I am evaluating Guix and am running into some issues getting it
to work
under Fedora 34 Workstation. I followed the binary install
instructions
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html>,
running the install script from an interactive root shell. All
went well, I
rebooted the VM, but then guix-daemon failed to start:
I suggest running the guix-daemon command manually first to
diagnose this.
But the same Permission Denied/Failed to locate issue remains. I
know that
Fedora uses SELinux which sometimes causes some problems, but
I'm not sure
about how to resolve that.
There are really just two ways: either 1) disable SELinux (or set
it to permissive mode) or 2) install/debug/reinstall the SELinux
daemon policy that is included with Guix.
The daemon policy is *not* installed with the binary installation
method because it is known to be incomplete. You would need to
get a copy of the Guix sources and configure it. The file you
want is called “etc/guix-daemon.cil”. To debug it you would need
to install it, set SELinux to permissive mode, run the daemon, and
then check the audit log for errors.
If you just want to start playing with Guix *right now* I suggest
temporarily disabling SELinux.
