Hello,
Here is what I got on my end when running guix home:
> Loading /gnu/store/p74aw384nqzlw73ccr0167lyj8vlj3mr-shepherd.conf.
> herd: exception caught while executing 'load' on service 'root':
> In procedure fport_write: Broken pipe
I have same output when running ~herd load root~.
> > herd load root /gnu/store/p74aw384nqzlw73ccr0167lyj8vlj3mr-shepherd.conf
> Loading /gnu/store/p74aw384nqzlw73ccr0167lyj8vlj3mr-shepherd.conf.
> herd: exception caught while executing 'load' on service 'root':
> In procedure fport_write: Broken pipe
And the content of sheperd.conf is:
> (begin (use-modules (srfi srfi-34) (system repl error-handling)) (apply
> register-services (map (lambda (file) (load file)) (quote
> ("/gnu/store/amvwc8ljsw4v6035q5hi9wlrj5kdi8qv-shepherd-emacs-server.scm"))))
> (action (quote root) (quote daemonize)) (format #t "Starting services...~%")
> (let ((services-to-start (quote (emacs-server)))) (if (defined? (quote
> start-in-the-background)) (start-in-the-background services-to-start)
> (for-each start services-to-start)) (redirect-port (open-input-file
> "/dev/null") (current-input-port))))
Watching the log of shepherd, I have only this line:
> 2022-04-26 18:27:48 Loading
> /gnu/store/p74aw384nqzlw73ccr0167lyj8vlj3mr-shepherd.conf.
