Hi Guix,
using Guix on Ubuntu, I kept seeing messages “substitute: warning:
failed to install locale: Invalid argument” (though apart from this
warning, everything seemed to work normally).
From a previous thread on this mailing list, I learnt that the
problem is that the daemon doesn't have GUIX_LOCPATH set correctly,
but I didn't know how to fix
this. #guix explained to me that, for systemd users, this can be done
by adding "Environment=GUIX_LOCPATH=/root/.guix-profile/lib/locale"
to the [Service] section of the guix-daemon.service file. (and
probably also installing the necessary locales for root, which I'd
already done).
Should this environment setting be added to the default
guix-daemon.service, or could this break something for other
users/distributions (I'm not sure systems other than Ubuntu have this
problem?).
Thomas
