Hi, On foreign distro using Guix fb32a38, I get this error, from xterm:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix environment --ad-hoc peek -- peek (peek:31579): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 11:32:59.181: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface' is not installed --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Inside Emacs (M-x shell), instead I get: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix environment --ad-hoc peek -- peek Error: Child process exited with code 1 Unable to initialize default recording backend: Peek requires FFmpeg or running GNOME Shell session. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- In this case, adding the package ’ffmpeg’ makes it work. Any reason to not propagate ’ffmpeg’ here? Maybe ’gnome-shell’ could be propagated instead but the sizes are really different: 797.2MiB vs 2120.1MiB. If GNOME user really want a light peek without ffmpeg, maybe we could create 2 variants. WDYT? All the best, simon
