[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

guix pull fails for a 4 days at least with the same error:

fish: Unknown command: nix
fish:
nix show-derivation
"/home/shegeley/.cache/.fr-sqOEpp/273vsd5gv1ch73ayih504s5wcxvysq-module-import-compiled.drv"

I had nix-service-type enabled and I had this problem. Then I disabled it
(with remove-service...), reconfigured the system. Same error message and
problem. Cleaned the thrash (guix gc) and tried to pull without
substitutes. Same result each time.

That's an error message from fish, not from guix.

Why is fish trying to run nix on Guix System?
Maybe you configured fish to interpret output lines containing ".drv"?

Maxime.

To figure out the issue, we need the log.

Hm...
I just use the "default" fish as home-service and it's set as my user's
shell... I will try to change them both to bash and try again. Maybe that's
a "non standard-shell" issue.
Will update later.

Ok. Now it's /gnu/store/87kif0bpf0anwbsaw0jvg8fyciw4sz67-bash-5.0.16/bin/bash:
nix: command not found. With bash...
I have no idea what's going on here. Guess there are some
nix-interpopability that fails somewhere.
Also: noticed that all associated nix-directories (~/nix-profile, ...)
exist, have root chown, and are not empty. There is even a spotify that I
installed with nix earlier, in ~/.nix-profile/bin. Although I removed nix
from services and packages in my system-wide config.

Deleted the .nix-profile and all the nix-related stuff from my home-dir,
reconfigured the system, pulled again. Same problem.

This is very weird, because:

1. what's a derivation doing in $HOME?
2. This would mean that, while compiling some guile modules, fish is
invoked and fish is calling nix. But nix and fish are not involved at
all when compiling guile modules. (The only mention of 'fish' in the
source code is in shell completions.)
3. How did $HOME get leaked to the builder?
4. How did 'show-derivation' appear in the builder? There's no mention
of 'show-derivation' anywhere in guix' source code.

Greetings,
Maxime.

It turns out to be these lines:

                         (message (format #f (G_ "'~a~{ ~a~}' exited \
with status ~a; output follows:~%~%~{  ~a~%~}")

It seems like the reader isn't parsing the \ escape properly somehow.

But which guile version, which reader (guile has two due to $REASONS),
...

TBI ...

Here's a minimal reproducer:

Run the following in a REPL:
(call-with-input-string "\"Hello\\\rcarriage return!\"" read).

Alternatively, run guile -l c.scm on the attached file.

In both cases, you'll get

Thanks for your research.
Any ideas on how to fix it? I would change the file itself, but /gnu/store

Although I was able to "guix pull" with "sudo", as root user normally. As
far as I know guix pull updates only per-user when called.
Can I use the result from root somehow?

The file isn't broken; it looks like a bug in Guile, so to fix things,
Guile needs to be fixed.

Though I don't know why you encounter the bug but I don't when doing a
"guix pull".

Maxime.

Determine the full store path of root's guix & run that.

I tried different approaches to copy guix-related stuff from root to my
user and failed each time. I mean: I've failed each time with almost the
same error as at the beginning except for the log was about escape sequence
from the very beginning.

After the last letter my laptop's motherboard broke. It was replaced
recently but all the data was lost from the SSD due to encryption...
TLDR: I made a backup and reinstalled the system.
But the problem still persists. How can I safely move root's profile into
the user's one?  Tinkering with any root-related things is a danger zone
for me, so I won't do anything on my own until there are any clear
instructions.
As previously: from root "guix pull" works perfectly. From users it has the
same problem (nix-related error).

You could try deleting /var/guix/profiles/per-user/$USER and running
"$THE_GUIX_OF_ROOT pull" and "$guix install ...". I don't see why that
wouldn't work, but I've never tried it and 0 warranty.

Could you search for "show-derivation" in the back-up? E.g. with grep -
rF show-derivation. Maybe there's a leftover from when you used nix
somewhere ...

Encountered same problem again on both machines (recently installed guix on
laptop and an old desktop PC of mine).

Seems like the problems arise after home reconfiguration. Still can pull
successfully from the root user.

On "usual user" I have to move all my stuff from home to a separate
directory.

cd ~; mkdir vault; mv * vault; mv .* vault;

Then guix pull works. Of course all the home configuration content is lost.
And I have to reconfigure my home.  And then recover all files except for
".guix-home" and etc. from the "vault" dir.

I wondered that happens because of wrong lang/locale settings, So I even
forced them in my user's config:

(simple-service 'some-useful-env-vars-service
                        home-environment-variables-service-type
                        `(("LC_ALL" . "en_US.UTF-8")
                          ("LANG" . "en_US.UTF-8")
                          ("GDM_LANG" . "en_US.UTF-8")
                          ("LANGUAGE" . "en_US")
                          ("EDITOR" . "emacs")))

Still the same problem.

See <https://debbugs.gnu.org/server-control.html> for how to re-open.

What is the ‘same problem’ here?  IIRC, there were two separate
problems.

Do you mean this one:

  Unknown command: nix fish: nix show-derivation "~/.fr-sqOEpp/....
  module-import-compiled.drv"

> Seems like the problems arise after home reconfiguration. Still can

I didn't know you were using "guix home", was this also the case in the
original report?  This seems potentially relevant information.  The
exact contents of the home configuration (with personal information
removed and preferably reduced to a minimal test case) could be useful
to investigate the issue.

Or was ‘same problem’ the following
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52559#15>?

Maxime.

I reassigned the bug to Guile since that is were the issue appears to
