Update: I decided to check the latest git master commit to see if the
docs had changed. I found some
thing about controlling the keyboard
layout, and I found more examples in the guix-help archives. This is
the 'services' field that I ended up using:
(services (cons* (console-keymap-service "dvorak")
(gnome-desktop-service)
(xfce-desktop-service)
(modify-services %desktop-services
(slim-service-type config =>
(slim-configuration
(inherit config)
(
startx (xorg-start-command
#:configuration-file
(xorg-configuration-file
#:extra-config
'("Section \"InputClass\"
Identifier \"keyboard-all\"
Option \"XkbLayout\" \"dvorak\"
MatchIsKeyboard \"on\"
EndSection")
This successfully fixed the problem in the login manager. (GNOME, of
course, had to be configured separately.)

Re: Can't configure guix, no guile-sqlite3
I have a similar issue. > which guix /run/current-system/profile/bin/guix > guix edit guix # The package definition is in # /home/ambrevar/.config/guix/latest/gnu/packages/package-management.scm So guix is using "latest" instead of "current". I suppose that if `guix' is not in my user profile, then the system guix has to be updated via a `guix system reconfigure`. Correct? Or should `sudo guix pull` be enough? -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Could you run ‘guix edit guix’ to double-check? Perhaps you need to run “hash guix” (in Bash) or something? HTH, Ludo’.

I personally never figured that issue out. Right now I'm running Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, and I've got guix installed on it...
