My system administrator just installed guix for me thanks to it being so easy on Ubuntu.
To show it off, I wanted to make a quick demonstration to a colleague on how it makes it easy to create a reproducible python environment using `guix shell`. That command didn't seem to exist on the version of guix available from ubuntu (1.3.0). Not anticipating any problems, I thought I just needed to run `guix pull`.

That errored out for me at the "computing derivation" stage the first time I ran it.

Thankfully, running `guix pull` again immediately afterwards worked. This left me with the following familiar output.
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
building profile with 1 package...
hint: Consider setting the necessary environment variables by running:
GUIX_PROFILE="/home/u548962/.config/guix/current"
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
Alternately, see `guix package --search-paths -p "/home/u548962/.config/guix/current"'.
hint: After setting `PATH', run `hash guix' to make sure your shell refers to `/home/u548962/.config/guix/current/bin/guix'.
#+END_QOUTE
Being that this is a foreign distro, I thought I needed to run the hint lines to get the updated guix executable in my current terminal.
Instead, now I see:
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
me@ubuntu:~$ GUIX_PROFILE="/home/me/.config/guix/current"
me@ubuntu:~$ . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
me@ubuntu:~$ hash guix

I was hopeful, but now the guix command does nothing at all.
