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

Hi Gottfried,

I see several problems with `update-profiles.sh`.
- You wrote `GUIX_PROFILES=home/gfp/Projekte`, without leading slash.
  This makes the shell treat this path as a relative one. You need to
  use either `/home/gfp/Projekte` or just '$HOME/Projekte'.
- This script assumes manifests to be stored in a completely different
  place than they really are in your case.
- There's no need to `unset` the loop variables at every iteration. At
  least as long as this script is executed and not sourced. I'm
  mentioning this although a few extraneous `unset`s are not going to
  cause problems. Don't worry too much about this.

I edited the script. Try with this version

```
#!/bin/sh

GUIX_PROFILES=$HOME/Projekte

for dir in $GUIX_PROFILES/*
do
     name=$(basename "$dir" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
     manifest="$dir"/$name.scm
     profile=$dir/$name
     if [ -r $manifest ]
     then
         guix package --manifest="$manifest" --profile="$profile"
     fi
done
```

Hi,
thanks for help

I tried this script in the terminal.

1.
gfp@Tuxedo ~$ ./update-profiles.sh

it said
guix package: Error: Profile /home/gfp/Projects/Calibre/calibre is 
locked by another process

I didn’t open calibre, so what could be the problem?


2. it installed almost all packages from all profiles
without icecat, probably because I had it opened.

3. It did not install my "Musik" profile with several packages.
is locked by another process

I am not sure about that, because I haven't opened any of those packages.


So we have success.
Thank you very much.
You saved me a lot of time and headache.


Kind regards

Gottfried

Oooops, there's probably been a mistake.

Looking at your emails from an older thread, it seems your profile
paths were like "/home/gfp/Projects/Calibre/guix-profil" and
"/home/gfp/Projects/Musik/guix-profil". Is that correct, is there
"guix-profil" at the end of every profile path? And here, with this
script, I erroneously assumed profile paths like
"/home/gfp/Projects/Calibre/calibre" and
"/home/gfp/Projects/Musik/musik". I apologize :(

We need to adapt the script to use the correct profile paths. I think
you could use something like

```
#!/bin/sh

GUIX_PROFILES=$HOME/Projekte

for dir in $GUIX_PROFILES/*
do
     name="$(basename "$dir" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')"
     manifest="$dir"/"$name".scm
     profile="$dir"/guix-profil
     if [ -r $manifest ]
     then
         guix package --manifest="$manifest" --profile="$profile"
     fi
done
```

Also, the script I prepared previously probably created some extraneous
profiles at the paths it was trying to use. Again, sorry if this
happened. You might want to remove the extra profiles you'll find.

Good luck,
Wojtek

Hi,

thanks for help

no problem, I make constantly mistakes...

I have e.g. in the directory /home/gfp/Projekte/Emacs/
the directories:
1. emacs (8 elements: bin, etc, include, lib, libexec, sbin, share, 
  manifest),
2. emacs-1-link (8 elements),
3. guix-profil (8 elements: bin, etc, include, lib, libexec, sbin share, 
manifest),
4. guix-profil-2-link (8 elements),
5. guix-profil-3-link (8 elements)
and 6. emacs.scm

Do you mean the directories "emacs" and "guix-profil" because they have 
the same subdirectories/8 elements
are now created, like double
and I have to remove the directory "emacs",
because the directory "guix-profil" should stay?

All the different profiles (I put them in the directory "Projekte
(engl. projects)

have now always like the example above "emacs"
subdirectories: like their "different package names" and also "guix-profil".

I understood you, that now the subdirectories (with the names of the 
profiles) are now according to the update script additionally created.

and I should delete those directories with the name of the profile

I hope I could express myself clearly.

Kind regards

Gottfried
