Sorry we didn't find an easier solution. I'm glad it's working now.
I got it working by reinstalling Trisquel 7 :/
Fixed by reinstalling Trisquel 7 :/ bleh ... Thanks for trying to help
I have been using ADFENO's technique in Trisquel 7 Seven for quite some
time.
Okay, I'm out of ideas except for uninstalling Guix completely and
reinstalling. Unfortunately I can't find anything in the documentation about
uninstalling. A fresh install of T7 would work as a last resort.
Maybe ADFENO will stop by and save the day. In the meantime, you might try
the
This message was when I got Guix riunning in Trisquel 8 ... I went to
Trisquel 7 now :/
On step 4 I goto
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Build-Environment-Setup.html#Build-Environment-Setup
typing "guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild" gives the error "bash:
guix-daemon: command not found"
Maybe thats the issue? How do I get this to work on Trisquel 7?
You can also try to install an application which is known to have such
menu entries, I have a list which might interest you:
emacs
enigma
gajim
gimp
gnucash
icecat
inkscape
pidgin
synfigstudio
This is not a complete list, they are just suggestions.

It sounds like the desktop files are missing, which explains why they aren't
showing up in menus and Synapse. Now we just have to figure out how to get
them back.
Did you reinstall Guix after returning to Trisquel 7, or is this the current
install from when you were using Trisquel 8?
Try
I dont see a applications folder in "~/.guix-profile/share" ... reinstalling
doesn't create the folder. Also the programs installed from Guix, arent
visible via Synapse ... ugh... what happened?
Just double checking that it matches what's in the ${XDG_DATA_DIRS} output.
It does, so that's not the problem.
Try checking the contents of '~/.guix-profile/share/applications' Do you see
desktop files for the applications you expect to appear in the menu?
If no, try reinstalling one of
Its "/home/davidpgil/.guix-profile"
Why?
Yes, I also think that's where the Mate stuff is from, but as long as
/home/davidpgil/.guix-profile/share
is in there I don't see why that would matter
What is the output of$ echo ${GUIX_PROFILE}?
I am hoping the icons for the programs i install would appear in the pull
down menu. When I was using Trisquel 8, ADFENOs technique worked. But in
Trisquel 7, that doesn't work.
Mine looks like this:
export
Mine looks like this in Trisquel 8
/usr/share/mate:/usr/share/mate:/home/mason/.guix-profile/share:/usr/share/mate:/usr/share/mate:/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/var/lib/snapd/desktop
I think /home/mason/.guix-profile/share was added by ADFENO's steps.
ADFENO's solution worked fine back when I
I'm having issues getting this to work in Trisquel 7 ... What does your XDG
output look like? I think mine may be messed up somehow.
Big hugs, ADFENO! You are so diligent. Thank you!
You're welcome! :)
You're welcome! :)
It was an amazing answer Adfeno :).
I am glad everything is working now mason :)
All of that worked perfectly. Thanks for your help.
Hi all,
I just came back from a turbulence on the email service provider I use,
so I'll try to answer the questions as best as I can:
1. I'll split it in two:
1. Make packages appear as simple terminal commands: For this to
work, the PATH variable must reference to important places
Does that mean I should add export
GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale to '~/.profile' instead of
executing it in the terminal? If so what should be different after I do that?
I don't know what it looks like when Guix is working correctly so I don't
know how to check if something

When you do the EXPORT you should be able to launch software installed with
Guix by just typing "program" you installed hello so just type
$ hello
It should run.
If you puth the export in your PATH you should be able to do this and
probably see the icons of the programs on the menu of your
I've done step 8. When I run guix package -i glibc-locales I get guile:

1.- You have no add Guix to your PATH and reboot
2.- No this is not possible, you could install Emacs with Guix and then
launch this Emacs and it will have installed the necessary packages to use it

3.- I am not sure, it is possible. You can look for all the installed
Guix was recommended to me as a solution to a particular problem in another
thread, and it seems promising in general. I have enough questions that it
seemed worth opening a new thread.

Synaptic it is immediately
