Hello,

Steffen Rytter Postas <nc <at> scalehost.eu> skribis:

Without ‘-C’, the Jupyter terminal is indeed working for me:

  guix environment --ad-hoc jupyter python-ipython python-ipykernel \
     bash coreutils --pure -- jupyter notebook

(Though for some reason IceCat displays white boxes instead of the
actual characters in the terminal, unless I zoom in or out.  But that’s
another problem…)

I could reproduce the problem, and AFAICS commit
935e79af61f4d903e562362cdd828be807e15581 fixes it.

Let me know if it’s all fine now!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
