Hello,

I use x11vnc server, only as a package not as a service.

HTH!

As it looks like virtualbox guest additions are even more difficult to get 
working on Guix, I would be happy to try and come up with service definition 
for a VNC server. TigerVNC comes to mind.

If anyone can come up with some helpful pointers (I did define a few Guix 
packages, but no services so far), it would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Todor

Nobody seems to have worked on one yet, so no luck for you :/. Maybe others 
here have a workaround, or can provide more detailed guidance on how to define 
such a service if you're interested. I have never used VNC myself, so I'm not 
sure what work is still needed to get a working service definition.
