Hi,
I managed to update my packages in my default profile without updating
"caja-extensions"
So now I would like to install "lightdm"
----------------------------------------------------------------
I added one line in my config.scm:
(services
(append
(list (service mate-desktop-service-type)
(service enlightenment-desktop-service-type)
(service xfce-desktop-service-type)
(service lightdm-service-type)
(service cups-service-type

(web-interface? #t)
(extensions (list cups-filters

(service openssh-service-type)
(service tor-service-type)
(set-xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))

it seems that I need to add something in my config.scm concerning lightdm.
Unfortunately I don’t know what to add.
At the beginning of the file there should be a list of imported modules,
you should add something like
<snip>
(use-modules (gnu services lightdm))
<snap>
Which is the Guile module in which the symbol `lightdm-service-type' is
defined, without that Guile won't know how to relate that symbol to any
meaningful value.
If you want to find where a service is defined you could use the emacs
interface for Guix: typing 'M-x guix RET s a' gives you a list of
clickable service names, when you click on one of them useful info pops
up. There's probably a way to do it with the command-line interface, but
I'm not familiar with that.
I hope this helps :)
