Hello, Adam Mazurkiewicz skribis: > I installed networkmanager in my Xfce Desktop Environment, but it did > not allow to add new connections. What application do you use to manage NetworkManager connectivity? (The ‘network-manager’ package provides core ‘network-manager’, but on GNOME for instance the graphical application is ‘network-manager-applet’.) > ;; This is where we specify system-wide packages. > (packages (cons* icecat As a side note, I would recommend keeping application in your user profile rather than globally installed. That provides more flexibility. Thanks, Ludo’.

I'm not totally fluent with Guix services so I might be wrong but here is my understanding: (polkit-service) just starts polkit. If you want to add polkit rules, you therefore need to extend it (in the Shepherd way) by giving it a list of packages including those polkit rules. There quite a few examples in /gnu/services/desktop.scm. The manual might also help to understand syntax and how services work. But here is what I do to get ad-hoc polkit rules in my config: (services (cons* ;; I manually declare a littles service that extends polkit (service (service-type (name 'ad-hoc-polkit) ;; The interesting part: Extending the polkit service (extensions (list (service-extension polkit-service-type (const (list ;; Here is where you put the packages gvfs xfce-package-with-pokit-rules ))) %desktop-services)) I don't know which xfce package provides the polkit rules you need but if it's really the problem, adding it to the packages list should do the trick. Have a nice day, Lprndn
Adding a polkit-service to fix networkmanager
I installed networkmanager in my Xfce Desktop Environment, but it did
not allow to add new connections. A message was "Insufficient
privileges". After some googling I got to conclusion that the polkit
service is needed to fix it. Now I am trying to add the polkit-service
in the way I have seen at some config.scm examples from Google but an
error "guix system: error: more than one target service of type
'polkit'" is appearing.
I am a total newbe and I do not understand it. Help me please. Here
