Thanks! I got a vm with ssh service and gnome, using ... (packages (cons* gnome gnome-shell guile-wm nss-certs xkbutils %base-packages)) (services (cons* (console-keymap-service "dvorak") ;; TODO: package dvorak-control (dhcp-client-service) (lsh-service #:port-number 2222 #:allow-empty-passwords? #t #:root-login? #t) (postgresql-service) (filter (lambda (x) (not (eq? (service-kind x) (@@ (gnu services networking) wicd-service-type)))) %desktop-services))) That allowed me to log-in using ssh and investigate the `Oh no! Something has gone wrong' In /var/log/messages, it says Feb 29 23:00:10 localhost gnome-session-binary[582]: WARNING: software acceleration check failed: Child process exited with code 1 Although it is marked as a warning, this is probably the cause that gnome session login fails. I patched *-gnome-session-3.18.1.2/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop to use Exec=gnome-session --disable-acceleration-check but this seems to have no effect. How is gnome-session started in guix, what file should be patched? Ideas?
