Did you define an environment along the lines of the example at <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Inferiors.html>? If so, this should behave in exactly the same way as a “regular” ‘guix environment’, so I’m not sure where the issues regarding access to the tty come from? Depending on the use case, another option is to not use inferiors at all and simply do: guix pull --commit=XYZ -p ./my-old-guix ./my-old-guix/bin/guix environment --ad-hoc whatevern But maybe I’m missing something, let me know. :-) Thanks, Ludo’.
