Hello Guix, I would like to propose an enhancement to our SLiM service which would allow it to be started on multiple ttys (much like our mingetty service). I believe this would be useful for users who do not want to use GDM but still want to be able to run multiple graphical sessions at the same time.
For this to work we would have to patch our SLiM package along the lines of this [0] since the Xorg display is currently hard coded (although we probably do not need the command line option). I have attached a crude proof of concept which can be tested by running something along the lines of: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- qemu-system-x86_64 -snapshot -enable-kvm -m 4G $(guix system vm-image config.scm) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Regards, Diego [0]: http://www.beroal.in.ua/prg/linux/slim-conf-arg.patch
