Btw, I can actually exit the session and stuff like that but when I'm back it's still frozen. Does this say something to you?

Switching from Linux-libre to Linux with Guix would be a last resort for me. The deblobbed Linux-libre kernel was one of the key features that attracted me to Guix. I would be more inclined to try to make one of these work first: - Gentoo with a deblobbed kernel - OpenBSD (has no binary blobs) - Devuan testing (I think they have a deblobbed kernel) However I still want to make Guix with Linux-libre work as Guix has other features that I like that Gentoo, OpenBSD and Devuan do not have.

Does this happen with any blend or just with a particular file? What are the exact steps you follow to enter sculpting mode? I can try it here to see if I get the same result, but I haven't used Blender in a long time and never did sculpting.

Thank you for the suggestion. I get the same error if I change channels to be: ``` (define channels (list (channel (name 'guix) (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git";) (commit "c5a2b70135c9830e9c3051ddf4a096f9a80eb952" ```

lualatex doesn't find libzzip-0.so.13 (easy bug?)
Hello, I have trouble running lualatex from the TeX Live distribution (package texlive) : $ lualatex /home/scolobb/.guix-profile/bin/lualatex: error while loading shared libraries: libzzip-0.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I installed the zziplib package which brings in libzzip.so.13, but not libzzip-0.so.13. pdflatex and xelatex run without any issues. I suppose this should be as simple to fix as updating the reference to the libzzip file in the definitions of texlive, but after a quick look I can't see a direct reference to the file libzzip-0.so.13 in tex.scm. I'll take more time to look into this issue soon, but maybe some people with greater experience with Guix could fix it in no time, way before I will be able to :-) - Sergiu

Click and drag on the sphere to sculpt I tried to replicate my own issue and I can't. So it looks like it is solved. I don't know. Good news then! Thanks to all for the help and the support!

Starting Sway a Wayland window manager
I have installed Sway a Wayland window manager. I have copied the `gnu/store/-sway-1.5.1/etc/sway/config` to `~/.sway/config`. When I run `sway` or `sudo sway` on virtual terminal 1 it outputs "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set in the environment. Aborting.". `man sway` and `sway --help` does not mention `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`. An suggestions on how to deal with this error?

I think I manually set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in my ~/.bash_profile. Let me check how I do it...I don't have access to my T400 at the moment. I'm just responding now, to remind myself to help you out later. :)
