Thank you very much, Leo Famulari! Yes, only 2 changes in config make my system offers LXDE on login screen. These: adding to (use-modules (gnu packages lxde)) and adding to (packages (cons* lxde)) But I have 4 troubles now. First is that I have all DEs installed now, but I want only Xfce and LXDE. I have 5 elements on login screen now: - Xfce, as it was - KDE, - LXDE, as I wanted to add - Gnome - Openbox Sorry, why? I do not need KDE, Gnome. I thought this config only adds LXDE. Please, what is wrong in my config? I only added lxde, gedit, icecat to (packages) list and (gnu packages lxde), (gnu packages gnuzilla) to (use-modules) list.
# cat /etc/config.scm ;; This is an operating system configuration template ;; for a "desktop" setup with GNOME and Xfce where the ;; root partition is encrypted with LUKS. (use-modules (gnu) (gnu system nss) (gnu packages lxde) (gnu packages gnuzilla) ) (use-service-modules desktop) (use-package-modules certs gnome) (operating-system (host-name "antelope") (timezone "Europe/Moscow") (locale "en_US.utf8") ;; Use the UEFI variant of GRUB with the EFI System ;; Partition mounted on /boot/efi. (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-bootloader) (target "/dev/sda"))) ;; Specify a mapped device for the encrypted root partition. ;; The UUID is that returned by 'cryptsetup luksUUID'. ;(mapped-devices ; (list (mapped-device ; (source (uuid "12345678-1234-1234-1234-hash888abc")) ; (target "my-root") ; (type luks-device-mapping)))) (file-systems (cons (file-system (device "/dev/sda1") (mount-point "/") (type "ext4") ) %base-file-systems)) (swap-devices '("/dev/sda2")) (users (cons (user-account (name "bob") (comment "bob is good too") (group "users") (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev" "audio" "video")) (home-directory "/home/bob")) %base-user-accounts)) ;; This is where we specify system-wide packages. (packages (cons* nss-certs ;for HTTPS access gvfs ;for user mounts gedit icecat lxde %base-packages)) ;; Add GNOME and/or Xfce---we can choose at the log-in ;; screen with F1. Use the "desktop" services, which ;; include the X11 log-in service, networking with ;; NetworkManager, and more. (services (cons* (xfce-desktop-service) %desktop-services)) ;; Allow resolution of '.local' host names with mDNS. (name-service-switch %mdns-host-lookup-nss)) The second problem is that in LXDE I cannot switch keyboard to another language. I added applet 'Keyboard handler', configured it not to use system configurations, added russian (and turkish to try), checked Left-Win and also Alt-Shift for switch, but no keyboard keys, no mouse clicks to flag nothing giving effect. I have only US keyboard. How to figure? May be, I need to add other packages to config.scm like lxde-common, lxpannel, lxinput? The third problem, when I add applet Volume control it does not appears. I need something else to add to config? In Xfce I had nice pavucontrol applet on a panel. Th fourth is that on Xfce and LXDE I have no menu icons in video players, also in xfce-terminal: http://0x0.st/sxlH.png http://0x0.st/sxkQ.png What to do? I ask this cause last `guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm` worked too long on my Lenovo G50-30 and I need exact instructions that were never described specially for me. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ среда, сентябрь 19, 2018 12:48 ночи, Leo Famulari <l...@famulari.name> пишет: > On Tue, Sep 18, 2018 at 04:58:52PM +0000, znavko wrote: > > > Here are presented only xfce-desktop-service, gnome-desktop-service, > > mate-desktop-service, but no lxde. > > These services, which provide desktop using XFCE, GNOME, and MATE, are > defined in the file 'gnu/services/desktop.scm': > > https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/services/desktop.scm > > Currently, we don't have a desktop service for LXDE. > > Maybe a service is not required?
