Hi,
Running Guix on the top of Ubuntu, GDM refuses to log in if the package
“python-scipy” is installed and its profile sourced.
Basically, consider
mkdir -p ~/.config/guix/profiles
guix package -i python-scipy -p ~/.config/guix/profiles/python
Then also consider that the file ~/.bash_profile contains:
Toggle snippet (4 lines)
GUIX_PROFILE=~/.config/guix/profiles/python
. $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile
which basically export:
Toggle snippet (7 lines)
export PATH="${GUIX_PROFILE:-/gnu/store/qij79rxcr8jpjzh1rqv63ckajvivdxfn-profile}/bin${PATH:+:}$PATH"
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="${GUIX_PROFILE:-/gnu/store/qij79rxcr8jpjzh1rqv63ckajvivdxfn-profile}/share${XDG_DATA_DIRS:+:}$XDG_DATA_DIRS"
export GI_TYPELIB_PATH="${GUIX_PROFILE:-/gnu/store/qij79rxcr8jpjzh1rqv63ckajvivdxfn-profile}/lib/girepository-1.0${GI_TYPELIB_PATH:+:}$GI_TYPELIB_PATH"
export GUIX_PYTHONPATH="${GUIX_PROFILE:-/gnu/store/qij79rxcr8jpjzh1rqv63ckajvivdxfn-profile}/lib/python3.9/site-packages${GUIX_PYTHONPATH:+:}$GUIX_PYTHONPATH"
Well, I do not know where does the issue come from. From my
understanding, the issue is potentially because GI_TYPELIB_PATH.

And note that ’python-scipy’ propagates X11, for some reasons.
