System: Ubuntu 18.04
Guix: 1.0.1
Whenever I "guix pull" I see the error "LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.utf8)". I installed "glibc_utf8_locales" and it seems to have had no effect.
In my .profile I am pointing to "/home/username/.guix-profile/lib/locale". Am I missing something?
I have entered "hash guix" as well with no effect.

Is this on the Guix System, or another distro?
Did you check the instructions in the manual section 2.6.1 Locales?
It's likely this error is coming from the guix-daemon, so you'll need to
make sure that GUIX_LOCPATH is set in the environment where the
guix-daemon starts.
On most distros this happens in the systemd unit file with something
like this line in the Service section:
Environment=GUIX_LOCPATH=/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/lib/locale

I did read section 2.6.1 but i could not understand the implications of the stated info.
I used the guix install script to install the guix package manager onto trisquel, which is an ubuntu based distro.
i have been putting my environment variables in .profile and am not familiar with using systemd. would you provide more specific info for what exactly to do in steps as far as adding this guix locale support properly into my systemd setup?
this might be a good feature to add to future versions of the guix package manager installer script.
Thank you for your assistance :)

Make sure the file /etc/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service includes a
line like this in the Service section:
Environment=GUIX_LOCPATH=/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/lib/locale
If you make any changes to that file, you need to make them take effect
by running `systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart guix-daemon` as
root.
You should also run `env` from the shell where you use Guix and make
sure it includes GUIX_LOCPATH.
For both the systemd service file and your shell, you need to make sure
the value of GUIX_LOCPATH is a directory that contains locales, and that
they are the same version — there will be a directory with a version
number like '2.29' in, for example, '/home/leo/.guix-profile/lib/locale'.
This should all be handled by the installer script so it would be great
to figure out what's wrong.

my "/etc/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service" says:
```
# This is a "service unit file" for the systemd init system to launch
# 'guix-daemon'. Drop it in /etc/systemd/system or similar to have

my GUIX_LOCPATH equals:
```

```
inside inside that directory is a foilder named "2.29" and it contains what looks like every locale.
My entire "env" is the following:

And do you have the locales installed in root's profile? Check if that
directory is exists and contains locales.
Finally I would try removing the LC_ALL variable at the end. I don't
have that (custom service file) and things are working fine for me.

I actually don't have a root profile in my home directory if that is what you mean. However, removing the "LC_ALL=en_US.utf8" from the "Environment=" line in "/etc/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service" seems to have solved the issue!
Was that added by the install script? Will this be fixed/addressed?

That LC_ALL bit was added to fix an earlier bug,
<https://bugs.gnu.org/35671>.
I'm not that familiar with how locales work so I'm not sure the best way
forward here... so I'm CC-ing Ludovic, who worked on it previously.
