That did not change a thing for me: $ mkdir ~/tmp $ XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=~/tmp/ $ guix home reconfigure ~/home.scm /gnu/store/dhd3pgpzjzynfyd42kgldh18j40q8zda-home guix home: error: mkdir: Permission denied I don't know if that matters, but XDG_RUNTIME_DIR was not set at all before (only XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS.)
