Hi Guix,

I wanted to use the Cinnamon desktop
but doing a sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

it gives me an error:
cinnamon-desktop-service-type: Nicht gebundene Variable - German
cinnamon-desktop-service-type: not bound variable

I have got in my config.scm:

...
   (packages
      (append
        (list)
        %base-packages))
    (services
      (append
        (list (service plasma-desktop-service-type)
              (service lxqt-desktop-service-type)
              (service cinnamon-desktop-service-type)
          (service cups-service-type
                (cups-configuration
                    (web-interface? #t)
                    (extensions (list cups-filters hplip))))    
...

So I have got it there.
Where is my mistake?

thanks for help

 From a simple "guix system search" seems that "cinnamon-desktop-service-type" 
doens't exist.

I also checked on "https://toys.whereis.social/"; to be sure.
I think you'll have to define the service yourself.

Mario.

thanks

I also did not find it in the manual,
but the packages are already available,
that´s why I hoped cinnamon-desktop did already exist.

I can´t define the service myself.

So I am hoping within the next 3 years somebody is going to add the cinnamon desktop and the trinity desktop.
