Re: guix environment: error: cannot create container: unprivileged user cannot create user namespaces

[Yasuaki Kudo]

Hi everyone!

I use both:

* Guix System with Linux(non-Libre) Kernel, straight on my desktop PC

* Guix System on Linux subsystem on Windows 10 (https://github.com/giuliano108/guix-packages/blob/master/notes/Guix-on-WSL2.md) on Microsoft Surface Book

and both started to exhibit the same problem with the commitid I reported.

When switch to the commit id immediately before that, the problem goes away.

I tried to set the number as mentioned but I could not figure out how to do it...  Do you know how to do this on Guix System?

Cheers,

Yasu

Have you tried to do the recommandation?

   please set /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone to "1"

As root:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone

Yes, it is common on Debian and such.
