as reported on #guix on 2024-04-01:

https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2024-04-01.log#121908

the following alias (a default in ubuntu) is not quoted properly:

notify-send --urgency=low -i "$([ $? = 0 ] && echo terminal || echo error)" "$(history|tail -n1|sed -e '\''s/^\s*[0-9]\+\s*//;s/[;&|]\s*alert$//'\'')"

which leads to an error when opening a new terminal after a `guix home reconfigure`.

copying for reference from the paste:

(home-bash-configuration
  (aliases '(("alert" . "notify-send --urgency=low -i \"$([ $? = 0 ] && echo terminal || echo error)\" \"$(history|tail -n1|sed -e '\\''s/^\\s*[0-9]\\+\\s*//;s/[;&|]\\s*alert$//'\\'')\"")
             )))

“I do not think that it is possible to give any meaningful definition of anarchy by which it could exist but currently does not. Anarchists are not those who wish that there be anarchy, but those who reason along anarchist lines about what there currently is, what there was and what could there possibly be.”
