(address . bug-guix@gnu.org)
Hi,
I'm trying to setup a Guix machine. I did clean install using guix system init,
I can provide the config, but it does not seem to be relevant. After that I
decided to try the guix home reconfigure command, and it ended with:
guix home: error: while creating directory `/var/guix/profiles/per-user/wolf': Permission denied
hint: Please create the `/var/guix/profiles/per-user/wolf' directory, with you as the owner.
The workaround I used was to just install any random package:
guix install coreutils
guix remove coreutils
After that running
guix home reconfigure config.scm
started to work just fine. However that does not seem like proper way, but more
like a workaround. I was adviced on IRC to report it, so here I am.
W.
