We cannot (and don’t want to) let Guix packages modify the user’s home directory. On my system XDG_DATA_DIRS contains “/run/current-system/profile/share”. Is this not enough to let Gnome find the cursors?

We cannot (and don=E2=80=99t want to) let Guix packages modify = the user=E2=80=99s home
directory.=C2=A0 On my system XDG_DATA_DIRS contains
=E2=80=9C/run/current-system/profile/share=E2=80=9D.=C2=A0

On my system too. 2 times. Like this

...
/r= un/current-system/profile/share:
/home/my-user/.guix-profile/share:
/= run/current-system/profile/share

these are the last 3 val= ues
=C2=A0
Is this not en= ough to let Gnome
find the cursors?

It's not. I just = tried again. It crashes
=C2=A0

(The =E2=80=9Cadwaita-icon-theme=E2=80=9D package is installed in my system= profile.)

The first time I had not tha= t installed in my profile. And the crash was immediate.

W= ith that installed, it stumbles, it crashes at the second attempt

I've wondered about that bug for a while. I see that in the chat, the following blog post was also mentioned, which describes a little more about the problem: https://brokkr.net/2014/02/09/gnome-crashes-because-of-a-missing-icon/ Have you asked the GNOME devs or checked the GNOME email lists to see if this has been discussed? Unfortunate that simply adding the directory containing the icons to XDG_DATA_DIRS doesn't fix the problem. Maybe there's a different setting that needs to be configured? I'll bet the GNOME devs would know more... =2D-=20 Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEy/WXVcvn5+/vGD+x3UCaFdgiRp0FAli8sY0ACgkQ3UCaFdgi Rp3UlBAAupANeQlqnWti1TAziME4rLRi2kcriaOi2uzOwSfe7SmAK0Y/CqVpWrWJ ZLAF22KruOzwiLu5QxfdgFkNSaSTuaTHq6PrpB9TK8dDjOaH+01JM1sbaxC+ad11 zyXz4fULJhJALcLuS649qjWjXJcGrZtpOjsg3TR390ewJ/a4QWnoZX4Mf0uvBZ5k GRiXePwMg+r+Nyh3lTGAPFxh4xGlAEKcVqFBz15LYwB0xPRo4Eua7kUfue/2nY4C 4EUj6J0ZGeOe5zWqmma09gaD9tWJjI5v633IYT+YHHFzI+FymZZXn9HSYEttOc7m 9VYtJdPZyJq8Q1o9XKiCXCedggfLYk8syo7OjzgZFlELyUHkR2NkBYCjnd7OL+TI 9/si7kXRQuU4jabRYS7EJ8Jbd4SRD69NBjHZZKK0pwmrNvVh+Fg/O4/HgE1cbOrV ztwFlhvAgLMcVnZsNuKOXXUdDmiUkWavf+l5iAcLJxT1EAfpFFEim6jIOLh+ECC5 z5q3xJiTuB4X6xityyjW+ESCSUDI/HPAN5SKpSvVIwAvnES+GRGmoGquYsJEtj7D d0R6EK1SaITrIGP3tAMyThfRiEHZqsDuqRTjm8fXp7MjKfUAnLnlUtT3BQ+VDZUD lvhAvauw3tgoibW5lnwU/t+f5o1KjlizVgYJuQIqJKHJvhm6gnA= =KRZ+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
