/etc/config.scm issues after modifying
https://paste.debian.net/1327458 Getting this error: /etc/config.scm:23:0 : error: %desktop-services: invalid field specifier I made these modifications trying to 1) not use substitutes and compile from source and add bspwm so that I can login into it via the default login manager. Is this not really correct way to do this or am I going about it the wrong way? Sent from my iPhone
Shepherd init
I’m wondering if shepherds init system can be used by other operating systems besides GUIX. Is it possible or is it mainly for GUIX. Sent from my iPhone
Trying to understand why GUIX isn't reading configuration file?
Previously what I thought was a gdm issue, upon further investigation I believe this to be a guix issue or my lack of understanding guix way of doing things. My current issue is after installing guix with a guided installation. I preceded to install bspwm as a user, what is happening is I created a .xsession file and chmod +x ~/.xsession with the following content: sxhkd -c $HOME/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc & polybar -c $HOME/.config/polybar/config & exec bspwm -c $HOME/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc At first I've tried: exec bspwm And it still doesn't work. The issue that I'm not understanding is the bspwmrc file isn't being read after logging in so I have to open a terminal and do this. source $HOME/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc Looking at my config.scm file, I've noticed that services-type-desktop only shows XFCE. How can I get bspwm added to this file? Or is there a way to get bspmwmrc file read automatically? At the login screen, although XFCE and BSPWM are both installed there is only a login prompt. To run XFCE I have to remove the ~/.xsession file. XFCE was installed during installation of GUIX, after install as regular user I install BSPWM. -- www.pippenbuyshouses.com

Gdm not recognizing window manager
Greetings I just installed GUIX 1.4.0 over the weekend with XFCE. Then I installed Bspwm and sxhkd. Then I created a .xsession file with only this content: exec bspwm Restarted laptop tried logging in and it only goes back to login screen. My question is with gdm how do I get gdm to allow me to choose between XFCE and Bspwm? Sent from my iPhone
