Hi, according to the cookbook I added -------------------------------------------- for i in $GUIX_EXTRA_PROFILES/*; do profile=$i/$(basename "$i") if [ -f "$profile"/etc/profile ]; then GUIX_PROFILE="$profile" . "$GUIX_PROFILE"/etc/profile fi unset profile done ----------------------------------------------- into my .bash_profile file in order to enable all profiles at login time: ------------------------------------------------ My .bash_profile file looks now like that: # Honor per-interactive-shell startup file if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi for i in $GUIX_EXTRA_PROFILES/*; do profile=$i/$(basename "$i") if [ -f "$profile"/etc/profile ]; then GUIX_PROFILE="$profile" . "$GUIX_PROFILE"/etc/profile fi unset profile done ----------------------------------------------- but when starting MATE Desktop all my profiles are not enabled. Could somebody help because probably the two entries in my .bash_profile got a mistake. -- Kind regards Gottfried
