Hi, I am trying to install guix on my nixos system. I am using the shell script provided on the guix installation page:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/plain/etc/guix-install.sh All works well until the script tries to install the guix-daemon service. It cannot install it in /etc/systemd/system and so the daemon cannot be started. See below. Has anyone come across this problem ? I thought /etc filesystem was writeable as that is where configuration.nix lives. Thanks Roy. ------------------------------ This script installs GNU Guix on your system https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/ Press return to continue… [1584356742.078]: Starting installation (Mon Mar 16 11:05:42 GMT 2020) [1584356742.082]: [ PASS ] verification of required commands completed [1584356742.155]: [ INFO ] init system is: systemd [1584356742.160]: [ INFO ] system is x86_64-linux [1584356742.629]: [ PASS ] Release for your system: guix-binary-1.0.1.x86_64-linux [1584356742.632]: [ INFO ] Downloading Guix release archive guix-binary-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.tar.xz 100%[==========================================================================================================================================>] 59.66M 2.03MB/s in 18s guix-binary-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.tar.xz.sig 100%[==========================================================================================================================================>] 833 --.-KB/s in 0s [1584356761.087]: [ PASS ] download completed.
