it seems guix-daemon service is not running: can you check it?

you should see a process like this one:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(anemone)address@hidden:~$ ps aux | grep guix-daemon
root      2444  0.0  0.0  12216   412 ?        Ss   Mar22   0:00 
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon 
--build-users-group=guixbuild
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I installed Guix on Debian with the binary installation bash script
provided upstream and it installed the right systemd service; if
guix-daemon is not running on your system you should double check the
manual

HTH! Gio'
