i18n guix module error when opening shell after guix home reconfigure

i18n guix module error when opening shell after guix home reconfigure

[Roland Everaert via]

Hello,

First, happy new year and best wishes for this year.

I have updated my guix home configuration to use my zsh config instead of a blank bash configuration.

Unfortunatelly, when I logout and login again, I face the following errors:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backtrace:
9 (primitive-load "/home/roland/.guix-home/on-first-login")
In ice-9/eval.scm:
721:20 8 (primitive-eval (begin (use-modules (guix i18n)) (# …) …))
In ice-9/psyntax.scm:
1230:36 7 (expand-top-sequence ((begin (use-modules (guix …)) …)) …)
1090:25 6 (parse _ (("placeholder" placeholder)) ((top) #(# # …)) …)
1222:19 5 (parse _ (("placeholder" placeholder)) ((top) #(# # …)) …)
259:10 4 (parse _ (("placeholder" placeholder)) (()) _ c&e (eval) …)
In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
3927:20 3 (process-use-modules _)
222:17 2 (map1 (((guix i18n))))
3928:31 1 (_ ((guix i18n)))
3329:6 0 (resolve-interface (guix i18n) #:select _ #:hide _ # _ # …)

ice-9/boot-9.scm:3329:6: In procedure resolve-interface:
no code for module (guix i18n)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, the command guix home reconfigure home-config.scm does not generate any error, so I don't understand why guix complain about a missing module related to internationalization.

I am using guix, the package manager, on a Fedora 34 distribution.

Below is my home-config.scm file content:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(use-modules (gnu home)
(gnu home services)
(gnu home services shells)
(gnu services)
(gnu packages admin)
(gnu packages python-xyz)
(gnu packages password-utils)
(gnu packages dunst)
(gnu packages disk)
(gnu packages backup)
(gnu packages libreoffice)
(gnu packages guile)
(gnu packages xdisorg)
(gnu packages tls)
(gnu packages vpn)
(gnu packages terminals)
(guix gexp))

(home-environment
(packages (list htop glances password-store dunst ranger restic hunspell
;; hunspell-dict-fr hunspell-dict-en
;; guile
neofetch xdotool openssl openvpn xscreensaver alacritty))
(services
(list
(service home-zsh-service-type
(home-zsh-configuration
(xdg-flavor? #t)
(zshrc (list (local-file "zshrc"))))))))
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any idea what might cause such trouble?

Hello Roland,

Sad prefix: I don't have a solution for you, nor am I a guix home
expert, but I can confirm that I also run into the issue. 

On my VM, I actually used an almost-default bash configuration, but run
into the very same issue.

It seems that my $HOME/.guix-home/on-first-login assumes that guix's
guile modules are available to the guile interpreter that is listed in
the shebang;

If you are not worried about temporarily running some older software,
could you try and see if running:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix time-machine --commit=2719dfa631 -- home reconfigure your-home-config.scm
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

works for you? This will get guix to use an older copy of itself to
build and 'install' your home environment.

Thanks!

I'm also encountering this issue running guix on a foreign distro. Not
sure which commit it stopped working, but it's broken in:

172bd0b5cde2609389fd16d18862b5b612c4b000

works when I use the guix time-machine command above.

Hi,

I think this commit is the one introducing the imports which give the error message

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=cde3376b35222f46f8a82e7668a1a6fd42c08754 <https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=cde3376b35222f46f8a82e7668a1a6fd42c08754>
