Guix never modifies your ~/.profile. The relevant file is: ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile, which is generated each time you update your user profile. On a Guix system, it is sourced from /etc/profile. On other systems, you should arrange to source that file in your login shell with GUIX_PROFILE set appropriately, e.g. with the following code in your ~/.bash_profile or equivalent: GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile" ; \ source "$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/profile" This is recommended in section 4.2 of the Guix manual, here: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-package.html > Also I think any installation adding something to my `~/.profile` > should tell the user about such a change. Again, Guix will never do this. However, 'guix package' should tell you if you're missing environment variable settings that are needed by the newly installed packages. > No package I installed yesterday did so. Hmm. Are you confident about this? If so, that casts doubt on my hypothesis that this was about missing environment variable settings. Unfortunately, I currently have no other hypothesis to explain why a reboot was required to fix your IceCat. Mark
