Hello Guix. I have had a problem on Guix System for about a month since a reconfigure and have tried several 'sudo guix system reconfigure config.scm'. But still cannot solve it. I have tried to include all symptoms in order to make this report useful.
My user login for Gnome appears as 'Quiliro Ord???ez' instead of Quiliro Ordóñez. Only my user quiliro is available for Gnome as Quiliro Ord????ez until I login on tty1 terminal as user analucia. Then that user appears as Ana Luc??a Barahona on Gnome. When I am logged in as user in Gnome and I change to tty1 (with C-M-F1), if I go back to tty7, I get a new Gnome login. The Gnome session I was on is on tty8. My config.scm has been tested with (locale "es_EC.UTF-8") and with (locale "es_ES.utf8"). I have errors with both. With es_EC.UTF-8, I get English language displayed, not Spanish on web pages. With es_ES.utf8, I get Spanish displayed, but still have the other international character problems. I cannot open gnome-session. When I open it via Xfce-terminal it replies with error: quiliro@GSD3 ~$ gnome-terminal # Locale not supported by C library. # Using the fallback 'C' locale. # Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 9 quiliro@GSD3 ~$ I cannot type characters such as ĝ on C-M-F1 as well as on Xfce-terminal and Emacs in Gnome. But I can type characters such as ó and ñ. I don't have that problem on Icecat. My current locale is es_EC.UTF-8: quiliro@GSD3 ~$ locale locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=es_EC.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="es_EC.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="es_EC.UTF-8" LC_TIME="es_EC.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="es_EC.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="es_EC.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="es_EC.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="es_EC.UTF-8" LC_NAME="es_EC.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="es_EC.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="es_EC.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="es_EC.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_EC.UTF-8" LC_ALL= quiliro@GSD3 ~$ My complete system reconfigure file (config.scm) is: (use-modules (gnu) (gnu system nss)) (use-service-modules desktop xorg) (use-package-modules certs gnome) (operating-system (host-name "GSD3") (timezone "America/Guayaquil") ;; (locale "es_EC.UTF-8") (locale "es_ES.utf8") (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "es" "dvorak")) ;for the console ;; Use the BIOS variant of GRUB (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-bootloader) (target "/dev/sda") (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))) ;for GRUB (file-systems (append (list (file-system (device (uuid "<HIDDEN>")) (mount-point "/") (type "ext4")) (file-system (device (uuid "<HIDDEN>")) (mount-point "/home/quiliro/respaldos") (type "ext4"))) %base-file-systems)) (swap-devices '("/dev/sda1")) (users ;; (cons (cons* (user-account (name "quiliro") (comment "Quiliro Ordóñez") (group "users") (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev" "audio" "video")) (home-directory "/home/quiliro")) (user-account (name "analucia") (comment "Ana Lucía Barahona") (group "users") (supplementary-groups '("netdev" "audio" "video")) (home-directory "/home/analucia")) (user-account (name "invitado") (comment "Usuario invitado") (group "users") (supplementary-groups '("netdev" "audio" "video")) (home-directory "/home/invitado")) %base-user-accounts)) ;; This is where we specify system-wide packages.
