This ~/.guile template is for new installs, to adequately deal with
missing (ice-9 readline).
People who already had a ~/.guile have to adjust it or install
guile-readline, we can’t do that for them.

Привет Jone,

Не бойтесь задавать вопросы здесь или IRC канале #guix на freenode. :-)
Если документация нуждается в дополении или разъяснении какой-то темы,
пожалуйста скажите от этом!

Документация в форматах ‘texinfo’ не похожа на формат ‘wiki’. Страницы
‘wiki’ крупных дистрибутивов GNU/Linux чаще всего являются “howto”
сделать X с помощью Y. Однако такой подход не дает знаний о X и Y.
Если посмотреть на NixOS, то у них были официальные страницы ‘wiki’, но
они пришли к выводу описанному мной выше и прекратили ее поддержку.

Действительно, никакой другой официальной документации кроме мануала
нет, и это, в общем, политика Guix: "если что-то нуждается в
документировании, то это должно быть в мануале" (ну, что-то в этом
духе). Так что, как сказал Олег, если вам что-либо не понятно,
пожалуйста, спрашивайте и не стесняйтесь сообщить, если считаете, что
что-нибудь в мануале должно быть улучшено/исправлено/дополнено.
Создание же отдельных "howto" или wiki не планируется, хотя есть
несколько неофициальных источников, например:
https://gitlab.com/rain1/guix-wiki/wikis/home
https://gitlab.com/pjotrp/guix-notes
Concise translation: Jone said that the manual is not an easy read and
unfortunately there are no HOWTOs. Oleg and I answered that the manual
is indeed the only official source of documentation and people are
always welcome to improve it in any way.

No need to apologize, I was not blaming you

That's something ;-)
For now I used the VMs to open 2 bugs related to Gnome.
There's an "ibus" thing not working
And a control panel crashing
Didn't test your new file yet, I'll let you know !!
Thanks !

But it only affects Gnome ! Xfce works gets configured ! Do they manage the session differently ? Anyway, thank you people.
ttyS0
I have this couple of lines in my configuration (service agetty-service-type (agetty-configuration (tty "ttyS0"))) When I launch the VM I see a lot off stu scrolling on ttyS0 But then, when I try to login, I get these error messages -bash: impossibile impostare il gruppo di processi del terminale (341): ioctl non appropriata per il device -bash: nessun controllo dei job in questa shell It says: -bash: the setup of the group of processes of the terminal (341) is impossible: ioctl not suited for the device -bash: no jobs control in this shell This is not vital. I can live without this It's just that I'd like to be able to log in through the host terminal Thanks
