Hi Danny, I see that you're the author of 'fprintd-service-type', added last May in the following commit:
commit 7f93bbd5aadf0427190769fba8f478c29e37b4f4 Author: Danny Milosavljevic <dan...@scratchpost.org> Date: Wed May 30 19:43:48 2018 +0200 services: Add fingerprint identification service. * gnu/services/authentication.scm: New file. * gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add it. * doc/guix.texi (Miscellaneous Services): Document it. Your manual entry for it seems to suggest that: (service fprintd-service-type) is the correct incantation, and yet when I try to build a system with this service, I see: guix system: error: /home/mhw/test-os-config.scm:77:19: no value specified for service of type 'fprintd' Tobias reported seeing the same error, as well as a user on help-g...@gnu.org who we're trying to help. I tried adding: (default-value (fprintd-configuration)) to the 'fprintd-service-type' definition, but then I get this: guix system: error: #<<fprintd-configuration> ntp: #<package fprintd@0.7.0 gnu/packages/freedesktop.scm:1190 396be70>>: invalid G-expression input and it looks like the 'ntp' field of 'fprintd-configuration' is probably misnamed. Did you test this service before pushing it to master? Does it work for you? Thanks, Mark
