guile: warning: failed to install locale

guile: warning: failed to install locale

Hi,

Since I updated guix few days ago, I started observing following notice whenever I start a new shell (with zsh, or bash -l):

==================================================================
guile: warning: failed to install locale
guile: warning: failed to install locale
hint: Consider installing the `glibc-locales' package and defining
`GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:

     guix install glibc-locales
     export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"

See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.
==================================================================

I'm running GuixSD, and have installed glibc-locales in system profile. I don't have GUIX_LOCPATH, and never had that set before either.

Following is the output from guix describe:

==================================================================
❯ guix describe
hint: Consider installing the `glibc-locales' package and defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:

     guix install glibc-locales
     export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"

See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.

Any ideas how to rectify this, and what caused it ?

Thanks!

Did you restart the system?

I also upgraded my system (a couple of days before you) and I also saw 
the hint about setting up GUIX_LOCPATH. This has happened before when I 
upgrade, but the message goes away after restarting the system.

Just as you, I have "glibc-locales" listed in my system's packages. 
Also, I don't set GUIX_LOCPATH manually anywhere, but it is set like this:

   ❯ echo $GUIX_LOCPATH
   /run/current-system/profile/lib/locale

Hope that helps,

Interesting, this time it worked, but I was seeing it for a week, and I did 'guix pull', 'guix system reconfigure' and reboot, and it never worked, while moving glibc-locales from system profile to user profile. Although I was testing this on a server (accessible over SSH only).

Anyways, now all good (with glibc-locales package in system profile), so thank you!

Ha, I just checked, and yeah, I do have glibc-locales in my profile too.

guile: warning: failed to install locale

[Jérémy Korwin-Zmijowski]

When I get that on my Ubuntu, I repeat this steps :

$ guix pull
$ guix package --install=glibc-locales
$ guix upgrade
$ sudo su
# guix pull
# guix package --install=glibc-locales
# guix upgrade

Then make sure super user and regular user share the same locales.

Finally, I reboot.

The issue is that the guix-daemon didn't get the new locales yet.

You need to also do `guix pull` as root and then restart guix-daemon,
assuming you use root's copy of guix-daemon. Otherwise, adjust the
advice as necessary.

Hi,

Have you installed the locale? Something along these lines:

All the best,
