Hello guix, I am here 10 month ago and now I am back. I installed guixSD v1.0.1 on Onkyo M511A5.
I was using gnome and xfce de for few days but I did not know how to set up Japanese font on gdm, I also could not change desktop on gdm and I met the issue I could not login after system reconfigure. Now I don't use de but use cwm, i3 window manager with slim display manager. I don't meet the issue with gdm. I installed ibus-anthy for Japanese but can not input Japanese because Japanese -anthy input method is missing on ibus-setup. I found below article in help-guix archives and follow it. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-08/msg00083.html My dot.xinitrc which is linked dot.xsession is as follows, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/run/current-system/profile/bin/sh # keyboardlayout setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout jp & # root color xsetroot -solid "#333333" # lang #export LANG=ja_JP.utf8 # ibus-anthy export GTK_DATA_PREFIX=/run/current-system/profile export GUIX_GTK2_IM_MODULE_FILE=/home/yoshi/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules-gtk2.cache export GUIX_GTK3_IM_MODULE_FILE=/home/yoshi/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules-gtk3.cache export IBUS_COMPONENT_PATH=/home/yoshi/.guix-profile/share/ibus/component export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus #export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus ibus-daemon -drx exec $1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can not yet input Japanese with ibus-anthy. I installed ibus, anthy, ibus-anthy and python.... I found python ...ibus-anthy/engine/main.py --ibus missing. yoshi@wara ~$ ps ax | grep ibus 5513 pts/1 Sl 0:02 /home/yoshi/.guix-profile/bin/ibus-daemon --xim 5518 pts/1 Sl 0:00 /gnu/store/r7vn81lcd7q9i3wy2jf3vi7rfh0ga98h-ibus-1.5.20/libexec/ibus-dconf 5520 pts/1 Sl 0:00 /gnu/store/r7vn81lcd7q9i3wy2jf3vi7rfh0ga98h-ibus-1.5.20/libexec/ibus-ui-gtk3 5522 pts/1 Sl 0:00 /gnu/store/r7vn81lcd7q9i3wy2jf3vi7rfh0ga98h-ibus-1.5.20/libexec/ibus-x11 --kill-daemon 5525 ?
