Hello Guix community,
I have an issue where my root user seems to be unable to have its
environment set.
As advised, I put the following lines at the end of my shell rc file
(as root, using bash)
# tail /root/.bashrc
[...]
GUIX_PROFILE="/root/.config/guix/current"
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
And it is correctly registered since:
# echo $GUIX_PROFILE
/root/.config/guix/current
However, the problem is I can install packages but I'm not able to use
them. For instance with bat binary:
root@brain ~# guix package -i bat
The following package will be upgraded: bat (dependencies or package
changed)
The following derivation will be built:
/gnu/store/mwznz6gqq4lrxl5pmql8mxixcmhmnnfy-profile.drv
building CA certificate bundle...
listing Emacs sub-directories...
building fonts directory...

hint: Consider setting the necessary environment variables by running:
GUIX_PROFILE="/root/.guix-prof
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
Alternately, see `guix package --search-paths -p "/root/.guix-profile"'.
# guix package --search-paths -p "/root/.guix-profile"
export PATH="/root/.guix-profile/bin:/root/.guix-profile/sbin"
export EMACSLOADPATH="/root/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp"
export INFOPATH="/root/.guix-profile/share/info"
root@brain /home/tomi# bat
bash: bat: command not found
When doing a full system upgrade with guix pull and guix package -u,
everything seems to operate fine and at the end, the message
hint: Consider setting the necessary environment variables by running:
GUIX_PROFILE="/root/.guix-profile"
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
Alternately, see `guix package --search-paths -p "/root/.guix-profile"'.
appears.
I tried to manually source "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile" but it's no better.
Thank you for your help,
Thomas
