Hi Catonano :) I don't know if I can help, but here'is my own configuration, maybe it can work for you:
# guix package -i setxkbmap setxkbmap is now installed. Then I just added this line (console-keymap-service "fr") into %desktop-services: # vim /etc/config.scm _________________________________________________________________ ;; Add GNOME and/or Xfce---we can choose at the log-in ;; screen with F1. Use the "desktop" services, which ;; include the X11 log-in service, networking with Wicd, ;; and more. (services (cons* (gnome-desktop-service) (xfce-desktop-service) (console-keymap-service "fr") %desktop-services)) _________________________________________________________________ Reconfiguration of 'config.scm' # guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm After the reboot, I choice "fr" in the gnome session and it works. Hope it's helpfull...
