Hello Gottfried, are you using Guix System or Guix on a foreign distro?

Opening /gnu/store/ in Mate Caja (File Manager) takes ages. AFAIK it takes ages in every file manager you'd better use "find" (man find) from your terminal if you want to find a package in /gnu/store, see below > To look for a the Emacs 28.1 file takes also ages. What is "the Emacs 28.1 file"? > Is there a quicker way to search for some directories in /gun/store? > May be in the terminal emulator? With which commands? yes: use the CLI in a terminal to have the (too long) directory listing: "ls -lah /gnu/store" to serach for every first level only directory having "emacs" in its name under /gnu/store: "find /gnu/store -maxdepth 1 -type d -name '*emacs*'" then you can inspect the store for each installed package, e.g. "/gnu/store/r1zd92x4bh8zfz16rj9gh66pr950x2zr-emacs-guix-0.5.2-5.c9aef52" with ls or Caja if you want > I want to change the command for opening emacs in the starter,now > version 27.2 change into emacs 28.

You cannot change the .desktop files used to start applications installed via Guix since they are stored read-only in the store It's "just" a matter to refresh your graphical menu an usually we need to logout and login (at least on a foreign distro) > If I do a "emacs -ProfileManager" it opens the emacs 28 AFAIU you are starting emacs from a terminal, and yes: it starts emacs 28 because it does not use the *.desktop file used by the graphical menu (which have the 27.2 version hardcoded in it) > but does not give me a possibility to set a new Profile. AFAIK "ProfileManager" is not a valid emacs option :-) > 3. Can somebody explain to me the structure of /gnu/store? Please read the Guix manual at "8.9 The Store" AFAIK the store is set read-only **but** in any case /do not/ directly write to the store, it is accessed by the guix-daemon via the various "guix..." command use the guix cli (or the great emacs-guix interface [1]) to explore your packages (et al) [...] > The date is allways the same, it's a reproducibility requirement: our software is /eternal/ B-) [...] > thanks in advance > I am "hacking" at the basics > Gottfried Happy hacking!
