<profile> unbound variable

[digash]

I've got pretty far in the steps, but got stuck on this error:

/etc # guix system reconfigure --no-bootloader ./wsl-config.scm
ice-9/eval.scm:223:20: In procedure proc:
error: <profile>: unbound variable
hint: Did you forget a `use-modules' form?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Ehy @digash , I had a look but could not reproduce the issue. 😕

I tried to bring up a Guix WSL distro from scratch following the procedure, it worked as expected. Are you're sure you set the GUIX_PROFILE variable correctly and sourced $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile, before starting the daemon and carrying on with the rest of the steps.

The last phases of my test (guix pull before guix system reconfigure).

thanks for reply. I will try from scratch next week and see if I messed up in some step. Strange error though. Do you know why it would not be able to find ?
