guix package -i error on another account after system reconfigure

[Yoshinori Arai]

Hello,

After system reconfigure, I loged in new account to confirm installed programs
and set up keyboard, font etc.

I got error from guix package -i setxkbmap as follows,

I got same error when I did guix pull.
Then I loged in old account and tried install package. But I got no error. 

What's happen?

The backtrace isn’t very useful because you snipped off the lines that
led to it.  I’m assuming that this is bug 28144:

    https://issues.guix.info/issue/28144

This is a bug in Guile, which results in miscompilation.  There is no
good way to recover from that.  You may need to use an older variant of
Guix to run “guix pull”, e.g. ~/.config/guix/current-1-link/bin/guix.

Hello,

I tried to recover but I can't.
I can't find ~/.config/guix/current-?-link but find
/var/guix/profiles/system-?-link.

I tried /var/guix/profiles/system-?-link/profile/bin/guix pull. But I got same
error.

Of cource, I tried guix system recofigure again after guix pull by root.

I don't know what's difference of behaivor between system wide guix and per-user
guix.

I think the problem is guile compiled libraries of current profile. But I don't
know how could recompile the libraries or rebuild the profile of new account
that produce by system reconfigure.

They are all possibly different versions of Guix.  My hope was that you
find at least one version that is not affected by the miscompilation.

You cannot recompile anything in the store.  The store is read-only.
This is why I was suggesting using a different version from which to run
“guix pull”.

Hello,

I don't know how to find different version of guix which belong to new account.
Because I don't do guix pull yet on new account.

OK, There are no problem on old account. I will do full reinstall of guixsd with new configuration.

Thank you.

The new account could use the old account’s version of Guix to run “guix
pull”, no?

Reinstallation is rarely a useful thing to do.

Hello, Ricardo.

I mean New Account is new user account that is added by last system
reconfiguration.

user1 --- old account is made at first installation

user1@hostname ~$ which guix
/home/user1/.config/guix/current/bin/guix

user1@hostname ~$ ls -l /var/guix/profiles/per-user/user1/current-guix
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/user1/current-guix -> current-guix-5-link

user1@hostname ~$ ls -l /var/guix/profiles/per-user/yoshi/current-guix-5-link
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/yoshi/current-guix-5-link ->
                 /gnu/store/xh71xqfcbbwsaqakvf6787pdwclkqv6w-profile

user2, user3 are new users.
after su user2 ...

user2@hostname ~$ which guix
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix

user2@hostname ~$ ls -l /var/guix/profiles/per-user/user2/
current-guix -> current-guix-1-link
current-guix-1-link -> /gnu/store/1qwy6c7b4axjaz8fyy1plg29p47slina-profile

This status is after guix pull but finished on error.

su user3 ...

user3@hostname ~$ which guix
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix

user3@hostname ~$ ls -l /var/guix/profiles/per-user/user3/
     current-guix -> current-guix-0-link

ls -l /var/guix/profiles/per-user/user3/current-guix-0-link
ls: '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/user3/current-guix-0-link' にアクセスできません:
そのようなファイルやディレクトリはありません --- can't access. no file or
directory.

This status is before guix pull.

I will delete new users by userdell command and also delete
/var/guix/profile/per-user/user2,user3 then do system reconfigure again before
full reinstallation.

You don’t need to delete those user accounts.

The new users are using the system-wide Guix at
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix, which appears to be broken.  So
you could let user2 and user3 use user1’s Guix, which you said is
working fine.

as user2 just run

    /var/guix/profiles/per-user/user1/current-guix/bin/guix pull

and you should then get a new Guix that works fine.

Same with reconfigure.  Run that with the working Guix to get a new Guix
for the whole system which doesn’t suffer from this problem.

Thank you very much.
