This is very odd.  Can you paste the output of:

cat /gnu/store/dp8ywhh22n8ixikqdvsb6w6qbn4iw899-environment.drv ?

Does it make any difference if you drop --image-size (which is now
autodetected) and/or --share?

Do you get the same error if you don't use "./pre-inst-env"?

What does 'git describe' output in your repository?

Ok, so in running

sudo -E guix ...

I had messed up my installation, so guix pull didn't work anymore

I think I fixed it now

guix pull ust worked, I reconfigured my system

but this still happens

thank you

that didn't help :-/

Re: system vm fails

[Catonano]

and from a checked out gix I get

~/projects/guix$ sudo ./pre-inst-env guix pull
guix pull: error: Guile-Git is missing but it is now required by 'guix
pull'.
Install it by running:

  guix package -i guile-git
  export

  export
GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache:$GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH

I just realized that

sudo guix pull

gives me

guix pull: error: could not find bootstrap binary 'guile-2.0.9.tar.xz' for
system 'x86_64-linux'

last time I used

sudo -E guix pull

that's why the help liist exists, no bother :-)

Sounds like your daemon is not running

Wold you mind to paste the otput of

ps -e | grep guix

In case it's not running, thhere's an excerpt in the manual about how to
make it run

It's the step no. 5 in the "Binaty Installation" chapter

It's strange that your daemon is not running

Maybe you used the experimental script in order to install your guix ?

Anyway, paste te output of that line, then we'll see how to procede

Hope this hepls !
Ciao :-)

Re: Failed to connect to `/var/guix/daemon-socket/socket': Connection refused

[shack]

Hello, Eric,

The Guix daemon was active and enabled when I checked systemctl, and a
daemon reload didn't work, either.
A reboot seemed to do the trick, at least I was able to successfully run 'guix 
build guix' after that.

But now when I try to run 'guix pull' to update my packages, I get:

Updating from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
guix pull: error: mkdir: Permission denied

guix pull works as the root user (or at least it runs, I'm still waiting
to see if it exits with no errors), but not as 'sudo' from my non-root
account (that one just spits out a somewhat lengthy error that I cannot
remember by heart)
