Hi Giovanni, No, I use it on a Xubuntu distribution, not on Guix SD and not in a VM.
It may still have been caused by something somewhere in my environment, of course and `source`ing again `~/.profile` is also an idea. I am not sure it would change anything in my setup, the way I set variables in there.
