Installing python-ipython breaks Gnome on Fedora. |

Fri, 12 Jan 2018 21:32:26 +0000 |
* Environment
I am currently running Guix on top of Fedora 26, which comes with Gnome 3.24.2
As recommended(1), I source *~/.guix-profile/etc/profile* in *~/.bash_profile*
to make all the exported variables recognized by login shell.
* Issue
After installing python-ipython with guix, guix exported the following
variables:
GUIX_GTK3_PATH
PKG_CONFIG_PATH
The next time I login, Gnome was broken, displaying nothing but a black screen,
except for Owncloud client(which is based on Qt). And all the key bindings
are gone.
So, I used tty to move the `source` command from *.bash_profile* to *.bashrc*.
After that, Gnome came back and functions as usual.
* Version
$: guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) d9a38cc255d853b2694a01b5704c1daedbb56742

That's been fixed in guix-install.sh with
23aafc800c9e678662766440916449ec5bbce830 from Philip McGrath (thanks!):
"etc/guix-install.sh: Initialize XDG base directories."
I've confirmed it fixes the original problem, which was that installing
'python-ipython' would break a GDM login to GNOME on Fedora, by
installing the latest Guix via guix-install.sh on a Fedora 33 VM I had
laying around, then 'guix install python-ipython', logout, then re-login
without an issue.
Closing!
