You probably don’t want to fix that part of your `.profile` issues using `.bashrc`. It should be in the profile. I’m currently having issues on foreign distributions because the wrong `guix` is available when running `guix copy` over SSH. Troubleshooting the login shell issues is tricky, since you need to login/logout. That’s one reason why i had set up a console-specific emacs profile: so i could fix this from one TTY and test in another. I listed some useful aliases for diffing profile paths in this post here: [How do I get Guix to have flatpak application show up in the applications menu whenever I install a flatpak application? - #11 by aionfork](https://forum.systemcrafters.net/t/how-do-i-get-guix-to-have-flatpak-application-show-up-in-the-applications-menu-whenever-i-install-a-flatpak-application/1897/11) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.systemcrafters.net/t/guix-home-container-has-expected-packages-but-the-actual-home-shell-does-not/2056)._
