Subject: “inappropriate ioctl for device” when running in RStudio Server
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2022 11:24:19 +0200

When running “guix” in RStudio Server the “terminal-window-size”
procedure triggers an error.  (You can ignore the cause of the error,
because I’m running this in a container where
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/rekado doesn’t exist.)

Here yousee that the call to terminal-window-size fails because the
RStudio Server IDE in the web browser is not a true TTY.
“terminal-window-size” should fail gracefully.

I think this is a duplicate of 57095.
