Hi Leo,

here is the `guix desribe` run as my normal user account.

```
[roman@m1 guix-home]$ guix describe

```

As this user I usually run the following command to reconfigure my
system.

```
sudo guix system reconfigure -L modules modules/r0man/guix/system/m1.scm
-v 5
```

I don't use the -i flag when reconfiguring. Is that problematic?

So here's the guix describe I usually get when I'm reconfiguring my
system:

[roman@m1 guix-home]$ sudo guix describe
  asahi 2a6f8b5
    repository URL: https://github.com/asahi-guix/channel
    branch: main
    commit: 2a6f8b59d97a3451639f128ff1c53d9009897e45
  guix 5d6c876
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: 5d6c8767f67885bc9b2c8f18ab1f667d0065346b
  nonguix 565d287
    repository URL: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix
    branch: master
    commit: 565d287b7502ef9435b2fba38622d0a8f458677b
  r0man-guix 9bb5571
    repository URL: https://github.com/r0man/guix-channel
    branch: main
    commit: 9bb55710a8dc61a23c6cc4e8d2bcdc9503008492

And this is the "guix describe" with the -i flag:

[roman@m1 guix-home]$ sudo -i guix describe
  guix 121e96d
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: 121e96dca273ab407df11725da0026ee34abdf79

Reconfiguring with the -i flag does not work, because I'm missing some
modules from the channels that aren't listed there.

I'm also linking my config, just in case:

Thanks for your help, Roman.
