Hello,

I ran the `guix gc --verify=contents' but I get no error.

I tried to connect as root in GDM, but after entering my password
nothing happen. I still could move my mouse pointer, but can click on
nothing.

Also, after connected with regular user on a generation in which I can
run `sudo -i', the command `reboot' also freeze.


PS: I am sorry for the previous e-mail send by error. I use Emacs and I
should set another keybinding for `ispell-change-dictionary' than "C-c
S".
