Hello!

Thank you for taking time with this issue.

After loading the AppArmor profile from your message, I am able to execute “guix 
shell -C hello”.

However, when trying to combine the "shell" command with the "time-machine" 
command, like so:

"guix time-machine --channels=.guix/channels.scm -- shell -C hello"

I get an access denied error on the ".guix/channels.scm" file which I own and 
have access to.

I tried to play around with the AppArmor profile, but with no success. Are we 
still missing something?

Best,
Marek
