Re: How to set global environment variables in Guix System

~/.pam_environment

I don't think we configure PAM to look at this by default. I'm not sure why GDM doesn't load ~/.profile (it may be right not to -- most of these files are abused). I'd never heard of ~/.xprofile.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, I think a way to let user

but I do not find a way to do so.

customize /etc/environment through the system config will be useful,

Also, IIRC blindly plonking

 (session-environment-service-type '(("FOO" . "bar")))





 (define environment-service-type
   (service-type (name 'environment)
                 (default-value '())
                 (extensions
                  (list (service-extension
                         session-environment-service-type
                         identity)))))

Then use it in your services field:

 (service environment-service-type
          '(("GTK_IM_MODULE" . "ibus")
            ("QT_IM_MODULE" . "ibus")
            ...))

I hope that helps,

That already exists, but it seems to be wholly undocumented(?). Boo. into your services would only get you the ‘duplicate service’ error. It's meant to be extended. First, define this in your system.scm (above your operating-system):
