Hi,

On foreign distro using Guix fb32a38, I get this error, from xterm:

Toggle snippet (5 lines)
$ guix environment --ad-hoc peek -- peek

(peek:31579): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 11:32:59.181: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface' is not installed

Inside Emacs (M-x shell), instead I get:

Toggle snippet (5 lines)
$ guix environment --ad-hoc peek -- peek
Error: Child process exited with code 1
Unable to initialize default recording backend: Peek requires FFmpeg or running GNOME Shell session.

In this case, adding the package ’ffmpeg’ makes it work. Any reason to
not propagate ’ffmpeg’ here? Maybe ’gnome-shell’ could be propagated
instead but the sizes are really different: 797.2MiB vs 2120.1MiB.

If GNOME user really want a light peek without ffmpeg, maybe we could
create 2 variants. WDYT?

All the best,
simon

The correct fix would not be propagation, but rather adding ffmpeg as
normal input (if not already given) and possibly patching peek at build
time to use absolute path ffmpeg. WDYT?

Now, using Guix 4dffece, peek is totally broken on foreign distro.

Waiting the correct fix:

guix shell peek \
gtk+ gsettings-desktop-schemas ffmpeg \
-- peek
