Broken KDE initialization with `guix home`

2022-05-13 Thread Philip McGrath
Hi, I'm trying to start using `guix home` on a fairly fresh install of Kubuntu 22.04 with SDDM and the KDE Plasma Wayland session. I'm running in to some problems when the session starts up: I suspect some environment variables may not be getting set when they need to be, but the symptoms

*thinking noises* Hm, Your message did seem to imply you already got the installer ISO somehow, from a GNU mirror if I had to guess. Is that correct? I usually recommend using the 'latest' installer as 1.3.0 is over a year old now, but the former isn't mirrored AFAIK and the latter should

IceWM for Guix System
