I checked in my system (guix system 3f17158, kernel 5.18.12), and saw the same: No font appears selected in GNOME Tweaks. That seems like a bug to me. As a workaround, I did the following: 1. guix install font-abattis-cantarell 2. fc-cache -rv (see https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html#X11-Fonts) Then, launch GNOME Tweaks again and cantarell should be selected. publickey - luis.felipe.la@protonmail.com - 0x12DE1598.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Cantarell font with the gnome desktop interface
Hello, Since I use a profile based on kernel 5.18, the cantarell font is not available in the gnome desktop interface (gnome-tweak / fonts): the cantarell font is not listed in the list of available interface fonts. When I revert to a profile based on a 5.17 kernel, the cantarell font is available in the gnome desktop interface (and selected by default). What can I do to find the cantarell font with a profile based on kernel 5.18? Thank you Christophe

This seems like a good idea. Users of the gnome-service-type could swap out “gnome” (which would default to including all packages the GNOME developers deem to be part of a recommended GNOME installation) for “gnome-minimal”. Shall we discuss the details at bug 35586? -- Ricardo

I agree. It would be nice to have an minimal package and bells-and-whistles package. While checking some things for GNOME 3.30, I (inadvertently) made a list of all the “core” GNOME software that we are missing. I thought I would post it here just for the record. I don’t know what all of these are, but some of them look ripe for packaging. :) gnome-boxes gnome-characters gnome-color-manager gnome-contacts gnome-documents gnome-font-viewer gnome-getting-started-docs gnome-initial-setup gnome-logs gnome-menus gnome-music gnome-online-miners gnome-photos gnome-software gnome-themes-extra gnome-user-docs gnome-user-share gnome-weather gssdp gupnp gupnp-av gupnp-dlna gupnp-igd libgepub libgovirt libgrss libmediaart mm-common mousetweaks phodav rygel sushi tracker-miners vino -- Tim

FWIW, we have a large selection of music players in Guix. Two that are built on GNOME libraries include 'rhythmbox' and 'lollypop', but there are many others, too many to list here. For calendaring programs, we currently have 'gnome-calendar' and 'evolution', and possibly others. >I thought I do not have deal with additional applications if >I use a Desktop Environment, but it seems GNOME Desktop in Guix is >incomplete. :(. Are there any tricks to enable and use these missing >applications please? Simply install your preferred applications to your user profile, or alternatively you could add them to the 'packages' field of your system profile. It's possible that our GNOME desktop should include more programs by default. Can you tell us specifically which programs you think should be added? In the area of music players and calendars, I suspect that no matter what choices we make here, a large percentage of our users will not want our default choices. Most people seem to have specific programs that they prefer to use, and there's not much agreement in these areas. Moreover, sadly, I get the impression that most of the younger generation prefer to use web-based Services as a Software Substitute (SaaSS)[1] for their music and calendaring needs. So, if we add a default music player and calendar, I suspect that for many (if not most) users, those defaults will merely be unwanted bloat. Some users will ask how to remove the defaults, to avoid repeatedly downloading substitutes for programs they don't want, which will be awkward. Given this, it seems a reasonable choice to let users explicitly install their preferred programs. Does that make sense? What do you think?

That it is missing is a bug. Some core applications have not been packaged yet, but alternatives have been packaged already, e.g. when entering guix search photos | less you can see that shotwell is packaged, even though gnome-photos is not.

Hi, How can I use GNOME Core Applications (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Core_Applications) that are missing in Guix System? I am quite frusturated and disappointed with the GNOME Desktop in Guix. I can't even use a music player or a calendar. I thought I do not have deal with additional applications if I use a Desktop Environment, but it seems GNOME Desktop in Guix is incomplete. :(. Are there any tricks to enable and use these missing applications please? Thanks.
