Subject: Installing guix on nixos system
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2020 12:15:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAH5rZC6eTGG+sv9d7ky1yn4yapLq73sbYR-pTnqMsPGPmyCctQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I am trying to install guix on my nixos system. I am using the shell script
provided on the guix installation page:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/plain/etc/guix-install.sh

All works well until the script tries to install the guix-daemon service.
It cannot install it in /etc/systemd/system and so the daemon cannot be
started. See below.

Has anyone come across this problem ? I thought /etc filesystem was
writeable as that is where configuration.nix lives.

Thanks
Roy.
