Hi,

OK.

[...]

Hmm OK.  I’m not sure what’s going on; are you sure ‘rygel’ is in $PATH
when shepherd starts?

Anyway, this looks like “not-a-bug” from the perspective of Guix.
WDYT?

BTW, I’d encourage you to write a service for Guix Home for Rygel and to
use Guix Home (*then* if you have problems that’ll be a bug from the
perspective of Guix :-)).

Thanks,
Ludo’.
