The problem here is that stopping a ‘file-system-xxx’ Shepherd service amounts to stopping the ‘user-processes’—i.e., kill all the user processes. This can be seen in the service dependency graph: guix system shepherd-graph the-config.scm | dot -Tps > t.ps So ‘guix system reconfigure’ should detect this case and keep the service up and running instead of stopping it. Namely, ‘call-with-service-upgrade-info’ in (guix scripts system) should check whether a given Shepherd service has running dependent services. To be continued… Thanks for reporting the issue and reverting the faulty commit! Ludo’. PS: On my machine (where elogind runs), Xorg.0.log reads: (II) systemd-logind: logind integration requires -keeptty and -keeptty was not provided, disabling logind integration … which suggests we’re doing things wrong here.
