Dear Stefan,

Unfortunately, though, I had in the meantime done a “git pull,” so
the reconfigure brought in the new GNOME, and now GDM does not
come up on boot, so I cannot see what would or what not have
worked after that.
I fixed my GDM not showing up by adding the gnome-desktop-service-type
to my configuration.
This now hit me, too.
I’m currently reconfiguring with this change:
…
(service sddm-service-type
(sddm-configuration
(auto-login-user "USER")
(auto-login-session "xfce.desktop")
(minimum-uid 500)))
)
Maybe I should try SDDM again for a change, forgot why I switched to GDM.
(I'm taking a moment to enjoy Guix. It is so nice to switch desktop
managers on a whim without having this voice in the back of my head
warning me that I'm in for a day of troubleshooting because I'll somehow
break everything. And GDM suddenly breaking isn't bad either, we can
just roll back. It gives such a feeling of freedom. Thanks all.)
(modify-services %desktop-services
(delete gdm-service-type)
…
Best wishes,
Arne
