Maybe I should not be haphazardly putting together my config.scm files on the fly.... Maybe I shouldn't be using root bash to test modifications I plan to make to my config.scm files... Maybe running GUIX on the 6 bear metal computers I use it on was a bad idea and I should be using VMs... But this explanation just saved me...Some root shells working and others not working, boy was I confused???... and this just saved me ... Mark H Weaver, Thank you, Thank you Thank you. Just one little thing I might still be getting totaly wrong... given I know the classical lines: #GUIX_PROFILE="/root/.config" #. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile" What would this do differently in root, if anything? #source /root/.config/etc/profile
