When trying to run `guix environment foo --container` I don't get a container
with a new shell or any useful information, it just thinks about it for a
while and then returns to the command prompt, allowing me to enter another
command.
efraim@debian-netbook:~$ strace -f -o log guix environment vim --container ; echo $?
1
efraim@debian-netbook:~$ uname -a

The failure is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
21228 mount("none", "/tmp/guix-directory.5sVcGc//dev/pts", "devpts", MS_NOSUID|MS_NOEXEC, "newinstance,ptmxmode=0666,mode=6"...) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
21228 exit_group(1) = ?
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The problem may be that the kernel does not support
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES. Could you check that in
/proc/config.gz or similar?
The other problem is that there’s no error reporting, which doubles user
frustration. David, could you look into it? :-)

QED. :-) However, the daemon needs it too. Don’t you have problems
with guix-daemon as well, when building things locally on that machine?

Not at all, I've been building things all day. Is this the type of thing that
would control if there were multiple concurrent build processes? I've only
ever built things consecutively (not including make -j2). Without changing
settings, should I be building two packages concurrently, or building one and
downloading substitutes at the same time?

I’ve realized that the daemon has a fallback case for this situation, in
libstore/build.cc:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/* Mount a new devpts on /dev/pts. Note that this
requires the kernel to be compiled with
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y (which is the case
if /dev/ptx/ptmx exists). */
if (pathExists("/dev/pts/ptmx") &&
!pathExists(chrootRootDir + "/dev/ptmx")
&& dirsInChroot.find("/dev/pts") == dirsInChroot.end())
{
if (mount("none", (chrootRootDir + "/dev/pts").c_str(), "devpts", 0, "newinstance,mode=0620") == -1)
throw SysError("mounting /dev/pts");
createSymlink("/dev/pts/ptmx", chrootRootDir + "/dev/ptmx");
/* Make sure /dev/pts/ptmx is world-writable. With some
Linux versions, it is created with permissions 0. */
chmod_(chrootRootDir + "/dev/pts/ptmx", 0666);
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
David, should we do something similar?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
