Re: Access to nongnu channel

[Timothy Washington <twashing@gmail.com>]

That's interesting. Thanks for your feedback. Using sudo in both
invocations, does a successful "guix pull". But has the same failure on
"guix system reconfigure".

$ sudo guix pull
...

$ sudo guix system reconfigure system.scm
guix system: error: failed to load 'system.scm':
ice-9/boot-9.scm:3330:6: In procedure resolve-interface:
no code for module (nongnu packages linux)


But then calling "guix pull" without sudo, fails

$ guix pull
...

$ guix system reconfigure system.scm
guix system: error: failed to load 'system.scm':
ice-9/boot-9.scm:3330:6: In procedure resolve-interface:
no code for module (nongnu packages linux)


=> However, I seem to get further along when I specify "channels.scm".
After adding "(guix profiles)" to the "use-modules" in system.scm...

(use-modules (gnu)
             (nongnu packages linux)
             (guix profiles))


I get a bit further, where guix can't find another form... *Which package
has "manifest->packages" ?*

$ guix pull --channels=channels.scm
...

$ guix system reconfigure system.scm
/home/twashing/dotfiles/system.scm:36:6: error: manifest->packages: unbound
variable
hint: Did you forget a `use-modules' form?


NOTE: Updated system.scm

(use-modules (gnu)
             (nongnu packages linux)
             (guix profiles))
