I've read an actual guix manual pages from the local source tree, figured out
the consist of %desktop-services Scheme variable and retyped my config. These
things were done there: removing gdm-service-type, adding slim-service-type and
configuring slim-service-type to work with touchpad. Then `guix system
reconfigure /etc/config.scm' was run. gdm disappeared, as you said. It will not
pull GNOME 3 stuff now.
(services (cons*
(service xfce-desktop-service-type)
(service dhcp-client-service-type)
(service slim-service-type)
(modify-services
(remove (lambda (service)
(member (service-kind service)
(list ntp-service-type
avahi-service-type
bluetooth-service
network-manager-service-type
gdm-service-type)))
%desktop-services) ;end of remove lambda
services
(wpa-supplicant-service-type config =>
(wpa-supplicant-configuration
(interface "wlp2s0")
(config-file
"/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf")))
(slim-service-type config =>
(slim-configuration
(xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration
(extra-config
'("Section \"InputClass\"
Identifier \"touchpad\"
Driver \"libinput\"
MatchIsTouchpad \"on\"
Option \"Tapping\" \"on\"
EndSection")
)))))
(elogind-service-type
c => (elogind-configuration (handle-lid-switch
'ignore)))
) ;;end of modify-services
)) ;;end of services
Thank you, Mark!
