Could you show the output of “uname -srvo” on this machine?  What
distribution does it run?

Also, from the top-level build directory, could you run:

  ./pre-inst-env strace -f -s 234 -o log \
     guix environment --container --ad-hoc --bootstrap guile-bootstrap \
     -- guile -c '(exit 42)'

and send the ‘log’ file (gzipped)?

Thanks for your report!

Ludo’.

Hi Ludovic,

$ uname -srvo
Linux 4.4.0-22-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 12 22:03:46 UTC 2016 GNU/Linux

The base system is Ubuntu 16.04, to which I added the Guix binary 
distribution 0.10.

$ guix environment guix

[dev] $ ./pre-inst-env strace -f -s 234 -o log guix environment 
--container --ad-hoc --bootstrap guile-bootstrap -- guile -c '(exit 42)'
guix environment: error: failed to connect to 
`/usr/local/var/guix/daemon-socket/socket': No such file or directory

The log file is attached, but I somehow suspect that the above error 
message already suggests what's going on - but not to me!

Konrad.

I'd guess that Ubuntu, like Debian, by default disables the unprivileged
creation of containers.

What is the value of '/proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone'?

I think this is unrelated.

If you followed the instructions in the manual while installing Guix
[0], then your daemon's socket should be in /var/guix. When building
Guix from the Git checkout, did you set the value of localstatedir like
this when configuring?

$ ./configure --localstatedir=/var

If not, it defaults to '/usr/local'. If that's what happened, can you
reconfigure as shown above, and try Ludo's command again?

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone

No. I just followed the instructions under "contributing" blindly.

I did:

$ ./configure --localstatedir=/var
$ make check

The environment test case still fails. Then again

[dev]$ ./pre-inst-env strace -f -s 234 -o log guix environment 
--container --ad-hoc --bootstrap guile-bootstrap -- guile -c '(exit 42)'

From teh log:

This then might be the same issue as discussed previously
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2016-05/msg00006.html

I managed to reproduce this using a binary download too on a different 
machine, I suspect that there is something Ubuntu/Xenial-specific at play.

A quick scan through the mqueue man pages suggests mq_notify(3):

"mq_notify - register for notification when a message is available

[...]

EBUSY  Another process has already registered to receive
notification for this message queue."
