Hi !

I do have the same problem here, and have found a temporary fix to allow
finishing the reconfiguration.

If you `herd stop root` before reconfiguring home, the `guix home
reconfigure` should finish, with an error, but allowing the
reconfiguration.

Just in case it might be helpful for developers :
The error happends in the `activate profile` phase, when herd and
shepherd are involved.

The reconfiguration actually works when there is no service-type related
to a herd service in the configuration (here it was the case with dbus I
think).

Good luck,

Nicolas

Hi,

it seems that the attached patch should fix this.

Indeed, this can be reproduced like so:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ herd load root /gnu/store/1xx98q22c6ijr0p5pjbq3wnxd5yyxlmy-shepherd.conf

(‘guix home reconfigure’ invokes the same command as above.)

The problem is that ‘start-in-the-background’ returns zero values, as
indicated above, but shepherd expects user commands to return one value.

So the fix, as you suggest, is to return one value at the end of
shepherd.conf.

You suggested redirecting stdin, which is also a good idea, but for a
different reason.  :-)  Anyway I’ve done both.

  dd2ab92d9d home: shepherd: Redirect input port to /dev/null.
  bc867b2ab0 home: shepherd: "shepherd.conf" returns one value.

Thank you!

Ludo’.
