For clarification, which option applies?

  (a) IceCat does not appear in the application menu at all
  (b) or:
  IceCat does appear in the application menu, but its icon
  is missing (but there is still some text like ‘GNU IceCat webbrowser’)

What's the output of "echo $PATH"? Normally, $HOME/.guix-profile/bin
should be present in $PATH, but maybe somehow it isn't.

Also, what's the output of
  ls -l ~/.guix-profile/bin/icecat

and
  ls -l ~/.guix-profile/bin
?

Greetings,
Maxime.

There is nothing exist of any kind from icons. (icecat starting icon in
the applications menu or so)

I can use that as well fine in guixsd, But not in debian.

  > maybe ‘bash: icecat: command not found’, ...?

yes, and if i type ice and press Tab nothing appearing.

bug#48811: R 4.1.0 does not build

[meedstrom--- via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

Running ~guix build r-minimal~ fails with the following messages. Sounds like 
it cannot find the
style file plain.bst and some math fonts; maybe upstream changed the 
dependencies. Or I read it
wrong and it's some other error from the make target "vignettes-no-lattice".

Let me know if it works for you and the issue's on my end.

bug#48848: Failure to post a reply through the Web interface.

[Tony Olagbaiye]

Hi,

I attempted to comment on both the links below using the comment box:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/33899
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/46800

The result was a sign that my comment had been submitted successfully, but no 
comment appeared, and 12 hours later nckx reports that there is still nothing 
in the queue.

Reason to believe commenting via web is broken!

Hope that helps,

bug#48796: Guix on Debian 11 - Cant run or find applications from Guix

The reason you can't simply type "icecat" in the terminal is because
Guix puts the 'icecat' executable in ~/.guix-profile/bin/icecat, but
that directory is not in your PATH environment variable.

Likewise, the reason there's no icon, i.e. no entry for IceCat in the
list of applications known by desktop environments in Debian, is because
by default desktop environments look in /usr/share/applications for the
".desktop" files, but Guix puts the desktop files in
~/.guix-profile/share/applications.

On a standalone Guix system, these issues are addressed by making sure
your environment variables are set as needed to make these things work.

~/.guix-profile/etc/profile should contain Bash shell commands that set
the environment variables appropriately for the set of packages
currently installed.

If you type "source ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile" from a Bash shell, it
loads the needed environment variable settings into that shell instance,
and henceforth you should be able to run "icecat" by simply typing its
name, *but* _only_ in that shell or other processes later spawned from
that shell.  That's because environment variable settings are _not_
global.  Each process has its own set of environment variable settings.
Typically, newly spawned processes inherit their environment variable
settings from the parent process that launched them.

In order to set your environment variables appropriately for your entire
desktop environment, you must arrange for the environment variable
settings to be loaded before the desktop session is launched.  I don't
remember off-hand how to do this in Debian.  I seem to recall that one
approach is to create an ~/.xsessionrc file, which should be an
executable Bash script that loads the needed environment variable
settings and then launches the desktop environment.  Maybe there's a
better way.

I'm surprised this isn't well-trodden territory, long ago documented in
our manual, but I guess it isn't.  It would be good if some Debian
expert(s), or at least someone who runs Guix on top of Debian, would
step forward to fill in the details.

Thanks for raising this issue.

 Regards,
   Mark

It seems there's a bug in guile-git.
