It means you are in a guix shell. In the olden this was called guix environment, which is where "env" comes from. Guix has some Bash customizations built in that make it detect if GUIX_ENVIRONMENT is set and modifies the shell prompt.
Re: attempt to create a profile
Hi Zimoun, What does it mean in my case? It means that you can activate the profile containing the Musescore package using source /home/gfp/Projekte/Musescore/etc/profile or either guix shell -p /home/gfp/Projekte/Musescore Does it make sense? No This was the output: gfp@Tuxedo ~$ export LC_ALL=C gfp@Tuxedo ~$ source /home/gfp/Projekte/Musescore/etc/profile -bash: /home/gfp/Projekte/Musescore/etc/profile: No such file or directory gfp@Tuxedo ~$ guix shell -p /home/gfp/Projekte/Musescore hint: Consider passing the `--check' option once to make sure your shell does not clobber environment variables. guix shell: warning: no packages specified; creating an empty environment gfp@Tuxedo ~ [env]$ What does: [env] mean? thanks for help -- Kind regards Gottfried Am 07.02.23 um 12:03 schrieb zimoun: Hi, On Tue, 07 Feb 2023 at 10:06, Gottfried wrote: I created a profile with one package "Musescore" in: home/gfp/Projekte/Musescore [...] ..

Re: attempt to create a profile
Hi Simon, I didn’t manage yet to get into my profile. .. I created a profile with one package "Musescore" in: home/gfp/Projekte/Musescore in the directory "Musescore" I have got 2 directories: "guix-profil" and "guix-profil-1-link" and one file: "guix-profil.lock" (0 Bytes) .. I should get into my profile with: source path/to/some-profile/etc/profile …do some stuff… exit Instead, you can run guix shell -p path/to/some-profile …do some stuff… exit .. What does it mean in my case?

Well, I am not aware about a way to compose some profiles with “guix shell”. Indeed, it should be possible, IMHO. But I have not checked if it is technically possible. Maybe it is already. :-) In conclusion, I'm a bit surprised that activating multiple profiles at once is so easily found and recommended in the cookbook. It seems to me like there are many underemphasized gotchas with respect to reproducibility and usability which come from it and as far as I can tell, the main developers of Guix do not use it that way. If it is going to be recommended as atleast a possibility for advanced users, then it would be nice to be able to formally test that usage through ~guix shell~. I am using multiple profiles and I barely hit collisions. Given one specific revision of Guix, collisions should not be possible – it means something is wrong somewhere with package definition; although, maybe it is impossible to avoid some collisions with large number of packages, anyway. :-) Most of the time, collisions happen when the profile are coming from different revision of Guix. And try to combine several profiles from different revision is, IMHO, some source of troubles impossible to solve. That’s said, yes I would also like being able to combine several profiles and also extend the result.
