Hi,

Sorry,
you provided me already with a script for activating all profiles at login,
I don’t know at the moment, why I have mixed it up with other things
and  I didn’t use it.
------------------------------------------------------------
in the meantime all packages are available at login
through the help of Martin
------------------------------------------------------------

so I tried to use your "update-profiles.sh"
I placed it in my home directory: ~/gfp
and changed one sentence, my the place of the profiles:

update-profiles.sh

#!/bin/sh

GUIX_MANIFESTS=$HOME/sys/guix/manifests
GUIX_PROFILES=home/gfp/Projekte

for dir in $GUIX_PROFILES/*
do
     name=$(basename "$dir")
     manifest=$GUIX_MANIFESTS/$name.scm
     profile=$dir/$name
     if [ -r $manifest ]
     then
         guix package --manifest="$manifest" --profile="$profile"
     fi
     unset profile
     unset manifest
     unset name
done

-------------------------------------------------

but running it, it seems not doing anything.

sometimes it’s difficult for me, to know so little, not knowing what I 
have to do, not knowing the basics ...

Is it connected with the other script to activate the profiles at login?
so that it doesn’t work?
I guess both scripts are independent.

or is the path to it wrong?
I have the directory
~/gfp/Projekte

and in it many directories/which are the different profiles, e.g: 
Musescore, Musik, Emacs, Calibre, Gnucash, Icecat, Libreoffice, 
Photoflare, Lilypond

and in each of these directories a scm.file with the same name but in 
small letters like: musescore.scm, musik.scm, emacs.scm ...



Kind regards

Gottfried
