Foreign Distribution - how to disable guix home configuration?

[Roland Everaert via]

Hello,

Since I have updated my fedora box from version 34 to version 35, the libry path is messed up and most applications installed via dnf (fedora package manager) does not run.

In a terminal (only xterm works so far), starting one of those failing application output a symbol lookup error with a path to a library in the /gnu/store, so far I only see reference to libpthread.

I suspect guix home to be the culprit, so, I would like to ensure it is not started, to confirm or not my suspition.

So, what is the best way to disable/deactivate it?

Is there a command in guix to do so?

IIUC your ~/.profile should contain something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
HOME_ENVIRONMENT=$HOME/.guix-home
. $HOME_ENVIRONMENT/setup-environment
$HOME_ENVIRONMENT/on-first-login
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So the way to ‘deactivate’ guix home would be to delete these lines as
these are run during login.

Best
