Hello swedebugia,

swedebugia <swedebugia <at> riseup.net> skribis:

> Steps to reproduce:
> Install 0.14
> Init system with user a
> Login root
> Guix pull
> Make sure it has right paths to .config/guix/current
> Reconfigure with new user b
> Reboot
> Login user b
>
> When logging in slim? populates the dot-files and a  .guix-profile is created with path to old guix. No .config/guix/current exist. 

~/.config/guix/current is created by the new ‘guix pull’.  So when
coming from 0.14, you actually need to run it twice: the first run will
give you the new ‘guix pull’, and the second run will actually run the
new code and create ~/.config/guix/current.

Could it be the reason you didn’t see ~/.config/guix/current?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
