# Honor per-interactive-shell startup file
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi
and
# Bash initialization for interactive non-login shells and
# for remote shells (info "(bash) Bash Startup Files").
# Export 'SHELL' to child processes. Programs such as 'screen'
# honor it and otherwise use /bin/sh.
export SHELL
if [[ $- != *i* ]]
then
# We are being invoked from a non-interactive shell. If this
# is an SSH session (as in "ssh host command"), source
# /etc/profile so we get PATH and other essential variables.
[[ -n "$SSH_CLIENT" ]] && source /etc/profile
# Don't do anything else.
return
fi
# Source the system-wide file.
source /etc/bashrc
# Adjust the prompt depending on whether we're in 'guix environment'.
if [ -n "$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT" ]
then
PS1='\u@\h \w [env]\$ '
else
PS1='\u@\h \w\$ '
fi
After a "guix home reconfigure" and after a few reboots, I tried out
emacs-magit, but there was no match for the "M-x magit-status". It
turned out that $EMACSLOADPATH was unset. However, it is set in
~/.guix-home/profile/etc/profile:
# Source this file to define all the relevant environment variables in
Bash
# for this profile. You may want to define the 'GUIX_PROFILE' environment
# variable to point to the "visible" name of the profile, like this:

(nevermind the >, that's just me not making the terminal wide enough

Weirdly, EMACSLOADPATH is not set (tested in a terminal), but PATH,
GIT_EXEC_PATH, BASH_LOADABLES_PATH, INFOPATH and XDG_DATA_DIRS are set.
Also, inside a login shell (bash --login) (started inside the graphical
environment), EMACSLOADPATH is not set.
Also, if I do "source ~/.guix-home/setup-environment", then
$EMACSLOADPATH" is set.
TBI ...

Maxime.
