Can't log in: blank login screen after reconfigure

Hi, I recently ran "guix pull" and then "guix system reconfigure" on a GuixSD installation in a VirtualBox VM. Since doing that, I can't log in. While booting, everything proceeds as usual, with normal output, until the SLiM login screen is supposed to appear. But instead of the SLiM login scre

Hi Luther, Those are really good questions. I'll try to explain what I know, and hopefully it'll be useful to you. Luther Thompson writes: > I don't know if this has been discussed before, but is there a best > practice for installing software from outside the Guix package system? For custom
