On a bare bones server system I am trying to add a user and use the guix
home environment
(https://guix.gnu.org/manual/1.5.0/en/html_node/Home-Configuration.html).
Running...
guix home import ~/src/guix-config
guix home reconfigure ~/src/guix-config/home-configuration.scm
Produces the error:
shepherd: error: cannot access directory of socket
'/run/user/981/shepherd/socket': No such file or directory
Logging out and back in with:
su - USERNAME
Produces the warning:
warning: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR doesn't exists, on-first-login script
won't execute anything. You can check if xdg runtime directory exists,
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable is set to appropriate value and manually
execute the
script by running '$HOME/.guix-home/on-first-login'
If my reading is correct /run/user/981 (XDG_RUNTIME_DIR) is created (and
maintained?) by elogind which is dependent on dbus. Can I just manually
create them (or specify them in my system's config.scm) or does the guix
home environment have other dependencies on elogind and dbus that means
that if I want to use it I should just install them also?
Cheers,
W
