Subject: bug#35341: Guix System installer does not set up passwords and profile directories
Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2019 14:56:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190420125611.m6hb2ftt7ztds275@pelzflorian.localdomain> (raw)
I installed Guix System from a USB flash drive from the current git
master. The manual describes I should set up a password with passwd.
I think the installer should automate this, so users do not need to
know the passwd command.
After setting a password with `passwd florian` and logging in
as florian, I run `guix pull`. This yields the following error:
pull: error: while creating directory `/var/guix/profiles/per-user/florian': Permission denied
hint: Please create the `/var/guix/profiles/per-user/florian' directory, with you
as the owner.
This persists after a reboot.
sudo mkdir /var/guix/profiles/per-user/florian
sudo chown florian:users /var/guix/profiles/per-user/florian
fixes the issue, but the installer should do this automatically.
Regards,
Florian
