Hi,

Jimmy Thrasibule <jimmy.thrasibule@gmail.com> skribis:

What do you mean by “unpacking the store”?

I believe /var/guix/profiles/default is used because neither $USER nor
$LOGNAME were defined, right?

This was fixed here:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=c20ba18304ee63f01895f092bb51bc2a9ce3303b

but it’s possible that you were running a version that lacks this fix.

Also, there was a bug on Ubuntu where “sudo guix pull” would misbehave:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/36785

Perhaps that’s also what happened here?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
