I would like to test this more, but my system is busy running "guix
system reconfigure", and it doesn't look like it'll finish any time
soon. Shame on me for running "guix pull" first! Heh.
Anyway, I will test this and get back to you before the end of the
weekend. I don't think "type the root password" is a great work-around,
since on my machines, I prefer not to give root a password, and rely on
sudo instead. Network Manager ought to be able to automatically connect
to a wireless network; there must be a reason why the authentication
(for checking the "automatically connect" box) is not working, but I
don't know what it is yet.

string-append plus package
Hi, I'm confused about string-append working inconsistently: In package definitions, I'm used to write '(string-append PKG "…")'. But when I use this for defining a service, I get an error: In procedure string-append: Wrong type (expecting string): # What is going on here?

In my tests has worked the automatic WIFI connection in GNOME, I would like to do tests in XFCE. On the other hand I have noticed the following: * In the case of the wired connection, appears connected but does not give the internet, it is necessary to turn the button on and off(May be required dhcp service?). * The connection speed is slower, I have not yet reviewed this; And I'm not sure if it's just on my machine. As soon as I can do the tests and will comment the results. Thanks

So what’s the conclusion here?
If Network Manager works as expected, we should consider adding it to
‘%desktop-services’.
Thanks,
